Appropriating Promises by Faith

 “And the LORD gave them rest round about, according to all that he sware unto their fathers: and there stood not a man of all their enemies before them; the LORD delivered all their enemies into their hand.”

‭‭Joshua‬ ‭21:44‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Yahweh kept His promise and gave Israel peace in the land as they took possession of the promised land.  This is what Yahweh had promised their forefathers.  Not one of their enemies could stand against them.  For us in the new covenant that Yeshua made with us through the Cross, all the works of our enemy, the devil, have been destroyed.  Just as the children of Israel received rest in the promised land as Yahweh delivered them, so today all His promises in Scripture become ‘Yes’ and ‘Amen’ to us who are in Christ.  As we appropriate these promises by faith, we must be eager to experience this faith-rest life, so that no one falls short by following the same pattern of doubt and unbelief.  Let’s enjoy the rest the Lord has given us!  Thank You Jesus!
