It’s Yours to Possess<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

God promised Abraham land.\u00a0 This land was vast and rich in resources.\u00a0 God promised Abraham all the land he could see and set foot on.\u00a0 This land would provide for Abraham and his children for all generations to come.\u00a0 Abraham believed God and walked the land and claimed all God promised to him.<\/p>\n

God has not changed His promise.\u00a0 As believers, we are Abraham\u2019s seed and heirs according to promise.\u00a0 We too have a portion in the \u201cGood Land\u201d to possess.\u00a0 Our Good Land is not in the Middle East.\u00a0 Our Good Land is a special portion that God has allotted to each of His people.\u00a0 This Land may not be known to you yet, but it is there for you to discover.<\/p>\n

God gave you a life on earth.\u00a0 Since you are on earth, He has prepared something to sustain and prosper you.\u00a0 This something is what I call \u201cYour Good Land.\u201d\u00a0 It is something that God has gifted you with.\u00a0 It\u2019s is something tangible that will produce an abundance in your life.\u00a0 What is it?\u00a0 It is for you to discover; it is real and waiting for you to possess.<\/p>\n

My Pastor, Gary Keesee<\/a>, is a great example of this.\u00a0 He lived many years struggling just to survive.\u00a0 The stories he tells about his struggle make me cringe.\u00a0 It was bad!\u00a0 He was a Christian and served in the church, but he was dead broke and suffered physically because of it.\u00a0 He was very shy, and of all things he was in sales.\u00a0 He said that he died 1,000 deaths in that career, but that was part of God\u2019s plan for him to possess his Good Land.<\/p>\n

Finally, one day, Gary laid across his bed and cried out to God, and God answered!\u00a0 He showed Gary that he was living according to the earth-cursed system of painful toil and labor instead of depending on God\u2019s kingdom way.\u00a0 He repented to God and His family and started a journey that led him to his Good Land.\u00a0 God gave him a business idea in a dream and that idea produced millions of dollars in revenue over the years.\u00a0 However, that was only part of the possession of his Good Land.\u00a0 He and his wife Drenda later became pastors of Faith Life Church in New Albany, Ohio. They began teaching what they learned to free others from the earth-cursed system into the ways of God\u2019s Kingdom.\u00a0 He taught Kingdom principles that have changed countless lives including Sandy’s and mine.<\/p>\n

Yet, that was not all the territory God had for him.\u00a0 Later came television and now a world-wide ministry!\u00a0 Now God has positioned the Keesee\u2019s to teach what they learned worldwide.\u00a0 It that it for the Keesee\u2019s?\u00a0 No, as long as they keep saying \u201cYes\u201d to God, there will be more territory for them to take.\u00a0 Their Good Land is increasing and will increase!<\/p>\n

My story is similar in that God positioned me in a sales career.\u00a0 I did NOT want to get into sales.\u00a0 I was fearful of failure and living in poverty because I didn\u2019t believe I had it in me.\u00a0 However, God knew better.\u00a0 One day I said \u201cYes\u201d to sales and things began to change.\u00a0 Over the years, I have developed a great career in sales.\u00a0 I went from $24,000 a year to over $100,000 a year within a 5-year period. \u00a0Why?\u00a0 Because I said \u201cYes\u201d to something that scared me.\u00a0 God was positioning me for something more and I didn\u2019t know it. \u00a0By-they-way, you don’t have to be in sales to possess your good land!<\/p>\n

I knew nothing about God\u2019s Kingdom or how it operated.\u00a0 God led me little by little until I hooked up with two ministries that changed my life forever.\u00a0 The first was Gary Keesee<\/a>, Pastor of Faith Life Church.\u00a0 The other was Steve Gray<\/a>, Pastor of World Revival Church in Kansas City.\u00a0 Through these two men, and others, I learned (and am learning) how to operate in God\u2019s Kingdom and am now taking more territory in MY Good Land.<\/p>\n

Not only am I in sales, which produces a comfortable living for Sandy and me, I began writing and teaching what I have learned.\u00a0 As a matter of fact, my first book is being edited as I write this article.\u00a0 I never dreamed that I would take up writing, but that is part of my Good Land!\u00a0 Even this blog was an instruction from the Lord that I said \u201cYes\u201d to. \u00a0I am currently working on a project called DeadBeat Christian<\/a>. \u00a0It is a You Tube channel that I created. \u00a0It is dedicated to pointing out false Christian beliefs and practices in a humorous way. \u00a0I have other ideas that I am currently working on that will produce huge amounts of revenue.\u00a0 How do I know?\u00a0 Because God has put a desire in my heart that He will help me fulfill as long as I take more territory\u2014as long as I keep saying \u201cYes\u201d to the ideas He plants in my heart.\u00a0 My Good Land is increasing even now.\u00a0 All I have to do is take another step and claim the territory I am standing on.<\/p>\n

My desire is that this article will encourage you to consider where you are.\u00a0 Ask God to show you YOUR Good Land.\u00a0 Let Him speak to you and then take action on the instruction that pops into your mind.\u00a0 God talks to you through thoughts.\u00a0 His voice in like yours and He speaks in a way that you can understand.\u00a0 Don\u2019t dismiss those thoughts or hunches that pop into your head.\u00a0 They might be the Holy Spirit leading you to take what is yours.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
