God's Holy People - Being Formed as God's Army to Enter and Possess the Good Land

The journey of the children of Israel in the wilderness is a type of us as God's people in this age. Have you ever tought that God wants to save us as His chosen people so that we may enter into the good land which is typified by Christ.

One of the reasons the first generation of the children of Israel did not enter into the good land is because of their having an evil heart of unbelief. Therefore God did not allow them to enter and cause them to wander the wilderness for 40 years until all of the first generation perished in the wilderness. Only Johsua and Caleb from the first generation went into the good land of Canaan.

Using the following illustration, we can say that God wants us to enter into Christ as the good land. However to enter into the good land, we need to have faith in God and to put off our old man so that we, as the new creation can enter into the good land. Let us all follow God's will, stand for God's interest on this earth, and have faith in God in this evil and perverted age.

To You, dear Lord

To You, dear Lord, I give myself afresh again Unsparingly for Your desire, Your economy. O, fire from above, Come and consume me thoroughly That You may be my all, My life, my everything. It's Your mercy and Your love That I can give myself to You. Since it's in like manner That You gave up Yourself for me. Set Your throne in my heart From now on to the very end. It takes eternity to know its worth To You, to me. Author: Hyram Ting Composer: Hyram Ting May the Lord gain our heart so that he may gain His heart's desire. -2 Tim 2:22-

2010 Fall South West College Conference at Latham Springs

Eph. 3:10-11 : 10 in order that now to the rulers and authorities in the heavenlies the multifarious wisdom of God might be made known through the church, 11 According to the eternal purpose which He made in Christ Jesus our Lord, The church is not something thought of by God after man's fall. The church is actually purposed in God's heart even from eternity past. Regardless of what happens, God still wants a group of people to express Him and glorify Him. However, man fell and God had to recover man back to Himself. Thus through incarnation, human living, crucifixion, resurrection, and becoming the life-giving Spirit - this processed Triune God can now enter into our human spirit and make home in our hearts. This is the goal of God's economy, from eternity past to eternity future, to gain a group of people joined and knit together to become the universal Body of Christ. Hallelujah!
