God regulates everything. God said, “I have sent this generation of people out to warn you. The KOG is near-- repent!” For those of us who listened, obeyed and followed God wholeheartedly, God will make us whole as He instructs us with a gentle whisper, to go in and take possession of the land he promised us. But first, we have to break camp and leave the mountain that we camped out at long enough, and advance into the hill country of trials and tribulations and go through the vast and dry desert—which is God’s training ground. God said that He will watch over us on this journey of training and refining in the desert and we will not lack anything, because He will be with us always. We have to continue to believe God and stay steadfast in Him, because this faith will bring on supernatural from God. If we try to sidestep God’s instructions to go through the desert, He will make sure that we go back and get the right training, because God’s ways are higher than our ways. If we get into the flow of the journey, things begin to change, and God will send things our way.
When we hear God, we must do what He says—He says go in and possess the land—find something to possess and do it!! When we catch God’s gentle whisper to place our foot down and step into a land and claim it-- we will get it in the spirit realm, which will later manifest in the natural. For the ones who obey and please God, every place that we set our foot, God will give it to us and we will possess it. God is not one who can ever lie and faith is being sure of what we hope for but certain of what we do not see—If He said it, it is finished! We have to fix our eyes on the unseen, not on we see.
(Today the prophecy of yesterday’s distinction of God’s people came to pass.1) “I will make a distinction between my people and your people and this miraculous sign will occur tomorrow—and the Lord did this.” 2) “On that day, living water will flow in the summer an in the winter.” God said in a gentle whisper to Pastor,“Get them ready to cross the Jordan!” We physically stepped in faith to possess the land that God promised to give to us). We don’t know or can’t even fathom what God did for us as we obeyed Him! God has had a plan for us and today, He put something into operation as we stepped into the land in faith. God said “Everyone who heard Me tonight, in 3 days, you will have a new direction”. Wait until God touches you, don’t use your mind to get things to you—let God tell you, then praise God that things are finally coming to you. So, when direction and things begin to come in, just praise God!
Power Scripture: “Now then, you and all these people, get ready to cross the Jordan river into the land I am about to give to them—To the Israelites, I will give you every place where you set your foot, as I promised Moses.” Joshua 1:2-3
GUIDED BIBLE STUDY:
FROM THE DAYS OF JOHN THE BAPTIST UNTIL NOW, THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN HAS BEEN FOREFULLY ADVANCING, AND FORCEFUL MEN LAY HOLD OF IT. FOR ALL THE PROPHETS AND THE LAW PROPHESIED UNTIL JOHN. AND IF YOU ARE WILLING TO ACCEPT IT, HE IS THE ELIJAH WHO WAS TO COME. HE WHO HAS EARS, LET HIM HEAR. ‘’TO WHAT CAN I COMPARE THIS GENERATION? THEY ARE LIKE CHILDREN SITTING IN THE MARKETPLACES AND CALLING OUT TO OTHERS: ‘’WE PLAYED THE FLUTE FOR YOU, AND YOU DID NOT DANCE; WE SANG A DIRGE, ( A SLOW MOURNFUL PIECE OF MUSIC: A SONG OF LAMENTAION; GRIEF ANGUISH AND DESTUCTION ) AND YOU DID NOT MOURN.’ FOR JOHN CAME NEITHER EATING NOR DRINKING, AND THEY SAY, ‘HE WAS A DEMON.’ THE SON OF MAN CAME EATING AND DRINKING, AND THEY SAY, ‘HERE IS A GLUTTON AND A DRUNKARD, A FRIEND OF TAX COLLECTORS AND ‘’SINNER.’’ BUT WISDOM IS PROVED RIGHT BY HER ACTIONS.’’
MATTHEW 11:12-19
‘’NOT A MAN OF THIS EVIL GENERATION SHALL SEE THE GOOD LAND I SWORE TO GIVE YOUR FOREFATHERS, EXCEPT CALEB SON OF JEPHUNNEH. HE WILL SEE IT, AND I WILL GIVE HIM AND HIS DESCENDANTS THE LAND HE SET HIS FEET ON, BECAUSE HE FOLLOWED THE LORD WHOLEHEARTEDLY.’’
