Session 2 of Word and Spirit Sunday with guest minister, Pastor Ike Akabogu.

Session 1 of Word and Spirit Sunday with guest minister, Pastor Ike Akabogu.

In this message, Pastor Dale ministers on how God does not intend for our possession of His promises to be a temporary victory. His will is for us to occupy and dwell long-term in all that He has made available to us. However, we must actively defend against the enemy's attempts to regain control of the spiritual territory we now occupy. Do not be tempted to move out of your position. Establish a strong foundation in the Word, build a wall of faith, and allow yourself to develop deep roots in the things of God. When Satan attempts a come back, put up a permanent "no vacancy" sign by meeting him at the door with the Sword of the Spirit and putting him to flight.

In this message, Pastor Dale discusses the importance of addressing any “giants” that oppose or hinder our spiritual progress. Just as the children of Israel were required to drive out the giants who inhabited the Promised Land, born-again believers must also drive out any giants and tear down any enemy strongholds attached to their old lives. No matter how loud or how longstanding, these hindrances must go if we are to move into and fully occupy all God has promised us as His children.

In this message, Pastor Dale ministers on how God’s will is for us to move in and “make ourselves at home” in all that He has promised. However, to accomplish this we must first dispossess the enemy from any areas he is attempting to occupy in our lives. By actively resisting, we are able to drive the enemy out of what is rightfully ours. It does not matter how strong, how longstanding, or how numerous his strongholds might appear. Satan is merely a squatter. In Christ, we hold the title deed, and through Him we have the power to dispossess the enemy. Now is the time to serve Satan an eviction notice and take possession of ALL the territory to which God has given you the keys.

In this message, Pastor Dale ministers on the importance of exercising active faith in order to take possession of all that God has promised us in His Word. Passively "waiting on the Lord" is not enough. We must actively engage in possessing / taking what God has provided to us. In Christ, we have been given dominion. However, it is still our responsibility to take initiative and go after all that is ours by "treading out the territory" and resisting the enemy by knowing, cooperating with, and declaring God's Word.
