Taking Territory

As we enter this Summer season and this pending season of judgment, we as believers need to be excited about what the Lord is prepared to do on behalf of His people. Not only is God ready to deliver many of us from the bondage of Egypt, but for many of us He's ready to bring us into the Promised Land. Believe me when I tell you, this is Good News! 

There are more than a few saints that have grown weary of their "wilderness wanderings." Even though the wilderness is the setting where God teaches many of His Kingdom lessons, it's still a hard terrain to cover. But be not discouraged saints, God is ready to cross us over the Jordan and take us into the Promised Land! The promises and blessings and miracles that God has declared unto you, you need to be actively preparing your heart to receive. Glory to God!!!

As God prepares to release His Miracle Blessings upon His people, what we want to be mindful of is the expectation that God has of us once He opens the Jordan and miraculously takes us into the Promised Land. God doesn't expect us to rest on our laurels. He doesn't expect us to "chill". He's bringing us into the Promised Land to Take Territory. When you read the account of Israel's transition from the Wilderness to the Promised Land, you see that one of the first things God had them to do was fight. That's what the Battle of Jericho was all about and the walls coming down (Joshua 6). Let us understand on the front end saints, when God brings us into that place for which our hearts have desired for years, it will not be a time to become complacent, it will be a time to go to War.

In terms of Taking Territory, the Territory we will be taking will be for the Kingdom of God. The Father's desire has always been to establish His Kingdom on earth as it is in Heaven (Matthew 6). Now that His King is in place (Matthew 28), all that has to be done now is for His Army to be equipped and prepared to go into battle. Our job as the Body of Christ will be to fight and Take Territory for the Kingdom of God that has been usurped and stolen by Satan and the kingdom of darkness. God will do the fighting, but in terms of the operation of the earth realm, God has ordained that the fighting be done through the vessels for which He's given oversight of the earth.

God is ready to re-establish the understanding amongst humanity that HE IS GOD, and beside Him there is no other (Isaiah 44). Every area that the Devil has taken to promote his satanic agenda, God is ready to do a Takeover. The corporate community, the financial community, the economic system, the political system, the educational system, the criminal justice system, the entertainment industry, the sports industry; God is ready to takeover all of these areas for the Advancement of His Kingdom.

Are you ready to go to war? There's always the threat of casualties when the soldiers go into battle. There will be serious spiritual, demonic and satanic warfare (Ephesians 6). That's why God told Joshua to "be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid" (Joshua 1). I pray that all of us will be prepared when the trumpet sounds and the alarm is given, to be used by God for the purpose of Taking Territory in His Name.
