You can if you refuse to give up. If you're listening to this, I want you to watch closely. We read in Hebrews 11 eight by Faith Abraham obeyed God and set out to a place that he was to receive as an inheritance. Now we read about this place throughout scripture. It is called the Land of Canaan, often referred to as a land flowing with milk and honey. It is a great and glorious place. But Abraham was not the first one to receive God's call to journey into the promised land, as we see in Genesis Chapter 12. A little before that, in Genesis Chapter 11 verse thirty-one, we see Terah, the father of Abraham, setting out on a journey from Ur of Chaldeans to the Land of Canaan.

We do not know why or how or for what purpose, but he stops at the land of Harran and they do not journey any further. They settle at Haran. Why am I talking about Abraham and his father Terah? Listen to this. God has a promised land for each one of us. We have a dream, a desire. We have a God given purpose for each of our lives. You are probably still in Ur of Chaldeans like Abraham's father. Maybe you have not started on your journey yet. Or maybe you knew your purpose and you began your journey toward that dream. Or maybe you just settle down at Harran and never proceeded further.

I want you to know God is calling you. God has a purpose for you, and God will give you the strength and the resources to fulfill the purpose that he has for you in your life. Jeremiah twenty-nine eleven God says, for I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord, and I want you to connect to the Word of God to know what God has for you, because God will make a way for you to fulfill everything that He has called you to do because he is faithful, not because you and I deserve God's grace, but because he is loving and merciful to make away where there is no way.

And I want to speak over your life. The words of Jesus we read in the Gospel of John. Chapter five was eight Jesus looking at a paralyzed man who is lying down in the same place for thirty-eight years. Right? I do not know how long you are stuck in your life with whatever circumstances or relationship or a career, whatever it is that you are stuck with. I am speaking the words of Jesus to you over your life. Get up, take up your bed and walk.

It does not matter how long you have been stuck. Thirty-eight years, the man was paralyzed and here is Jesus speaking to him. Rise up and walk. Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever. And God's Word is power and God's Word is life. And God's Word is coming your way today. Stop procrastinating. Whatever the dream and purpose that God has put in your heart in your life, pick up your mat and walk and pursue it. May the Lord give you wisdom and strength.

James chapter one we read, those who lack wisdom must ask God for it, and He will give it to you. If you do not know where to get started, get started with the Word of God and God would speak to you and direct you in which way you should go. God would give you the wisdom that you need to do all that you are called to do.

Again, let me remind you of Hebrews eleven, eight. By faith, Abraham obeyed God. And I want you to take up God on this offer by faith, obey God, pursue him, study his word, and allow him to guide you and direct your steps every step of the way until you reach your promised land. Let's pray.

Father, we thank you that you are a good and merciful father. And we thank you, Lord, for the promises that we have in your word. Give us the grace, give us the wisdom and give us the courage to look to you at all times. No matter what circumstances may surround us, help us know that you are stronger and you are above every problem. Your name is above every other name that you are almighty, and there is nothing that is impossible for you. In Jesus name. Amen.
