Joshua 7:10-12 Hindered by Sin

 10But the LORD said to Joshua, “Stand up! Why have you fallen on your face? 11Israel has sinned; they have transgressed My covenant that I commanded them, and they have taken some of what was devoted to destruction. Indeed, they have stolen and lied, and they have put these things with their own possessions. 12This is why the Israelites cannot stand against their enemies. They will turn their backs and run from their enemies, because they themselves have been set apart for destruction. I will no longer be with you unless you remove from among you whatever is devoted to destruction.

“Israel could not fight in God’s power and presence unless they walked in obedience to God. Israel was under a covenant with God that promised blessing on their obedience, and also promised curses upon their disobedience.” (Guzik)

1Jo 1:6 NKJV - 6 If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.

“Our position before God is secure in Jesus, but our fellowship with Him is hindered by our sin. This fellowship with God is our wellspring of power to live in the Spirit.” (Guzik)

I know my fellowship with God is hindered at times because of sin. Unfortunately we will have a sin nature until we leave this world. 

1 John 1:8 If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

BUT…..

Is your fellowship with God ever hindered?
