Today's devotional reading for:
Thursday, Apr 23, 2020 Entering The Promised Land
“So I swore in My wrath, ‘They shall not enter My rest’”
— Hebrews 4:3
Have you ever had a relationship with someone who didn’t have faith in you?
If so, how did you feel, knowing you would never fail that person yet that person failed to trust you?
God feels the same way when we don’t believe in His power or desire to bless us.
God feels pleased when we have faith in Him, and He feels angry when we don’t.
In fact, our unbelief often short-circuits the blessings He has in store for us.
Consider, if you will, this tremendous lesson from the Old Testament.
God promised to deliver the Israelites into the Promised Land.
To get them there, He gave them straightforward directions: Go directly to the mount, receive the Ten Commandments, proceed to Kadesh Barnea, enter the Promised Land, and occupy it.
Moses sent twelve spies to scope out the land in advance, to determine the obstacles that would have to be overcome before taking possession of the land.
When the twelve spies returned, ten of them reported that the giants and walled cities were greater than the Israelites could conquer.
Because of the Israelites’ reliance upon themselves and unbelief in God, God condemned them to wander for forty years in the wilderness.
God said, “So I swore in my wrath, ‘They shall not enter My rest.’”
The Israelites did not place their trust in God; instead, they trusted in their own plans. And because they did, they delayed their entrance into the Promised Land.
Their unbelief kept them from experiencing God’s perfect will for their lives.
God’s plan is perfect, and we need to submit to it.
Otherwise we may find our hearts and souls in the midst of a vast wilderness, wandering because of our inability to trust Him.
I encourage you to pray that God would give you the will to trust Him and His perfect plan.
As you believe in His ability and desire to care for you, He will surely lead you to the Promised Land.
He’ll lead you there even if you make the tiniest step of faith toward him by praying as the doubting man in Mark 9 did—“Lord, I do believe; help thou my unbelief.”
If you’ve missed God’s perfect will for you in the past because you’ve lacked faith, don’t be discouraged.
You can still experience His will for you as you believe in Him.
Trust in Him today, for He is faithful.
“When unhappy, one doubts everything.
When happy, one doubts nothing.” Joseph Roux  | ||||||

Heaven Is Our Destination Where We Will Be ONE With The Lord Forever
Today, we are in The Season Of The Last Generation. The Birth Pains that Christ Jesus spoke about are currently under way, including natural and unnatural disasters. They will be ever increasing. Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold. Social, economic and political turmoil will be ever increasing, causing people's hearts to be weighed down with dissipation, drunkenness and the anxieties of life. An apostasy within the Church of God is currently under way. This will all reach a climax with Satan revealing his Antichrist and requiring that everyone worship him; That every one receive his "mark" in order to buy or sell; The new currency of the New World Order, the New Tower of Babel.
Tom's books include: Called By Christ To Be ONE, The Time Of The END, The Season Of The Last Generation, Worship God In Spirit And In Truth, Daniel And The Time Of The END, and Overcoming The Evil One. They are available at amazon.com. They can also be read without cost by clicking on link: Toms Books.
To receive Christ Jesus as a child by faith is the highest human achievement.
Today, the Bride Of Christ is rising up in every nation in the world! Giving Glory to Her Savior and King, Christ Jesus!
Today, the world is Raging against God, Rushing toward Oblivion! Save yourself from this Corrupt Generation!
Today, America is being ground to powder because of it's SIN against God!
