Receive by Faith!
Text.."...I have given you...Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon and his land. Begin to possess it and contend with him in battle.." Duet.2:24.
Beloved, your redemption comes with a complete package of everything you will ever need for success and distinction in life. All you need to do is,t receive it by faith!
Notice, in the verse of scripture above, God did not say.."contend with the king of Heshbon; when you defeat him in battle,then I will give you his land..". God said "I have given"! Even before Isreal had to lift a finger, victory was guaranteed. In other words,as far as God was concerned, Sihon and his army were a defeated foe,and his land was the property of Israel.
The duty of the Israelites was now, to believe God's word and go into physical battle with confidence knowing they had won! Israel was not to consider the size or weaponry of Sihon's army; they were to be mindful of God's promise and possess their victory. They simply had to step out in the natural and the supernatural will take over.
Same way for us today; in Christ, God has "given" us the Blessing, prosperity, healing, deliverance, promotion, unlimited capacity for success, preferential treatment, wholeness, divine supply, favor, supernatural protection,etc. These and so much more is ours now in the new covenant. Our responsibility now is to believe God's word and receive what is ours by faith.
Unlike Isreal, our battle is not physical, it's a fight of faith. Our fight is simply to get our "thinking" and our "speaking" to line up with God's word, then we can possess every dimension of our inheritance.
Child of God, believe and receive your victories by faith. In God's mind, you are a winner! Begin to live like one in Jesus name.
