Series: The Inheritance of the Saints
Introduction: A Call to Possess the Land Within — Post 1 of 35
That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing… being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God… giving thanks unto the Father… which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light. — Colossians 1:10–12
A Call to Possess the Land Within
“Go in to possess the land, and the LORD your God shall deliver them before you.” — Deuteronomy 9:3 (KJV)
There is a spiritual land prepared for every believer — a land flowing with milk and honey, not made of soil or stone, but made of Christ Himself. It is a place of victory, communion, rest, and divine purpose. And yet, many believers never possess it. They stand at the edge of the promise but wander still in the wilderness of doubt, fear, and disobedience.
The story of Israel’s exodus and journey through the wilderness was not written for history alone — it was written for us, as a divine pattern of the spiritual life (1 Corinthians 10:11). Just as the children of Israel were delivered from Egypt by the blood of the lamb, so we too are delivered from sin and death through the blood of Jesus. But deliverance is only the beginning. God did not merely save them from Pharaoh — He called them to inherit a land.
And so it is with us. We are not saved merely to escape hell — we are saved to apprehend Christ and possess the good land (Christ).
“I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.” — Philippians 3:12 (KJV)
Christ laid hold of us for a purpose: to conform us to His image, to fill us with Himself, and to bring us into full fellowship and fruitfulness. But this purpose must be pursued. It must be fought for. It must be possessed.
The Land Must Be Taken.
And yet, between Egypt and Canaan lies the wilderness. It is a place of testing, refining, and revelation. It is here that we learn the futility of our flesh and the faithfulness of our God. It is here we discover the giants still dwelling in the land — fear, lust, pride, wounds, bitterness, bondage, and unbelief.
These enemies will not move out on their own. They must be driven out by spiritual warfare — not by the strength of man, but by the Word of God, by the cross of Christ, and by the Spirit’s power.
This series, Inheritance of the Saints, is for the believer who refuses to die in the wilderness.
It is for the one who senses that there is more — who knows the promises of God are not empty words, but a call to a victorious, Christ-filled life.
You will see that possessing the land is not merely a metaphor — it is a process. A battle. A covenant inheritance. We will trace the spiritual map that leads from bondage to blessing, from defeat to dominion. And we will walk with those who went before us — through the desert, across the Jordan, and into the land of promise.
Let us not settle for less than full possession. Let us rise up and fight — not in our strength, but in His. There is a land before you, dear reader. Christ is that land. And it is time to possess it.
