God's Word is true. Do you have what it takes to possess your Promised Land?

The children of Israel were tried, proved, and taken into the wilderness. This time in their lives was not permanent, but most of them had the mindset that it was. This caused them to prolong their time in the wilderness and delay their promise.

The Lord never intended for their transitional period to become their home for 40 years.

How many of us get stuck in transitions?

We must understand that our promised land includes all of the promises that we are seeking from God but have yet to possess.

Possessing our promises requires diligence, obedience and war. Joshua led the children of Israel in many battles.

But we also see the children of Israel losing battles where there was disobedience towards God.

There is a purpose in the battle.

So many times we want to possess financial freedom, healing, strength, joy, peace, and all the other promises given to us through Jesus Christ; but these promises come with a battle.

We battle our former nature before Christ; the devil that wants to take us back out of The Kingdom of Light and into darkness; and opposition that he sends through people: family, friends, coworkers, etc.

The battle is real.

But The battle is rigged. God has already given as victory. However, there are character traits we must develop which are best developed in conflict.

Just like a diamond is perfected under pressure.

The Lord knows our hearts better than we do. Some of us would not make it into the kingdom if we possessed our promises instantly.

But if we continue to stand on God's word, praise him even when we don't feel like it, and pour out to others (dying to ourselves), we transform.

We become conformed to the image of Christ through suffering, affliction, and brokenness.

Do not be discouraged. You have the victory. Keep standing on God's word and you will surely possess all the promises that God has promised you.

Like Joshua, believe God and do not faint at the giants which try to keep you from your promise. Giants do die!

You can do all things through Christ which strengthens you.

Be blessed!

The Names Of God in The Old Testament

God as we know Him has always been and always will be. He has no beginning and no end. His wisdom is shown throughout the cosmos and our home, planet Earth. When Moses was called by God to go deliver the children of Israel, he asked God who should He say sent him? God replied, "I AM." He further explained that He was " I AM that I AM." Seems kind of weird for a name, right? After the Israelites were delivered, they wandered in the wilderness for 40 years. During this time, I AM revealed who He was by what He did. God revealed who He was by what He did. If you feel lost, confused, or struggle with unbelief, please use this as a reference. Call on The Lord and watch Him show up. He knows your heart, so you don't have to be fancy with your words or know what to say - simply call out to I AM and watch Him become what you need! Keep pressing. Your labor is not in vain.

The Real Meaning of The Rainbow is in The Bible

After the monumental decision by the Supreme Court to allow same-sex couples to marry, I knew it was yet another inch closer to the days Jesus spoke of in Matthew 24, and His imminent return. Let me first say that this post will not attempt to sway you in your views about the Supreme Courts ruling. It would be a waste of time as those who belong to God know and understand the sanctity of marriage and how it originated already. I want to discuss the rainbow and its true meaning. The rainbow is one of those wonders that God created in the Earth that not only reminds us of Him, but also reminds Him of us. The true meaning of the rainbow comes from the Bible. Genesis 9:13 says: I set My bow [rainbow] in the cloud, and it shall be a token or sign of a covenant or solemn pledge between Me and the earth. (Amplified version)

Who is the LORD? Yahweh. I AM. Jehovah.

May our eyes see, our ears hear and our hearts receive the Word of the LORD. We must return to Our Creator before His Son Jesus Christ returns. The time is shorter than when we first heard of His return more than 2 millennia ago. He does not want any person to perish or be eternally separated from Him, but all who ignore His call to return and all who mock Him will surely see that His Word cannot lie! He will be a refuge to those who choose Him, and a terror to those who reject His salvation. He is a firm foundation for those who trust in Him, but a rock of offense to those who refuse. As nations have come and gone, so will all of us in the earth, but our souls will live on forever. How we respond to His call will determine if we are eternally with Him, or eternally separated. Come to the LORD while there is still time. Since He created time, we cannot control it, so make your salvation sure today! Creator. GOD. King of kings. LORD of lords. For by Him all things...