DEUTERONOMY 1:35-36
EAST OF THE JORDAN IN THE TERRITORY OF MOAB, MOSES BEGAN TO EXPOUND THIS LAW, SAYING: THE LORD OUR GOD SAID TO US AT HOREB,
( S.O.T.M. ) ‘’YOU HAVE STAYED LONG ENOUGH AT THIS MOUNTAIN. BREAK CAMP AND ADVANCE INTO THE HILL COUNTRY OF THE AMORITES; GO TO ALL THE NEIGHBORING PEOPLES IN THE ARABAH, IN THE MOUNTAINS, IN THE WESTERN FOOTHILLS, ( WATER TO WINE HAPPENS TO BE IN THE WESTERN PART OF TOWN IN THE FOOTHILLS OF LAKEWAY; I HEAR GOD! ) IN THE NEGEV AND ALONG THE COAST, ( ANYONE LOOKING FOR LAND ALONG THE COAST OF CORPUS CHRISTI TEXAS.) TO THE LAND OF THE CANAANITES AND TO LEBANON, AS FAR AS THE GREAT RIVER, THE EUPHRATES. SEE, I HAVE GIVEN YOU THIS LAND. GO IN AND TAKE POSSESSION OF THE LAND THAT THE LORD SWORE HE WOULD GIVE TO YOUR FATHERS---TO ABRHAM, ISAAC AND JACOB---AND TO THEIR DESCENDANTS AFTER THEM.’’
DEUTERONOMY 1:5-8
THEN, AS THE LORD OUR GOD COMMANDED US, WE SET OUT FROM HOREB AND WENT TOWARD THE HILL COUNTRY OF THE AMORITES THROUGH ALL THAT VAST AND DREADFUL DESERT ( VAST: VERY GREAT IN SIZE ENORMOUS, HUGE, GIGANTIC ) ( DREADFUL: FRIGHTENING EXTREMELY DISTASTEFUL, UNPLEASANT, SHOCKING ) THAT YOU HAVE SEEN,
DEUTERONOMY 1:19
THE LORD APPEARS TO ELIJAH AND SPOKE THESE WORDS TO HIM:
THE LORD SAID, ‘’GO OUT AND STAND ON THE MOUNTAIN IN THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD, FOR THE LORD IS ABOUT TO PASS BY.’’ THEN A GREAT AND POWERFUL WIND TORE THE MOUNTAINS APART AND SHATTERED THE ROCKS BEFORE THE LORD, BUT THE LORD WAS NOT IN THE WIND. AFTER THE WIND THERE WAS AN EARTHQUAKE, BUT THE LORD WAS NOT IN THE EARTHQUAKE. AFTER THE EARTHQUAKE CAME A FIRE, BUT THE LORD WAS NOT IN THE FIRE. AND AFTER THE FIRE CAME A GENTLE WHISPER.
1 KINGS 19:11-12
TONIGHT HAS THERE BEEN A GENTLE WHISPER INSIDE OF YOU SPEAKING TO YOUR SOUL? SAYING WITHIN; ‘’ TONIGHT MY CHILD BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD; I AM IN THIS PLACE TO GIVE YOU INSTRUCTIONS.
SO ALONG YOUR JOURNEY TO THE LAND THAT WAS PROMISED; THE TRIP WILL NOT BE EASY; WE WILL GO THROUGH HARD TIMES; WE WILL GO THROUGH TRIALS AND GREAT TRIBULATIONS; BUT THIS IS THE TIMES OF YOUR FAITH GROWING STRONGER AND STRONGER: THESE ARE THE TIMES THAT YOU BEGAN TO LEARN THE POWER OF MY WORD; IN THIS PLACE YOU LEARN TO HEAR MY VOICE. YOU LEARN TO OBEY MY DIRECTION; YOU LEARN TO LISTEN AS I PLACE YOU ON THE PATH. YOU LEARN TO CALL UPON ME AND DISCOVER THAT I HEAR YOU. IN THIS PLACE YOU REALIZE THAT I ANSWER PRAYERS. YOU ALSO LEARN THAT NO GOOD THING I SHALL KEEP FROM YOU; YOU SHALL LACK NOTHING. THIS IS A GREAT PLACE TO BE; GOING THROUGH THE DESERT; THE DRY PLACES.
HAVE YOU NOTICED THAT GOD TOLD ELIJAH IN 1 KINGS 19:15 ‘’GO BACK THE WAY YOU CAME, AND GO TO THE DESERT OF DAMASCUS.
GOD HAD A PLAN FOR HIS LIFE: TONIGHT GOD HAS A PLAN FOR YOUR LIFE!
SEE, THE LORD YOUR GOD HAS GIVEN YOU THE LAND. GO UP AND TAKE POSSESSION OF IT AS THE LORD, THE GOD OF YOUR FATHERS, TOLD YOU. DO NOT BE DISCOURAGED.’’
