Don't think that I have mastered this yet either but,
but I am praying and trying to.
I know that the Lord is totally able to help us do the
things that He has called us to do. Whether it is to
subdue the enemy, buy the land that He has promised,
or complete the ministry that He is asking us to do.
God bless,

Giants in the Land

We have all heard the story of Israel’s attempt to capture
His God’s promised land
how the twelve spies were sent to map out the obstacles
and to catch a glimpse of its beauty oh it truly was so grand.

Onward and upward they crept
while masked about with the blackness of the still night
treading where they had not been before 
and finding shelter at the dawns new light.

Looking and seeing all the goodness of the land
and yet feeling it was such an impossible task
getting their eyes on themselves and what was in their hands
forgetting that the Lord’s promises will always last.

Then ten out of the twelve speaking defeat fears and discouragement
till at last they just knew within their hearts that they would fail
their minds and heart had been seared with doubt from this own lies
forgetting that God Himself spoke the words and from Egypt had sent them assail.

But with their own eyes they had seen the giants in the land
and they wanted this assignment not be so hard
except God’s army is to be full only of fearless warriors and conquerors
like Joshua and Caleb this is the stipulation for you signing up and of it being a part.

Now how about you do you have a vision
a God breathed Word for your life
then don’t focus on the giants sent against you by the enemy
instead know the battle is the Lords and He will deliver you your children and your wife.
