Faith requires seeing beyond physical obstacles to God's promises, even when circumstances seem overwhelming. We must remember God's faithfulness in our past to trust Him with our present challenges.

• Caleb stood apart from other spies by focusing on God's promise rather than the obstacles
• Many believers reduce their relationship with God to a mere checklist of religious activities
• We all need a "Caleb" in our lives who maintains spiritual vision when our faith falters
• Sometimes our enemies recognize God's power in our lives more clearly than we do ourselves
• At age 85, Caleb conquered the very giants that had terrified others 45 years earlier
• God fights our battles but gives us credit for the victory when we trust Him wholeheartedly

If you haven't obeyed the gospel, hear, believe, repent, confess and be baptized for the remission of your sins. Find a local Church of Christ and build a relationship with Jesus Christ. Remember that Jesus Christ is the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords.

00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:01.185
Folks just go to church.

00:00:01.185 --> 00:00:02.967
Oh yeah, I went to church today.

00:00:02.967 --> 00:00:05.325
Check, I took the communion today.

00:00:05.325 --> 00:00:08.365
Check, I read my verse today.

00:00:08.365 --> 00:00:14.727
Check, I did my five second prayer, maybe 10 second prayer.

00:00:14.727 --> 00:00:16.821
Check, oh, I'm good with God.

00:00:16.821 --> 00:00:31.376
They bringing back bad report.

00:00:31.376 --> 00:00:37.212
Oh yeah, moses, you know, because God is blessing this Israel, these Israelites.

00:00:37.212 --> 00:00:52.003
But, moses, you know, these people over there, they kind of strong and it's like, I'm sure, moses probably thinking I'm just kind of like speculating, like as a leader, like didn't you not see what God did to all these gods in Egypt?

00:00:52.003 --> 00:00:55.630
Like it's nothing compared to what you just seen.

00:00:55.630 --> 00:00:58.441
So that's a negative.

00:00:58.441 --> 00:00:59.844
So we're going to go.

00:00:59.844 --> 00:01:03.332
If I could have like a animation and they messed up with that.

00:01:03.332 --> 00:01:06.227
So the next checklist they say, oh, the city is large.

00:01:06.227 --> 00:01:06.849
Oh, good news.

00:01:06.849 --> 00:01:08.385
Oh man, you talking about big cities.

00:01:08.385 --> 00:01:13.805
Oh, man, name a big city, adney, name a city that's big in America.

00:01:14.647 --> 00:01:15.147
New York.

00:01:15.147 --> 00:01:24.490
Oh, excuse me, I'm sorry I missed the biggest one, texas, that state, the whole state of Texas, because they do everything big in Texas, everything big in.

00:01:24.490 --> 00:01:25.512
Texas Right.

00:01:27.141 --> 00:01:29.325
Everything big in Texas, dallas is huge.

00:01:30.161 --> 00:01:35.112
All of them cities in Texas are huge right, yes, go ahead, Continue.

00:01:35.112 --> 00:01:35.781
So they tell her.

00:01:35.802 --> 00:01:37.445
Bozus, bozus, man.

00:01:37.445 --> 00:01:44.525
There's some land over there like hey, man, man, you, hey, god was right Land flow, milk and honey and man them.

00:01:44.525 --> 00:01:47.805
Cities over there are large, nothing to compare to where we at them.

00:01:47.805 --> 00:01:51.683
Things are huge, right, and this is what they're going to say.

00:01:51.683 --> 00:01:55.191
So not only they said, you know, in the prior verse, you know the people that live there are strong.

00:01:55.191 --> 00:01:59.331
They're going to say oh yeah, oh yeah, you know so-and-so folk, them bad boys over there.

00:01:59.331 --> 00:02:01.161
I'm talking about them, bad boys.

00:02:01.161 --> 00:02:02.543
They got a bad reputation.

00:02:02.543 --> 00:02:03.483
I'm talking about them, bad boys.

00:02:03.483 --> 00:02:04.105
They got a bad reputation.

00:02:04.105 --> 00:02:04.825
Moses, you heard about them.

00:02:04.825 --> 00:02:06.027
Annex, right, them sons of annex.

00:02:06.027 --> 00:02:10.552
You talking about the ones that came from the Nephilim, them I'm talking about.

00:02:10.552 --> 00:02:11.353
They're there too.

00:02:11.433 --> 00:02:23.013
They're over there, moses, them dudes are like, and please no offense to any gang members.

00:02:23.013 --> 00:02:49.789
It's like saying, man, the bloods in the crypts are there, or or the, the spanish one, I think they're called um los something, they're there yeah, I don't right, I can't look no, but just to say, just to bring it to modern day, right when you're thinking about, this gang or that gang is there.

