Faith That Enters the Promised Land | Lessons from Numbers 13&14 (Part 3)

Our faith is not faith at all until it is put to the test! Without testing, without proving it, it’s just something in the mind. Peter wrote, ‘...so that the TESTING OF YOUR FAITH, being more precious than gold that perishes, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ!’ (1 Peter 1.6-7).

We cannot live from meeting to meeting, just talking and singing about the power of God, we’ve got to ‘make it happen’! God wants us to be men and women of ACTION, not passive, but people He can work through. There are three practical ways in which you can make the things of God happen in your life, so that you can fulfil His call, see His miracles, and become what God wants you to be. You need a faith that has been tested, a greater power in prayer, and you need simple obedience.

'But Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, who were among those who had spied out the land, tore their clothes; and they spoke to all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying: “The land we passed through to spy out is an exceedingly good land. If the Lord delights in us, then He will bring us into this land and give it to us, ‘a land which flows with milk and honey.’ Only do not rebel against the Lord, nor fear the people of the land, for they are our bread; their protection has departed from them, and the Lord is with us. Do not fear them.” (Numbers 14.6-9)