DEUTERONOMY 1:21
DO NOT MERELY LISTEN TO THE WORD, AND SO DECEIVE YOURSELVES. DO WHAT IT SAYS. ANYONE WHO LISTENS TO THE WORD BUT DOES NOT DO WHAT IT SAYS IS LIKE A MAN WHO LOOKS AT HIS FACE IN A MIRROR AND, AFTER LOOKING AT HIMSELF, GOES AWAY AND IMMEDIATELY FORGETS WHAT HE LOOKS LIKE. BUT THE MAN WHO LOOKS INTENTLY INTO THE PERFECT LAW THAT GIVES FREEDOM, AND CONTINUES TO DO THIS, NOT FORGETTING WHAT HE HAS HEARD, BUT DOING IT---HE WILL BE BLESSED IN WHAT HE DOES.
JAMES 1:22-25
THE LORD YOUR GOD HAS BLESSED YOU IN ALL THE WORK OF YOUR HANDS. HE HAS WATCHED OVER YOUR JOURNEY THROUGH THIS VAST DESERT. THESE FORTY YEARS THE LORD YOUR GOD HAS BEEN WITH YOU, AND YOU HAVE NOT LACKED ANYTHING.
DEUTERONOMY 2:7
SEE, I HAVE TAUGHT YOU DECREES AND LAWS AS THE LORD MY GOD COMMANDED ME, SO THAT YOU MAY FOLLOW THEM IN THE LAND YOU ARE ENTERING TO TAKE POSSESSION OF IT. OBSERVE THEM CAREFULLY, FOR THIS WILL SHOW YOUR WISDOM AND UNDERSTANDING TO THE NATIONS, WHO WILL HEAR ABOUT ALL THESE DECREES AND SAY, ‘’SURELY THIS GREAT NATION IS A WISE AND UNDERSTANDING PEOPLE.’’ WHAT OTHER NATION IS SO GREAT AS TO HAVE THEIR gods NEAR THEM THE WAY THE LORD OUR GOD IS NEAR US WHENEVER WE PRAY TO HIM?
DEUTERONOMY 4:5-7
AFTER THE DEATH OF MOSES THE SERVANT OF THE LORD, THE LORD SAID TO JOSHUA SON OF NUNN, MOSES AIDE: ‘’MOSES MY SERVANT IS DEAD. NOW THEN, YOU AND ALL THESE PEOPLE, GET READY TO CROSS THE JORDAN RIVER INTO THE LAND I AM ABOUT TO GIVE TO THEM---TO THE ISRAELITES. I WILL GIVE YOU EVERY PLACE WHERE YOU SET YOUR FOOT, AS I PROMISED MOSES.
JOSHUA 1:1-3
THE TRUMPET IS BLOWING: GET THESE PEOPLE READY:
NOW FAITH IS BEING SURE OF WHAT WE HOPE FOR AND CERTAIN OF WHAT WE DO NOT SEE.
HEBREWS 11:1
THEREFORE WE DO NOT LOSE HEART. THOUGH OUTWARDLY WE ARE WASTING AWAY, YET INWARDLY ( THE SPIRIT THE SOUL ) WE ARE BEING RENEWED DAY BY DAY. FOR OUR LIGHT AND MOMENTARY TROUBLES ARE ACHIEVING FOR US AN ETERNAL GLORY THAT FAR OUTWEIGHS THEM ALL. SO WE FIX OUR EYES NOT ON WHAT IS SEEN, BUT ON WHAT IS UNSEEN. FOR WHAT IS SEEN IS TEMPORARY, BUT WHAT IS UNSEEN IS ETERNAL.
2 CORINTHIANS 4:16-18
HERE ARE THINGS THAT YOU CANNOT SEE IN THE NATURE REALM; BUT MY FAITH TELLS ME THAT SOMETHING IS TAKING PLACE IN THE SPIRITUAL REALM OF GOD TONIGHT!