00:02:51.103 --> 00:03:07.415
We can't take the land, because those gangs are there and Moses is like hey, you ain't see what God did with that other gang that literally showed them all that stuff that they was worshiping.

00:03:07.415 --> 00:03:19.508
As a matter of fact, the last and final one was death, like killed all the firstborns and y'all was spared.

00:03:19.508 --> 00:03:21.304
Here's the kicker.

00:03:21.304 --> 00:03:22.769
Y'all was spared.

00:03:22.769 --> 00:03:24.841
Y'all are here now in this.

00:03:24.841 --> 00:03:25.181
Here's a kicker.

00:03:25.181 --> 00:03:26.062
Y'all were spared.

00:03:26.062 --> 00:03:26.943
Y'all are here now in this land.

00:03:26.943 --> 00:03:35.012
The greatest, one of the biggest miracles, was the death angel passing and you were spared.

00:03:35.012 --> 00:03:38.474
We did not lose not one.

00:03:38.474 --> 00:03:40.320
Yep, yep, yep.

00:03:40.320 --> 00:03:43.000
So I'm sending you to the land flowing with milk and honey.

00:03:43.000 --> 00:03:52.218
So I'm sending you to the land flowing with milk and honey, and you talking about the Anax, the Amalekites the Hittites, the Jephthah.

00:03:53.540 --> 00:03:59.433
God took out the firstborns of Egypt and none of y'all was lost.

00:03:59.433 --> 00:04:05.372
So you mean to tell me the God that did that can't handle this business for y'all?

00:04:05.372 --> 00:04:14.963
That to me and I have to bring it to me, I have to say it for me.

00:04:15.967 --> 00:04:16.168
Yeah.

00:04:16.620 --> 00:04:28.728
Like transparently, my greatest struggle since I've moved here to Atlanta has been financial and as I'm thinking about this, I'm saying, lord, you've allowed me to pay my rent.

00:04:28.728 --> 00:04:48.755
Yes, there were times I had to pay that extra because the rent was late, but you still provided for me and in your provisions it was sisters and some brothers who went and I saw, I opened my mouth and here it is the blessings flow.

00:04:48.755 --> 00:04:57.141
Oh, but you're going to go through it again and what I'm learning now, even through this, is the faith piece.

00:04:57.141 --> 00:05:09.896
If he did it for me two years ago, three years ago, four, five, 10 years ago, won't he still do it for me today?

00:05:09.896 --> 00:05:21.723
Yep, it's the faith piece and that's the part that I believe in this account that the Holy Spirit wanted us to see.

00:05:22.786 --> 00:05:26.994
When you have faith, you don't see what's taking place around you.

00:05:26.994 --> 00:05:34.392
Faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen.

00:05:34.392 --> 00:05:37.221
Right, because they saw it.

00:05:37.221 --> 00:05:38.524
They saw the anak.

00:05:38.524 --> 00:05:41.749
They still did see the land flowing with milk and honey.

00:05:41.749 --> 00:05:55.014
They bypassed the flowing with milk and honey and focused on the giants the Anakites, the Jebusites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Canaanites.

00:05:55.014 --> 00:05:59.290
But your eyes were supposed to stay on the milk and honey.

00:05:59.290 --> 00:06:03.125
Your eyes wasn't supposed to go.

00:06:03.125 --> 00:06:04.531
Look at the people that's there.

00:06:04.531 --> 00:06:09.290
Your eyes was on what did I tell you you're going to take?

00:06:09.290 --> 00:06:11.547
I told y'all this is y'all land.

00:06:11.547 --> 00:06:16.190
If this is your land, why are you focusing on who's there?

00:06:16.190 --> 00:06:19.946
This is your land.

00:06:19.946 --> 00:06:24.189
You got to look at it and take it for what.

00:06:24.189 --> 00:06:25.764
It is your land.

00:06:25.764 --> 00:06:39.033
But you took your eyes off of the promise, because God is not a man that he should lie, nor the son of man right.

00:06:39.033 --> 00:06:44.591
Whatever God says is yours, it's yours, it's yours, yeah.

00:06:45.052 --> 00:06:59.735
It's yours, and I think that sometimes, even when the situation doesn't look good for you or doesn't look good, god has a way of bringing the thing back full circle.

00:07:00.958 --> 00:07:01.317
Oh yeah.

00:07:01.505 --> 00:07:02.951
But where is your faith?

00:07:02.951 --> 00:07:21.295
And right now y'all I'm about to cry because I'm talking to me while I'm saying this, Because the Lord showed me something many years ago and every single day it's like he's sending people to reiterate to me what he's shown me.

