The Lord has given you the land! Possess it! Go in armed ready for war!’ (Deuteronomy 3:18). It is God’s command, not a request, to go and take the land! I see this as a challenge in my personal life as well as in my ministry in Russia. Many ask why I see miracles of healing, thousands repent, and revival comes.
When God sent me to Russia He said, ‘GO – take the land!’ There is no choice – He commanded me!
What does it mean to ‘possess’ the land? Look at it by faith – take it by action – fight for it by power!
When I look at the promises of God, and the Bible is full of them, I want all the good things – so I have been going in and taking them! Power for miracles and healing, I’m in there, taking it! Anointing from the Holy Spirit, yes I pray, then I go in and take it! Revival – again I go and possess the promise. I want to challenge you to a new kind of faith. We are commanded to go in and possess all the blessings which God has promised. Get into the Word of God, search for and mark every promise that you want in your life in red – then every promise you don’t want, cross it out – no, NO!! I want you to have the faith to go and take them ALL!
How to Possess God’s Promises: Lessons from Deuteronomy 3:18
In the biblical context of Deuteronomy 3:18, God issues a mandate to "possess the land." This is not a suggestion – it is a divine command that applies to modern ministry and personal spiritual growth. To see miracles, revival, and healing, one must transition from passive belief to active possession.
The Three Pillars of Spiritual Possession
To "possess" what God has promised requires a three-fold approach:
Vision (Faith): You must look at the promise and see it as already yours.
Action (Initiative): You must physically and spiritually "go in" to claim the territory.
Power (Warfare): You must be armed and ready to fight for the breakthrough.
Applying the "Take the Land" Mandate in Ministry
In Russia and across the globe, revival is often the result of obedience to God's direct command: "GO – take the land!" Possession is the difference between wanting a miracle and experiencing one.
Miracles and Healing: These are not random occurrences; they are promises to be seized through bold faith.
The Holy Spirit Anointing: Prayer is the preparation, but possession is the act of stepping into that power.
National Revival: Taking a land for God requires a "warrior" mindset – refusing to back down until the promise is manifest.
Don't pick and choose. God’s command is to possess all the blessings He has promised. Stop waiting for a request and start responding to the command.
