Episode 06: Transitions and Promise Lands
Check out the newest episode of Behold Women: At the Table below!
In this episode of Behold Women: At the Table, Allie takes some time to share about transitions and promise lands. In specifically looking at the book of Joshua, we talk about four things that are important to keep in mind as you step into the promises of God.
Some important takeaways:
We are called to honor the secret place.
Before we get Joshua as the leader of the Israelites, we see Joshua as a servant.
Joshua didn't honor the secret place to get something from God. He honored the secret place because he loved the Presence of God and was hungry for more of Him.
To step into our promise lands we have to let go of what we're comfortable with.
When we are obedient to man, we do what we are comfortable with. But when we are obedient to God, we do what is uncomfortable.
As we inhabit our promises and transition into our promise lands, what got us through the wilderness seasons of our lives may not be what sustains us through our promise lands. We want to leave the wilderness mindsets in the wilderness.
We are called to stay in a posture of remembrance.
We are called to live in a state of remembering what the Lord has done for us. We want to remember the words the Lord has spoken over us, we want to remember the miracles He has performed in our lives, and, most importantly, we want to remember the finished work of the cross.
When we are in seasons of transition and we are called to step into our promise lands, we have to step into what is. There is action on our end.
We can't inhabit our promises from a distance - we have to walk into our promises knowing that it is God who has ultimately brought them to pass.
