                    Drive Out the Enemy

Joshua 16 
 
The promises are in your grasp.  I am a faithful God. You have been 
patient in receiving your inheritance.  I hand it to you most eagerly.  

But, I still see the thing you cling to.  The thing that will come 
back to haunt you.  My children, you are failing to drive out the 
ungodly occupants of the land.  You are accepting your shortcomings 
and weaknesses as fact.  You and your territory are planned for a 
"nothing less than perfect" destiny.  For I know the plans I have 
for you.  My perfect will for you does not include settling for the 
"good enough."  You must desire the same excellence I have purposed 
for all my children.  Do not accept the road blocks.  Do not accept 
the thing that slows you down.  

I have more than enough power and grace to help you defeat the enemy's 
persistence.  You must open your eyes and recognize the lie he has 
embedded in your inheritance, your territory.  Take the authority I have 
given you and drive the enemy out of your promise land.
