In the pages of this book we will explore Isaac's process of
seeking to find and discover for himself the God of his father
Abraham. Our foundational Scripture for this book is found in
Genesis 26: Then Isaac dug again the wells of water which had been
dug in the days of his father Abraham, for the Philistines had
stopped them up after the death of Abraham; and he gave them the
same names which his father had given them. Genesis 26:18-19 Isaac
was experiencing blessing in his own life, and others around him
were recognizing that he was enjoying God's blessing. Abraham had
died and Isaac had been given his inheritance; and we find that
"after the death of Abraham, that God blessed his son Isaac; and
Isaac lived by Beer-lahai-roi" (Genesis 25:11). Abimelech and
others around began to recognize that Isaac was living in God's
favor; however, Isaac was trying to find his own way. He was trying
to come to the realization that indeed God was there for him like
He had been for his father Abraham. So we find that Isaac dug again
the wells of his father which had been covered by the Philistines.
To cover a well in ancient times was a declaration of war. The
nourishment and provision that Abraham had opened and had made
available to his family had been eliminated. When Isaac found
himself in that same region he felt the need to re-open those
wells. Something inside of him wanted to declare that the
Philistines - the enemy - could not intimidate or control him.
Isaac felt the need to find again the well, the living water that
had been discovered by his father, and that was the rightful
possession of the people of God. We will explore the journey of
discovery experienced by Isaac. From that journey we will consider
in our own lives the journey of discovering the provision of God
our Father for ourselves. He who believes in Me, as the Scripture
said, 'From his innermost being will flow rivers of living water.'
John 7:38 The promise is that from within will flow the nourishing,
provisional and spiritual waters from God. For some reading this,
you can remember how those waters flowed in your father or mother.
You can remember a time when you enjoyed those waters, and there is
something inside of you that wants to dig and re-discover those
waters again today in your own life. Like Isaac, however, the
digging and searching for what you remember is not going to be an
easy journey. But for the one who continues to the end, you will
discover, like Isaac, the blessing and presence of God. And you
will discover the beauty of God, making the personal connection in
your life that declares He is your God and not just the God of
those who have gone before you. So let us embark on this journey
together as we just keep digging.
At the age of eight, Josiah took his place on the throne as King in
Jerusalem. It began the fulfillment of the prophetic destiny that
had been established for and about Josiah over three-hundred years
earlier. He reigned as king for thirty-one years, and in that time
he led the nation and the people through a time of revival and
reconnection with God and God's ways. This book explores how Josiah
carried the torch for revival, and draws on some principles from
his reign that we can apply to see God bring a great revival in our
day as well. When destiny overtakes reality there is a powerful
thing that happens. It is time for you to step into your destiny
today.
God had given a promise to Abraham that his descendants would
possess a vast land (see Genesis 12). As time passed, it began to
seem less possible for the descendants of Abraham to receive their
promised inheritance. They spent years in slavery in Egypt until
God raised up Moses as a deliverer. As they journeyed from their
place of bondage to their land of inheritance, it was necessary for
them to defeat the armies that inhabited the land they had been
promised to be given as their possession. In Joshua we read that
the children of Israel defeated thirty-one kings in order to
inherit their promise. From the names of those cities we will
consider our own keys to inheriting God's promise. From the
definition of these cities we will draw out a thirty-one key
devotional journey to our inheritance. Some of the keys will
involve what we must overcome or gain victory over; other keys will
be principles or characteristics that are important for us to
embrace. Together we can discover and use the keys, enabling us to
possess our promised inheritance.
