The children of Israel spied out the land of Canaan and for fear of the giants, and their lack of faith in YHVH refused to go into the Promised Land. Many times, like the children of Israel, we make excuses why we cannot move forward in our walk with YHVH to fulfill his calling on our lives and to take the spiritual territory that is in front of us even in the face of seemingly adverse situations. By contrast, the Bible is full of examples of faithful people who went forward in faith trusting in YHVH, even under extreme persecution, and accomplished great things for the kingdom of heaven. This is a challenge for us all to go forward to spiritual conquerors and not defeatists.
