God has said much the same thing to us as New Testament believers. He’s said that by His divine power He “hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness” through the knowledge of Him and His promises (2 Peter 1:3). The difference between our promised land and the Israelites’ is that ours isn’t confined to a particular geographical location. God can make a land of plenty for us anywhere!
No matter where we might live, “all things” are ours in Christ Jesus (1 Corinthians 3:21). We’re His mobile temples, and our covenant with Him is a “covenant of…peace” (Isaiah 54:10). The word peace in Hebrew means “wholeness, with nothing missing and nothing broken.” It includes healing for our body, righteousness for our spirit, soundness for our mind and material prosperity. We have access to those blessings and more 24/7, everywhere we go. God gave us His Word on it. Our part is to simply believe Him and receive.
In John 15:7, Jesus put it this way: “If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.” In other words, if you’re living in union with Jesus and His Word is living in you, God can make your dreams come true.
“But Gloria, why would Almighty God care about my little dreams?”
Because to Him, if you’re a born-again believer you’re not just some random human being walking around on the earth. You’re His very own child. You’re special to Him. Just as a good earthly father loves and watches over his children, your heavenly Father loves and watches over you. He wants to protect you, increase you and give you the desires of your heart.
God wants to do those things for all His children!
What’s more, He is so loving and His heart is so big, He’s invited all people everywhere to become His children. He hasn’t left anyone out. He has said to everyone:
"Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness. Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live" (Isaiah 55:1-3).
