You can have what God promised you
Do you have a promise that the devil has been fighting you for? Are you afraid to step out and do what God has spoken to you? Your enemy, the devil, will tell that you canât have what God says is yours. He will whisper in your ear that you donât deserve it, itâs too late, or itâs too hard of a thing to hope for.
He uses our fears and weakness to try to get us settle for less than Godâs best. Like Sarah and Abraham who grew weary while waiting, and so used Hagar to birth Ishmael because they thought it was too late for there to be an Isaac, and then ended up in recurrent war against the flesh, the enemy wants you to do the same.
Though their efforts in the flesh didnât stop God from bringing the promise to pass it brought about a continual war between the good thing and the God-thing, as it is to this day.
There is a better way! The Lord has this Word for you today:
Be strong and courageous; for you shall inherit what I promised I would give to you. Only be strong and very courageous, being careful to do according I have commanded you. Do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, so that you may have good success wherever you go.  Let not my Word depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be diligent to do according to all that I have spoken to you. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go. Joshua 1:6-9 (revisions -mine)
If you will He will
Continue to meditate on His Word of promise to you, be strong and courageous; donât allow fear to make you faint, wait on God, and know that He is with you.
Beloved, if you will do these things God spoke to Joshua and He is speaking to us today through the Scriptures, then He will fulfill His Word of promises to you.

I’m glad it helped you. Sometimes I step out there to share and my prayer is always that as I make myself vulnerable by sharing what the Lord puts on my heart it will help others. This is reward in itself for writing.