00:07:21.295 --> 00:07:38.137
And now it's like, okay, I'm going to stay out of your business and I'm going to have faith and know it's not going to look like how everybody wants it to look, but when I reveal it to you, you will understand what I was doing from the beginning.

00:07:38.137 --> 00:07:41.689
All right, brother, Nick, continue.

00:07:41.810 --> 00:07:42.833
Thank you for sharing that.

00:07:42.833 --> 00:07:51.170
Thank you so much, cause, like hey, we're going all in with this, this reporting, and I tell you what.

00:07:51.170 --> 00:07:55.098
We heard the negative parts and we heard the positive parts.

00:07:55.098 --> 00:08:07.994
And I would say this although they went to go see, not every leader could see that part, every leader did not have 20-20.

00:08:07.994 --> 00:08:09.973
And I'm not talking about physically Physical.

00:08:10.605 --> 00:08:13.915
They didn't have the spiritual 20-20 vision.

00:08:13.915 --> 00:08:17.314
Yeah, they didn't look beyond the physical.

00:08:17.314 --> 00:08:23.117
They should have looked beyond the physical and tapped into what you said earlier, adni.

00:08:23.117 --> 00:08:25.339
Yeah, that they should have tapped into the spiritual.

00:08:25.704 --> 00:08:25.845
Yeah.

00:08:25.964 --> 00:08:38.971
That's why Khalif Caleb have this reputation that he has now, because, as y'all heard when Adni read it Numbers 13, verse 30, despite all this bad reporting, it was who spoke up.

00:08:39.985 --> 00:08:40.649
Who spoke up?

00:08:40.649 --> 00:08:52.586
He says but the word says but Kalev, but Kalev, that transition, yeah, y'all talking all that mess, but here comes Kalev with the quiet.

00:08:52.586 --> 00:08:55.485
Yep, yep, he said, khalid with the quiet, yep, yep.

00:08:55.485 --> 00:08:56.831
He said quiet.

00:08:56.912 --> 00:08:58.971
It was Caleb Yep.

00:08:58.971 --> 00:09:01.350
He said Caleb spoke up.

00:09:01.350 --> 00:09:03.706
He quieted the people.

00:09:03.706 --> 00:09:06.707
Caleb speaks up, uh-huh, quieted the people.

00:09:06.707 --> 00:09:07.451
Read it in your version.

00:09:07.625 --> 00:09:08.207
Ad you read it.

00:09:08.207 --> 00:09:21.178
It says but Khalid quieted the people before Moses and said let us go up once, not later, not tomorrow.

00:09:21.178 --> 00:09:34.716
Once they go now, let us go up at once and possess it, for we are well able to overcome it.

00:09:35.937 --> 00:09:37.500
He got it, he gets it.

00:09:38.780 --> 00:09:39.741
He ain't say let's go later.

00:09:40.166 --> 00:09:42.630
He ain't say next year, he ain't say next month.

00:09:42.630 --> 00:09:50.831
He said now let's, like Caleb said, let's roll, let's roll out, bro, let's roll out and go do this.

00:09:50.831 --> 00:09:53.995
And this is the powerful part to me.

00:09:53.995 --> 00:10:01.505
He said we are, we are well able to overcome it.

00:10:01.505 --> 00:10:07.144
What did he see in the people that they didn't see in themselves?

00:10:07.144 --> 00:10:13.638
What did he see in them that they didn't see in themselves?

00:10:13.638 --> 00:10:16.724
Because he said we are well, he.

00:10:17.546 --> 00:10:20.613
He didn't leave them out, even with their bad report.

00:10:20.613 --> 00:10:22.792
He did not leave them out.

00:10:22.792 --> 00:10:25.854
He said we are well able to overcome it.

00:10:25.854 --> 00:10:37.389
There are times that you're going to be going through something and then God will send that one person to you to minister to you and let you know you will overcome this.

00:10:37.389 --> 00:10:58.535
And we won't do it together, not by yourself, because you have to have that one person in your crew that that sees God differently than you, because sometimes, when we're going through stuff, we only see the stuff, but there's that person with the spiritual eyes that say, hey, I see what you see, but let me give it to you differently.

00:10:59.136 --> 00:11:00.119
Yes, yes.

00:11:00.325 --> 00:11:01.971
We will overcome this.

00:11:01.971 --> 00:11:03.772
You're battling cancer.

00:11:03.772 --> 00:11:09.873
Hey, I know the doctor said that you have six months, but let's lean on the God who?

