    Joshua 4:8-9, “And the children of Israel did so, just as Joshua commanded, and took up twelve stones from the midst of the Jordan, as the Lord had spoken to Joshua, according to the number of the tribes of the children of Israel, and carried them over with them to the place where they lodged, and laid them down there. Then Joshua set up twelve stones in the midst of the Jordan, in the place where the feet of the priests who bore the ark of the covenant stood; and they are there to this day.”

    It’s time to cross over! It’s time for your ministry to cross over! It’s time for you and all that you represent to cross into the new! The time of promise and stepping into the lands of promise is now!

    There’s two different types of stones that are alluded to in this passage. Both of them refer to memory and hold weight and value. However, there are dead-weights of the past and there are heavy-weights of glory. There is a parallel of differences here. One set of stones represent judgment and the other represents justice and righteousness. One set of stones represents the old and the other represents the new. One represents death and the other represents life.

    There are twelve stones that will lead you into your destiny and there are twelve stones that you are meant to leave behind. There are stones of memory that will lead you and there are stones of memory that will leech onto you if you don’t let it go. It’s time for you to cross over into the new and for you to cross your Jordan River!

    The Old is Gone

    Your memory stones will bring you into your future. You are meant to bring up those precious moments of divine encounters with the Lord and bring them into your future. These moments of victory will become signposts and prophetic symbols of where you came from and where you are going.

    God is doing a new thing and He wants to do it through you!

    Most people seem to either ignore this or to read over it. However, the Bible is clear that there were twelve other stones that Joshua intentionally left behind in the midst of the river of Jordan. Prophetically, led by the Lord, Joshua intentionally left behind twelve stones in the River Jordan.

    This represents the dead-weight which was holding you back! This represents the stones of burdens and backlash. This represents the heaviness of yesterday and the stresses and strains of what’s been difficult. The Israelites went through havoc, trials, testing and wandering around in the desert for 40 years! It was 40 years too long! In these 40 years of wandering, the Israelites picked up many things that they shouldn’t have. The Israelites picked up things that weren’t ordained by God.

    There’s some things that you may have picked up in the journey that shouldn’t be in your destination. There’s some hitch-hikers that you may have picked up for a ride, but you must leave behind before you reach your stop.

    The old should not be brought into your new! Let go of the leaven! Leave the old behind! There’s some things of the past that don’t ever need to be remembered again. Those dead-weights of pain and burden are not a part of you anymore. Leave it behind in the River Jordan.

    These stones of memory are stones waiting to be judged in the River Jordan. It needs to be cut-off, circumcised and buried deep down. It needs to be left behind and swept over and above by the rivers of judgment.

    The old will be forgotten as quickly as the Jordan waters cover over these stones. It’s time for you to be free from these things and for you to cross over!

    Crossing Over

    However, there are twelve stones that the Lord wants you to bring as you cross into your new you! In fact, it is absolutely necessary for you to carry it into your cross over! What are those foundational things that God wants you to carry into this new season? What are those memories with Him that will become cornerstones of your faith for all that is ahead?

    God is anointing the Church to be prepared to cross into their Promised Land. In these High Holy Days, the Holy Spirit is anointing the Bride to have wisdom and discernment to know what to cut-off and what to carry. To know what is essential to bring into the new and to discern what elementary things should be left behind. The Holy Spirit is anointing the Church with fresh insight and revelation, to walk ahead and move forward into the new!

    Do not look back! Yesterday is already long gone! Do not treat today like yesterday. God wants you to fully possess today! Today is your day! This new year is your year! It is the acceptable year of favor!

    These memorial stones will be set up as a reminder and a testimony of God’s goodness. They will be prophetic symbols pointing you to the new thing that God is leading you into. You will know where a person is going by the stones they’ve set up. You will have direction in your life by the clear signposts you set up.

    These signposts of memory will lead you into your destiny. They become memories of honor. These rocks will cry out of your honor! These rocks will cry out of your destiny! These rocks will cry out of your glory! They will properly guide you into the new government that God is giving you.

    Joshua Generation

    This is the Joshua generation. It’s time for the Joshuas to arise! This may sound so cliché, but I do believe that the anointing and mandate of Joshua is going to mark this Millennial generation. There are new things that the Lord wants you to possess. There are new things that the Lord wants you to have. You are meant to walk into and step into new lands, planes, and places that your fore-fathers and fore-mothers have only dreamed of. It’s time for your dreams to become a reality. It’s time for the Joshuas to cross over and to possess their lands of promise and fruition!

    The time of promise and stepping into the lands of promise is now!

    Your parents dreams are becoming your reality. This Joshua generation is one of fierce prayer. This Joshua generation is one of baptismal presence. It is one of apostolic leadership. It is one of divine strategy. It is one of conquering new lands and territories. This Joshua generation will defeat all opposing factors.

    You are made to conquer! You are made to be a conquering king and queen! We are meant to bull-rush the gates of Hell and fully possess the gates of our enemies (Genesis 22:17). It’s time for you to possess the gates of your enemies! It’s time for you to possess the lands, riches, and resources of all that has been ordained for you.

    Get ready, oh Joshua generation, to move into your new!

    The New Governmental

    The twelve stones prophetically represented the twelve tribes of Israel. Each of the twelve tribes of Israel were represented in the crossing of the Jordan River. Twelve in the Hebrews stands for government, kingdom, and the apostolic. The stones of memory that you carry will set up the apostolic order of God in your life. It will be prophetic sign-pieces for the building of God’s Kingdom in your life.

    God is apostolically setting you apart and He is releasing governmental order. There is a new order that God is bringing up out of all of this. This new government that Jesus is establishing will be one of holiness and sanctification. It will be one where the people of God have made themselves ready. There will be no compromise. There will be no nonsense. It will be one of a holy people who have prepared themselves, let go of the old, and is becoming all that God has for them.

    God is building His Kingdom here. God is doing a new thing and He wants to do it through you! It’s time for you to cross your River Jordan! It’s time for you to carry your memorial stones of apostolic government and order. It’s time for you to bear your testimony of all that God has done. God is with you and He is for you.

    Be the Joshua that God has ordained you to be. Don’t look back and cross over into the new!
