Great Things Ahead!

Thank God for the assurance that “some” will possess the land! God is not going to close this dispensation until “some” enter to their inheritance in Jesus Christ. Paul wrote in the book of Hebrews… “Seeing therefore it remaineth that “some must” enter therein.” (Hebrews 4:6) The generation that came out of Egypt failed to enter in because of unbelief, and died in the wilderness. The next generation went in to possess what their fathers saw but refused.
The early generation of spirit-filled people at the turn of the century, took their journey from the wilderness of denominationalism and encamped on the very doorstep of Canaan – but they too failed to enter in because of unbelief. Some saw the vision; the majority did not. True, there were a few Calebs and Joshuas who rested in the promises of God and continued to look forward to better things - - and God will certainly vindicate His word and His oath, and cause them to possess the land with the new generation that God is now raising up. But as a whole, the people God chose from among the denominations and called apart into a new fellowship in the Spirit and baptized with the Holy Ghost - - failed to enter into the land, denounced those who exhorted the people to do so, and turned back into the wilderness like their predecessors in Israel.
As surely as God’s word is try and His oath immutable - - so surely is the Lord now raising up a new generation who shall be empowered to take the land and enter into the realm of the Spirit of God. “Some must enter therein…” If this generation withdraws from the promises in the face of violent opposition, it too will perish and God will wait for another generation to take the land. His word has declared it, and it must come to pass. This time, God’s people WILL NOT FAIL. In this great hour, God Himself will intervene in wonderful sovereignty on behalf of those who see the vision. The “HOUR HAS COME” for the unveiling of God’s eternal purposes.
