Take the Land
September 29, 2024 Elwyn Johnston

Numbers 13 & 14
1. Use our voices for God
“Caleb quieted the people before Moses and said, ‘We should by all means go up and take possession of it, for we will surely overcome it.”’ Numbers 13:30
“We are not able to go up against the people, for they are too strong for us.” Numbers 13:31

2. Focus on what God has said rather than what you see
“the Lord is with us; do not be afraid of them.” Numbers14:9
“all the congregation said to stone them with stones. Then the glory of the Lord appeared” Numbers14:10
“Have faith in God.” Mark 11:22
“they were not able to enter because of unbelief.” Hebrews 3:19
“we became like grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were in their sight.” Numbers 13:33

3. Spiritual battles are not won through human effort.
“Send men to spy out the land of Canaan, which I am giving to the children of Israel” Numbers 13:2
“We realize that we have sinned, but now we are ready to enter the land the Lord has promised us.” Numbers 14:40

4. Take the fight to the enemy
“My servant Caleb, because he has had a different spirit and has followed Me fully, I will bring into the land which he entered, and his descendants shall take possession of it”

Numbers 14:24