00:11:09.873 --> 00:11:12.937
Healed a woman who was bleeding for 12 years.

00:11:12.937 --> 00:11:20.549
Hey, let's lean on the God who delivered us from Egypt 430 years.

00:11:20.549 --> 00:11:21.413
He delivered us.

00:11:21.413 --> 00:11:21.865
Oh.

00:11:21.865 --> 00:11:26.417
Let's lean on the God who opened the eyes of a blind man Yep.

00:11:26.417 --> 00:11:33.474
Let's lean on the God who called out legion in one man, legions of demons in one person.

00:11:33.474 --> 00:11:34.910
He called them out.

00:11:34.910 --> 00:11:38.572
We need that person in our circle.

00:11:39.575 --> 00:11:39.916
Oh yeah.

00:11:40.605 --> 00:11:47.712
Because when we only see the physical, that person says hold up, we will overcome.

00:11:47.712 --> 00:11:54.899
He's not speaking past tense, he's speaking in the present.

00:11:54.899 --> 00:11:55.804
He's speaking in the present.

00:11:55.804 --> 00:12:08.277
He said we are well, we are well, able to overcome it, that's present tense yeah, yeah.

00:12:09.144 --> 00:12:14.716
That's present tense, so I think sometimes I don't.

00:12:14.716 --> 00:12:16.821
Let me just speak for me.

00:12:16.821 --> 00:12:19.066
That's the only way I could explain it.

00:12:19.066 --> 00:12:24.798
There are times my faith is up here, and then there are times my faith is down here.

00:12:24.798 --> 00:12:31.910
But I know there's a person right here who says Adney, I know your faith, that your faith is down here, I'm gonna have faith for you.

00:12:31.910 --> 00:12:33.697
I'm gonna have faith for you.

00:12:33.697 --> 00:12:37.668
I'm gonna have faith for you because, as that person has faith for you, guess what they're doing?

00:12:37.668 --> 00:12:39.852
They're bringing you up.

00:12:39.852 --> 00:12:52.364
You need that person and that was khalif for those people, because all them other 12 spies, all them other 12 spies was tripping.

00:12:52.364 --> 00:12:56.514
I mean sorry, the other 10 spies, they was tripping you could go ahead and edit that part.

00:12:56.533 --> 00:13:00.898
Yeah, they yeah, the 10 spies.

00:13:00.898 --> 00:13:03.671
They was tripping because all they saw was physical.

00:13:03.671 --> 00:13:05.917
They saw, they saw they saw giants.

00:13:05.917 --> 00:13:06.909
They saw giants.

00:13:06.909 --> 00:13:10.972
Khalif saw nah, here's the kicker.

00:13:10.972 --> 00:13:15.013
He didn't even mention the giants.

00:13:15.013 --> 00:13:18.811
He didn't even mention the giants, he didn't see them.

00:13:18.811 --> 00:13:22.053
All he saw was the land flowing with milk and honey.

00:13:22.053 --> 00:13:25.789
Think about that.

00:13:25.789 --> 00:13:28.352
They're describing the giants.

00:13:28.352 --> 00:13:36.474
He said let us go up at once to possess it, for we are well able to overcome it.

00:13:36.474 --> 00:13:38.629
He didn't say nothing about fighting them giants.

00:13:38.629 --> 00:13:40.688
He said let us go up at once.

00:13:41.130 --> 00:13:52.408
Man, andy, I'm going to tell you something, man, I'm going to tell you something you know, because what we're talking about is very important.

00:13:52.408 --> 00:13:55.918
I know this is an actual, true story what happened?

00:13:55.918 --> 00:14:06.886
But you got to ask yourself and this is why Caleb had this reputation and this is why you got to ask yourself Caleb is quieting the people.

00:14:06.886 --> 00:14:13.053
There was an uproar, there was some noise, there was some fear.

00:14:13.053 --> 00:14:16.731
Why are you quieting the people?

00:14:16.731 --> 00:14:18.692
Like, what's going on in the atmosphere?

00:14:18.692 --> 00:14:27.099
What kind of news that these leaders brought to these people that terrified the people, that I believe that there was an up war.

00:14:27.099 --> 00:14:27.605
Why?

00:14:27.645 --> 00:14:29.552
Caleb like hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

00:14:29.552 --> 00:14:37.413
It's kind of like when Jesus Christ was in a ship and there was a storm they are, the disciples went all crazy.

00:14:37.413 --> 00:14:42.355
Jesus didn't care, he don't die, here's Jesus Christ, he's just chilling.

00:14:42.355 --> 00:14:44.672
So Caleb had that same spirit.

