A Great Spiritual Land Rush

Today’s blog post is contributed by David Trotta:

Every place on which the sole of your foot treads shall be yours; your border will be from the wilderness to Lebanon, and from the river, the river Euphrates, as far as the western sea. (Deuteronomy 11:24)

Has God called you to take some spiritual ground from the enemy?  Maybe it’s the heart of a neighbor or coworker?  Maybe it’s a new ministry God is leading you into?  Maybe it’s simply being a light in a dark place?

Whatever it may be, just like the nation of Israel, God has given you that land.  As God’s church, every place we tread the land is there for the taking.

So get your spiritual stake ready to lay claim to that land.

But before you can take the land you may have to kick off a few squatters.

A squatter is someone who settles on land without right or title.  Our spiritual advisory, the devil, likes to lay claim to hearts and minds that belong to God, but he was stripped of his authority over 2000 years ago.

Luke 10:19 says we have been given authority over the power of the enemy.  So, wherever God is leading you, go with confidence.  God has given you the spiritual deed over the land.  All squatters have to go!

That said, in order to take any land, you have to tread somewhere.  A sure fire way to not expand the kingdom of God is to stay in your comfortable life, inside your comfortable four walls.

It easy to do.  Stepping out into new land can be uncomfortable and require sacrifice, but we have our marching orders.  Jesus said “Go into all the world.” He was telling us to take the land!

In the late 1800’s the US government held great “land rushes” in Oklahoma where tens of thousands of people lined up to lay claim to millions of acres of land.

In these end times, God is setting up a great spiritual land rush for His church.  There’s lots of land (hearts) to be taken.  Are you ready?
