Moses is Dead

Two summers ago, my pastor prayed for me and two other ladies at church.  He called us all up and told us that we had the spirit of Joshua and Caleb.  That excited me because I've always been very exciting about challenges and the story of Joshua and Caleb dealt with the challenge of conquering the land.  Out of the 12 spies, 10 said they couldn't do it, but Joshua and Caleb said that they could and I want to carryout that spirit.  I began reading about Joshua in the Bible and this is what I've read:

The Message Bible
Joshua 1:1-9
After the death of Moses the servant of God, God spoke to Joshua, Moses' assistant:
   "Moses my servant is dead. Get going. Cross this Jordan River, you and all the people. Cross to the country I'm giving to the People of Israel. I'm giving you every square inch of the land you set your foot on—just as I promised Moses. From the wilderness and this Lebanon east to the Great River, the Euphrates River—all the Hittite country—and then west to the Great Sea. It's all yours. All your life, no one will be able to hold out against you. In the same way I was with Moses, I'll be with you. I won't give up on you; I won't leave you. Strength! Courage! You are going to lead this people to inherit the land that I promised to give their ancestors. Give it everything you have, heart and soul. Make sure you carry out The Revelation that Moses commanded you, every bit of it. Don't get off track, either left or right, so as to make sure you get to where you're going. And don't for a minute let this Book of The Revelation be out of mind. Ponder and meditate on it day and night, making sure you practice everything written in it. Then you'll get where you're going; then you'll succeed. Haven't I commanded you? Strength! Courage! Don't be timid; don't get discouraged. God, your God, is with you every step you take."
