POINTS:

• Command number one: be strong and courageous.

• Command number two: keep His word.

• The biggest difference between the first generation and the second was faith.

• Egypt = what we used to know.

• The new land will include the blessings of God, battles, and new skills.

• God’s promises:

1. A place where we can live. Jesus is our Promised Land.

2. A place where He will bring forth a great harvest in our lives.

3. We will lack nothing.

4. Victory over our enemy.

• “Our Promised Lands are characterized by the presence of victory, not the absence of opposition.” -Beth Moore

• It’s for our good that we have battles.

• A shield of faith was only used when troops were advancing to take new territory.

• The primary way satan assaults our faith is by attacking God’s character through our character.

• When we drop our shield of faith, every part of us becomes vulnerable to satan’s lies.

• To consecrate = to set apart for a divine purpose.

• Sanctification happens through the word of God, prayer, and fasting.

• Fasting is not just about abstaining; it’s about reclaiming.
