Drive out the inhabitants of your past...!

Numbers 33:51-53, 55-56 NKJV

“Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: ‘When you have crossed the Jordan into the land of Canaan, then you shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you, destroy all their engraved stones, destroy all their molded images, and demolish all their high places; you shall dispossess the  inhabitants  of the land and dwell in it, for I have given you the land to possess. But if you do not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you, then it shall be that those whom you let remain shall  be  irritants in your eyes and thorns in your sides, and they shall harass you in the land where you dwell. Moreover it shall be that I will do to you as I thought to do to them.’ ”

Shalom! Day #108. Do you know that once you have step into the promised land of God, you must drive out all the inhabitants of that land first? Let's pray. Father, deal with our hearts. Come set us free from every bondages that's tied us. Cleanse us from inside out that we may dwell and grow and be fruitful in the land that You have brought us to. In Jesus name we ask and pray,  amen!

As I was reading this verse, the Holy Spirit is asking us, how's our "land" today? If read this verse carefully,  you shall see and understand the process of which the Israelites will have to go through. As a believer, we go through confession of our sins, water baptism and new life new creation. But all this doesn't happen just like that. They went through water baptism when they crossed Jordan. They next is that they must drive out all the inhabitants of the land Canaan. We accepted Christ as our Lord anf Savior,  then the next is to be baptized in the water. And after water baptism, we must allow God to clear up the mess in our lives. Just got to allow God to drive out all the inhabitants of our past, our hurts, our disappointments, our worldly lifestyle, everything that's against God and His words, we must allow God to drive it out and destroy it!

Then you shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you, destroy all their engraved stones, destroy all their molded images, and demolish all their high places; you shall dispossess the  inhabitants  of the land and dwell in it, for I have given you the land to possess. God has given us the land to possess, but if we still want to live in our past, then it's going to be a big clash between our flesh and His Spirit. Our spiritual land, our heart is the soil that needs to be worked on. The Holy Spirit must cultivate this land so that every seed of the word of God fall into a fertile soil. So that the seed will grow and bear fruit. But if you do not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you, then it shall be that those whom you let remain shall  be  irritants in your eyes and thorns in your sides, and they shall harass you in the land where you dwell. Moreover it shall be that I will do to you as I thought to do to them. If you never allow God to clean you up, then all your past, your hurts, disappointments,  hatred, anger and so will haunt you and hinder you from growing and progressing in the Lord.

Let this day be the day of the Lord!
