Watch the Sign Posts Ahead

And the Lord says, "Watch your footing for there are a series of sharp shifts and turns ahead. In order for you to maneuver successfully your footing must be firm. You must be rooted, planted and grounded in the Word. For the sign posts ahead will be many and if you are not studying to show yourself approved as My workmanship, you will be unable to discern and divide between what is coming as direction from Me and what is from the enemy. The condition of your heart will determine the direction you take. This is why I say I must have your heart; turn your heart to me and be delivered into your freedom."

Joshua 24:22-24 “You are a witness to your own decision,” Joshua said. “You have chosen to serve the LORD.” “Yes,” they replied, “we are witnesses to what we have said.” “All right then,” Joshua said, “destroy the idols among you, and turn your hearts to the LORD, the God of Israel.” The people said to Joshua, “We will serve the LORD our God. We will obey him alone.”

And forgive your people, who have sinned against you.
