Feel the fear and do it anyway, just like Joshua (or perhaps a little bit like Joshua)

Hello,

At risk of over blogging I thought I would share some more thoughts. We are now on the battle of Jericho. Now I know Joshua is heralded as a model leader in Christian circles, but in all honesty, he is a bit too "yeah, let's go and kill loads of people" for my liking....  but once again I decided to crop, cut and paste the grizzly bits onto my mental clip-board for further study at some point, and focus on the spiritual parallels which is what we are doing living in the tension between the "now" and the "not yet".  

Heavenly army

A week ago during the worship part of the morning service I saw an army of chariots and horses radiating out above the congregation in waves. At the peak of this army was a charioteer holding high a banner in one raised arm and controlling 4 galloping horses with the other. I felt this awesome sight was to do with the story in 2 Kings 6.
