CONFESSION OF GOD'S WORD BRINGS POSSESSION !

CONFESSION OF GOD'S WORD BRINGS POSSESSION ! : God told Israel He had given them the land, but they were to go in and possess it. The land belonged to them, yet they didn't possess it for 40 years because they believed more in circumstances than in God's Word. Even now there are many believers that believe in the circumstances than they would believe the Word of God. So we see that they could not enter and because of unbelief (Hebrews 13: 19). You and I cannot enter in God's promises because of unbelief. The word unbelief here initially means "disobedience." God said to possess it, but they said, "We are not able." So they did not obey God and they did not possess the land until all who doubted God had died. Out of the 12 spies, Joshua and Caleb were the only two who went in to possess the land. These two held fast to their confession of faith: "We are well able to take the land." For 40 years, they held fast to that one confession and they got what they said. Some of you have been holding onto your confession and are receiving the things that you said ! Let us therefore hold fast to our confession of faith which is the Word of God that we may possess those things that God says our hours. The promise land is not a type of heaven, and some believe, but a type of victorious living on the earth. We are well able to enter in through the confession of faith which is the Word of God; and live victorious over the world over the devil and over flesh which is self. It may be a fact that you are hurting or that you are sick and going back and forth to the doctors. But, our contract says, "That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying Himself took our infirmities, and bere our sicknesses." (Matthew number 8:17). In Isaiah 53:4). "Surely he hath bore our griefs, (sicknesses), weaknesses, and diseases and carried our sorrows and pains [of punishment]. Yet we [ignorantly] considered Him stricken, smitten, and afflicted by God [as if with leprosy. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our guilt and iniquities; the chastisement [needful to obtain] peace and well-being for us was upon Him, and with the stripes [that wounded Him we are healed and made whole."
