And the cross is the way into the promise land.
Josuah 3-5 Tells the people to sanctify themselves for they are going into the promised land.

These are the enemy's of our life's, powerful spirits of darkness.They work through our flesh And satan uses our old man to destroy us, Rom 8:7 KJV - Because the carnal mind [is] enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. Jos 3:13 KJV - And it shall come to pass, as soon as the soles of the feet of the priests that bear the ark of the LORD, the Lord of all the earth, shall rest in the waters of Jordan, [that] the waters of Jordan shall be cut off [from] the waters that come down from above; and they shall stand upon an heap.
The ark of God is his presents among the people,He is that separation through his word ,he separates us for his kingdom the children entered into the promise land not heaven! Through water baptism in Christ name according to Rom 6 . Rom 14:17 ASV - for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.
1Cr 4:20 ASV - For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.
Luk 8:10 ASV - And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to the rest in parables; that seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.

Josuah 3:16 and in this time in the spring of the year the water is at its height and flowing fierce,no man could cross at this time it was impossible, to swift.
Only God can bring separation to us ,only God can bring us through this cleansing there is no other way Its Jesus!! and no other way. In other words we are saved by this water,washed unto perfection.This scripture speaks that this water backed up all the way to a city called Adam and went down to the sea or The end of time!. it says all the way to back to Adam 1Cr 15:44 ASV - it is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual [body]. the first Adam and the second Adam. Jhn 3:6 ASV - That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Jhn 3:5 ASV - Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except one be born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God! Eph 5:25 ASV - Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself up for it; For we are betroh to another ,He is the bridegroom.
Eph 5:26 ASV - that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it by the washing of water with the word,
Eph 5:27 ASV - that he might present the church to himself a glorious [church], not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
Col 1:13 ASV - who delivered us out of the power of darkness, and translated us into the kingdom of the Son of his love;
Jos 3:8 KJV - And thou shalt command the priests that bear the ark of the covenant, saying, When ye are come to the brink of the water of Jordan, ye shall stand still in Jordan.
Jos 3:17 KJV - And the priests that bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD stood firm on dry ground in the midst of Jordan, and all the Israelites passed over on dry ground, until all the people were passed clean over Jordan. They determined themselves to obey God and to stand with God in the water of separation. The moment their toe touched the water it began to separate. 1Jo 5:6 ASV - This is he that came by water and blood, [even] Jesus Christ; not with the water only, but with the water and with the blood. The water cleanses us and the blood redeems us,the water is the word and the blood is the very nature of CHRIST. Act 2:38 ASV - And Peter [said] unto them, Repent ye, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ unto the remission of your sins; and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 2Cr 5:19 ASV - to wit, that God was in Christ reconciling the world unto himself, not reckoning unto them their trespasses, and having committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
2Cr 5:20 ASV - We are ambassadors therefore on behalf of Christ, as though God were entreating by us: we beseech [you] on behalf of Christ, be ye reconciled to God. Reconciled in the greek =Strong's Number: g2644 Greek: katallasso Col 1:21). By reason of this men in their sinful condition and alienation from God are invited to be "reconciled" to Him; that is to say, to change their attitude, and accept the provision God had made, whereby their sins can be remitted and they themselves be justified in His sight in Christ.
Rom 5:10 expresses this in another way: "For if, while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son . . . ;" that we were "enemies" not only expresses man's hostile attitude to God but signifies that until this change of attitude takes place men are under condemnation, exposed to God's wrath. The death of His Son is the means of the removal of this, and thus we "receive the reconciliation," Rom 5:11,
Jhn 1:29 ASV - On the morrow he seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold, the Lamb of God, that taketh away the sin of the world!
Col 2:17 KJV - Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body [is] of Christ.

God bless you all
