Technically, you have all the faith you need right now to blast fear out of your way and obtain your promise. He had a spirit of radical faith-and so do you. God said of Caleb he had a different spirit. Their defense is gone from them, and the Lord is with us. Joshua and Caleb tried to reason with their brothers in Numbers 14:9: “Do not rebel against the Lord, nor fear the people of the land because they are bread for us.

The Bible says they refused to enter the Promised Land. But fear caused them to see themselves as unable. All they had to do was dispossess the former occupants and take up residence.

It was a land flowing with milk and honey-with provision. The 10 spies testified that the Promised Land was just as God had said. And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come from the giants, and in our eyes we were like grasshoppers, and so we were in their eyes.’” “But the men that went up with him said, ‘We are not able to go up against the people because they are stronger than we.’ They gave the children of Israel a bad report of the land which they had spied out, saying, “The land through which we have gone as spies is a land that devours its inhabitants, and all the people whom we saw in it are men of great stature. In Verse 31-33, we see a wrestling match between faith and fear. Now, that’s a radical fear mindset! Joshua and Caleb, by contrast, demonstrated a radical faith mindset in Verse 30: “Caleb silenced the people before Moses and said, ‘Let us go up at once and possess it, for we are able to overcome it.’” The Amalekites dwell in the land of the Negev, and the Hittites, and the Jebusites, and the Amorites dwell in the mountains, and the Canaanites dwell by the sea and by the edge of the Jordan.”

However, the people are strong that dwell in the land, and the cities are fortified and very great, and also we saw the children of Anak there. They reported to him and said, “We came to the land where you sent us, and surely it flows with milk and honey, and this is the fruit of it. “And they returned and came to Moses and to Aaron and to all the assembly of the children of Israel, to the Wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh, and brought back word to them and to the entire assembly and showed them the fruit of the land. When Moses was leading Israel, he sent spies into the Promised Land to scope it out. The first earmark is a radical faith mindset.ĭo You See Through the Eyes of Faith or Fear? Over the next few weeks, I’ll share 7 earmarks of radical spiritual warriors. Radical warriors force him out, in the name of Jesus! He goes to extreme measures to fulfill his part of John 10:10, to steal, kill and destroy. As Matthew 11:12 says, “The Kingdom of God suffers violence and the violent take it by force.” The devil has forces his way into your circumstances.
