You will possess the land and you're going to have rest from all your enemies and you're going to be blessed. Everything you put your hands to coming and going and you will prosper and you will prove that you love the Lord with all your heart. And then with his gospel, his Jesus, his son and his spirit he'll cleanse your heart as you're approving it and he'll perfect in your love in you that loves your neighbors yourself and then you'll endure to the end.
Because he's chosen you. You didn't choose him John 15 16 but he chose you that you should go and bear fruit that's the fruit of love and that this fruit would remain and then whatever you ask of the father in the name of Jesus he's going to give to you because you're walking in covenant.
