Good Morning Sunshine! Keep It Moving, Don’t Settle Again in Sight of the Promise!

Joshua 1:2–3 (NKJV) ~ “Now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, you and all this people, to the land which I am giving to them… Every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon I have given you, as I said to Moses.”

There comes a moment in every believer’s life when God says, “Enough is enough.” Not out of frustration, but out of love. Not as rejection, but as redirection. That’s what happened in the land of Moab. God’s people had dwelt long enough at a mountain that once held meaning but no longer matched their mission. It was time to move.

On Day One, God called you to break camp and move forward. You have acknowledged that the mountain was no longer the place of promise. Now, on Day Two, God is instructing you not just to start moving, but to keep moving. The wilderness was the waiting room, Moab was the pause, but now you are standing on the edge of the Jordan, the boundary between the past and the promise. What’s before you is not just a land, but a legacy, not just territory but a testimony. To receive the inheritance, you must cross over.

Moab was never meant to be permanent, it was a place of pause, not a place of promise. God’s people were standing just short of inheritance, clinging to comfort when God was calling them to courage. They had the law. They had the memory of miracles. But now, they needed movement. “You’ve dwelt long enough at this mountain,” God said. It was no longer about waiting; it was about walking.

And so, they broke camp. They turned their backs on the mountain, the murmuring, and the wilderness ways. But the journey didn’t stop there. On the other side of that obedience came another challenge: Keep moving. God said to Joshua, “Arise, go over this Jordan.” In other words, don’t just leave where you were, step into where you’re called. It’s not enough to start the journey, you must finish it. Your faith needs feet.

This is where many get stuck again. You leave one place of delay only to settle again in another form of it. But the Lord is calling His people to consistent obedience, not occasional movement. Crossing over requires intentionality. It means believing that what God promised is still ahead, even if the path to it is unfamiliar.

You’ve broken camp, yes. But now you must cross over. This is the day to arise with intentionality and keep your eyes on the land, not the last stop. Don’t trade divine fulfillment for familiar footholds. The promise is not behind you. It’s not beside you. It’s ahead, so don’t stop until you’re walking in it.

The Jordan may seem wide. The path may seem uncertain. But just like Israel, you have a word from God and a promise that wherever your foot treads, He has already given you the land. Don’t allow the crossing to intimidate you when God has already guaranteed the outcome. This season requires persistent progress, not just initial obedience.

Every place your foot touches in faith is marked for possession. That means you can no longer afford to delay. You can no longer camp in transition, circle old fears, or rehearse old disappointments. The call is to move forward, not just emotionally or mentally, but spiritually and physically. The land is set before you, now walk into it.

I will not break camp only to settle again. I will cross over. I will walk, I will tread, I will take territory. I’m not circling mountains anymore; I’m stepping into promise. My faith has feet, and every step is a step closer to my inheritance. I’ve broken camp, and I won’t look back.

Let’s Pray:
Father, Thank You for speaking to me with clarity. You’ve stirred my spirit and awakened something deeper in me. I hear You, Lord. I’ve dwelt at this mountain long enough. I’ve circled discouragement, fear, comfort, and delay. But now I declare, I’m breaking camp, and I’m not turning back. Father, I thank You for meeting me in Moab, for shaping me, feeding me, sustaining me. But I recognize now that Moab is not my destination. The wilderness was my testing ground, but the promise is my territory. Just as You told Joshua, “Arise and go over this Jordan,” I arise today. I step forward in faith. Even if the waters don’t part until I step in, I will move. I believe You go before me. I believe You’ve already prepared the land. Father, let every place my foot treads be ground claimed for Your Glory. Let my steps be ordered and anointed. Let nothing pull me back to what You’ve called me to leave. I reject the urge to build a new tent in transition. I renounce the lies that say I’ve missed it, or that it’s too late. The promise still stands, and I will pursue it with obedience, boldness, and expectation. Father, when fear rises, remind me that You are with me. When fatigue whispers, give me strength. When doubt knocks, let faith answer. Let me not just be a hearer of Your Word but a doer, a mover, a walker, a possessor of everything You have spoken over my life. Let me cross every Jordan, tear down every Jericho, and occupy every promise. And Father, let others be encouraged by my movement. Let my journey inspire faith in someone who is still stuck. Use my obedience to be a signpost for breakthrough. I am not who I was. I will not stay where I’ve been. I am moving forward, fully, faithfully, and without fear. In the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ, I pray, Amen!

Blessings…
Love, Dr. Jean