00:14:44.672 --> 00:14:50.171
While there, people were like bringing all this bad news, kind of like when Jesus Christ was in the ship.

00:14:50.171 --> 00:14:53.673
Jesus Christ was like come on, man, jesus is in the ship.

00:14:53.673 --> 00:15:00.797
All Jesus needs to do is wake up and just say Storm, be still, sit still.

00:15:00.797 --> 00:15:03.390
And they obey right.

00:15:03.390 --> 00:15:11.544
So Caleb is having that same spirit hey, come on, man, come on, like you said, andy, you need that Caleb in your life.

00:15:11.544 --> 00:15:20.153
When folks start complaining, when folks start bringing you bad report, like how you was just naming it, you need that Khalif in your life.

00:15:20.153 --> 00:15:23.294
That's going to be like, come on, man, just chill.

00:15:23.294 --> 00:15:25.851
Do you know the kind of God that you serve?

00:15:25.851 --> 00:15:28.893
Because you know sometimes Christians need to be reminded.

00:15:29.013 --> 00:15:34.409
Adney, not all, because you know, you got the weak and the strong Because you know every Christian is different.

00:15:34.429 --> 00:15:43.374
You know, sometimes you know you have folks that are going through stuff and it says he, that is spiritual, restore such a one, because the one that need to be restored is the one that's broken.

00:15:43.945 --> 00:15:51.269
Something has been broken and you need that spiritual person, and Caleb is the epitome.

00:15:51.269 --> 00:15:57.466
Is that spiritual individual who had spiritual vision to say like I know what y'all seen, because we were all.

00:15:57.466 --> 00:15:58.428
How could it be?

00:15:58.428 --> 00:16:01.957
12 individuals in one place but everybody seen different things?

00:16:01.957 --> 00:16:06.889
How is it?

00:16:06.889 --> 00:16:08.674
We're reading the same Bible.

00:16:08.674 --> 00:16:15.957
We're reading the Gospels about Jesus, matthew, mark, luke and John.

00:16:15.957 --> 00:16:18.514
Have you not heard that he came here?

00:16:18.514 --> 00:16:20.692
This is not a fairy tale.

00:16:20.692 --> 00:16:22.351
He was actually here on earth.

00:16:22.351 --> 00:16:28.267
He came and he died, he was buried and he was resurrected For us.

00:16:28.388 --> 00:16:33.434
Are you trying to tell me you don't believe how I have so much faith and your faith is so little?

00:16:33.434 --> 00:16:36.533
What has God done for you?

00:16:36.533 --> 00:16:40.268
Have you forgot what he's done for you?

00:16:40.268 --> 00:16:45.020
The best thing he did for you was save you.

00:16:45.020 --> 00:16:47.576
Have you taken that for granted?

00:16:47.576 --> 00:16:50.817
Is it just a mere checklist?

00:16:50.817 --> 00:16:52.196
And we have that checklist too.

00:16:52.196 --> 00:16:54.115
Addy Folks, just go to church.

00:16:54.115 --> 00:16:55.876
Oh, yeah, I went to church today.

00:16:55.876 --> 00:16:58.255
Check, I took communion today.

00:16:58.255 --> 00:17:01.275
Check, I read my verse today.

00:17:01.275 --> 00:17:04.877
Check, I did my five-second prayer.

00:17:04.877 --> 00:17:06.215
Maybe 10-second prayer.

00:17:06.215 --> 00:17:06.478
Check, oh, I.

00:17:06.478 --> 00:17:06.903
Five second prayer.

00:17:06.903 --> 00:17:07.589
Maybe 10 second prayer.

00:17:07.589 --> 00:17:09.733
Check, oh, I'm good with God.

00:17:09.733 --> 00:17:13.542
You mean to tell me, are we serving the same God?

00:17:14.790 --> 00:17:16.253
That and that's the important part.

00:17:16.253 --> 00:17:28.601
It's, it's the, it's the Stop putting God on your little checklist type mentality, because for them it was okay.

00:17:28.601 --> 00:17:35.063
Yeah, I saw him do that, but right, I saw him do that, but we still got to.

00:17:35.063 --> 00:17:36.589
That's Egypt.

00:17:36.589 --> 00:17:41.603
But we, looking at the Jebusites, the Canaanites, that's Egypt.

00:17:41.603 --> 00:17:43.576
Egypt is more powerful than all of them.

00:17:43.576 --> 00:17:45.692
They feared Egypt.

00:17:45.692 --> 00:18:02.309
All of those Jebusites, canaanites, perizzites, all of them, they feared Egypt and God, oh, thank you, holy Spirit, god defeated Egypt.

00:18:02.309 --> 00:18:04.377
God defeated Egypt.

