| The three requirements you talk about for Joshua that give success, do you have those that you could give us? | |
| Yeah, let me, I'm going to answer this a slightly different way, but I know what you're asking, and I want to tell you what I think was important that really made Joshua the man that he was. | |
| The first thing is that he had a mentor. | |
| And men, I'm telling you, men, if you're a Christian man today, you better be mentoring somebody. | |
| You better be mentoring somebody. | |
| It could be your family. | |
| It could be someone, a friend or something. | |
| But Joshua had a mentor, and it was the great man, Moses. | |
| And Moses, he walked in Moses' footsteps, and he watched Moses, and he saw what Moses did. | |
| So he had a mentor. | |
| Every man needs a mentor. | |
| Number two, he understood history. | |
| He understood the history of the Israelites. | |
| He understood enough to make sure that they knew their history. | |
| Jim, one of the things that's happening in America today is we're losing our way because we don't know our history. | |
| We don't teach our history. | |
| And we've got to get back to teaching American history and talking about the sacrifices that have been made and talking about the things that America has done. | |
| And then finally, the third thing was that as far as Moses was concerned, he was a man on a mission. | |
| He was a man who had only one mission, and that was to lead. | |
| And he focused on that, and he didn't get distracted. | |
| And he didn't go off on tangents. | |
| Oh, yeah, he had some failures. | |
| You know, when they lost the battle of AI, and he laid down on the ground and he said, God, why did you bring us out of Egypt? | |
| And what did God say to him? | |
| Get up off your face and get back in this battle. | |
| I'm still with you. | |
| And he understood that. | |
