NUMBERS 33:53 NKJ 53 'you shall dispossess the inhabitants of the land and dwell in it, for I have given you the land to possess.
JOSHUA 1:3 NKJ 3 "Every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon I have given you, as I said to Moses.
In Old Testament times the people of God received promises to possess the physical land. They faced literal giants keeping them from possessing what God said was theirs.
Today we face a similar challenge: overcome the obstacles and possess the promised blessings given in the New Testament.
How can we possess and enjoy these promised blessings?
Faith!
HEBREWS 6:12 NKJ 12 that you do not become sluggish, but imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
What belongs to us? What has God said is ours to "possess"?
"All things!"
2 PETER 1:3 NKJ 3 as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue,
ROMANS 8:32 NKJ 32 He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?
1 CORINTHIANS 3:21 NKJ 21 Therefore let no one glory in men. For all things are yours:
As New Testament believers our "giants" are demons and unbelief. Every promise of blessing is ours to claim and possess by faith.
SAY THIS: I will possess my "land" in Jesus' Name!

But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me.
While other preachers in Paul's day were parading and bragging about their credentials, Paul refused to get into such self-centered contests to prove he was the most impressive of Jesus' disciples. Even though he had the religious education and Jewish pedigree to silence his rivals, he preferred to acknowledge the areas of his weakness where God triumphed over his limitations. God had taught Paul that heaven's power was most on display in Paul's weakness, like Jesus' power over the evil one, which he demonstrated through the cross — the ultimate sign of weakness (Colossians 2:12-15). God demonstrated his power through what Paul did in his weakness so the glory could go to God! Let's be careful about determining someone's ministryworthiness based on his or her resume or reputation. Instead, let's honor people in whom God's grace has triumphed through their weakness!
Almighty and loving Father, thank you for sustaining and enabling me to serve you in ways I would never have dreamed of doing. Please help me serve you faithfully as I depend upon your grace in my weakness. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
All scripture quotations, unless otherwise indicated, are taken from the HOLY BIBLE, NEW INTERNATIONAL VERSION. © 1973, 1978, 1984, 2011 by International Bible Society. Used by permission of Zondervan Publishing House.Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God's wrath through him! For if, when we were God's enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life!
Jesus did more than die for our sins; he lives as our resurrected LORD. So, since God emptied heaven of the Son, had him die on the cross for our sins, and then raised him from the dead to save us, imagine what God has in store for us now that he has saved us! We have only seen the beginnings of God's love for us, and even though what we have seen is amazing, God will do more than we can ask or imagine for us through the power and presence of our resurrected LORD and Savior, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit that he gives us (Ephesians 3:20-21).
Holy LORD, we look forward to the day we get to see you and experience your grace in all its glory when we meet Jesus in that glory.* Please inspire us to be courageous and confident when facing challenges in the future. We want to live faithfully and victoriously before others, knowing Jesus is alive forever for us. Father, we believe that the best of what Jesus wants to do in us and through us lies ahead, so use us to your glory. In Jesus' name, we know we are forgiven as we pray confidently and anticipate our future glory with him. Amen.
But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Interestingly, the Bible doesn't ever just say that God loves us. Instead, it says:
"God demonstrates his own love for us in this..." (Romans 5:8).
"This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son..." (1 John 4:10).
"For God so loved the world that he gave..." (John 3:16).
Father, thank you for loving us. We love you for what you've done. We love you for who you are. We love you for your promises. We love you for your faithfulness. Most of all, dear Father, we love you because of Jesus, who showed us how much you love us. Please empower us to show our love by serving and giving to others as Jesus did for us. In his name, we pray. Amen.
