Moses is preparing the people to finally appropriate what God had promised for so long. Ahead lay great blessings, but also intimidating challenges. In Deuteronomy 31.3 he gives them guidance for the journey with three aspects: God Himself goes before you. He will give you victory over every challenge. And you will possess it. The first two give the assurance of His leading and victory. But the last portion is a reminder of our responsibility to possess what God has provided.

Moses is preparing the people to finally appropriate what God had promised for so long. Ahead lay great blessings, but also intimidating challenges.
In Deuteronomy 31.3 he gives them guidance for the journey with three aspects: God Himself goes before you. He will give you victory over every challenge. And you will possess it.
The first two give the assurance of His leading and victory. But the last portion is a reminder of our responsibility to possess what God has provided.
To possess or inherit is an active involvement in authoritatively seizing what God is providing. It emphasizes our role, in partnership with God.
Elena realized how important it was to apply it. She has been facing setbacks, resistance and even some personal attacks in her business endeavor.
While we were talking, she quickly grasped the value and immediately responded with the application. “I bring the problem to the Lord. I am faithful to the direction He gives, and He brings the victory.”
We take the challenge by faith to the Lord with the expectation that He will lead and go before us by giving direction specific to the issue. As we are faithful to respond to that direction, He brings about a breakthrough outcome greater and more perfect than we can envision.
Rather than struggling to find and bring resolution, Elena’s responsibility was to approach Him with the confidence that He would lead and direct her. And His victory would result.
One of the great disconnects is people of the kingdom, who believe and desire to see God’s power released into situations, but then failing to recognize and bring the application.
Increasingly Spiritual maturity comes with the recognition of our responsibility to possess what God provides through the power of application. The realization that in our partnership with God, each plays a specific role.
God wants to show Himself strong on our behalf, but He has delegated the responsibility to possess His promises and blessings to us.
Recognize that God goes before you into the challenge, great or small, leading the way. He defeats every challenge, giving us complete victory. But it is our responsibility to seize it by His direction.

You think it will never happen to you, but the call seemed straight forward enough. By all appearances it was from management with a simple request. It even sounded like her boss and caller ID showed the correct number. In retrospect, the call was timed perfectly to coincide with the pressure of the morning rush. There was no time to contemplate the request, but to quickly login and confirm the information needed. The result was a $2,000 loss for the company.

David is on the cusp of the fulfillment of his destiny; but he doesn't know that yet. First, he will face one of the greatest challenges of his life. The Amalekites have raided and carried away their wives, children and all their possessions. What they couldn't carry away, they burned. David and his men return to find their lives reduced to ashes. Anguish turns to anger and David fears for his very life. He has lost everything and even his men have turned against him.

Joshua's instructions to the people as they prepared to cross the Jordan river was to follow the Ark, the symbol of God's presence, because they had never been that way before. They were entering into new challenges that by God's leading would result in incredible blessings such as homes they hadn't built and fields they hadn't planted. Prophetically and practically, we are facing profound structural shifts that are altering our basic assumptions about prosperity, the economy and decision making. They require us to follow the Spirit closely since we haven't been this way before.
