Even if you've been in a season of delay and postponement or failure or addiction or whatever you've gone through, I wanna announce this over your life today. God's not done with your life. If you're breathing, he's still working. Is anybody hearing me today? Here's the definition of the land yet to be taken. It includes unclaimed promises. Anybody got any of those in your life? You're still waiting for the prophetic word? Unrealized potential. I think that applies to all of us in unfulfilled vision. [00:39:25] (30 seconds)  #UnclaimedPromises

In order to take ground, the ground that God has for you, it's gonna take strength and courage. Because here here's the big idea. There's some enemies still left on the real estate that God has intended for you to possess. He tells Joshua, hey. I'm giving you the land. Go on in. Take it. It's yours. Oh, by the way, there's the Amalekites and the Canaanites and the Jebusites and the Parasites and the termites and all the ises. You gotta drive those suckers out because they're they're in your real estate. [00:40:49] (30 seconds)  #TakeGroundWithCourage

Some of you have probably left some giants or some enemies in your real estate, and we learn as believers how to coexist with some enemies that God never intended to have your real estate. We signed detente with a few enemies who are like, hey. I I love God, and I'm gonna serve him, but, you know, I got kind of an anger issue. You know, I got some rage that surfaces, and I don't know. I just I I have got the therapy and all the stuff. Haven't been able to deal with it, so we're just gonna keep that back there in the spare bedroom at the at the back of the house. [01:02:46] (32 seconds)  #EvictHiddenEnemies

If you fail to drive out the people who live in the land, those who remain will be like splinters in your eyes and thorns in your sides. They will harass you in the land where you live. Get a visual. Splinters in your eyes and thorns in your sides. And we know this that enemies at the beginning, they don't seem like that much of a threat. Goliath was probably cute as a toddler. He's five foot tall as a toddler, but he was cute. [01:04:14] (29 seconds)  #DriveOutTheThorns

He's a man about whom God said, I found David son of Jesse, a man after my own heart. He will do everything I want him to do. And this is a long time after his long list of sins, and I want you to hear this today. The key to obtaining the land is not a spotless record or a or a life without failure, it's complete obedience which starts with complete repentance. [01:05:25] (24 seconds)  #ObedienceOverPerfection

You simply have a heart willing to say, God, every time you reveal anything in my life that's out of obedience to you, I will repent and say, God, I'm gonna do my best to obey everything. And then here's the promise, you'll be prosperous and successful in everything you do. Is that even possible? Prosperity and success in everything? According to the scripture, it is. But the key is complete and total obedience. Then he says, have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Don't be afraid. Don't be discouraged for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go. [01:08:49] (37 seconds)  #CompleteObedience

How to drive out your enemies and take the land? You gotta study the word diligently. You gotta speak the word continually and obey everything that God reveals to you. There's a lot in those three statements, but if you'll apply those, write them down, begin to think through, pray through, here's what God's gonna do. He's gonna show you how to drive out some Jebusites, And the most precious real estate in your life will be yours in Jesus' name. Amen. [01:11:25] (26 seconds)  #StudySpeakObey

But I want you to ask, Lord and many of you already know, but what is the ground left to be taken? And what is the step and the obedience I need to see the Jebusites eradicated? What is the step? What is the obedience that you're looking for in my life as a key? And I believe God's gonna speak to some people. [01:12:24] (19 seconds)  #AskAndObey
