There comes a time to enter into the promises of God. Embrace the God of the promise and walk into victory.
ENOUGH Turn And Take Your Journey
Deuteronomy 1:6 "The LORD our God spoke to us in Horeb, saying: 'You have dwelt long enough at this mountain. 7 'Turn and take your journey,
Deuteronomy 2:3 'You have skirted this mountain long enough; turn northward.
There is a generation who will rise up in victory and walk in the promises of God! Brothers and sisters we are that generation. Israel had marched around the mountain long enough and God declared “enough”. God had spoken the promise; the children of Israel were so familiar with the promise. The promise became so familiar it had become the mundane. It is hard to exercise faith for the mundane! The mundane became the complaint in the mouth of the children of Israel . They spent the next forty years wondering the wilderness skirting the mountains of Hebron . It took forty years to get past the generation of complainers and raise up a generation who would embrace the promises. God declared ENOUGH! Turn and take your journey into healing, provision, and blessings! This is the generation who can rise and shine for the glory of the Lord is risen!!
God has been speaking His promise to you, receive it as the Spirit of truth! The children begin to possess the land. Are you tired of skirting the mountain of despair, sickness, lack, and unfulfilled promises? Enough then, turn and take your journey into victory, turn and take your journey into abundant life, turn take your journey into healing, turn and take your journey into prosperity, and turn and take your journey into household salvation. Walk in the fullness of righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.
Jeremiah 9:23 Thus says the LORD: "Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, Let not the mighty man glory in his might, Nor let the rich man glory in his riches; 24 But let him who glories glory in this, That he understands and knows Me, That I am the LORD, exercising lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness in the earth. For in these I delight," says the LORD.
When the object of your faith and your desire is in a relationship with the living God your motives will be right. Glory comes from knowing God. When you come to know your God as “faithful God” it changes everything. When you come to know your God as the One who can not lie, it changes everything. When you come to exalt the immutability of God’s word above all else, it changes every thing. Glory in knowing your God!
Psalms 95:8 "Do not harden your hearts, as in the rebellion, As in the day of trial in the wilderness, 9 When your fathers tested Me; They tried Me, though they saw My work. 10 For forty years I was grieved with that generation, And said, 'It is a people who go astray in their hearts, And they do not know My ways.' 11 So I swore in My wrath, 'They shall not enter My rest.'"
There was the generation that never entered the promise land. They heard the promises of God, they knew and could recite the promises of God. However they did not know the ways of God Himself. They clung to the promise but not the Promise Maker. Their hearts were not hungry for sweet relationship with God. We beloved, are not of that generation; we are the generation who hungers for intimacy with our Father. We will arise and take our journey to victory because we believe in faithful God.
Psalms 103:7 He made known His ways to Moses, His acts to the children of Israel . 8 The LORD is merciful and gracious, Slow to anger, and abounding in mercy.
The children of Israel knew well the acts of God; however they did not know His ways. Moses did, the children of Israel did not. The difference between Moses and the children of Israel is Moses knew the voice of God and Israel had rejected and requested not to hear His voice.
John 1:18 No one has seen God at any time. The only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him.
Beloved we are a heart beat away from knowing the abundant life found in God. Jesus Himself is in the bosom of the Father; if we will hear His voice we will know the heart beat of God. Jesus always leads us into triumph!
John 6:63 "It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life.
Giving ear to Jesus is proof of the connection Spirit to spirit. Jesus said “My sheep know my voice and another they will not follow.”
John 3:1 There was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. 2 This man came to Jesus by night and said to Him, "Rabbi, we know that You are a teacher come from God; for no one can do these signs that You do unless God is with him." 3 Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." 4 Nicodemus said to Him, "How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb and be born?" 5 Jesus answered, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God . 6 "That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 "Do not marvel that I said to you, 'You must be born again.' 8 "The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit."
We must be born of the water and the Spirit. That which is flesh is flesh, that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. We have a natural birth or one might say born of the water of the womb if you will. That which is Spirit is spirit! You can’t see the wind you only see the signs that the wind is here and so is it with one who is born of the Spirit. We can not live after the flesh and walk in victory. It is the Spirit to spirit connection; we live the life of victory because we have become a new creation in Christ Jesus.
1 Corinthians 15:45 And so it is written, "The first man Adam became a living being." The last Adam became a life-giving spirit. 46 However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural, and afterward the spiritual. 47 The first man was of the earth, made of dust; the second Man is the Lord from heaven. 48 As was the man of dust, so also are those who are made of dust; and as is the heavenly Man, so also are those who are heavenly.
If we ever are going to walk in the fullness of the promises of God it is living as the heavenly man! The flesh is flesh and the Spirit is spirit. Paul instructed us to put off the old man, be made new in the spirit of our mind, and put on the new man. Some believers have never entered the promise land because they have not put off the old man. They have spent their energy trying to revive, rebuild, recondition the old man. It will never work it is a carnal work and will never bring victory. Put off the old and put on the new man which is created in true righteousness and holiness. Enough of wondering here and fro; walk as the heavenly man. Quit behaving like a mere man; walk in the truth Christ in you the hope of glory.
2 Corinthians 5:16 Therefore, from now on, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him thus no longer. 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.
Beginning to know things after the new creation brings victory. It gives you vision to know that a cloud no bigger than the size of a man hand is the sign of abundance of rain. Intimacy with God gives you vision for the desires of God; it does not give credence to the surrounding circumstances. When you rise up as the new man you consider the greatness of your God. It was when Sarah counted God as faithful, she received strength in her body to conceive even past child bearing years. Count your God is faithful in the middle of the storm and you will have the strength to give birth to the desires of God in your life. Quit viewing it according to the flesh; view it with God’s mercy and faithfulness anchoring your soul to the promises He has spoken. God made an oath His promises are true. Put the word of God in your mouth and exalt it over your circumstance until every thought has been brought under the subjection to the obedience of Jesus Christ.
Matthew 7:24 "Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: 25 "and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock. 26 "But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand: 27 "and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall."
Do not be a fool, live by the words that Jesus has spoken. Those who come to Jesus will in no wise be cast out. Be a partaker of the promises and provision of God by standing on the solid rock of Christ Jesus. Take your journey of faith; receive your promise!
