The Lord is saying: Keep
walking, Things may look mundane but there are things happening
in the heavenlies that will affect your future. Keep connected
and you will be in the forever NOW where the blessings are flowing
constantly like a stream of living water. Not only will you
be blessed but you will be a blessing to others, a conduit to
irrigate the dry and barren land you see around you. Keep moving,
do not become stagnant.

The
Lord is saying: You are coming into another level of my
glory. You are claiming another aspect of your inheritance.
As always there are the giants to contend with. But they are
bread to you. Treat them as the bread that they are..... and
thank me that I have already overcome. All I ask is that you
rejoice in my provision. Rejoice that the battle is already
won and go victoriously celebrating with your flags flying into
the inheritance I have won for you. Go through this life with
a shout of joy, rejoicing always..
They (Joshua and Caleb) said, Neither
fear ye the people of the land; for they are bread for us: their
defence is departed from them (they are defenceless), and the
LORD is with us: fear them not (Num 14:9).
Entering in to the Rest of God
Therefore, since the promise
of entering his rest still stands, let us be careful that none
of you be found to have fallen short of it. For we also have
had the gospel preached to us, just as they did; but the message
they heard was of no value to them, because those who heard
did not combine it with faith........There remains, then, a
Sabbath-rest for the people of God; for
anyone who enters God's rest also rests from his own work, just
as God did from His.
Hebrews 4. 1,2,9,10
When God sent the twelve into the promised land to spy it out,
He already knew about the giants. He already knew that the people
dwelling there, lived in walled cities and that the walls were
so thick and strong it was nigh on impossible for them to come
down. but He also knew that those walls of Jericho would be
come tumbling down at His command. It was written before the
beginning of time….To God it was
a finished work
All Israel needed to do was walk
in to the promised land and act out the strategy God had instructed.
God would do the rest! But most of them didn't believe. If they
had believed they would have said the right words.…and
pleased God and entered the promised land.
You see if we don't believe,
we will not walk, we will not act and we will not say
what God longs to hear… "Father I believe your
big enough, Father I believe you love me enough, Father I believe
Jesus died and took my sin and now I am the righteousness of
God. Father Its already done, I am no longer trying to earn
your favour, but I am walking in it, rejoicing for what Jesus
did on the cross for me. Father I know you have a wonderful
inheritance for me. What's my next step
Father?"
We having
the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed,
and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore
speak;. 2 Corinthians 4:13
Its what you say that is so important
to God. He wanted to know what the twelve men were going to
say. And then He gave them what they said. Only Joshua and Caleb
and all the children under twenty entered in to the promise
land.
Say unto them,
As truly as I live, saith the LORD, as ye have spoken in mine
ears, so will I do to you: Numbers 14:28
God is listening for our opinion!!!
Our future is
already written….
Our destiny is in the book
Every trial we will have to face, every enemy is defeated.
Will we agree
with God!!!
If we do... we will walk into
the wonderful future God has planned for us, planned before
the beginning of time, into the finished
work.
For he that
enters into His rest, he also has ceased from his own works,
as God did from His.
Hebrews 4. 10.
When you walk into the finished
work, what is there to add… Just obedience..God's strategy......It
doesn't mean that we will be laid back having grapes dropped
in our mouths. We will walk in the works prepared for us to
walk in.
For we are
His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which
God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. Ephesians
2:10
Israel had to march round Jericho
seven times before the walls fell. But they didn't make it fall,
in their own power... it was impossible. When we walk in the
finished work…we obey God's strategy
and then watch God work
When the Lord was teaching me about walking in the finished
work, He showed me there was no sickness in that work, but complete
wholeness, in every area of my life. I asked Him "How can
I explain the finished work to the people?" This is what
He said.
If you try to
get what you have already got, you will miss what you already
have.
When we are busy begging God
for healing, wealth, victory over sin, etc etc we are using
up our energies trying to get something we've already got. We
are looking in the wrong place. We have to come from the right
position. We already have it. We are already victorious because
Jesus has already won everything for us....We are not the sick
trying to get healed... we are the
healed the enemy is trying to get
sick. We are not the poor trying to get rich,
we are the rich the enemy
tries to make poor. we are not the unrighteous trying to get
righteous, we are the righteous
the enemy tries to get to walk in the flesh. We are not trying
to get victory we already have the
victory. What we need to do is stand on what we have
and not take one foot off the territory
we have been given to guard.
The word that
has been given us by revelation is the ground that we are to
stand on and not let the enemy take an inch of it.
Behold,
I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man
take thy crown.Revelations 3:11
