Every week I feel as though I am learning stuff from such a different perspective. The Word of God is just pouring out to me and I am so grateful for that. I feel as though I owe the table an apology for Monday, I was distracted with pain and felt that I completely was trying to get through on my own strength. I hope Beth Moore was able to speak God’s word to each of you.
Session Four Recap:
· An inheritance must be possessed or it’s not an inheritance at all
· We cannot possess something without acting on it.
· What would happen if we started taking God up on His promises?
· Every generation is called to inherit their land
· Joshua was not the deliver/the savior. Yahweh was!!1 You can’t save anyone.
· In His wisdom, God requires His Children to exercise the will and action to deliberately take what He graciously gives
· God is developing the muscle in us through going to get it that it’s going to take for us to keep it.
· If we don’t develop the muscle, we won’t know how to hang on to it
· Hold unswervingly to the truth you know about God. Your enemy is going to try and convince you that he’s going to hit you head on. He does not have the authority. (Beth Moore had us think about a car and playing chicken. You are driving straight at the enemy- don’t go left or right, don’t swerve out of the way. Go full speed ahead directly at him and he will be the one to play chicken just before you would have slammed into him) I just love this!!! I think we are always trying to dodge the devil but we should be trying to run him over with God in control of our lives!!
· Sometimes God can speak a promise over us that is for our family line.
· The Lord drove the nations out before the Israelites because of their wickedness.
· Our land of promise is where we stand and walk and serve at full optimum when we’re doing what God has called us to do. It’s something we cannot do on our own volition. It can only be revealed to us when we are operating in the Spirit.
· We are going to be what we meditate on- the result of how we think
· We have been told to make God famous in our land
· We, too, will have to press through our fear to possess the land of promise
· If we are going to be successful in what God has called us to do, it’s going to be becuae we learned how to think
· The Hebrews often meditated out loud “God is our constant source of stability”
· There is more power in the spoken word than in the thought word
· The enemy cannot read what’s in your head, but he is forced to hear what comes out your mouth
· We can set out to serve but our lives must be characterized by a godly pursuit to serve God and man in order to be called a servant of the Lord.Memory Verses for this week:
" Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful." Hebrews 10:23
"The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?" Hebrews 13:6
During your quite time this week meditate and journal on Psalm 16
Read it here in the NLT, but please use your own favorite version.
Keep me safe, O God, for I have come to you for refuge.
I said to the Lord, “You are my Master!
Every good thing I have comes from you.”
The godly people in the land are my true heroes! I take pleasure in them!
Troubles multiply for those who chase after other gods.
I will not take part in their sacrifices of blood or even speak the names of their gods.
Lord, you alone are my inheritance, my cup of blessing. You guard all that is mine.
The land you have given me is a pleasant land. What a wonderful inheritance! will bless the Lord who guides me; even at night my heart instructs me.
I know the Lord is always with me. I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me.
No wonder my heart is glad, and I rejoice. My body rests in safety.
For you will not leave my soul among the dead or allow your holy one to rot in the grave.
You will show me the way of life, granting me the joy of your presence and the pleasures of living with you forever!!
Scriptures to read this week:
1 Chronicles 28:20 Be strong and courageous, and do the work. Don't be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord God, my God, is with you. He will not fail you or forsake you.
Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm for God can be trusted to keep his promises!
Isaiah 33:6 The Lord is my sure foundation, providing a rich store of salvation, wisdom and knowledge. The fear of the Lord will be your treasure.
Genesis 15:6 Believe the Lord, and it will be counted to me as righteous because of my faith.
1 Corinthians 2:9 No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him.
