March is the Month to March
In Egypt, it was His miracles and power that moved you. In the Promised Land, as you move, His power moves with you.
I’ve been hesitating about choosing a day over the past two days.
If I get the timing wrong, many of the things I’m juggling might fall to the ground.
It would cost me dearly.
For things like this, I can’t move without divine instruction.
Last night and again today, I heard the Lord speak the same word to me:
“Whichever day you choose, I will make it happen.”
The dynamic has shifted in this season.
God will bless those who bless you and curse him who curses you.
Whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.
As you move, His power moves with you.
Whichever day you choose, I will make it happen.

Pursued by your enemy vs. pursuing your enemy
Egypt and the Promised Land—two seasons, two strategies, two dynamics to work with God.
What is stopping you at the Jordan River is not what stopped you at the Red Sea.
The way God delivers you from Egypt will not be the way He delivers the Promised Land to you.
The miracles in the Promised Land will not resemble those in Egypt.
When you are in Egypt, you do not know this God well.
But when you come to the Jordan River, you’ve known Him well enough.
In Egypt, your enemy is what is holding you back.
In the Promised Land, your enemy is what is ahead of you.
During the Exodus, you’re broken, overshadowed by fear.
While lingering on this side of the Jordan River, you’re paralyzed by exhaustion.
The only thing that didn’t change—and will never change—is your God.
The same God who delivered you from your enemy will deliver your enemy to you.
In Egypt, you were a slave, and He snatched you out of the hands of your oppressors.
In the Promised Land, you are a conqueror, and your enemy is already dispirited upon your arrival.
The season has changed.
The Exodus strategy will not help you prevail in the Promised Land.
No longer are you pursued by your enemy—now you are pursuing your enemy.
The only thing that can stop you is you—the faded mark of slavery and your exhaustion from years of wandering in the wilderness.
Slaves can’t enter the Promised Land
This is why the first generation of Israelites would not have been able to take the Promised Land, even if they hadn’t died in the wilderness.
Slaves are programmed to be victims and are wired to whine.
Slaves cannot think beyond leeks and onions.
Slaves are used to being forced to work and have no self-motivation to accomplish anything.
Slaves will sell their inheritance for comfort and pleasure.
Slaves do not know how to conquer and occupy. They simply work, eat, sleep, and die—working only because they are forced to.
As soon as no one is whipping them, they lie down like meat on the cutting board called time.
