Wrong thinking, wrong believing and wrong speaking are the giants that defeat you.
For example, with the children of Israel it wasn’t the giants in the land of Canaan that kept Israel from possessing the land. It was the Israelites’ doubt and unbelief and their confession of an evil report that kept them out of the Promise Land.
And, it really isn’t the giants that defeat us either. It’s our failure to cooperate with God and work with God in line with His word that causes us to fail in life. Read Numbers, Chapters 13 and 14.
If it had just been the giants that hindered the Israelites from possessing their Promise Land, those giants would have defeated Joshua and
Caleb, too, and no one would have ever possessed the Land.
No, it wasn’t the giants that defeated the people. The people defeated themselves. It was their own thinking. It was their own unbeliefs. It was their own confession that defeated them.
It’s not the giants in life that defeat us. It’s not the storms in life that defeat us. It’s not the devil that defeats us. If we’re defeated in life, it’s because we have defeated ourselves.
We defeat ourselves when we think wrong and when we believe wrong because then we talk wrong.
Caleb and Joshua said that they were well able to overcome the giants and eventually they did.
You can have what you say. The woman with the issue of blood in Mark, Chapter 5 got exactly what she said.
These Israelites that accepted the 10 spies report of doubt and unbelief got exactly what they said.
Just because the majority is doing it, doesn’t mean it’s what God says is right.
The scripture says that, broad is the way that leads to destruction and many be that go in thereat. Matthew 7: 1314.
So the Israelites that went with the majority wandered in the wilderness for 40 years until every one of them had died.
Caleb and Joshua were the minority and they were the only ones of that older generation who went into the Promise Land and Joshua became the leader.
In James, Chapter 3, He compares our tongue to the rudder of a ship, that means what we let come out of our mouth determines what we have in our life.
So, if you don’t like what you have, change what you’re saying.
Joshua 14:12: Caleb said to Joshua, give me this mountain. Caleb was a man of faith. He thought right, believed right and talked right.
Joshua told Caleb
there are giants on that mountain. But old Caleb said that I’m well able to take it and praise God, he did.
We fall sometimes because we get ready to fall. We prepare for failure. We think and believe in failure and therefore fail. As believers, we don’t have any business talking failure or doubt, we should talk faith.
Mark 11:23-24 Jesus said: For verily I say unto you, that whosoever shall say unto this mountain, be thou removed and be thou cast into the sea and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass, he shall have whatsoever he saith.
Therefore I say unto you, what things soever ye desire when you pray believe that you receive them and you shall have them.
If you believe you’re going to receive something from God, then you will confess it, you will say what you believe.
