Let’s take the land! The land that God has given us;
In all our living, Christ can be so much:
To take this land, we have th’ equipment that we need—
The blood, the Word, the Spirit, and the church.

Be strong and take it, for we can make it
And gain this land so glorious!
Brothers:

And to these things give earnest heed.
The Lord implores us; He’s gone before us
And given everything we need!

We have the blood! Christ is our spotless offering,
Who gave Himself, our God to satisfy;
And so we come with boldness to the throne of grace,
And all day long, the precious blood apply.

We have the Word! The written Word’s our daily food;
We mix this Word with faith and say “Amen!”
Then thro’ the day, the spoken Word will speak to us
And regulate our living from within.

The Spirit’s ours! The Spirit of reality,
He’s independent of the way we feel;
He dwells in us, and teaches us to dwell in Him,
And guides us into everything that’s real.

And He to us our everything will be.

It is so important to see the picture of the Israelites and the good land from the Old Testament . The good land with all its riches are a shadow of the church receiving Christ and His riches. The Israelites had to fight to take the land and to remove the enemies and idols from it. We must also fight for Christ’s gain in us and the church.
That land is Christ! He is our goal. We must gain this Christ. This is our life’s journey it is likened to a race. He will be our prize.
There are only a very few hymns about taking the land. It is something we need to pursue. It is something we need struggle to take. It is the gaining ing of Christ in our daily walk. It is more than redemption (being saved) it is us gaining Christ and Christ gaining our heart. We need the church to have this vision. Then we can live in it by putting on the church life! We have what we need for this journey, our Christian life. [the blood , the word, the Spirit, and thee church]!

Amen!
In Genesis, in creation God raised the Land out of the death waters. In the Old Testament the Land was a portion of the birthright. Colossians 1:11 we have been qualified for a portion of the saints in the light. Our right is to participate in this Divine One. There is an open gate, the Tree of Life, the all inclusive Christ our good Land.
We can only overcome in HIM!

Praise the Lord we have the Spirit! It doesn’t matter how we feel—the Spirit is ours and dwells in us! He’s guiding us into all that’s real!

Joshua 1:6 "Be strong and take courage, for you will cause this people to inherit the land which I swore to their fathers to give to them."
Joshua 1:3, footnote 1:
On the one hand, God had given Israel the good land; on the other hand, Israel still needed to take the land by rising up to fulfill God’s commission. In order for God to regain the earth from the usurping hand of Satan, God’s people needed to be in full cooperation and coordination with God...
