Sermon Ai, New Ground Part 1, DP 1/4/26

And he says, you are going in. It is your time to take the land, and they crossed over. There was a demarcation between the wilderness and the promised land known as the Jordan River. And the Jordan River represents that moment in your life when you cross over from unbelief into faith. Now the wilderness represents a life of sin. The promised land, a life of forgiveness.

What an amazing promise God has given. And there's three components of spiritual land acquisition for the Israelites that apply to you. Here's what they are. You have God's promises, God's timing, and our faith response. God's promises, I'm giving you the very land that an entire generation forfeited. I've got amazing promises, Joshua, that I'm giving you and all the people. And then there's God's timing. He says, the time has come for you. [00:07:38] (30 seconds)  #PromisesTimingFaith

I just wanna prophesy over you today. The time has come for you. The time has come for you to get rid of that addiction. The time has come for you to move forward into a ministry. God's called you. There's the the time has come for you to begin to invest in eternity. The time has come. So we have divine timing, God's promises, and then the third component is this. There's an action required. This is wherever you set your foot. [00:08:09] (26 seconds)  #NowIsYourTime

Alright? It wasn't it wasn't a test drive, and I don't need to know the outcomes. This is not a brochure where you get to read the fine print. And if you like where God has you in five years, you sign off on it. And but if you don't like it, you're like, I think I'll pass on that. No. Here's how it works. You come unto him. You realize that he rescued your soul, and you say, God, because of what you did for me on the cross, I now surrender my life, my will, my future 110%. I lay myself at your feet and then you get to see some amazing things, but we don't know the outcomes. [00:18:36] (38 seconds)  #AllInForGod

Because you all know the, I don't know how accurate it is, but the definition of insanity is what? To expect different results when you keep doing the same thing. So let's not do the same thing in January '26 that we did in months of '25 and and things just stay static. The Holy Spirit is calling you up. Come on. There's some rivers to cross. There's some ground for you to take in Jesus' name. I believe it. [00:29:05] (25 seconds)  #CrossNewRivers

I I I told you I'd give you four facts. Here's one more as the man comes up. And it's this, an amazing life and legacy await us all on the other side of complete and permanent surrender, consecration. Read it again. Lean into it. An amazing life and legacy await us all on the other side of complete and permanent surrender, which is consecration. You know, that's all the Lord wants from me. That's all the Lord wants from you. He doesn't have a dollar amount or an hourly commitment to serve amount. He just says, son, daughter, simply surrender. And on the other side of it, back to Hannah, you don't know what it's gonna produce, but you're willing to make the decision. [00:29:31] (49 seconds)  #SurrenderForLegacy

Now listen, consecration is personal to you. It's personal for you. The Holy Spirit will craft a commitment and alter a decision and he'll invite you into it, he won't force your hand. So what God asked of Abraham, he didn't ask of Hannah. And what God asked of Hannah, he didn't ask of Peter, James, and John. What God asked of them, he didn't ask of Timothy. And what he asked of Timothy, he's not asking of you. But it will be personal. It will be meaningful. It will be sacrificial, and it will shape your future. [00:30:20] (34 seconds)  #ConsecrationIsPersonal

This is here. Those locations are there and all that God has done, not because of my holiness or my charisma or my education or my gifting, but a simple yes. That's all he's asking for. Will you give him an unqualified, unrestricted yes to say, God, whatever you're asking, I will step over that line. I'll cross the Jordan. I'll consecrate my life to you from this day forward. And when you do, listen, there is legacy and vision and future and potential on the other side of consecration. [00:34:26] (36 seconds)  #SayYesToGod
