Possessing the Promises of God!

There
is a story In the book of Numbers when the LORD told Moses to send
twelve men, one from each of the twelve tribes of Israel to spy out the
land of Canaan, which is also known as the Promised Land.
Ten out
of the twelve spies came back with a bad report because they had seen
the giants in the land. These are the same men who had previously
experienced great miracles in which the LORD gave them a cloud by day, a
fire by night, manna from heaven, and He miraculously provided for them
for forty years in the wilderness. He also parted the Red Sea for them
and six million people walked through the sea on dry ground while He
destroyed their enemies.
When they went into Canaan to spy out the
land, they feared the giants that they had encountered rather than
remembering all that the LORD had done for them. They returned to Moses
with a cluster of grapes which was so huge, that it took two men to
carry it, but they also returned with a bad report.
They said that
the land surely does flow with milk and honey but the giants are too
large for us to conquer . They also said, “We were like grasshoppers in
our own sight, and so we were in their sight.”
The LORD is showing
me those of you who are facing giants in your life and you see yourself
as a grasshopper rather than a conqueror. You recognize that the land
ahead of you is flowing with milk and honey, but your focus is on the
giants.
Jesus gave you a promise but you are not trusting Him for
the provision. Many of you are standing on the brink of Canaan but you
are in fear because you came up against some giants. Fear looks at the
giants, but faith looks at the promises.
Two of the twelve spies
who were Joshua and Caleb didn’t deny that there were giants in the
land, but they came back with a different story. They said, “Let us go up at once and take possession, for we are well able to overcome it.” In Numbers 14: 24 The LORD said; “but
My servant Caleb, because he has a different spirit in him and has
followed Me fully, I will bring into the land where he went, and his
descendants shall inherit it.”
The LORD says, “You are standing on the brink of your promised land.
Pursue
your journey with boldness. Just as I have performed miracles with a
cloud by day and a fire by night for My people of old, I will also make
provision for you and surround you with My protection.
My
Glory will go before you in all that I have called you to do, and every
place that I have ordained for you to go. I will provide you with
manna from heaven, and water from a rock.
Just
as I supernaturally sustained My people in the wilderness for forty
years, I will also sustain you. Do not murmur and complain as the
Israelite’s did, but know that I AM well able to bring you in.
Trust
Me to part the Red Sea that is before you, just as I parted the Red Sea
for My people and drowned their enemies as they tried to pursue them.
You will no longer be a slave to Pharoah but you will be positioned above your taskmasters.
Do
not see yourself as a grasshopper in comparison to the giants that are
coming against you? Give no place to fear and intimidation, but
continue in confidence that I will fulfill My word that I have promised
to you.
The giants may appear to be immense in the natural, but that which I have given to you is so much greater.
I will bring confusion among your enemies just as I have sent hornets to drive out their enemies.
I
AM looking for those who will be as bold as Joshua and Caleb who didn’t
deny that there were giants in the land, but they knew that they were
well able to overcome them.
I AM looking for those who will stand up and say, let us go up at once and possess the Land.
Do
not allow the enemy to magnify the difficult situations in your life,
and don’t look at the giants as unconquerable. Go forth in all that I
have commissioned for you to do, and knowing that you are well able to
possess the land,”
says the LORD.
“Then
they told him, and said: “We went to the land where you sent us. It
truly flows with milk and honey, and this is its fruit. Nevertheless
the people who dwell in the land are strong; the cities are fortified
and very large; moreover we saw the descendants of Anak there. The
Amalekites dwell in the land of the South; the Hittites, the Jebusites,
and the Amorites dwell in the mountains; and the Canaanites dwell by the
sea and along the banks of the Jordan.” Then Caleb quieted the
people before Moses, and said, “Let us go up at once and take
possession, for we are well able to overcome it.” But the men who
had gone up with him said, “We are not able to go up against the people,
for they are stronger than we.” And they gave the children of Israel a
bad report of the land which they had spied out, saying, “The land
through which we have gone as spies is a land that devours its
inhabitants, and all the people whom we saw in it are men of great
stature. There we saw the giants (the descendants of Anak came from the
giants); and we were like grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were
in their sight,”Numbers 13:27-33.
“And
Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once,
and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it,” Numbers 13:30.
“There
we saw the giants (the descendants of Anak came from the giants); and
we were like grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were in their
sight,” Numbers 13:33.
