A Mindset Of Victory Series

I can imagin the 12 spies coming back from the land of Isreal. They are carrying the wonderful fruits of the journey. Hands full of grapes and pomagranets. Honey and water. The crowd begins to form and just stare at what they have brought. They probably get fired up and ready to go and gather some of this. But they stop.

10 spies are calling out. They say sure this is great but there is more in this land there is walled cities and men that look like giants. Many nations or there the nations of the Hittites and the Jebusites the Amorites and the Canaanites already to fight. To get this fruit there has to be a fight and I just don’t know if we can when.

The faith of these 10 spies were just weak. It caused them to see things differently. What they did not understand was what is Impossible for man is possible for God

This is what Jesus was saying when he said

Mt 19:26 But Jesus beheld [them], and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.

Something in your life may look like an impossible mountain to climb or an impossible valley to cross but with God all things are possible. Jesus said in

Mt 17:20 And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.

III. Sometimes we just have to trust God

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 AV)

Caleb knew his God. He knew the power of his God. He did not care what the battle was before him he wanted to take this land. This spirit did not die either. When he got to the promise land 40 years older he still wanted to fight. Why? he knew his God and the power and the might of his God.

Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring [it] to pass. {Commit...: Heb. Roll thy way upon} (Psalms 37:5 AV)

IV. The majority is not always right

But the men that went up with him said, We be not able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we. And they brought up an evil report of the land which they had searched unto the children of Israel, saying, The land, through which we have gone to search it, is a land that eateth up the inhabitants thereof; and all the people that we saw in it are men of a great stature. {men...: Heb. men of statures} And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight. (Numbers 13:31-33 AV)

Praise the Lord that when David came to fight against the Gaint he did not see a giant he saw a man who cursed his God he saw a hinderance to God’s people he saw a man who was in his way. I can imagin his brothers tring to discourage him. All the people tring to dicourage him from fighting. This poor unlearned, unexperienced boy tring to fight a giant. But David knew who was on his side.
