Jesus Is The Promise Land (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798215247822)

Jesus is the promised land. Everything that we need and want can come from Jesus. This is what 2 Corinthians 1:20 says: However many promises God has made, in Christ the answer is always Yes. Through him we respond, saying Yes to the glory of God. You see here that God is saying, everything that I have declared, everything that I have promised, everything that Jesus has fulfilled by His sacrifice is yes, and Amen. There are no "no's". There are no maybe's. Yes, we will have to wait but it shall surely come to pass. We have to know these promises. We have to believe these promises. We have to declare these promises. This is our part. If we don't do our part, then God can't do His part. God wants to do His part and we want Him to do His part. For God to do His part which is receiving His grace; we must "believe ". We have a tendency to take "faith " too lightly. We say that we believe but most of the time it is very general and passive faith. When we actually say what the specific premise is, then we are being specific. Knowing, believing, and declaring the promise will give you Revelation. Revelation is needed for you to believe. It lets you see with your spiritual eyes. You begin to picture it in your spirit. This helps you to believe. Rom 10:17. So faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. We are also told of the importance of abiding in Jesus: Hew 12:2. looking to Jesus, the author, and perfecter of faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising its shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Our continual fellowship and abiding in Jesus will help us be courageous and believing, and thereby be able to enter the Promise Land.
