Deut. 1:21--"Behold, the Lord thy God hath set the land before thee;Go up and posses it, as the Lord God of the fathers hath said unto thee, fear not, neither be discouraged".......
The mission was complete, the twelve men had returned from their undercover surveillance of enemy territory. They now stood before their fellow country men. The report came in ; the land is good! But ten said it's impossible to possess, the people are too strong, its cities to well defended, and it's a land which eateth up the inhabitants. The people were swayed, they abandoned their invasion plans, and elected to return to the enslavement from which they had been delivered.
Saints we live in a 24/7 media world; it consist of television, radio, internet,phones newspapers, books , magizines and the trusted word of mouth.It's a media which even when factual, it can be misleading, prejudicial and often very one sided.( it will generally carry the views, opinons and beliefs of the one reporting the story). There are televison programs swaying people to believe certain lifestyles are acceptable; music which potrays our women as female dogs and certain garden tools,while encouraging our young men to be thugs gansters and big baller, having no pride or self respect about them selves. The secular media tells us " it's your life , life it your way to the fullest", while the religious media says " you can't live holy, and God understands", thus many are swayed to abandon Gods perfect plan for our lives,and return to the enslavement of sin to which we have been made free.
The word of God says "I can do ALL things through Christ who Strenghtens me", saints who are we going to believe ?, the report of man or the word of God? The challengers might be strong but my God is stronger, the problems might be giant but my God is Bigger, let us stop telling God about my problems ,and start telling our problems about our God that he is able.We're are at the door step of our breakthrough, let us walk on by faith into the promised rest in the promised land that God has prepared for those who trust and believe him.
We walk by faith not by sight.......................
The job of the enemy is to steal (the word of God)to kill(our hope ,trust and faith in the word) and to destroy(our souls) we have been promised a rest from the trials of this world but the devil is conviencing many this is a afterlife experience, but Jesus said be of good cheer i've overcome the world. so i just believe if i surrender my all to God and be content with where he leads me and be happy with what he gives me, just trust and believe that he will work it out , i can live in perfect peace until that great getting up morning
