The Lord Goes Before You | Get In Position

``Hear this. Joshua Joshua's leadership ah, Lord, I thank you. See, don't miss this. Joshua's leadership, it didn't start in Joshua chapter one. It started years earlier. He was serving Moses. He was waiting there in the tent. He stayed in the tent. He was fighting battles that he did not start. Now God says, it's your turn. I've been preparing your path, and I feel like running around this place this morning because I feel the spirit of God tapping some of y'all on the shoulder and saying to you, it's your turn.

He never commands what he hasn't already covered. So so now let's go into this third part, which is covenant reality. Covenant reality is the present truth. Watch this. That God is with you, that God goes before you, and that God is responsible for fulfillment. I said God is with you. God goes before you, and it is he that is responsible for fulfillment.

It's sustained by presence, not by see, it's not about needing more money. It's not about needing more volunteers. It's not about needing more creative ideas. It's about God with us. It's about God being for us. And if God be for us, he is more than the world against us. Listen to me closely, leaders. Listen to me closely. [00:21:01] (25 seconds)  #SustainedByPresence

What has more authority? A badge or a gun? Notice I didn't say what had more power. I said authority. Y'all smart, but I know there's some people that's like, that gun. That gun just shows that that you got some power, but that badge shows that you have authority. You know why? Because the badge shows who you're connected to. See, a title looks powerful, but power flows from connection. [00:39:54] (59 seconds)  #AuthorityFromConnection

So I I got up, and I went to the window. And when I got to the window, I saw him down below. And so I began to give him instructions on how to get where I already was. And when I began to give him instructions of where I already was, he tried to combat me based on the directions that he previously had. But I said, no. Don't worry about those no more. I'm already here. Y'all ain't saying nothing to me in this place. I see you, and I'm gonna lead you to where you need to be. [00:28:37] (57 seconds)  #LeadingFromWhereIAm

When you are aligned and when you are clear on your purpose, you don't let nothing pull you away, and you learn how to keep your mouth shut. See, that's why I I didn't even tell some of the close people to me. I didn't tell because because they were like, well, let's try to figure it and work it out. I need to work it out. My decision was already made. I was not going to be pulled out of alignment. [00:43:09] (31 seconds)  #AlignedAndSilent

Are closing twenty one days of consecration. Twenty one days of fasting, twenty one days of praying, twenty one days of denying the flesh, twenty one days of sharpening the spirit, and we are opening, hear me good, a new chapter. Somebody say a new chapter. A new chapter. A renewed year of service for all of you all who are in leadership. A new a new a new chapter in in leadership, a new chapter in alignment, and and a new chapter in obedience. [00:07:09] (38 seconds)  #21DaysNewChapter

God does not command leaders based on their confidence. He commands them based on his covenant. So what does this mean? It means that when God commands faithfulness, he supplies the grace. It means that when God commands courage, he supplies the presence. It means that when God commands leadership, he supplies the authority. [00:21:26] (27 seconds)  #CovenantSuppliesLeadership
