We too take possession of our inheritance by faith. Yahweh is our portion and He
says we can have as much of Him as we want. Do we want to know Him as provider?
Then we must enter in by faith. We must drive out the enemy. What enemy is
inhabiting the land of provision. For me, it has been fear. There have been giants of
fear who have taken up residence in this land that was promised to me. I must drive
them out. I must battle fear and overcome. Only then will I dwell peacefully in the
land of Yahweh Yireh.

In Exodus 15:26 we find Yahweh described as Yahweh Rapha, ‘Yahweh who heals
you.’ If we want to go in and possess this portion of our inheritance, we must also
battle by faith to enter in and drive out the inhabitants. I have described how Yahweh
spoke to me and said He would heal my son of a hereditary bone disease. To receive
the promise I had to exercise faith. The battle was the Lord’s, but I had to follow
where He led and do what He said. This is also what the Israelites had to do.

We should note that Yahweh did not lead the Israelites to do the same thing at every
battle. To take Jericho they had to march around the city for seven days, and on the
seventh day they had to march around it seven times. They did all this while
remaining silent. After marching around the seventh time they were to blow
trumpets and shout, and the massive walls of Jericho came tumbling down. What an
awesome scene that must have been. Like a thousand bombs going off at once, the
wall was destroyed and the people were given into the hands of the Israelites.

At the battle for the next city, Ai, God gave different instructions. It was fought more
along the lines of a conventional battle. God told the Israelites which tribe was to
lead in battle, and where they were to position themselves. In the same way God
leads us by His Spirit to go in and possess the land before us today. He told me
exactly what I must do to receive the promise of healing for my son. When I did it the
promise was mine. I followed in faith and obedience and He wrought a great
deliverance. When He said He would be health for my entire family He also
instructed me in what to do. When I did it the inheritance was mine. We planted our
feet in the land of Yahweh Rapha, stood against the enemy, and the enemy had to
flee.

After this the Spirit told us that He wanted us to take possession of Yahweh Yireh,
Yahweh our provider. A tremendous battle of faith ensued, and it is still continuing
to this day. We are in the land. We are experiencing the provision of Yahweh on our
behalf, yet not all of the inhabitants have gone peacefully. They keep making raids
into the land to try to drive us back out, but as we stand in faith God will not allow
us to be moved.

A couple months ago the Spirit spoke to me to go in and possess a third part of our
