THEY SAY?!?!

Numbers 13:30-32

 

       But Caleb quieted the people before Moses and said, "Let us go up at once and occupy it, for we are well able to overcome it." Then 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 are." So they brought to the people of Israel a bad report of the land that they had spied out, saying, "The land, through which we have gone to spy it out, is a land that devours its inhabitants, and all the people that we saw in it are of great height

 

 

Are you seriously worried about what “they” think?  “They” say you are weak to believe in a GOD who is silent.  “They” say you will never make it!  “They” say you are too short, tall, ugly, and ill equipped to accomplish anything.  “They” even say that this “Jesus” never existed and you are missing reality by believing in him.

But I ask you; Does what “they” say , have anything to do with what GOD has said and done?  To “them” you should say, “When I was told I couldn’t have any children GOD blessed me with a child”. Tell “them” “When I was given six months to live, GOD took away my cancer”. Tell “them”, “When I should have been broke, and jobless, GOD blessed me with a job and an increase in the midst of a recession”!

 You see, “they” talk, but GOD acts.  GOD delivers!  GOD specializes in success and shutting “them” up each day.  Do not; (I repeat) do not become one of “them” by your words and deeds.  You see they “speak” out of fear and a lack of faith.  When you live a life that reflects fear, you will start to speak and act like “they” do.  You will put limitations on GOD.  You will let that fear infiltrate every section of your thoughts and prayers.   You will end your prayers with doubt in your heart  as if you are preparing yourself for failure and to be let down.  Remember remove all roots of fear from your life and vocabulary.  Expect success and the impossible from GOD.  Do not limit your prayers and requests to what you feel you can accomplish on your own.  When you have faith in yourself, you lose faith in GOD, and in essence become one of “them”.

 Rest assured that whatever GOD has promised you is already yours.  Sometimes our hands and arms are not strong enough to receive it, so GOD is training us up for the blessing to come.  “They” have no idea what GOD has already done.  “They” will not know what to do when you are secure in the land of promise that GOD has given you.  “They “don’t even know, nor can “they” comprehend what GOD is doing right now.  Remember, faith and fear are the lines of separation that determines if you are with GOD or “them”.

 

Be encouraged and remember: I love you always and in all ways.
