PROMISED LAND
There remains therefore a rest for the people
of God.
HEBREWS 4:9 NKJV
Gods purpose for His people is that they live in the same
condition and environment as He does.
That is a place of peace, plenty, prosperity and utter joy.
The Pattern Prayer taught us by the Master has at its
heart: Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth as it
is in heaven.
God wants heaven replicated on earth.
There is no death or sickness in heaven.
There is no sin in heaven.
There is no poverty in heaven.
There is no rat race or economic slavery in heaven.
Yahweh took Israel out of slavery in Egypt to the
Promised Land.
The Promised Land was a type of heaven.
It was to be a place where they would have -according to
Gods Word in Deuteronomy 6:11 -houses full of all good
things, which you did not fill, and cisterns dug out, which
you did not dig, vineyards and olive trees, which you did
not plant, and you shall eat and be full.
Sweatless prosperity is Gods best for His people. This
actually goes against our work hard if you want to get
ahead culture. We have mistaken hard work for diligent
work all too often. Diligent work is effort applied with
wisdom, not just labour for labours sake.
The blessing of Jehovah, it makes rich, with
no sorrow added.
PROVERBS 10:22 VW
As Gods people we are supposed to live in the land of
blessing, not the land of hard labour.
Why would God deliver us from the rat race only to
impose a life of drudgery upon us? The answer is, He
doesnt!
Dont misunderstand this. God hates laziness and you
can find out the reward for laziness the hard way by
being lazy. Or you can read the Book of Proverbs and
avoid sloth like the plague.
The truth is that we are to live as kings and queens in life.
Kings and queens dont need to do menial, pointless
work for a living.
Theres nothing wrong with doing work that tires you and
leaves you drained. Especially if your work involves a lot
of physical exertion, such as a builder or farmer.
Doing what you love is not work. It is you being you i.e.
the you that you were called to be.
There remains a rest for the people of God.
This means God wants you to live in your own Promised
Land, not in the wilderness.
The rest is there. The Promised Land is available. God is
not withholding it from you.
What you need to do is enter into it.
It means that fear and the love of money are the same
thing!
Now look at this:
Then he carried me away in the Spirit into
the wilderness. I saw a woman sitting on a
scarlet beast which was full of blasphemous
names, having seven heads and ten horns.
The woman was arrayed in purple and
scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious
stones and pearls, having in her hand a
golden cup full of abominations and the filth
of her sexual immorality. On her forehead a
name was written:
MYSTERY,
BABYLON THE GREAT,
THE MOTHER OF PROSTITUTES
AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
REVELATION 17:3-5 MEV
It is plainly evident here that Babylon is the source of the
abominations of the earth. In Revelation chapter 18 we
are told that Babylon is a dwelling place of demons, a
haunt for every unclean spirit and a haunt for every
unclean and hateful bird. We are also told that all the
nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her
fornication.
Clearly Babylon is another term for that which is the
source of all evil, wickedness and sin on planet earth.
