No, dear brothers and sisters, I have not achieved it, but I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, 14 <\/sup><\/strong>I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us.   <\/em>Philippians 3:13-14<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps you will think to yourselves, \u2018How can we ever conquer these nations that are so much more powerful than we are?\u2019 But don\u2019t be afraid of them! Just remember what the Lord your God did to Pharaoh and to all the land of Egypt   <\/em>Deuteronomy 7:17-18<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 \u201cNo, do not be afraid of those nations, for the Lord your God is among you, and he is a great and awesome God. The Lord your God will drive those nations out ahead of you little by little. You will not clear them away all at once, otherwise the wild animals would multiply too quickly for you. But the Lord your God will hand them over to you. He will throw them into complete confusion until they are destroyed. He will put their kings in your power, and you will erase their names from the face of the earth. No one will be able to stand against you, and you will destroy them all.    <\/em>Deuteronomy 7:21-24<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But I will not drive them out in a single year, because the land would become desolate and the wild animals would multiply and threaten you. I will drive them out a little at a time until your population has increased enough to take possession of the land   Exodus 23:29<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
