Courage to Possess

January 7, 2024 • Chad Everett - Lead Pastor • Deuteronomy 31:1–8, 1 John 3:8, Colossians 2:15, Ephesians 4:27, Joel 2:12–17

Do you need to "dispossess" some things in 2024?

As believers, we have an inheritance, and Jesus has already destroyed and disarmed the enemy, so we can take possession of our inheritance.

Sometimes though, we don't know what we've inherited, or we don't possess our inheritance, and sometimes, we let the devil with his lies move into our hearts and live with us.

Are you ready to have victory and take possession of your inheritance?

You must drive out the enemy with the courage to believe what God says over what you fear.

KEY # 2 to Dispossess Our Enemies

KEY # 2 - Believe the will of God, and have faith enough to be moved to action! Do we believe enough that it moves us to action? If we are going to receive (lambano) what God has for us, His promises for our lives, it's going to require us to 1) Know what the will of God is and 2) believe it so much that my actions change - the way I talk, the way I believe, the way I act. "And since we have the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, “I believed and therefore I spoke,” we also believe and therefore speak," II Corinthians 4:13 NKJV "For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us." II Corinthians 1:20 NKJV

1 of 4 Keys to Dispossess Our Enemies - Know What Is Ours to Possess

February 25, 2024 • Chad Everett - Lead Pastor • Deuteronomy 31:1–8, 2 Peter 3:17–18, Luke 2:52, Hosea 4:6, 2 Peter 1:2–4

". . . 𝐇𝐄 𝐖𝐈𝐋𝐋 𝐃𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐑𝐎𝐘 these nations from before you, and you shall dispossess them." Deut 31:3 God destroyed the works of the devil, and we are to take possession by driving out the previous tenant to put out of occupancy and reoccupy. The Enemy's authority has been taken away, so that we can drive our enemies out and once we have driven them out - we reoccupy with the things of God. 𝐊𝐄𝐘 # 𝟏 - 𝐊𝐍𝐎𝐖 𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐈𝐒 𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐒 𝐓𝐎 𝐏𝐎𝐒𝐒𝐄𝐒𝐒 We have to know the will of God to know what we have a right to possess. We must grow in knowledge and understanding of Him. God gave the Israelites their boundaries, and God gives us boundaries and within those boundaries, we must drive out every enemy (pride, selfishness, lust, unforgiveness) that takes up land that belongs to God and is preventing us from experiencing the life that Jesus has for us.

Courage to Possess

January 14, 2024 • Chad Everett - Lead Pastor • Deuteronomy 31:1–8, 1 John 3:8, Romans 8:28–29, Matthew 16:24–26, Colossians 3:8–11

Cross OVER! Drive Out! Take Possession! & Occupy! God instructed Israel how they would move into the Promised Land dependant on Him. God would destroy the enemy that was bigger and stronger than them, AND then the Israelites were to "dispossess" them in cooperation with God. God wants us to possess our Promised Land. Our Promised Land is becoming like JESUS! Our enemy is anything in our life that tries to disconnect us with Jesus. We have the responsibility to dispossess the enemies that Jesus has already overcome by the cross and resurrection of Jesus.
