Living In The Promised Land.

Living in the Promised Land.

"These things happened to them as examples for us." 1Co 10:11 NLT

Egypt represents our days in bondage to sin. Then Jesus liberated us and gave us a new life. Our Promised Land isn't a physical territory; it's a spiritual reality. It's not real estate, but a real state of heart and mind. 

• It's a life in which "we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us" (Ro 8:37 NKJV).
• A life in which "we do not lose heart" (2Co 4:16 NKJV). 
• A life in which we are "exceedingly joyful in all our tribulation (2Co 7:4 NKJV); 
• we are "anxious for nothing" (Php 4:6 NKJV); 
• we are "praying always" (Eph 6:18); 
• and a life in which we "do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him" (Col 3:17 NKJV). 

Max Lucado wrote: [In Canaan]...'we win more often than we lose, forgive as quickly as we are offended, and give as abundantly as we receive. 

• We serve out of our giftedness and delight in our assignments.
• We may stumble, but we do not collapse. 
• We may struggle, but we defy despair. 
• We boast only in Christ, trust only in God, lean wholly on his power. 
• We enjoy abundant fruit and increasing faith." 

Canaan symbolizes the victory we can have today, and God invites us to enter it. 

There is only one condition; we must turn our backs on wilderness living." 

Paul wrote: "You are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light" (1Pe 2:9 NKJV).

Living in the Promised Land "You are a chosen generation."
