INTRODUCTION
Have you ever stopped to asked yourself the question, "Why doesn't God take us straight to heaven as soon as we're Born Again?" During this short study we want to investigate some of the reasons for this.
One unique feature of New Covenant Christianity is the fact that we only get one opportunity to make the best of our life for Christ. No one is coming back here to do a better job next time! It's important that we learn what God has for us now and give the Lord 100% in order that He can take us spiritually where He envisions we can be because of what Jesus Christ has done and who He is.
God had an original vision and purpose for the first generation of "exodus Israelites". He clearly stated before He even began to deliver them that He planned to set them free from Egyptian slaver and to take them into Canaan Land. These people experienced the miraculous power of God. The opening of the Red Sea was without question one of the great manifestations of God's awesome power and commitment to His people. One would think that after seeing such a display of power you would be able to believe God for anything! This however was not the case for these people. When they just at the point of entering into the "promised land" they balked in unbelief. They refused to go forward in the will of God. They simply did not believe in God's best for them.
Are we different from that first generation of "exodus Israelites"? Do we see where God is wanting to take us? Are we will to believe that God will take us into our New Covenant Canaan Land of Christlikeness! Will rise up in Jesus name in our generation and move forward in the purposed will of God and allow Him to take us where we've never gone before. Will we allow God to do for us what we can never do for ourselves. Will be believe God for Christlikeness in our generation? Will we be the ones to go in or will God have to wait for another generation of people who will believe him in Canada?
If sharing in the divine nature this side of heaven is a new concept for you then I simply ask you to take your time and prayerfully work through this study series. My the eyes of your heart be opened in Jesus name and may you fully embrace God's best for the here and now and may you blend your voice with the voice of Mary so many years ago. "So let it be done to me as you have spoken".
