What are you waiting for?

Intro: There comes a moment in time when a reaction or an action needs to be done Paul had come to this moment he'd come to this aha moment in his life if you look back in history we see that the children of Israel came to an aha moment in their life. In the book of numbers chapter 16 we read where the children of Israel had come to the promised land they had sent spies into the promised land to tell them exactly what they're up against. And ten of the spies came back giving a a bad report say in the land is filled with giants the giants are too big for us. You got Joshua and Caleb gave a totally different report let us examine this for just a second.

But we know we are promised Jesus for he will never leave us nor forsake us he says if you deny me then I will deny you and he says if you claim me I will claim you claim Jesus to day before it's too late claimed him while he may be found