00:18:04.377 --> 00:18:10.963
So those people already know who y'all are, they know who's fighting for you.

00:18:10.963 --> 00:18:15.237
But do you know who's fighting for you?

00:18:15.237 --> 00:18:19.384
When your enemy knows your God better than you?

00:18:19.384 --> 00:18:36.291
Problem, that is a whole problem.

00:18:36.291 --> 00:18:39.785
When your enemy knows that your god is fighting for you and you don't even realize that your god is fighting for you.

00:18:39.805 --> 00:18:40.468
That's a problem.

00:18:40.468 --> 00:18:40.848
That's a problem.

00:18:40.868 --> 00:18:41.590
that's a problem.

00:18:41.590 --> 00:18:48.763
It's like when I was in school, my, my sister, my sister, my sister was a thug.

00:18:48.763 --> 00:18:52.077
Okay, everybody knew my sister, right.

00:18:52.077 --> 00:18:58.246
When I went to school, all I had to say was my last name and who my sister was.

00:18:59.469 --> 00:18:59.589
Yeah.

00:18:59.809 --> 00:19:04.941
And everybody was like such and such is your sister, guess what?

00:19:04.941 --> 00:19:06.584
They ain't bothering me.

00:19:06.584 --> 00:19:13.461
And if they did bother me, my sister be like, don't worry, I'll be out there.

00:19:13.461 --> 00:19:14.673
I'll be out there.

00:19:14.673 --> 00:19:17.915
Tomorrow I'm going to school with you.

00:19:17.915 --> 00:19:24.482
When they see her walking with me, they like, oh, we better leave her alone.

00:19:24.482 --> 00:19:27.300
We better leave her alone.

00:19:27.300 --> 00:19:28.289
We better leave her alone.

00:19:29.191 --> 00:19:30.534
Let's look at the children of Israel.

00:19:30.534 --> 00:19:35.344
God defeats the gods of Egypt.

00:19:35.344 --> 00:19:41.394
Oh, not only does he defeat the gods of Egypt, he defeats the leaders of Egypt.

00:19:41.394 --> 00:19:48.098
The leaders of Egypt because their gods are spiritual.

00:19:48.098 --> 00:19:56.766
Not only does he defeat the spiritual, he also defeats the physical, the one you could see, the one that had all the mouth.

00:19:56.766 --> 00:19:59.387
Who's your God, right?

00:19:59.387 --> 00:20:02.292
He defeats them.

00:20:04.157 --> 00:20:05.461
And the people in Canaan land?

00:20:05.461 --> 00:20:11.798
They notice you and you bring in what report?

00:20:11.798 --> 00:20:13.801
You scared of what now?

00:20:13.801 --> 00:20:15.244
You scared of who?

00:20:15.244 --> 00:20:18.032
Now come on man.

00:20:18.032 --> 00:20:28.030
And that's why I said there are times that our enemies, they look, look at us and they be like she should not be in this position or in this state.

00:20:28.030 --> 00:20:32.638
But they see our God better than we see our own God.

00:20:32.638 --> 00:20:36.105
And that's the problem.

00:20:36.105 --> 00:20:40.038
Because we open our mouths, we have all these big mouths.

00:20:40.038 --> 00:20:54.824
Oh, praise the Lord, hallelujah, I'm blessed and highly favored and I'm this and I'm that, but your enemy sees your God better than you Because all blessed and I'm highly favored and I'm this and I'm that, but your enemy sees your God better than you because all you have is this you only have mouth, no action.

00:20:56.309 --> 00:20:56.631
Mercy.

00:20:56.631 --> 00:21:17.290
Hey, sister Addie, I know we got to wrap things up because I know you got to leave pretty soon, but let me say this, let me say this and this is why Caleb and Kalev has this reputation, and this is why we wanted to highlight him, although we talked about the spies, but the main individual we really wanted to highlight was Caleb, because he did what he did y'all.

00:21:17.290 --> 00:21:22.982
Caleb was able to remain alive in the wilderness and live to see the promised land.

00:21:22.982 --> 00:21:24.713
So that's in Numbers, 1438.

00:21:24.713 --> 00:21:28.811
Caleb also conquered Hebron at the age of 85.

00:21:29.333 --> 00:21:33.020
So in this day and age, we'll say that's a senior, that's an elderly man.

00:21:33.020 --> 00:21:38.919
He belonged in a nursery home, but Caleb conquered Hebron at the age of 85.

00:21:38.919 --> 00:21:44.654
So not only that, he conquered, he was blessed with the land of Hebron.

00:21:44.654 --> 00:21:49.844
So Caleb was an individual that followed God wholeheartedly.

