Josh 8:18
18 Then the Lord said to Joshua, “Point the spear in your hand toward Ai, for I will hand the town over to you.” Joshua did as he was commanded.

We thought it was cool when Babe Ruth pointed to center field (well at least our grandparents did), but how cool is this! We can walk mindful and fully aware of Gods will in our lives. He wants us to run boldly into our promised land battles with deliberate persistence! I don’t agree with the ” name it and claim it” line of thought from the “Faith Movement” of the seventies and eighties, but there is a truth to ” calling those things that aren’t as though they are”. To pointing at the city, or the obstacle in our way in defiance and violent persistence. Or to pointing at the promises for our lives, our families, our churches with a stubborn aggressive faith, not settling for anything but all that God has promised us! You can’t win a fight if you go into it believing your going to lose! We already know we win, so point your spear at your Ai and charge! Whooahh!! (that was my intimidating battle cry)

Josh 8:26
For Joshua kept holding out his spear until everyone who had lived in Ai was completely destroyed.

The Kingdom of God suffers violence, and I’m taking it by force,
