Introduction

For 40 years, God’s people, the Children of Israel, abode, stuck in the wilderness, while the Land of Promise was within their grasp.

In this book, through the guidance of the Holy Spirit, I will try to exhort, encourage and educate the people of God to the reasons why most saints do not reach their Promised Land on this earth; they do not grow, mature or operate as Sons of God and enjoy their inheritance as Children of Abraham in this earth.

It is 2021, the second year of the pandemic and the majority of God’s Body (the church) is on milk--existing as babes in Christ… Operating in fear; not knowing or utilizing their Biblical authority. They are no longer Lights or Salt in the earth but are now puppets on strings being dictated to and controlled by Governments and the Society.

But today, Church, Jehovah God is calling us to grow up and once again, like the first Adam He created, take our dominion of the earth and operate as Sons of God.

I prophesy today, that no longer will God’s people be babes and children, operating in doubt and fear.

The whole earth is groaning for the manifestation of the sons of God. WE MUST AND WILL GROW UP! TODAY!

And by Grace through faith and by the power of HIS Spirit, we will become Sons of God and enter our land of promise taking back our dominion.

In this decade of the 2020’s, the church will come out of the closet and from behind closed doors and there will be No more wandering in the wilderness, decade after decade, century after century...

The repetitive cycle of the Church going in circles is ending.

CHAPTER ONE

God Created Man to Reign in the Earth

²⁶ And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

²⁷ So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

²⁸ And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. (Genesis 1:26-28 KJV)

On the sixth day of creation, God created Himself a man in His own image and He gave this first man, Adam, dominion over the earth and every living creature and thing upon it.

Lurking in the shadows of The Tree of The Knowledge of Good and Evil, Satan was in the Garden of Eden, cleverly and meticulously disguised as a serpent.

Man had dominion of the earth and everything in it but man allowed this creepy slithery snake to deceive him and bereft him of his birthright and dominion of the earth—the moment he hearkened to him and partook of the forbidden fruit.

Adam, who had walked and talked with God, His Creator, in the cool of the day, now became lost---plunged into darkness and separated from his God, Friend and Creator.

God had forewarned Adam not to eat of the forbidden fruit of the tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, stating that, "The day you eat of that tree you shall surely die. But Satan lied to the man and his wife and said, Thou shall not surely die."

When Adam and Eve disobeyed God and partook of that Tree, they soulically and spiritually died and became separated from their Loving God and Creator that very hour.

That day when they ate of that fruit, their disobedience and sin allowed that old serpent, the devil, to become god of this world… They had forfeited their dominion of the planet earth.

God created man to reign and govern the earth. But now, man had allowed an outside entity to usurp him of his rule and authority… this evil and sinister creature called Satan.

God original intent was for man to have dominion and govern His planet earth but now Satan and Sin had entered it.

Things on the planet earth became so wicked that the Holy Almighty God decided to destroy the earth and everything in it and upon it with the exception of Noah, his wife and his 3 sons and their spouses; 8 people.

Once again God gave Adam’s children--Noah and his family, the commandment to be fruitful and multiply and replenish the earth.

But the serpent who had deceived the first man was not finished… In Genesis, Chapter 11, he provoked Nimrod, who was a great leader and hunter, to gather all of Noah’s descendants together in one place--in the Shinar valley to establish a city and build a tower to heaven.

God’s instructions to Noah’s descendants was for them to separate and replenish and cover the earth.

Once again, mankind was rebelling against his God and Creator in a futile attempt to enter heaven on his own accord; without the assistance of his Creator and God. This Epoch was known as the Dispensation of Human Government.

And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.
