The Battle for Blessings: Driving Out Sin to Claim God's Promises

 "... for you shall drive out the Canaanites, though they have iron chariots and are strong." Joshua 17:18

Because God's promise was there, it didn't matter how strong the Canaanites were; it didn't matter if they had chariots of iron. Although sins are strong, although they may seem insurmountable and easily besetting, God's children must drive them all out.

The house of Joseph had to drive out the Canaanites to have the mountain country. God's children also cannot enjoy their blessings as long as there is sin in their lives. It didn't matter how long the mighty Canaanites had dwelt on the mountain; they had to be driven out, and God's people could do it.

There is no sin that is impossible to overcome. By God's power, we can and must put to death all sins.
