Joshua 5:13-15 “I Have Come To Take Over…”

Pastor Andy Falleur delivers a stirring message on Joshua 5:13-15, where Joshua, poised for the daunting battle of Jericho, encounters the Commander of the Lord’s army—likely a pre-incarnate Jesus—who declares He is on neither side but has come to lead, prompting Joshua to worship and surrender on holy ground. Andy emphasizes that the story shifts the question from “Is God on my side?” to “Am I on God’s side?” highlighting God’s sovereignty, His invitation to join His righteous work, and His merciful call to repentance, as seen with Rahab and echoed in the Great Commission. Through Joshua’s courage and God’s warrior nature, Andy urges listeners to surrender their struggles, align with God’s mission of justice and love, and trust that Jesus, the ultimate revelation of God, meets us exactly as we need Him in our battles.
