TOPIC: Appropriating Faith
SCRIPTURE Arise … for we have seen the land, and behold, it is very good; and are ye still? Be not slothful to go, and enter to possess the land: for God hath given it into your hands; a place where there is no want of anything that is in the earth – Judg 18:9-10
Arise! Then there is something definite for us to do. Nothing is ours unless we take it. āThe children of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, took their inheritanceā (Joshua 16:4). āThe house of Jacob shall possess their possessionsā (Obad. 17). āThe upright shall have good things in possession.ā
We need to have appropriating faith in regard to Godās promises. We must make Godās Word our own personal possession. A child was asked once what appropriating faith was, and the answer was, āIt is taking a pencil and underscoring all the meās and mineās and myās in the Bible.ā
Take any word you please that He has spoken and say, āThat word is my word.ā Put your finger on this promise and say, āIt is mine.ā How much of the Word has been endorsed and receipted and said āIt is done.ā How many promises can you subscribe and say, āFulfilled to me.ā
āSon, thou art ever with Me, and all that I have is thine.ā Donāt let your inheritance go by default.
āWhen faith goes to market it always takes a basket.ā
