Joshua's Spiritual Recovery at Ai (Overcoming the Empirical Lie)

Joshua faced a powerful enemy at Ai.  He faced the arrogance of the flesh.  The flesh is the enemy of every believer.  The flesh blinds the believer to divine viewpoint, and he or she comes to believe the empirical lie.  The empirical lie is the belief that the flesh sees all, and comprehends all things.  The empirical lie is radically opposed to the Word of God.  God wants the believer to know that he can only do all things through the One who is constantly infusing us with resurrection power.
