0501 Posessing The Promise

PROBLEM IN THE PROMISE

Joshua 14:6-15; 15:14

Caleb followed God well God called us to follow not lead our lives well We don’t focus on changing our live but following Christ Goal is not to become better person but better follower To follow you have to forsake – keep your past in the past. You can’t take everything with you into relationship When you follow in live in the shadow of the Jesus Follow and He will make you – egg and bad people change

God gives promise first then land Land without promise is very short lived

Your promises have problems in them Children have giants, spouse has giants, ministry has giants, land has giants, money has giants You can’t just occupy it, you have to fight for it Jesus bought the field not just the treasure…God is still killing the giants in you 10 spies didn’t have a problem with the land but that it was occupied

Giants scared away 10 spies, Caleb drove away giants, David killed them God punished people who ran from giants…they wanted God to get rid of giants, God got rid of them Fear doesn’t keep you from full potention, it kills what you got…God doesn’t endorse fear Faith drives problems away, fear drives you away….

Hebron not wilderness or well-watered plains. Hebron “fellowship” – mountain First piece of Promise Land Abraham owned. Burial of Sarah, Abraham, Isaac, Rebekah, Jacob, Joseph Enemy put giants strateggly in the place of your relationship with God He will use money problems but his target is Hebron Relationship with God is the source of blessing…..
