WHEN THE SAINTS GO MARCHING IN #1: CROSSING OVER WITH COURAGE & CONFIDENCE with Rabbi Brian Bileci

In this powerful kickoff to our new five-week series “When the Saints Go Marching In,” Rabbi Brian unpacks the moment the Israelites crossed the Jordan River—marking the end of one season and the beginning of a new one filled with God’s promises, in a message called, "CROSSING OVER WITH COURAGE & CONFIDENCE." But crossing over requires more than just excitement—it demands courage, obedience, and unwavering trust in God’s plan.

Whether you’re entering a new chapter in your life, stepping into leadership, or ready to break free from the past, this episode will give you the biblical courage to move forward. Just like the Israelites, many of us are standing on the edge of something new—but stepping forward takes faith. Discover how God prepares His people for breakthrough, and how you can move from wilderness wandering into purpose-filled living.

Key Takeaways:

•Step Forward with Courage: God’s promises are on the other side of your obedience. The Jordan won’t part until you step in. Be bold enough to take a step toward your destiny.

•Sanctify Yourself: Every crossing begins with consecration. Set yourself apart for God’s purposes. Set yourself apart and prepare for God’s wonders.

•Trust God’s Strategy: His instructions may not always make sense—but His presence will never fail. Trust that God goes before you—even in unfamiliar waters.

•Prepare for Battle: Every new season comes with new enemies. Be ready in spirit, grounded in His Word. Don’t just cross into a new season—be ready to fight for it.

•Declare Your Destiny: Speak life over your season—victory belongs to those who march forward in faith. Total victory begins with total obedience.

Declaration for the Week:

“I will CROSS OVER with COURAGE and CONFIDENCE! I will not stay in the wilderness. I face every BATTLE with FAITH! I will TRUST God’s PROMISES and STEP into my DESTINY! TOTAL VICTORY is mine, in Jesus’ name!”
