For the Lord your God is bringing you into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and springs, that flow out of valleys and hills; Deuteronomy 8:7

The Lord used the Israelites who lived as slaves in Egypt to teach and to show us what He would do in favor of humanity.  Accordingly, he sent Jesus to die on the cross, in order to save us from the kingdom of darkness and lies.  Looking to the promises made to the descendants of Jacob, our brothers, we see how good it is to live divine will.  In it we can enjoy the great things that were prepared for us.  We don’t live in between, but we live in the Kingdom of the Most High.

 

The people of God saved by the blood of Christ and anointed by the Holy Spirit, lose much for various reasons.  One is due to the lack of understanding of who they are in Christ and what can be done.  It is impossible to understand certain doctrines who say we will only reign in the hereafter.  What to think of the declarations made in our favor   like the one that Jesus made us kings and priests of God (Revelation 1:6; 5:10)?  We have to recycle our faith, don’t we?

Moses said to the children of Jacob that the Lord was leading them into a good land.  Now this land symbolizes the Gospel, the true Land of the Promise.  The great tragedy of the descendants of Abraham was to not understand that Jehovah, the true God, who had made an alliance with the patriarch, came personally to bring salvation to all men.  In this way they lost the best opportunity given by God.  My sincere prayer is that they wake up!

In this land, we do not have to receive divine revelation in drops and tiny doses, but yes in great quantities, for in it are brooks and fountains of water which come out from the valleys and hills.  It is of no matter if life is difficult for you, and always everything seems to be all uphill, because in these places that you grow tired and weary there are rivers, creeks and fountains of water to refresh and renew you.  Make use of them!

It was the Lord who placed us here; therefore we cannot live as if we were in a dessert. The best places are in the Land of the Promise.  Wake up!  You will never find anything better than it.  After all, the heavenly Father placed you in it to eat of the good and the best; just believe.  Shout with all your forces, that you will not be confounded for you are already in the best of God.

The devil cannot pull you away from the Gospel, because he is always denied access to it.  Live as if evil did not exist, but be vigilant and pray.  Acting this way, your attitudes and deeds will not return you to the enemy’s domain.  Now, if this did happen, believe in the Lord, confess your sins and correct yourself with those who you harmed.  Nothing must remove you from this wonderful land, blessed and prepared for you by the perfect and omniscient God.

As you receive and embrace Jesus in your life, you were placed in the Land of Liberty, with the delights of the Almighty.  Therefore, live in it with all your heart, all your soul, and all your might. As you enjoy of the best, you will glorify the eternal Father.  Today is the day to start to truly live a new life.Amen?

In Christ, with Love,
