The main strategy of the devil has been to get everyone (including believers) to be conformed to
the standards that he has set or patterned for his world system or ways of living that leads to
death and destruction. Remember the Bible calls him “the god of this world/age” 2 Corinth 4:4.

gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them.

Psalms 91:9-10 (NKJV Strong's)

FIVE AREAS OF LEARNING TO BE DIFFERENT FROM A FALLEN WORLD
1. Choice - always choose life & the Blessing
2. Covenant - God’s obligation to fulfill His promises over your life
3. What you Treasure - Your heart follows your treasure
4. The word - receive the Word of God as the only ultimate truth & authority
5. Who you are: of Light and Day - stay in the light and stay awake!
Deuteronomy 30:19-20 (NKJV)
19 I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and
death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live;
20 that you may love the LORD your God, that you may obey His voice, and that you may cling to
Him, for He is your life and the length of your days; and that you may dwell in the land which the
LORD swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give them."
Isaiah 60:1-5 (NKJV)
1 Arise, shine;For your light has come!And the glory of the LORD is risen upon you.
2 For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth,And deep darkness the people;But the LORD will
arise over you,And His glory will be seen upon you.
3 The Gentiles shall come to your light,And kings to the brightness of your rising.
4 "Lift up your eyes all around, and see:They all gather together, they come to you;Your sons shall
come from afar,And your daughters shall be nursed at your side.
5 Then you shall see and become radiant,And your heart shall swell with joy;Because the
abundance of the sea shall be turned to you,The wealth of the Gentiles shall come to you.
Matthew 6:19-21 (NKJV)
Lay Up Treasures in Heaven
19 "Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where
thieves break in and steal;
20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where
thieves do not break in and steal.
21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
1 Thessalonians 2:13 (NKJV)
Their Conversion
13 For this reason we also thank God without ceasing, because when you received the word of
God which you heard from us, you welcomed it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the
word of God, which also effectively works in you who believe.
Joshua 3:3-4 (NKJV)
3 and they commanded the people, saying, "When you see the ark of the covenant of the LORD
your God, and the priests, the Levites, bearing it, then you shall set out from your place and go
after it.
4 Yet there shall be a space between you and it, about two thousand cubits by measure. Do not
come near it, that you may know the way by which you must go, for you have not passed this way
before."
What do you do in a place you’ve never been before?
1. You observe & listen very closely
2. You follow instructions & obey
3. You stay together very closely
THE DRYING UP OF THE WATERS HAD A DUAL PURPOSE: FOR COVENANT PEOPLE TO
CROSSOVER & TO PLACE THEIR ENEMIES ON NOTICE!
Joshua 4:23-24 (NKJV)
23 for the LORD your God dried up the waters of the Jordan before you until you had crossed
over, as the LORD your God did to the Red Sea, which He dried up before us until we had crossed
over,
24 that all the peoples of the earth may know the hand of the LORD, that it is mighty, that you
may fear the LORD your God forever."
THE WILDERNESS PROVISION STOPS WHEN YOU START TO FEED FROM THE LAND OF
PROMISE - living by promise is far greater than living from hand to mouth!

children of Israel no longer had manna, but they ate the food of the land of Canaan that year.
1 Thessalonians 5:2-6 (NKJV)
2 For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night.
3 For when they say, "Peace and safety!" then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains
upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape.
4 But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief.
5 You are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness.
6 Therefore let us not sleep, as others do, but let us watch and be sober.
1 Thessalonians 5:8-9 (NKJV)
8 But let us who are of the day be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a
helmet the hope of salvation.
9 For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,
1 Thessalonians 5:8-9 (NLT)
8 But let us who live in the light be clearheaded, protected by the armor of faith and love, and
wearing as our helmet the confidence of our salvation.
9 For God chose to save us through our Lord Jesus Christ, not to pour out his anger on us.
