Psalm 91 – – Suggested Reading.

Due to brevity of space I will not give this Psalm in its entirety rather refer to it.  Psalm 91 is a picture of the Place of Victory that God desires His children to attain and live.  Jesus came that we might have LIFE and that MORE ABUNDANT.  He came to redeem us from the curse and bring us to full and total victory causing us to ALWAYS TRIUMPH in Him.  It brings God no glory for us to live beneath that place of promise He purchased for us.

I would like to remind you that when Moses brought the Children of Israel to the place where they could enter the Promised Land and take possession of their inheritance God gave each tribe a prophecy and a promise.  Please take note that for them to possess the promise they first had to dispossess the occupants thereof.  That is important!   Jesus has purchased us the full inheritance but for us to enjoy that promise we must move in and through the Spirit of God and dispossess the one that is camped on our inheritance.

As they came to the borders of the place of inheritance and promise prophecies were given as found in Deuteronomy 33.  Consider them briefly:

• RUBEN (v.6) – – Life with many heirs.
• JUDAH (v.7) – – Sufficiency.
• BENJAMIN (v.12) – – Protection and Deliverance.
• JOSEPH – – (vv. 13-17) – – Presence of God, Holy Spirit, Gifts.
• EPHRAIM & MANASSEH – – (v.17) – – Glory.
• ZEBULUN (v.18) – – Joy
• ISSACHAR (vv.18-19) – – Prosperity.
• GAD (vv.20-21) – – Increase.
• DAN (v.22) – – Authority.
• NAPHTALI (v.23) – – Satisfaction and Favor.
• ASHER (vv.24-25) – – Anointing and Oil.

LEVI was identified as the priestly tribe.  These promises combined translate into a picture of the fullness of life we are to have in Christ as Kings and Priests unto God walking in the fullness of our inheritance.  Just as they faced occupants who were occupying their inheritance there is an enemy that would attempt to prevent us from entering into the fullness of what God has provided for us.  Remember the Bible says ‘resist the devil’ and he will flee.  It did not say that he would automatically leave or leave without a struggle.  We are more than conquerors through Jesus and it is time that we POSSESS the PROMISES in the Power of the Spirit of God and on the Authority of God’s Word.

We need to move into God’s Vision and away from our individual survival visions that tend to prevent us from fully entering in.  Remember the words of Jesus “fear not little flock for it is My Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.”   It is time to Possess the Promise! 

May God be with you as you go through your day!
