In this evening's message, Lance emphasizes the importance of understanding our dependence on the Holy Spirit for spiritual growth and revelation. He reflects on the lives of key Old Testament figures—Moses, Joshua, David, and Solomon—to illustrate God's purpose for His people: to inherit their promised land and build a sanctuary for God. Lance highlights that Moses represents preparation, while Joshua signifies the realization of God's promises. He stresses that salvation is not merely about being saved but about entering into the fullness of God’s inheritance. The journey through the wilderness symbolizes the need for believers to experience the richness of Christ. Lance warns against the dangers of ignorance, unbelief, and sin, which can hinder believers from possessing their spiritual inheritance. He also discusses the significance of David's kingship and Solomon's wisdom in building the house of God, emphasizing that true kingship involves conflict and reliance on God. Ultimately, Lance calls for believers to recognize their identity in Christ, to reign with Him, and to actively participate in building the house of the Lord, which is central to God's plan for humanity.
12 That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
2 The LORD is my strength and song, and he is become my salvation: he is my God, and I will prepare him an habitation; my father’s God, and I will exalt him.
13 Thou in thy mercy hast led forth the people which thou hast redeemed: thou hast guided them in thy strength unto thy holy habitation.
9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. 10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:
18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. 19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
