sed on fear is

a way of failure.

Do you realize what kind of

situation Joshua and Caleb went through

because the other spies wouldn’t mix

faith with God’s Word? They spent

forty years in the wilderness. They were

there until all of the doubters died, but

Joshua and Caleb never changed their

confession.

Numbers 14:28-37 reveals Gods

message to those who rebelled against

His promise:

Say unto them, as truly as I

live, saith the Lord, as ye have

spoken in mine ears, so will I do to

you: Your carcases shall fall in this

wilderness; and all that were

numbered of you, according to

your whole number, from twenty

years old and upward, which have

murmured against me, Doubtless

ye shall not come into the land,

concerning which I sware to make

you dwell therein, save Caleb the

son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the

son of Nun. But your little ones,

which ye said should be a prey,

them will I bring in, and they shall

know the land which ye have

despised. But as for you, your

carcases, they shall fall in this

wilderness. And your children shall

wander in the wilderness forty

years, and bear your whoredoms,

until your carcases be wasted in

the wilderness. After the number of

the days in which ye searched the

land, even forty days, each day for

a year, shall ye bear your

iniquities, even forty years, and ye

shall know my breach of promise. I

the Lord have said, I will surely do

it unto all this evil congregation,

that are gathered together against

me: in this wilderness they shall be

consumed, and there they shall die.

And the men, which Moses sent to

search the land, who returned, and

made all the congregation to

murmur against him, by bringing

up a slander upon the land, Even

those men that did bring up the evil

report upon the land, died by the

plague before the Lord.

Who did he call the evil

congregation? Those that brought back

the evil report. What was the evil

report? They told what they saw, what

they felt, and what they heard. But, is

that always an evil report? No, only

when it disagrees with the promise God

has given. I challenge you to check up

on yourself. Does the report or

confession you are making daily agree

with God’s promise?

The apostle Paul’s writing to the

Romans would seem to be a fitting

conclusion to this matter.

For what if some did not

believe? shall their unbelief make

the faith of God without effect?

God forbid: yea, let God be true,

but every man a liar; as it is

written, That thou mightest be

justified in thy sayings, and

mightest overcome when thou art

judged. (Rom. 3:3-4)

MARANATHA!
