Three things that cement a man's claim to land: improving the land, building a family, planting and harvesting crops. These things are as much a part of the process of filling and subduing the land as evicting Canaanites.
A man can be exempted from war if he has recently planted a field, but has not yet harvested it for himself. Depending on the crop, this exemption could last as long as five years.
Deuteronomy 20:5-7
God promises victory over enemies and obstacles, but that promise is to the whole people of Israel and victory is predicated on obedience.
#deuteronomy 20:4
Before a battle, the priest is to tell the army four times not to fear. If any man continues to fear after that point, he is in a state of disobedience and anti-faith, and he must be sent home.
Deuteronomy 20:1-4,8

Healing Promise:
“And be not conformed to this world; but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind; that ye may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of YHVH” (Romans 12:2)
Healing Prayer:
My mighty YHVH, I do not want to conform to this world. Therefore, I ask You to transform me, as I endeavour to renew my mind, so that I will be able to prove your good, acceptable and perfect will in my life. Through Your grace my Abba, I will keep my mind stayed on You and I will trust in You. As I do so, I will always experience Your perfect peace in my life. Thank You for Your peace. Always keep me from walking to according to my flesh Abba, for I realize that the weapons of the spiritual warfare are not carnal but they are mighty in You for the pulling down of strongholds. Realizing this, I will cast down all arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against knowing You and I will bring each and every thought into captivity to the obedience of Moshiach. Help me to do this effectively at all times Abba. I want to be always spiritually minded my Adonai and my YHVH, because I know that carnal-mindedness brings death, but spiritual-mindedness gives me life and peace. I want the mind of Moshiach to govern my life and my actions at all times. I choose to set my affection on things above, not of things of the earth. Help me always to think only on things that are true, honest, pure, just, lovely and of good report. Abba, help me to renew my mind by the washing of the water of Your Word. Thank You for giving me the Spirit of a sound mind Abba; a sound mind that is filled with power and love, not fear. Thank You for helping me to conquer my thought life and for helping me in every way. Because of Your help, I will never again be confounded. I have set my face like a flint and I know that I shall never be ashamed. In the wonderful Name of Yeshua I pray, amen.
This week's #torah portion includes Deuteronomy 18: 15-22 which is one of the key prophesies of Yeshua being the Messiah. The largest proof of Yeshua fulfilling this prophesy is the destruction of the second temple.

The judges shall inquire diligently. If the witness is a false witness and has accused his brother falsely, then you shall do to him as he had meant to do to his brother. So you shall purge the evil from your midst.
Deuteronomy 19:18-19
A false witness is worse than a murderer because he makes all the people guilty. If you're only getting one side of a story that makes someone sound pretty bad, you have a few options...

If someone in the Land kills another accidentally or through negligence, he can flee to one of the cities of refuge until the matter is sorted out or the High Priest dies. If he doesn't run to a city of refuge, then the victim's avenger can assume it wasn't an accident. (Even then, the avenger can't just kill him. There has to be a trial.)
Deuteronomy 19:1-6
In the accidental death in Deut 16:5, there are no witnesses and no evidence to counter the killer's story. Even if it was a deliberate homicide, he couldn't be convicted or punished. Consider how this effects the story of Cain and Abel.
