The conquest of the land did not happen in a single moment — it unfolded over years of battles, endurance, and sustained faith.

The Word declares that God “raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus” (Ephesians 2:6). This is not a future promise — it is a present reality.
