When you think of Halfway what do you think of?

ARE YOU ALL IN OR HALFWAY IN?

When you think of Halfhearted what do you think of?

Have you ever gone after a goal or dream only to turn back when you get to the Halfway point?

ARE YOU ALL IN OR HALFWAY IN?

Israel had a goal to get to the Promise Land. They have been traveling in the Wilderness for 40 years.

The Gadites, the Reubenites and half-tribe of Manasseh got all the way to the border and decided that they had enough. "Do not take us over the Jordon." Numbers 32:5

The Gadites were so close yet so far. Physically they were there but Mentally and Spiritually they were very far away.

They weren't "buying in" to the Promise Land. They were satisfied with second best. They didn't want to make the extra effort to bring everyone into the Promise Land.

The Gadites wanted to remain in bondage to the lifestyle they were addicted to on the this side of the Jordon River.

"Then Moses gave to the Gadites, the Reubenites and the half-tribe of Manasseh son of Joseph the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan--the whole land with its cities and the territory around them." Numbers 32:33

This was the area on this side of the Jordon. This was outside of God's Promises for an Abundant Future filled with Joy and Prosperity.

This was the area where the worship of Baal, Ishtar and Molech was rampant. (Later on these people were known as the Gadarines).

There is God's Perfect Will for our life and God's Permissive Will for our life.

God's Perfect Will for our life is to Enter into the Promise Land.

Some people like to Test the Water first before jumping in. If we want to Surf we have to get all the way in.

We are not robots. So God will Permit us to go Halfway with Him. The Halfway Life is very difficult though.

Later on in History we see their following generations defeated by the enemy over and over.

Sometimes drugs, alcohol, sorcery, sex ect.. have such a grip on our lives that we would rather get defeated then let go of our addictions.

Friends, a lot of people are satisfied with the status quo. They don't want to Cross Over the Jordon River to the Promise Land and live the Abundant Life God has for them.

God has so much more for us. God has an Incredible Future and Plan for our Lives.

ARE YOU ALL IN OR HALFWAY IN?

Ephesians 3:20 says, "eye has not seen and ear has not heard nor has it ever entered the mind of man all the great things God has for us."

Let's go for it today! Let's Cross over to the Promise Land and live the Life of Victory God intended for us to live.

Leave Nothing Behind!
