Confidence In The Word
Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome
them: because greater is he that is in you, than he
that is in the world (1 John 4:4).
In Exodus 23:23, God promised to give the
children of Israel the lands belonging to the
Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Canaanites,
the Hivites, and the Jebusites. The inhabitants of
these lands were giants, armed and trained in war.
They obviously were physically stronger and more
intimidating than the Israelites. Their cities were
fortified. How will Israel take possession of the lands
and make God’s promise a reality? It was going to be
by the Holy Ghost.
God had said to them, “For mine Angel shall go
before thee, and bring thee in unto the Amorites, and
the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites,
the Hivites, and the Jebusites: and I will cut them
off” (Exodus 23:23). Notice He didn’t say His angel
shall bring them into the land, but that He’d bring
them to the enemies: the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites,
Canaanites, Hivites, and Jebusites. He was going to
cause the Israelites to collide with their enemies.
Never be afraid when you have to collide with
opposing forces; they’re bread for you. God always
causes you to collide with them when He wants to
give you what they’ve occupied so long that doesn’t
belong to them. The reason is simple: you’re the seed
of Abraham. The Holy Spirit came to live in us for a
purpose, to make us champions, and to bring us into
our inheritance. Until you know Him, you’ll not walk
in your inheritance! You’d live an ordinary life.
However, when you know the Holy Spirit, you
become an active participant in the divine nature;
you play your part in the divine experience! Nothing
and no one is able to cheat you out of God’s best!
You’re confident in the word! You know, and live in
your divine inheritance. 1 Corinthians 2:12 says, “Now
we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the
spirit which is of God; that we might know the things
that are freely given to us of God.”
The Holy Ghost knows the things that are freely
given to us of God. You don’t have to struggle for them.
He shows you those things; He brings them to your
knowledge, and your understanding, so you can speak
them, because with your mouth, you bring them into
the material world from the realm of the Spirit. Your
affirmation of the Word makes it real in your life.
Prayer
Precious Holy Spirit , I acknowledge your presence in my life.
You’re the Shepherd of my soul; the One who guides me
in the perfect will of God. Thank you for bringing me into
my glorious inheritance in Christ Jesus. By you, I possess and
enjoy my inheritance today and always, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
