Jerry emphasizes that our Lord Jesus Christ is in complete control and fully aware of every detail in our lives and His work in these days. Drawing from Ezekiel 40:4, he highlights God's desire to recover His people during desperate times, urging believers to set their hearts on what the Lord reveals to them. He stresses the importance of beholding Christ with our eyes, hearing His words, and engraving His message deep into our hearts, recognizing that God's purpose is to recover and prepare a glorious bride for His Son. Using Joshua as an example, Jerry recounts the history of Israel’s journey from Egypt to the promised land, emphasizing that the land belongs to God and was set apart for His people to experience His full blessing and purpose. He explains that in Christ, believers possess an eternal inheritance, which requires actively entering into and possessing Christ Himself—our true promised land—by faith and spiritual warfare. Jerry advocates a militant, determined spirit to overcome obstacles, including fear, unbelief, and fleshly desires, urging believers to walk daily in the cross, deny self, and trust in Christ’s victory. He underscores that possessing Christ is a collective effort, vital for the maturity of the church and the fulfillment of God's full purpose, culminating in the heavenly bride of Revelation. Ultimately, he calls believers to pursue God's full thought for their lives and the church, trusting in His sovereignty and grace to bring them into spiritual fullness.

4 And the man said unto me, Son of man, behold with thine eyes, and hear with thine ears, and set thine heart upon all that I shall shew thee; for to the intent that I might shew them unto thee art thou brought hither: declare all that thou seest to the house of Israel.
1 Now after the death of Moses the servant of the LORD it came to pass, that the LORD spake unto Joshua the son of Nun, Moses’ minister, saying, 2 Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I do give to them, even to the children of Israel. 3 Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses.
