We can overcome. We are well able, says Caleb.

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... 

 

The way of this world is to look at the circumstances and judge they can't do "that" because of what they see in problems.

 

The people of faith in God know they are well able to do that which God says.

 

Numbers 13

 

1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

 

2 Send thou men, that they may search the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel: of every tribe of their fathers shall ye send a man, every one a ruler among them.

 

So Moses obeyed God and sent men out to see the land God had promised to give to them.

 

3 And Moses by the commandment of the LORD sent them from the wilderness of Paran: all those men were heads of the children of Israel.

 

They reached the land and saw it was a good land. 

 

20  And what the land is, whether it be fat or lean, whether there be wood therein, or not. And be ye of good courage, and bring of the fruit of the land. Now the time was the time of the firstripe grapes.

 

23  And they came unto the brook of Eshcol, and cut down from thence a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bare it between two upon a staff; and they brought of the pomegranates, and of the figs.

 

They reported to the congregation of Israel upon their return:

 

25 And they returned from searching of the land after forty days.

 

26 And they went and came to Moses, and to Aaron, and to all the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh; and brought back word unto them, and unto all the congregation, and shewed them the fruit of the land.

 

27 And they told him, and said, We came unto the land whither thou sentest us, and surely it floweth with milk and honey; and this is the fruit of it.

 

28 Nevertheless the people be strong that dwell in the land, and the cities are walled, and very great: and moreover we saw the children of Anak there. 29 The Amalekites dwell in the land of the south: and the Hittites, and the Jebusites, and the Amorites, dwell in the mountains: and the Canaanites dwell by the sea, and by the coast of Jordan.

 

30 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.

 

(Once we hear from God what to do, we'd better do it as quickly as possible, not giving devils time to attack us, for devils will turn us from what God wants us to do if at all possible.)

 

Caleb and Joshua saw God ... the others saw the problems.

 

The world makes excuses ... faith sees God.

31 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.

 

32 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.  33 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.

 

God killed each of those men who brought the evil report and discouraged the congregation.