00:21:49.844 --> 00:21:52.839
He really, really, really loved the Lord.

00:21:52.839 --> 00:22:05.054
And also, lastly, the most important piece all of them is important, y'all but he also conquered the sons of Anak and Addie.

00:22:05.054 --> 00:22:17.777
I want you to close out with that and Joshua 15, 14, because the very same thing that these people was concerned about, caleb backed it up, because it's easy for us, but we know it's not Caleb doing it.

00:22:17.777 --> 00:22:20.542
It's really God doing it and God gave him credit.

00:22:20.542 --> 00:22:21.872
Ain't that something?

00:22:21.872 --> 00:22:25.939
The Bible says that Caleb conquered the sons of anech.

00:22:25.939 --> 00:22:29.652
Yes, he conquered it, but it was god who did it, but gave him the credit.

00:22:29.652 --> 00:22:35.763
Let me tell you something.

00:22:37.307 --> 00:22:45.660
Go ahead, addy, go ahead, go ahead, go ahead I know you want me to read 14, but I can't just I gotta start from six all the way down.

00:22:45.901 --> 00:22:50.936
I know I got the Bible study going on but I have to, all right, read six all the way down and then we're going to close.

00:22:50.936 --> 00:22:51.739
Go ahead, okay.

00:22:51.798 --> 00:22:52.119
It says.

00:22:52.119 --> 00:22:58.816
Then the children of Judah approached Joshua and Gilgal and Kalev, the son of Jephunneh.

00:22:58.816 --> 00:23:09.483
The Kenizzite said to him you know the word that Jehovah spoke to Moses, the man of God, concerning me and concerning you, in Kadesh Barnea.

00:23:09.483 --> 00:23:28.029
I was 40 years old when Moses, the servant of Jehovah, sent me out of Kadesh Barnea to spy out the land, and I returned with such a word to him as was genuinely upon my heart, genuinely upon my heart.

00:23:28.029 --> 00:23:48.854
However, my brothers who went up with me made the people's heart melt, but I fully followed Jehovah, my God, and Moses swore on that day, saying surely the land on which your foot has trodden will be an inheritance to you and your children forever, for you have fully followed.

00:23:48.854 --> 00:24:11.433
Jehovah has kept me alive, as he said word to Moses while Israel walked through the wilderness.

00:24:11.493 --> 00:24:12.576
And now look, today, I am 85 years old.

00:24:12.576 --> 00:24:17.526
Today, I am still as strong as I was on the day Moses sent me out, as my strength was then.

00:24:17.526 --> 00:24:37.298
So my strength is now for battle and for going out and coming in Now, therefore, and for going out and coming in Now, therefore, give me this hill country of which Jehovah spoke on that day, for you heard on that day that the Anakim were there with great fortified cities.

00:24:37.298 --> 00:24:39.394
I'm sorry.

00:24:39.394 --> 00:24:49.761
I'm getting happy, yet may it be that Jehovah will be with me and I will dispossess them, as Jehovah has said.

00:24:49.761 --> 00:24:59.261
So, joshua blessed him and gave him Hebron I'm sorry and gave Hebron to Kalev, the son of Jephunneh, as an inheritance.

00:24:59.261 --> 00:25:05.742
Therefore, hebron became the inheritance of Kalev, the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite.

00:25:19.390 --> 00:25:20.111
Wow, now read 15, 14.

00:25:20.171 --> 00:25:21.771
Joshua 15, 14.

00:25:21.771 --> 00:25:35.144
Joshua 15, 14 says and Khalif drove out the three sons of Anak from there, sushai, hanayim and Telmai, the children of Anak.

00:25:35.164 --> 00:25:36.446
Wow.

00:25:37.170 --> 00:25:39.578
Now you can't tell me our God don't fight for us today.

00:25:39.578 --> 00:25:45.576
If he could do it for Khalif, he could do it for us, and I dropped the mic.

00:25:47.732 --> 00:25:59.203
Yeah, this episode definitely, was definitely a blessing, like you mean the spirit of Caleb need to dwell in us, to trust in God wholeheartedly, to serve God wholeheartedly.

00:25:59.203 --> 00:26:01.545
Like his faith had to have been on another level.

00:26:01.545 --> 00:26:05.881
Yeah, he even said like, hey, I'm going to go among these people and God is going to be with me.

00:26:05.881 --> 00:26:09.922
That's why I said that it was God that was with them and he really believed that.

00:26:09.922 --> 00:26:15.018
Yeah, so god was fighting to fight for him and that's why I said god was fighting to fight for him.

