Most Christians live their Christian life somewhere between deliverance from sin (Egypt) and just short of the Spirit-led life (the Promised Land). They are wilderness Christians. They wander around between failure and defeat, some where between bondage and true victory. They have been told by “older” saints that living a life free from “condemnation” is impossible, that all must and will sin daily! They cannot posses the Promised Land of milk and honey, and live in victory and “rest” everyday of their lives. “We are not able to posses the Land, for there are giants and walled cities”! Because of their own lack of faith and believing a bad report, they never really enter into the REST of God. The Lord Jesus did not deliver us from Egypt (sin) just to leave us wandering in the wilderness going from temporary small victories to defeats. He brought us “out” to bring us “in”. We are to possess the Promise Land, to own it and live victorious in all that we do. We are to live free from “condemnation” by walking in the Spirit day by day! We do not have to live defeated or fail every test we take. We can be “more than conquerors” thru Him our new leader Joshua (Hebrew for Jesus).
Every time some “older” saint tells me “No one is perfect, you sin everyday”…I refuse to believe this bad report. I am able and well able to possess the land of Victory, because it is not I but Jesus in me that lives out the Victory of the Spirit-led life. I can do all things thru Him…Be blessed.
