Deuteronomy 9:1 ERV “Listen, you Israelites! You will go across the Jordan River today. You will go into that land to force out nations greater and stronger than you. Their cities are big and have walls as high as the sky!"

RECEIVING GOD'S PROMISES

God's promises are yea and amen. If God said it, His word will not return to Him void. But that God has made a promise to you doesn't mean it will happen automatically, you've got to take it by the force of faith! Why take it by force? Because there are forces that don't want you to have them, because the just shall live by faith and because without faith it is impossible to please God.

But if God has said it, and you agree with Him enough to take possession of it, He will give you sufficient grace and aid you to get it. Moses said to the Israelites, "The people there are tall and strong. They are the Anakites. You know about them. You heard our spies say, ‘No one can win against the Anakites.’ But you can be sure that it is the Lord your God who goes across the river before you—and God is like a fire that destroys! He will destroy those nations and make them fall before you. You will force those nations out and quickly destroy them. The Lord has promised you that this will happen." Hallelujah!

Here's a secret to receiving the promises of God. Isaiah 62:6-7 says, "Jerusalem, I put guards on your walls. They will not be silent. They will keep praying day and night. Guards, keep praying to the Lord. Remind him of his promise. Don’t ever stop praying. Don’t give him any rest until he rebuilds Jerusalem and makes it a place that everyone on earth will praise." Don’t ever stop asking for it, don't ever stop seeking, and don't stop knocking! Bang on the door! Scream if you can! Pray as if it's only your prayer that has to be heard! Take it by force! If a blind man named Bartimaeus could receive the promise you too can. Yes!