AFTER THIS I LOOKED AND THERE BEFORE ME WAS A GREAT MULTITUDE THAT NO ONE COULD COUNT, FROM EVERY NATION, TRIBE, PEOPLE AND LANGUAGE, STANDING BEFORE THE THRONE AND IN FRONT OF THE LAMB. THEY WERE WEARING WHITE ROBES AND WERE HOLDING PALM BRANCHES IN THEIR HANDS. AND THEY CRIED IN A LOUD VOICE: ‘’SALVATION BELONGS TO OUR GOD, WHO SITS ON THE THRONE, AND TO THE LAMB.’’ ALL THE ANGELS WERE STANDING AROUND THE THRONE AND AROUND THE ELDERS AND THE FOUR LIVING CREATURES. THEY FELL DOWN ON THEIR FACES BEFORE THE THRONE AND WORSHIPED GOD, SAYING: AMEN! PRAISE AND GLORY AND WISDOM AND THANKS AND HONOR AND POWER AND STRENGHT BE TO OUR GOD FOR EVER AND EVER. AMEN!’’ THEN ONE OF THE ELDERS ASKED ME, ‘’THESE IN WHITE ROBES---WHO ARE THEY, AND WHERE DID THEY COME FROM?’’ I ANSWERED, ‘’SIR, YOU KNOW.’’ AND HE SAID, ‘’THESE ARE THEY WHO HAVE COME OUT OF THE GREAT TRIBULATION: THEY HAVE WASHED THEIR ROBES AND MADE THEM WHITE IN THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB. THEREFORE, ‘’THEY ARE BEFORE THE THRONE OF GOD AND SERVE HIM DAY AND NIGHT IN HIS TEMPLE; AND HE WHO SITS ON THE THRONE WILL SPREAD HIS TENT OVER THEM. NEVER AGAIN WILL THEY HUNGER; NEVER AGAIN WILL THEY THIRST. THE SUN WILL NOT BEAT UPON THEM, NOR ANY SCORCHING HEAT. FOR THE LAMB AT THE CENTER OF THE THRONE WILL BE THEIR SHEPHERD; HE WILL LEAD THEM TO SPRINGS OF LIVING WATER. AND GOD WILL WIPE AWAY EVERY TEAR FROM THEIR EYES.’’REVELATION 7:9-17

This was a beautiful and awesome message. I'm grateful the SPIRIT led me to THIS PLACE - this ministry. I'm seeing a new NEW PATH for me/my husband and the Spirit of Truth Ministries......
From the days of John the Baptist who prepared us for the way of the LORD, In THIS DAY our Pastor prepares me for the the way of the Lord.
The Kingdom of Heaven has been forcefully advancing. I totally agree with GOD.
You and the Spirit of Truth Ministries - we are like HIS children in the Market Place just like those days.
God is indeed calling to Others - through our Pastor and the members of Spirit of Truth Ministries.
The Kingdom of Heaven/God is here and some ignore just like those days.
Those who follow the LORD whole-heartedly received the LAND - I grabbed it and received it.
I am a descendant of Abraham and the LAND GOD gave our forefathers He gave to me.
Mark and I have stayed long enough at this mountain and we are breaking Camp and Advancing into the Hill Country!
I have added this WORD to RESTAURANT scriptures collection: Deut 1:5-8 Thank you Lord for showing our Pastor this Promise.
Mark and I went in and took possession of the Land that the Lord swore He would give to our forefathers. IT IS DONE.
We went through the vast desert / hard times for a reason - to train us up - PREAPRE us for such a time as this.
When we get in the Flow- Things will change: I totally Agree that God Restored my Family.
I believe that my headaches are now gone.
I have added this WORD to RESTAURANT scriptures collection:
See the Lord Your God has given YOU the LAND. Go up and take possession of it as the Lord,
the God of your Fathers told you. Do Not Be Afraid. Do Not Be Discouraged. Deut:1:21
I can NOT merely listen to the WORD and be deceived, I MUST DO what it says... I POSSESSED the Land on Tuesday night and every day.
God blessed ALL the work sof my hands. Thank you LORD for watching over me during these 4 years that I’ve worked for you Lord and the 40years in the vast desert as You trained me.
I loved how the SPIRIT led Marie to Possess the Land by walking and stepping into the Land WHEREVER YOU PLACE YOUR FOOT / CLAIM IT – IT IS YOURS. We claimed Restaurant LAND and Promise Land.
We have stepped into the LAND with NOW FAITH. Thank you Lord. Glory to you oh Lord!
God has a plan for me and GOD did something in me last night. He even confirmed it and spoke it through my Pastor:Denise, it’s going to be Good.
The Lord knows I am waiting patiently - in 3 days everyoe will have a new direction. And when the Lord speaks he never lies. This too shall come to pass.
The SPIRIT of the LORD spoke and said:Mark – this building (restaurant) is looking good and CHRIST is saying YES and AMEN.
The Amen has spoken because we are joint heirs.
