I Have Passed Through

by Chad Taylor

Hear this O My people, the Ark of My presence has passed through the camp. The officers have made the cry of, "PREPARE!" How long will you tarry there? How long will you tarry on the other side of the Jordan? How long will you continue to eat the old manna? Now is the time to eat the fruit of Canaan. Now is the time to take the city in My name. Now is the time to cross over. (Joshua 1:11)

The Ark of My presence has passed through the camp. Now you must arise from your places of rest and "...GO AFTER IT!" (Joshua 3:3) Follow Me and I will make you fishers of men. Follow me and you will deliver the nations. Follow Me and I will give the heathen for your inheritance. Follow Me and you will be filled with My presence. Follow Me and you will possess the land. Follow Me and you will do exploits. Follow Me. (Joshua 3:5)

"And Joshua said to the children of Israel, 'How long will you neglect to go and possess the land which the Lord God of your fathers has given you?'" (Joshua 18:3)

How long will you be slack to go and possess the land that I have given you? How long will you tarry to arise and go into Samaria and demonstrate My glory? I have given you so much and yet you do so little. I have sown into you much yet you reap little. You have put your wealth into bags with holes, but I the Lord have called you to invest in hearts. Hearts will be the guarantee that fails not in the coming days says the Lord. (Luke 12:34)

The season of plowing has ended. The time of harvest is upon you. The reaper shall overtake the sower. It is time to put your hand to the plow and fix your eyes ahead. Like flint will be your face in the coming days. You will not draw back in this hour, you will break the banks of the river and cross over. You will possess the land that I have given you. (Joshua 1:3)

I have passed through the camp calling out, "FOLLOW ME!" I have passed through the multitude calling you. Will you take up your bed and walk? Will you heed and obey the call? For the time will come when they will not give heed to sound doctrine. They will depart from the truth. Now is the time to build the house of David, built on the foundation of Christ. On this Rock you will stand and the gates of hell will not prevail against you. (Matthew 16:18)
