Jeremy Johnson - Promised Land

The Pioneering Church

We're so grateful for the pioneers and revivalists of the past but God is calling those in this generation to help bring His kingdom to earth!
To the level we honor God, is the level that we'll experience His glory. And the way we honor, is the way we'll perceive Him! For that reason Joshua and Caleb were able to make it through to the end. Despite the giants they faced, despite standing out from the crowd, and despite the battles, they always knew how to Honor God.We have been called to pioneer in this generation but that will come with a few challenges:1. Pioneering will cause us to breakout of old mindsets, that keep us trapped in Egypt.2. God might not give us the full picture but the giants in our promise land were left behind so we can lean on God.3. Sometimes God allows things so that He can prepare us for endurance. Because it is our character that produces hope!4. God is not creating slaves. He is creating sons because sons get to be a part of the journey.Know that it'll be hard. Deliverance was instant but freedom is a process that will cost us everything! Don't quit in the middle of stepping into your promise land because of the giants you've seen but embrace the spirit of love, power, and a sound mind.Application: Where in your life did you stop because you saw "giants" that seemed unconquerable to you? How can you begin to see the God of the giants in that situation today?Prayer: Father, I thank you for the spirit of love, power & a sound mind that will help me get through the wilderness into the next season. I pray that I leave old habits and mindsets behind and that I will press into you through the pain. I want to pioneer for you! In Jesus name, Amen.
