Share the post "Affirmation of God: I am taking possession of the land the LORD has given me."
Today’s Scripture: “Pass through the midst of the camp and command the people, ‘Prepare your provisions, for within three days you are to pass over this Jordan to go in to take possession of the land that the LORD your God is giving you to possess.'” Joshua 1:11 ESV
It is time to go. You are prepared to take possession of land the LORD has given you. Be strong and courageous because God has commanded you to go.
Did Joshua, respond with questions of the how to’s? Why do we? I know in my heart the land God has given me and I trust that God is with me every step of the way. My strength and my courage are in God and not in my understanding.
I am prepared to go. Trusting God I am going in with my brothers to take possession. I have gathered what God has provided me and will do what God has commanded. I will only expect God and go.
Do you know in your heart that God is calling you to a land to possess? Prepare yourself to go. Be strong and courageous. He is with you wherever you go.
Today’s Prayer: LORD, I am ready. Equipped with Your Word; filled with Your strength and courage I know it is time. I praise You and trust You to prepare the way. Keep Your Word in me and show me now thine way. I find strength and courage in Your Word and in Your promises. You are my God and I am going where You have commanded me to go. Amen

Trying to figure out where my land is Tom. 🙂
Thanks Bill, is it possible you are slap dab in the middle of it?:) Possess it! GREAT QUESTION…where is the Spirit leading? Love you man, sorry I have been absent but it is school fundraising time and minutes are limited so I appreciate your visits.

Great post we really have to have courage like Joshua and so many others…Trusting God is the key to everything we will do or will not do for God. If you don’t trust than we worry and become stressed all the time and God is not the author of stress…
Amen Desiray! Trusting in God and His power and strength. I pray we know His voice and His Spirit and know exactly where we are to be or go. Trusting His Will and power we go take possession of what He intends for each of us. Blessings to you as you take possession!
This is so powerful and exciting and fires us up for Him, Tom! Thank you and God bless you as you go possess!
Thank you Deb, and His Blessings upon you as you take possession of the land He has intended for you!
Powerful affirmation and prayer, Tom! Heartfelt thanks to you!

I trust You with my life, yea, I am Yours for eternity.
Surely You show the Way, You are perfect in all You do.
I rejoice in the way You lead, I rejoice to walk with You.
You strengthen me with Your Word, You guide day and night;
To walk Your way and do Your will – Lord, this is my delight!

Thank you Caroline! And may He continue to lead, inspire and bless you as well. I am praying now that the light He shows through you touches many and opens the pathways of His desires for them. He is working through you and I pray many purposes are fulfilled! I know I need to spend some time purposely following His pathways and admire your leadership. Sorry with my busy schedule these days I have failed to visit but another season is approaching:) Blessings!
