Faith School with Keith Moore

Episode: Week 147.2 – Faith For Provision: Reason #16: The Promised Land – II (Tue, June 24, 2025)

Episode Overview

In this episode, Keith Moore continues teaching on faith for provision, focusing on the spiritual significance of the Promised Land as the 16th reason why believers can be sure that abundant provision is always God’s will. Using the journey from Egypt to the Promised Land as a foundational Bible-type, Moore underscores the importance of words, the progression from “not enough” to “just enough” to “more than enough,” and the necessity of faith and obedience in possessing what God has promised.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

The Power of Words

• Opening Affirmation: Keith emphasizes the spiritual impact of words, noting, “The Lord is the apostle and high priest of our confession. The Lord works with what we say in our life. Words matter.” (02:33)
• Spiritual Weight of Speech: Reminds listeners that negative words (cursing, slander, fear, and doubt) have spiritual consequences and attract the wrong spirits, drawing from Proverbs: “Life and death is in the power of the tongue.” (03:08)
• Positive Confession: Encourages blessing and edifying speech, even humorously illustrating:

  “If you get up in the middle of the night and stump your toe…don’t go into a tirade of cussing. …If we were smart, what would we do? I bless you toe. I bless you toe. Be healed, Be healed, toe.” (07:07)

Faith for Provision: The Promised Land Principle

• Biblical Pattern: Unpacks three distinct phases: Egypt (not enough), Wilderness (just enough), Promised Land (more than enough) (19:34).
• God’s Intent:

  “He brought us out so that he might bring us in. He’s bringing you out of something into something else.” (12:28)

• Personal Application: This exodus is both literal and spiritual—God wants to deliver us from all forms of bondage: financial lack, sickness, or limitation.
• Repentance and Humility: Keith stresses the need to own up to mistakes and turn to God:

  “You need to fall on your face and confess your sin and say, God, it was me. …Repentance is a change of heart and a turning away from one thing to another.” (17:24)

Egypt: “Not Enough”

• Description: In Egypt, the Israelites were slaves, with no ownership or sufficiency (22:51).
• Key Point:

  “Not enough is not God’s will. He brought them out of that.” (25:35)

Wilderness: “Just Enough”

• Provision: In the wilderness, God gave manna and water, representing “just enough” (27:39).
• Positive Aspect: There’s a celebration in moving from lack to sufficiency—“not belittling wilderness faith,” but “you’re not home.”
• Lesson:

  “In the wilderness, you’re not home; you’re on your way to somewhere else.” (30:36)

Promised Land: “More Than Enough”

• Common Misunderstanding: Promised Land is sometimes thought to represent heaven, but Keith corrects this:

  “In heaven, there are no giants to fight…The promised land, as wonderful as it was, it was a fight. Does that sound like here and now?” (36:11)

• Active Possession:

  “I’ve given it to you, now what? Go up and possess it. You have to go get it. You have to go after it.” (39:15)
  “The blessings of God don’t just fall on you like ripe cherries off a tree…” (42:27)

Difference Between Egypt and the Promised Land

• Effortless Provision: The Promised Land is “not as the land of Egypt,” where crops were irrigated by foot (Deut. 11:10-14). In the new land, God himself provides rain and watches over the land year-round (44:31).
• Divine Care:

  “A land which the Lord your God cares for. …The eyes of the Lord your God are always upon it, from the beginning of the year, even unto the end of the year.” (46:05)

• Obedience and Love: Continual provision is linked to loving and serving God with all your heart (Deut. 11:13-15).

Taste of Heaven – Living the Promise Now

• Promise:

  “You’re going to have a taste of heaven on earth…It’s not heaven, but it’s like heaven. It’s a taste of heaven. Is that still the will of God? Hallelujah.” (50:44)

Choosing the Blessing

• Active Choice:

  “‘I set a blessing and a curse before you…’ I choose the blessing. I choose the good land. Thank You, Lord, for bringing me out, bringing me through and into the good land.” (53:42)
