Morning Word from Pastor Peter Sunagawa

This scripture is often used during walking prayers.

...God is saying, "I am giving it to you as I promised Moses."

The Lord made a promise, but to actually obtain it and make it their own, concrete action was necessary!

They had to step onto the land, fight, and win.

...God's blessings... cannot be possessed if you simply wait, if you simply pray...
...If you do not take action.

...I think this is also true of our faith.

To make the Lord's blessings a reality, we must believe in the Lord and rise up.

Action!

...I had the opportunity to talk with a pastor about revival.

...To get straight to the point...
"If Christians pray for revival... God will bring about revival!"
...That's not wrong, but...
..."Go out and preach the gospel."
...As it says, I think you also need the courage to go out and spread the gospel!
...If you take that first step 👣... by faith and declare it, you will reclaim the land that was taken from you by your enemy.
...
Shalom 😃
