Jeremiah 6:¹⁶ “Eternal One (to the people): Stand at the crossing, and consider the ancient path, for it is good and it leads to Me. Walk on this path, and you will find rest for your souls. But they have said, “We will not walk upon this road.” (The Voice)

Jeremiah 6:¹⁶ “This is what the Lord says: “Stop at the crossroads and look around. Ask for the old, godly way, [the ancient paths,]…” (NLT & NIV, emphasis added). In the Kingdom, you have an inheritance, and that inheritance has a boundary line. And that boundary line will be preserved, and it will be delivered to you in the Name of Jesus. Psalm 16:⁶ “The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; surely I have a delightful inheritance.” (NIV). As you journey on the path to restoration, STOP, ASK, and then WALK. Jeremiah 6:¹⁶ “This is what the Lord says: “Stop at the crossroads and look around. Ask for the old, godly way, [the ancient paths,] and walk in it…” (NLT & NIV, emphasis added).

What is the point of stopping, looking around, asking, gaining wisdom, and doing nothing about it? Interestingly, many people have stopped, quieted themselves, looked around, asked questions, gained wisdom, and they have done nothing about it. For instance, wisdom has said that you need to make a hundred sales calls to get ninety-nine NOs and one Yes. Then you make fifteen calls, and you say, I am tired, this thing is so hard. No, that is not working, that is foolishness. If you find wisdom and it says you need to make a hundred calls, make a thousand calls. Walk in it; then you are guaranteed ten businesses. Walk in it.

Jeremiah 6:¹⁶ “…Travel its path, and you will find rest for your souls. But you reply, ‘No, that’s not the road we want!’” (NLT & NIV, emphasis added). These people stopped, looked around, asked for wisdom, acquired wisdom, saw the path, yet they still said, “…No, that is not the path…” Isn’t it ironic? Then they will come back and say God did this and God did that. For those who do that, may God not slap your mouth in Jesus Name. Some will say God doesn’t work, or the Word doesn’t work, or the prayer doesn’t work. No, you are not walking in it! You need to walk in it, and you will walk in it in the Name of Jesus. That is how it works. You need to walk in it. To get the value, you have to walk in it.

There is an aspect of walking in it that I want to highlight, and that is the aspect of walking wisely. You have to walk wisely. A classic example is David. David was anointed by God. When he was about to face Goliath, he said to Saul, “…the lion came, I killed it, the bear came, I killed it, I am going to kill this uncircumcised Philistine!” And because he was anointed, he took down Goliath, and the rest was history.  We will delve in deeper tomorrow, by God’s grace.

Prayer: Father, as You reveal restoration-road to me, I walk in it, in the Name of Jesus. Amen!

Psalm 16:⁶ “The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.” (KJV).

Jude 1:³ “…ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.” (KJV). The truth remains that The Gospel remains The Gospel. Jesus came, He died for you and me. He is seated at the right hand of the Father. We have been reunited in fellowship with the Father. There is no other sacrifice, there is no other name. And because of the power of God, we are representing Him on earth, we are reflections of our Father, of His character. We are full of love, and love is patient and kind. We do not behave like rascals or like vagabonds because we have a Father. Contend earnestly for the gospel of truth.

In talking about paths, you need to understand landmarks. When you are operating in a domain, you need to know that every domain has boundaries, and every boundary is marked by landmarks. It is so important that you understand this. So that you do all you do within the boundaries of your inheritance. So, we are heirs of the Kingdom, so what we do we do in the boundaries of the Kingdom. Again, it is very important for us to understand this. Proverbs 23:¹⁰ “Do not remove the ancient landmark, nor enter the fields of the fatherless” (NKJV).

When you remove the ancient landmarks, you are entering into the fields of the fatherless. Meaning, on one level, you are becoming vagabonds because you are moving out of the jurisdiction of your Father, and you are straying. On another level, it means that the boundary separates your field from another person’s field. That person may have lost his father, and when you encroach on it, you are entering into the field of the fatherless. You are taking advantage of the helpless, and their God will fight you. Landmarks are objects that mark property lines of inheritance. These lines serve as boundaries. You have a property line of inheritance in God that serves as a boundary for your inheritance.

Everyone, everything, every spirit that has encroached or is planning to encroach, the Lord rebukes them in the Name of Jesus and drives them back. Your land will be restored to you, and every boundary that has been shifted against you will be restored in the Name of Jesus. The boundaries are so powerful, and that is why you see in Psalm 16:⁶ “The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; surely I have a delightful inheritance.” (NIV). In the Kingdom, there are boundary lines; there is a boundary line for the Kingdom. You don’t get out of the Kingdom and expect that the forces of the Kingdom will back you up if you have not been sent.

Prayer: Father, help me stay inside the boundaries of where You have called and placed me, in Jesus Name. Amen!
