Numbers 33:53 NASB

"...and you shall take possession of the land and live in it, for I have given the land to you to possess it."


God's possession of the heart is always a clean sweep.  He will have no contenders.  But the most amazing and most appealing thing about God is that though He demands 100%, He never forces us into anything to get it. He always invites, engaging our will and never doing anything in us we can't help.  He refuses to let us enter into any of His land without the decision, determination and demonstration on our part to take full possession, without compromise. This was the challenge God put before Israel, saying, "When you cross over the Jordan into the land of Canaan, then you shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you, and destroy all their figured stones, and destroy all their molten images and demolish all their high places; and you shall take possession of the land and live in it, for I have given the land to you to possess it," (Numbers 33:51-53).  The promises of God are one thing.  Taking possession is another thing.  The promises reveal the God who is for us. Taking possession reveals the man who is for God.  When these two wills come together in holy purpose, all the power of the promises of God for our souls are ours.  God's promises are yours. Don't miss out on the fruit of the land.  Take possession and live in it!
