Possessing the Promise “Then Joshua asked them, “How long are you going to wait before taking possession of the remaining land the Lord, the God of your ancestors, has given to you?” ‭‭Joshua‬ ‭18:3‬ ‭NLT‬‬ This scripture hit me when i read it, here’s why... How long are you going to wait until you take possession of whats already yours? Different translations use these words instead of wait : •Slack - characterized by a lack of work or activity; quiet. (KJV translation) •Sit around on your hands. (MSG translation) •Neglect - failure to take proper care in doing something. (NKJV translation) When are we going to take hold of God’s promises to us Healing (Exodus 15:26) Hope ( Jeremiah 29:11) Peace ( John 14:27) Etc. Or maybe there’s some personal things that God has showed you that you have yet to take hold of like A better job, maybe a new position A calling over your life Most of us disqualify ourselves because we don't believe these things to be for us . BUT if your reading this right now, YES YOU! I’m here to tell you, it is for you!!! That thing that God spoke over you it is yours & NO ONE can take it from you! •It’s as easy as 123! 1 . PREPARE FOR IT 2. DECLARE IT 3. WALK IN IT One thing we don't want to do is let fear rob/ distract us of getting to our Promise Land. “As Pharaoh approached, the people of Israel looked up and panicked when they saw the Egyptians overtaking them. They cried out to the Lord, and they said to Moses, “Why did you bring us out here to die in the wilderness? Weren’t there enough graves for us in Egypt? What have you done to us? Why did you make us leave Egypt?” ‭‭Exodus‬ ‭14:10-11‬ ‭NLT‬‬ -As we read above when the Egyptians caught up to the Israelites all of a sudden God’s promise went out the window. *SELF CHECK- is that what you look/act like when things don't go your way? When the enemy brings up the past ? • Identify what needs to be possessed - know what God has given you, stand on that •Receive it in faith - if God already spoke it, it’s MINE ! My Prayer for you : God i ask that you would help whoever is reading this to be mindful of all the things you have for them, that they have yet to grab hold of. I bind any and every work of the enemy that would try to hinder them from receiving your promise! Teach them to speak in an attitude of possession for whats already theirs, In Jesus name AMEN !
