The conquering life is one of pressing forward, pressing forward, pressing forward. We never give up. When we stumble we get up, with the Lord's help, and press on. This relentless attitude leads to victory.

We put down the sole of our foot, as the Lord leads. Then He gives us dominion over that area. We have to move. If we cease moving forward, no more conquest takes place.

There are times when God "puts us in prison" and no apparent movement is occurring. Even then there are areas of conquest if we keep looking to the Lord and do not give place to discouragement or self-pity.

From the wilderness and this Lebanon even unto the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your coast. (Joshua 1:4)

The Lord assigned the geographical boundaries of the land of promise. God told the Israelites He would give them all the territory on which they set their feet. However, He defined the territory in advance.

So it is with us. God knows where He wants us to go. He works with us in order to confirm His plan for our lives. We press toward the mark the Lord has established.

There is no greater joy than to seek the will of God for our life. As we do, God gives us enough faith to accomplish that for which we have been called. As we move ahead our eyes are lifted up to behold a horizon of glory that exceeds all we could ever ask or think.

God described the land of promise of the Hebrews. What about the members of the Body of Christ? What is our land of promise?

Our land of promise is "all things."

He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. (Revelation 21:7)

Our land of promise is the spiritual throne that governs the universe.

To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne. (Revelation 3:21)

Speaking of "man," the Scripture states:

Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. . . . (Hebrews 2:8)

"All things" refers to the material creation, to all God has created—the works of His hands. "My throne" refers to the fullness of authority and power of Christ over all things.

Therefore the land of promise, the inheritance of the victorious saint, is spiritual rulership over the material creation.

Man was created to be the throne of God.

The inheritance of the Lord Jesus Christ is the nations and the farthest reaches of the earth (Psalms 2:8).

The inheritance of the saint, because he is a coheir with Christ, is the nations and the farthest reaches of the earth.

There are parts of the earth today that the demons still claim for their own, there being no Christian testimony in that place. However, no area of the earth belongs to the demons. All of the earth is the inheritance of the saints of the most high God.

To be continued.
