The Lord Is With Us – A Conquering Spirit

Numbers 13:25–33 (NLT) — 25 After exploring the land for forty days, the men returned 26 to Moses, Aaron, and the whole community of Israel at Kadesh in the wilderness of Paran. They reported to the whole community what they had seen and showed them the fruit they had taken from the land. 27 This was their report to Moses: “We entered the land you sent us to explore, and it is indeed a bountiful country—a land flowing with milk and honey. Here is the kind of fruit it produces. 28 But the people living there are powerful, and their towns are large and fortified. We even saw giants there, the descendants of Anak! 29 The Amalekites live in the Negev, and the Hittites, Jebusites, and Amorites live in the hill country. The Canaanites live along the coast of the Mediterranean Sea and along the Jordan Valley.” 30 But Caleb tried to quiet the people as they stood before Moses. “Let’s go at once to take the land,” he said. “We can certainly conquer it!” 31 But the other men who had explored the land with him disagreed. “We can’t go up against them! They are stronger than we are!” 32 So they spread this bad report about the land among the Israelites: “The land we traveled through and explored will devour anyone who goes to live there. All the people we saw were huge. 33 We even saw giants there, the descendants of Anak. Next to them we felt like grasshoppers, and that’s what they thought, too!” 

 

Three things about a conquering spirit that we can learn from this text:

I.  A conquering spirit has a conquering

 

II. A conquering spirit has a conquering

 

III. A conquering spirit has conquering

 

My charge to believers everywhere:

• Take responsibility for your attitude! If it’s not hopeful and confident in the presence and promise of God, change.
• Take responsibility for your words! If they are not bringing a good report to others, be quiet or change your language.
• Take responsibility for your actions! Don’t just have a good attitude and a good report, but put action to your faith. Stay fit, stay trained, and take the hardest mountain you can find!
