Visionary Moments with Pastor Crenshaw - The Stimulus Package
Fresh out of bondage, the Israelites had very few worldly possessions. All they possessed were the items given them by the Egyptians to hasten their departure. They were human, like each of us they had great concerns for their welfare and survival. They wondered where the next meal was coming from. They were concerned about what they would wear when the clothes on their backs fell apart. They stressed over when the next attack from the enemy would come. They were concerned for their very existence.
If we are honest from time to time we all find ourselves concerned about things in our lives. We all share concerns about the monthly financial obligations, insecurity of our jobs and the influences other youths are having on our children.
No matter how spiritual we are or pretend to be, everyone finds himself or herself concerned about some place in their life. And every Child of God should be concerned where the next attack is coming from because the devil is working overtime to bring down the saints of God. But as God promised the Israelites He has promised us, I have subdued your enemy and I have decided your inheritance.
God told them, every place the soles of your shoes shall touch I have given that place to you. But notice, God informs them where to walk. God directs them where to walk because, if God promises them where ever they tread will be theirs, then God must be sure where they are going because, God cannot Lie! If they go to a place where other gods are worshipped, that unholy ungodly place becomes theirs.
God desires to do the same thing with us. God is willing to give us every place where our feet tread, but we must follow His direction as where to go. God informs us the promise is only good, if we are willing to walk where He has directed.
God understands these Israelites have Slave Mentality. They are not accustomed to providing for themselves. God realizes, if they were allowed to pick the place where they staked their claim on the land, they would not venture out very far.
Because God loves us more than we love ourselves, while He understands our insecurities, He yet desires to bless us. Therefore He prepares blessings for us that are more than we can imagine. Blessings that are greater than we ever expected, anticipated or dreamed.
If you walk according to God's Word, stay in His holy will, and give yourself totally to His holy way, everywhere the soles of your feet shall touch God will give to you!
Walk in faith knowing everywhere your feet shall tread, is already yours!
"Every place whereon the soles of your feet shall tread shall be yours: from the wilderness and Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates, even unto the uttermost sea shall your coast be." - Deuteronomy 11: 24
Grace and Peace,
Pastor Crenshaw
