The Extreme faith of Joshua…

Have you asked God for unusual breaks to accomplish your dreams? This is just what Joshua did. He was in the midst of a great battle, he and his army men were trying to finish of this army. But the sun was going down; they were running out of daylight. And Joshua knew that if he didn’t totally defeat this army, later on they will rise up and cause him problems, he could have easily got discouraged, thought it was not going to happen, but Joshua had this uncommon faith . He was bold, he said God, I know this is out of the ordinary; I am asking you to stop the Sun, so that I can have more daylight and totally complete this test. Imagine the nerve of Joshua, he asked God to do something that had never been done before. God would have said, who do you think you are? I am not going to stop the sun, that kind of selfish, that might disrupt other people. Know this, When you have this uncommon faith; it brings a smile to Gods face. You can see God telling to his angels, listen to what this man is saying. He is extreme, he is radical, he is asking me to stop the Sun. God said in an effect to Joshua, Your bold enough to ask it, I am bold enough to do it. The scripture says, the sun stood still until he completely stopped the army. It goes on to say that, there has never been a day like that before. The people stood there in utter amazement. What happened? God interrupted the entire universe, just because one man had uncommon faith.