00:26:15.018 --> 00:26:16.691
Yeah, and god said you know what?

00:26:16.691 --> 00:26:19.957
I'm gonna give you the credit yeah but god did it.

00:26:20.798 --> 00:26:21.338
Oh, mercy.

00:26:21.338 --> 00:26:25.637
You see, you see how, how you know, you know I always say that, humanity, we're selfish.

00:26:25.637 --> 00:26:27.288
Yeah, you see how, how you know, you know I always say that, humanity, we're selfish.

00:26:27.288 --> 00:26:28.776
Yeah, you see how God is selfless.

00:26:28.776 --> 00:26:34.671
Everything else belongs to him and he's, he's, he's willing to give it to us, like, hey, yeah, yeah, I'm.

00:26:34.671 --> 00:26:39.826
I want y'all to to be just like me, selfless.

00:26:39.826 --> 00:26:42.471
Yeah, yeah, he conquered the enemy.

00:26:42.471 --> 00:26:43.911
He gave them credit.

00:26:43.931 --> 00:26:44.672
Yeah, conquered the enemy.

00:26:44.672 --> 00:26:45.332
He gave them credit.

00:26:45.332 --> 00:26:45.592
Yeah, yeah.

00:26:47.792 --> 00:26:48.133
Why?

00:26:48.133 --> 00:26:49.614
Because of Caleb's faith.

00:26:49.614 --> 00:26:55.517
Yeah, because all the other leaders, the 10 leaders, had the people in disarray.

00:26:56.237 --> 00:26:56.458
Yeah.

00:26:56.938 --> 00:27:09.163
And there are leaders like that that will bring bad news to the people when where, on the other hand, you have leaders like Brother Daniels that say, hey, man, we got to have faith.

00:27:09.844 --> 00:27:09.983
Yeah.

00:27:10.064 --> 00:27:10.805
We got to have faith.

00:27:10.805 --> 00:27:11.964
Let's just trust in God.

00:27:11.964 --> 00:27:14.467
Yeah, it looks ugly right now.

00:27:14.467 --> 00:27:17.387
Yeah, but I know the type of God that I serve.

00:27:17.387 --> 00:27:21.058
Yeah, the same God yesterday, today and forevermore life.

00:27:21.058 --> 00:27:26.115
Yeah, he could do all things but fail yeah, so that's how I want to end it.

00:27:26.115 --> 00:27:34.442
And he could do all things but fail yeah, so that's how I want to end it, and this episode definitely was a blessing and I hope, trust and pray that it bless you as much as it bless Adney and I.

00:27:34.609 --> 00:27:35.894
You see, we just went on a run.

00:27:35.894 --> 00:27:37.618
You know, sunday, y'all, it's Sunday.

00:27:37.618 --> 00:27:40.247
I was filled, adney filled.

00:27:40.247 --> 00:27:41.335
Adney was going in.

00:27:42.570 --> 00:27:46.981
It is discussions like this that makes the reason why we do what we do.

00:27:46.981 --> 00:27:53.663
So until then, y'all you know, we're wrapping it up, but remember that jesus christ, he loves you.

00:27:53.663 --> 00:27:56.136
He loves you.

00:27:56.136 --> 00:28:07.864
If you haven't obeyed the gospel, all you need to do is hear, believe, repent and you need to confess and be baptized for the remission of your sins and type into Google and find the local church of Christ.

00:28:07.864 --> 00:28:10.212
Find the local church of Christ.

00:28:10.252 --> 00:28:18.979
But it's not only about that, but it's also about building a relationship, y'all with Jesus Christ, because anybody could do what I just said.

00:28:18.979 --> 00:28:21.609
But it's about building a relationship.

00:28:21.609 --> 00:28:30.923
If you don't know how to do that, you're being in denial, because I know at some point you had to love somebody or like somebody or lust after somebody.

00:28:30.923 --> 00:28:36.563
But we're talking about a relationship, an agape love that God wants to have with you.

00:28:36.563 --> 00:28:40.059
He got his arms open and you're constantly running away from him.

00:28:40.059 --> 00:28:44.396
God wants to establish that relationship and we know our relationship was shattered.

00:28:44.396 --> 00:28:56.844
It was broken from the foundations of this world and this is why Jesus Christ came back so he can bring us back together in a sweet communion with God, the father, and our Lord and our savior, jesus Christ.

00:28:56.844 --> 00:28:57.551
So it's a wrap.

00:28:57.551 --> 00:28:58.714
It's a wrap.

00:28:58.714 --> 00:29:04.377
Remember that Jesus Christ, he is the king of kings and he is the Lord of Lords until then, be blessed.
