<TITLE>07. Par 21-22</TITLE>L-21 Now, Joshua had no way to knowing he could take that city. Caleb had no way of knowing it. But here's how they believed it, because God said, "I have given you this land. I've got an Angel that'll go before you; but take heed that you don't despise Him because My Name is in Him. He won't pardon your sins; He will tear you across the--the fireplace; He will ruffle up your feathers. He will--He will do things for you. But remember, follow Him. He will lead you to the promised land. But don't despise him, don't reject him. Believe him."
Now, and then we notice, and in the journey Joshua had found out that he'd seen that great God living there in that Pillar of Fire, had performed all kinds of miracles. He and Caleb had seen that, and they had confidence that God would keep His Word. Watch God, way down in Egypt, "I've given you the land; now go and possess it."

L-22 God's given every sick person in here Divine healing, every one of you. Jesus was wounded for our transgressions; with His stripes we were healed. It's yours. But you'll have to fight for every inch you possess. "Everywhere the soles of your feet travel," God told Joshua--Joshua, "I have given you." Footprints means possession. Let's move in tonight. Amen. Let's go in. Footprints is possession. Let's take every inch of ground that God give us. If you haven't got the baptism of the Holy Ghost, Peter said, "The promise is unto you, and to your children, to them that's far off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call." Footprints is possession. Let's go get it. It's ours. "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever," let's possess it. "The works that I do, shall you also." Let's possess it. It's God's promise. Don't look at the circumstances. Don't look how hard it is. Let's possess the land.
We'll have a meeting, like this morning we were having a meeting there, and the Holy Ghost falling in the place, the people screaming, shouting, praising the Lord; and then someone come up and said, "Pray for me, Brother Branham." I laid hands on him and prayed for him. I said, "Now, go and believe."
Now, here's what it is; it's easy to feel the power of God, to see it when you believe. But then when it comes to the showdown, are you able to possess the thing that you profess to have? That's the thing, brother. We've got to get it; we've got to take it; it's ours; but you'll fight for every inch.
