Who Are You Listening To?
September 29, 2026 – 3:28 amSince GOD is faithful, I should be full of faith!
Faithfulness is part of HIS character.
GOD spoke in Exodus chapter 6:
6 Therefore say to the children of Israel: ‘I am the LORD; I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, I will rescue you from their bondage, and I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and with great judgments.
7 I will take you as My people, and I will be your God. Then you shall know that I am the LORD your God who brings you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians.
8 And I will bring you into the land which I swore to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; and I will give it to you as a heritage: I am the LORD.'”
God gave a promise two over two million Israelites, but only two went into The Promised Land. GOD will keep all of HIS promises, but HE is not obligated to keep our potential!
Some people never press beyond what is comfortable for receiving.
In the book of Numbers chapter 13, THE LORD spoke to Moses:
1 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “Send men to spy out the land of Canaan, which I am giving to the children of Israel; from each tribe of their fathers you shall send a man, every one a leader among them.”
3 So Moses sent them from the Wilderness of Paran according to the command of the LORD, all of them men who were heads of the children of Israel.
When the men returned:
26 Now they departed and came back to Moses and Aaron and all the congregation of the children of Israel in the Wilderness of Paran, at Kadesh; they brought back word to them and to all the congregation, and showed them the fruit of the land.
27 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.
28 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.
29 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.”
30 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.”
31 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.”
32 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.
33 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.”
Ten men through their bad report convinced two million people to disregard the promise of THE LORD. Their emphasis was on the size of the problem, not the size of THEIR GOD WHO had just delivered them out of slavery. Fear became a self-fulfilling prophecy!
The voices of the ten men sill exist today. Their voices urge you to withdraw and play it safe. The other two voices encourage you to be a giant slayer and take more land for The Kingdom of GOD. Who are you listening to?
