Crossing over the Jordan River into the Promised Land looked like an impossible situation because the river was at flood stage because it was "harvest time". The Bible tells us that the banks of the Jordan always flooded at harvest time.
God told the priests who were carrying the Ark of The Covenant (which represented the presence of God) to go before the people into the Jordan. As the people followed the priests carrying the Ark the waters parted and God's people walked over on dry ground into the Promised Land. Joshua 3
That is the way it is in our lives today. Many times when God is ready to do something wonderful in our lives or fulfill a promise we have been standing on, the enemy comes in like a flood.
God said, "When the enemy comes in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him." Isaiah 59:19
That standard is "His Word". Keep your eyes focused on God and His Word, His promise that He wants to fulfill in your life. "My Word that goes forth from My mouth, shall not return to Me void, but it shall accomplish what I please and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it." Isaiah 55:11
