Beloved, I would remind you today that no time has been lost. Though the years have passed chronologically, no time has been lost in the spirit. I see you!
Despite the circumstances and how things have looked around you, I know that your faith has not wavered. Your trust in who I am has never wavered. You have not been moved by what you’ve seen, you have only been moved by my promise. You have been faithful in holding fast to my name; you have been faithful in doing the work of my kingdom. In all of this you have grown even deeper in your intimacy with me.
I say to you, no time has been lost.
Beloved, there is still a battle, but you WILL WIN! Now, is the time to rise up in strength in me. Now is the time to rise to a greater level of boldness fueled by my Spirit. Now is the time that you will go in and take the land. You will go in and dispossess every enemy squatter on your promised land to possess your inheritance. By my Spirit I am anointing you with fresh strength and with new vitality and wherever your feet step, my glory will be known. No time has been lost!

Declare aloud:
The Lord is with me. So, by the Spirit of the Lord and by His power and might, I will drive out the giants from the land and possess my inheritance!
Joshua 14:6-15 (NLT)
A delegation from the tribe of Judah, led by Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, came to Joshua at Gilgal. Caleb said to Joshua, “Remember what the LORD said to Moses, the man of God, about you and me when we were at Kadesh-barnea. I was forty years old when Moses, the servant of the LORD, sent me from Kadesh-barnea to explore the land of Canaan. I returned and gave an honest report, but my brothers who went with me frightened the people from entering the Promised Land. For my part, I wholeheartedly followed the LORD my God. So that day Moses solemnly promised me, ‘The land of Canaan on which you were just walking will be your grant of land and that of your descendants forever, because you wholeheartedly followed the LORD my God.’ “Now, as you can see, the LORD has kept me alive and well as he promised for all these forty-five years since Moses made this promise—even while Israel wandered in the wilderness. Today I am eighty-five years old. I am as strong now as I was when Moses sent me on that journey, and I can still travel and fight as well as I could then. So give me the hill country that the LORD promised me. You will remember that as scouts we found the descendants of Anak living there in great, walled towns. But if the LORD is with me, I will drive them out of the land, just as the LORD said.
So Joshua blessed Caleb son of Jephunneh and gave Hebron to him as his portion of land. Hebron still belongs to the descendants of Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite because he wholeheartedly followed the Lord, the God of Israel. (Previously Hebron had been called Kiriath-arba. It had been named after Arba, a great hero of the descendants of Anak.) And the land had rest from war.
