When The Promise Tarries Part 3

We are continuing with the discussion of the process. As I said before, the process can be a painful one at times however the end result is always well worth it as the Lord does His work in us.

We also need to remember that we must contend for what God has promised. Don't let the enemy come in and steal your dreams, aspirations and vision. Just as Joseph in the Old Testament had to contend through great difficulty and trial for what God had promised him, so must we. We are in the time and season when the enemy is making every attempt to delay and thwart the fulfillment of God's promises. At this time prayer and warfare are a must to press for the break throughs to break out of where we've been and to break into the manifestation of His promises.

No longer can we just sit back and wait . . . this is the hour we must rise up in the enemy's face without fear and rightfully take what is ours (Matthew 11:12). As Israel had to drive out the inhabitants of Canaan when they went to posses the land, we must drive out the squatters that have been illegally inhabiting the ground that's destined for us. How is this done? Through prayer, prophecy and even fasting maybe, if that is what's required.

Remember what you've been promised, and if the enemy has been stealing from you and causing delay, then rise up in a holy indignation (yes, with an attitude), and take possession.
