Joshua 10 [The Message]

As Christians, we are engaged in a struggle for the health of our soul. Our enemy, the devil and our own flesh, are determined to prevent us from experiencing God’s best for our lives. In the way Joshua and the Hebrew army annihilated their foes in Canaan, we are likewise to aim to completely destroy the enemies of our spiritual well-being. We are not to tolerate sin in the least. Kill it. Mortify it.

Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: [Col. 3:5]
