“ Faith, Love, & Lies”

Take territory series pt5

Joshua 2:1-16

Rahab

1️⃣ She lied it made the enemy leave

2️⃣She believed it was Israel’s land

3️⃣She spared the spies lives =saved her own family’s lives

‼️This seems antithetical to our theology and idea of morality … church taught you were worth more to God than most people …

❓She lied 🤥 Why did God love her ?

❓She was prostitute why did God praise her?

• Rahab was a triple outcast : Foreigner, Female, possibly forced into an unfavorable life (prostitution) but she had unfailing FAITH

• Rahab Lied to men

was loved by God

Just to end up in the lineage of Jesus

• Some people are mad at you bc👉🏽they can’t categorize you👉🏽God still chose you 👉🏽after all you been through👉🏽and their still asking WHY you?

**Rahab took territory or her life, by helping them take the territory of the land , and ended up in Jesus’ lineage

In this season be careful who you put your mouth on. Don’t let social media lure you into a false sense of security!

**From mistress of men to ancestress to the Savior

PRINCIPLES that took Place:

👉🏽 God favored her because of her Faith

*He’s giving you an opportunity to prove this isn’t even the real you

*You’ve lived a life that’s been a lie

*Maybe circumstances have trapped you or provided an excuse for you

*God still wants to use you
