Borderline

Cross the line.

Go ahead and cross the line.

Seriously go ahead, lead the way, extend the boundary.

Joshua 1:3-6 Every place upon which the sole of your foot shall tread, that have I given to you, as I promised Moses. From the wilderness and this Lebanon to the great river Euphrates—all the land of theHittites Canaan—and to the Great Mediterranean Sea on the west shall be your territory. No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will not fail you or forsake you. Be strong (confident) and of good courage, for you shall cause this people to inherit the land which I swore to their fathers to give them.

Hold the line.

Push the boundary.

Extend the border.

Define a new boundary.

They will say “what were you thinking!?”

They will consider it an outrage.

They will rage and want you out.

Yet stand firm.

Yet stand.

Yet be firm.

Be immovable.

Be unshakable.

For all around you shall be shaken, yet you shall be immovable.

You see it now don’t you?

Standing on the edge. Behind me a great fall. In front of me much opposition.

In a moment, in an instant I will make my point.

Yes I will make my point.

There will be a point made.

When the dust settles, what is it you see?

The falling away of all but the point. A pinnacle remains. A monument to your glory

For my point shall be made.

My position shall be established.

My point cannot be altered, cannot be shaken, is immovable.

At the end of all the shaking, all the commotion, my point remains.

Yet it is a turning point, the point of the turning.

For who can stand in my way?

Seriously, who can stand in my way!

I make my point, and the enemy is scattered, melts away, falls away, backs off, retreats. Fear is running scared.

Yet my purpose is to extend the boundary.

For the boundary is beyond the point.

The border is far beyond the point.

For my point shall be established.

My point shall cause your opponents to give ground, to call upon you to set a new border.

They will say “it is borderline”, and you shall decree a new border.

For there shall be more.

I will cause you to inherit the land.

They shall say “what is the point?”

And I will show them a “point”, I will define a new point for them.

A learning point.

A leaning point.

A resting point.

A defining point.

A restoration point.

Yet this is not a point that they can go back to.

This is a point they will move forward to.

For they are missing my point.

Yet I will give them what they are missing.

You pause and wonder “what is the point?”

Yet you are my point.

It is time to reveal my point.

Did I not say I would build upon the pinnacle?

Are you getting my point?

Are you receiving my point?

For you possess my point.

You are the point.

For it is not pointless.

Your efforts are not without a point.

For the enemy invites you to come.

He beacons you higher.

Is this not my point.

For when the enemy comes in like a flood, that is when I make a higher point.

For as you climb up, he cannot take you down.

For you shall possess the highest point.

You can see it now can’t you?

The climbing up. The high ground. The taking of the high ground. The great shaking and quaking. The point made. Two remaining on point, on the point.

For they shall look up to you.

Standing on the high place.

Visible for all to see.

Standing out.

Outstanding.

For this is not an ordinary position.

Hold fast to that which is true.

Take hold of that which I have given you.

1 Samuel 14:6-16 And Jonathan said to his young armor-bearer, Come, and let us go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised; it may be that the Lord will work for us. For there is nothing to prevent the Lord from saving by many or by few. And his armor-bearer said to him, Do all that is in your mind; I am with you in whatever you think best. Jonathan said, We will pass over to these men and we will let them see us. If they say to us, Wait until we come to you, then we will stand still in our place and will not go up to them. But if they say, Come up to us, we will go up, for the Lord has delivered them into our hand, and this will be our sign. So both of them let the Philistine garrison see them. And the Philistines said, Behold, the Hebrews are coming out of the holes where they have hidden themselves. The garrison men said to Jonathan and his armor-bearer, Come up to us and we will show you a thing. Jonathan said to his armor-bearer, Come up after me, for the Lord has given them into Israel’s hand. Then Jonathan climbed up on his hands and feet, his armor-bearer after him; and the enemy fell before Jonathan, and his armor-bearer killed them after him. And that first slaughter which Jonathan and his armor-bearer made was about twenty men within about a half acre of land which a yoke of oxen might plow. And there was trembling and panic in the Philistine camp, in the field, and among all the men; the garrison, and even the raiders trembled; the earth quaked, and it became a terror from God. Saul’s watchmen in Gibeah of Benjamin looked, and behold, the multitude melted away and went hither and thither.
