Episode 405 | God's Promises Are Still Yes: Believing for What He Said He Would Do
Episode · July 27, 2026
About this episode
God is not waiting to give you something. He's waiting for you to go get what He's already given. That's the tension at the heart of this episode, and if you've ever found yourself in a season of praying, waiting, and wondering why nothing seems to be moving, Christine Caine has a direct word for you from the Book of
Joshua: how long will you put off going in to possess the land? In this week of our summer series, Christine Caine brings the entire series to a point. We've built the roots. We've developed the resilience. We've walked through shame, waited through the wilderness, found the peace. Now comes the question that determines whether any of it produces fruit: are you willing to go in and possess what God has already promised you? Because the abundant life Jesus described in John 10:10 was never meant to be dropped from the sky. It was meant to be walked into actively, faithfully, and at personal cost. ✨ If you've ever asked questions like… ✅ Why does it feel like God's promises are for everyone else but not for me? ✅ I've been praying and believing for years, but why haven't I seen the breakthrough yet? ✅ What does it actually mean to possess the promises of God — is there something I need to do? ✅ How do I know what I need to cut away in order to move forward? ✅ Is the abundant life Jesus promised actually available to me right now, in my circumstances? ✅ Why do some Christians seem to walk in blessing and favor while others don't? ✅ Am I co-laboring with God or just waiting for Him to do something I'm supposed to participate in? …then this is your episode. 💡 What you'll learn: → Why God's promises are already yes and amen in Christ — but possessing them requires active participation, not passive waiting, and what it looks like to partner with God to go in and take what He has already given. → What the circumcision at Gilgal teaches us about the cutting away that always precedes new territory — and how to identify what you need to lay down before you can go in and possess what's next. → Why every generation must pay their own price (you cannot inherit someone else's breakthrough) and what it means for you personally to step into the fullness of what God has prepared for this season of your life.
