Episode: Week 148.2 - Faith For Provision: Reason #16: The Promised Land - III (Tuesday, June 30, 2025)

Host: Keith Moore

Overview

In this episode of Faith School, Brother Keith Moore continues his foundational series on Faith for Provision, focusing on "Reason #16: The Promised Land." The class explores why abundant provision is always God's will for believers, using the Promised Land in the Old Testament as a scriptural example. Brother Moore emphasizes the importance of understanding God’s covenant, the necessity for faith-rooted speech, and how the power to get wealth is intricately linked to our calling and obedience. Throughout, listeners are encouraged to align their confession and identity with God’s promises of abundance.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Faith Is Dynamic and Eternal

• Faith isn’t merely about principles or formulas ("do these three steps and get this"); it's about an ongoing, dynamic relationship with God.
• "We will never exhaust understanding God… In the eons, the ages to come, our faith will develop because we will learn more of God." (03:14)

2. Faith Lessons Outlast the Temporary

• The lessons of faith, love, obedience, and discernment gained here are eternal—other earthly issues are transient.
• "But the faith lessons and the lessons about love are eternal...us choosing to trust the Lord in daily life, it pleases the Lord." (05:43)

3. The Power of Words & Agreement with God

• Brother Moore stresses the critical importance of what believers say over their lives and circumstances. He refuses to speak lack over his ministry, considering it as bad as cussing.
• "You could not squeeze me to the point to get me to say that our ministries and churches will experience lack. I won’t say it. To me, it’s like cuss words." (09:18)
• He teaches that real faith is both believed in the heart and spoken with the mouth, resulting in life transformation.

4. Defining the Promised Land

• The Promised Land is not a future heaven but a present experience of God’s provision and blessing amid earthly challenges.
• "No, Promised Land is not a type of going to heaven…they had to fight to get in the promised land. Is that right? And there were giants there…That’s here." (17:48)
• The Promised Land represents what God provisions for us post-redemption: abundant life, benefits, and even wealth.

5. Scripture Study: Deuteronomy 8 & Galatians 3

• God’s intent for His people was always abundance: "It’s a land where you will eat bread without scarceness. You shall not lack anything in it." (Deuteronomy 8, see 22:10)
• Believers are encouraged to boldly speak, "I live a life of no scarceness. I live a life of no lack." (23:40)
• Stresses that abundance and blessing are part of God's covenant with Abraham—still in effect—and extended to us in Christ:
  • "Christ has redeemed us from the curse...that the blessing of Abraham might come on the gentiles..." (Galatians 3:13–14, cited at 42:15)
  • "Exactly what he told Abraham that made Abraham rich belongs to you...and me as a child of God." (53:45)

6. The Dangers of Comfort and the Command to Remember

• Prosperity brings the risk of pride and forgetfulness. God warned Israel against forgetting Him when they prosper (Deuteronomy 8:11–18).
• "He sees the end from the beginning…But when you get there, don't forget me." (30:19)
• Quoting Deuteronomy 8:18: "You shall remember the Lord your God, for it is he that gives you power to get wealth…" (37:10)

7. The Blessing of Abraham and New Covenant Identity

• Listeners are exhorted to identify with being blessed and wealthy, regardless of their current status.
• "If the Lord says you are righteous, it doesn't matter how you feel…If he says you’re rich…agree with him and say the same thing he says." (39:30)
• The notion that money is evil is refuted: "No, no, no, you’re misquoting scripture. The love of money is the problem, not the money." (41:23)

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• On the importance of faith and revelation:

  "You can't trust something you don't even know to trust." (03:47)

• On confession leading to transformation:

  "If you hear [the Word] and you believe it and you let it get inside you, it will germinate and begin to put roots down inside you...then it will produce fruit outside here, in your life, in your finances." (16:04)

• Call to Confession:

  "Abundant provision is always God's will for us all. Abundant provision is God's will for me." (15:12)
  "I live a life of no scarceness. I live a life of no lack." (23:40)

• On our connection to Abraham’s blessing:

  "So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham." (Galatians 3:9, 42:35)

• On prosperity’s pitfalls:

  "A lot of times when people get comfortable, they get lazy…The enemy will come and try to get you to think of yourself more highly than you should." (32:47)

• On the source of wealth:

  "You shall remember the Lord your God, for it is he that gives you power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant." (37:10)

Conclusion & Key Takeaways

Brother Keith Moore passionately reinforces that living in God’s abundance is not just a future hope but a present-day reality extended to every believer through Christ and the Abrahamic covenant. Confession, faith, and obedience are central to experiencing this provision, and remembering God as the source keeps prosperity from becoming a spiritual hazard. The class is invited to make bold confessions, believe them, and expect the manifestation of provision in their lives—no lack, no scarceness, but the continual outworking of God’s blessing.

Final Confession (53:45):
“Abraham’s blessing is mine. The blessing of the Lord that makes rich, his power to get wealth, is on me and working in my life. In Jesus’ name. Hallelujah.”
