PROMISED LAND: HERE WE COME
4~/27~/2002 AND 4~/28~/2002
Intro and Background:
Several weeks ago there were several prophetic words about entering the Promised Land.
They were right and accurate.
In the midst of those words I heard the phrase “CLARIFY THE PROMISED LAND.”
In other words, */what promises are we supposed to possess?/*
I was also listening to a cassette by Willie George about the Spirit of Faith.
So I have decided to preach to myself this weekend and let you all listen in.
The Bible story is a classic that we have read and heard preached for years, but this is where we are.
In this story Moses has led the people of Israel out of slavery in Egypt and God has given them a physical land in modern day Israel and beyond.
He told them to go possess it.
The people of Israel had slave mentalities.
They were used to being taken care of.
They had to work hard but they had security.
There were no surprises.
They never really prospered but they knew the future.
Moses on the other hand had been raised in the household of the Pharoah and the New Testament said he was educated in the ways of the Egyptians and was powerful in word and deed.
He had been exposed to big dreams and big plans.
He got his theology from God but he learned leadership at the school of Pharoah and his father-in-law Jethro.
They people receive the law on Mount Sinai.
They become a people with God as their leader.
He takes them to the edge of the land He had promised them and said go take it.
I have given it to you.
Moses sent twelve spies and 10 came back saying it is a good land, but we can’t do it.
2 spies, Joshua and Caleb said of course we can take it, God will help us.
God was angry with that generation so He waited until they died out and then told Joshua to take the land.
They did it.
*Those who said they could do it, did it.
Those who said they couldn’t didn’t do it.*

Numbers 13
1 ¶ The LORD said to Moses,
2 "Send some men to explore the land of Canaan, which I am giving to the Israelites.
From each ancestral tribe send one of its leaders."
3 So at the LORD's command Moses sent them out from the Desert of Paran.
All of them were leaders of the Israelites.
17 When Moses sent them to explore Canaan, he said, "Go up through the Negev and on into the hill country.
18 See what the land is like and whether the people who live there are strong or weak, few or many.
19 What kind of land do they live in?
Is it good or bad?
What kind of towns do they live in?
Are they unwalled or fortified?
20 How is the soil?
Is it fertile or poor?
Are there trees on it or not?
Do your best to bring back some of the fruit of the land."
(It was the season for the first ripe grapes.)
21 ¶ So they went up and explored the land from the Desert of Zin as far as Rehob, towards Lebo Hamath.
22 They went up through the Negev and came to Hebron, where Ahiman, Sheshai and Talmai, the descendants of Anak, lived.
(Hebron had been built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.)
23 When they reached the Valley of Eshcol, they cut off a branch bearing a single cluster of grapes.
Two of them carried it on a pole between them, along with some pomegranates and figs.
24 That place was called the Valley of Eshcol because of the cluster of grapes the Israelites cut off there.
25 At the end of forty days they returned from exploring the land.
26 ¶ They came back to Moses and Aaron and the whole Israelite community at Kadesh in the Desert of Paran.
There they reported to them and to the whole assembly and showed them the fruit of the land.
27 They gave Moses this account: "We went into the land to which you sent us, and it does flow with milk and honey!
Here is its fruit.
28 But the people who live there are powerful, and the cities are fortified and very large.
We even saw descendants of Anak there.
29 The Amalekites live in the Negev; the Hittites, Jebusites and Amorites live in the hill country; and the Canaanites live near the sea and along the Jordan."
30 Then Caleb silenced the people before Moses and said, "We should go up and take possession of the land, for we can certainly do it."
31 But the men who had gone up with him said, "We can't attack those people; they are stronger than we are."
32 And they spread among the Israelites a bad report about the land they had explored.
They said, "The land we explored devours those living in it.
All the people we saw there are of great size.
(THERE WERE GIANTS IN THE LAND)
33 We saw the Nephilim there (the descendants of Anak come from the Nephilim).
We seemed like grasshoppers in our own eyes, and we looked the same to them."
14
1 ¶ That night all the people of the community raised their voices and wept aloud.
2 All the Israelites grumbled against Moses and Aaron, and the whole assembly said to them, "If only we had died in Egypt!
Or in this desert!
3 Why is the LORD bringing us to this land only to let us fall by the sword?
Our wives and children will be taken as plunder.
Wouldn't it be better for us to go back to Egypt?"
4 And they said to each other, "We should choose a leader and go back to Egypt."
5 ¶ Then Moses and Aaron fell face down in front of the whole Israelite assembly gathered there.
6 Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh, who were among those who had explored the land, tore their clothes
7 and said to the entire Israelite assembly, "The land we passed through and explored is exceedingly good.
8 If the LORD is pleased with us, he will lead us into that land, a land flowing with milk and honey, and will give it to us.
9 Only do not rebel against the LORD.
And do not be afraid of the people of the land, because we will swallow them up.
Their protection is gone, but the LORD is with us.
Do not be afraid of them."
10 But the whole assembly talked about stoning them.
Then the glory of the LORD appeared at the Tent of Meeting to all the Israelites.
11 ¶ The LORD said to Moses, "How long will these people treat me with contempt?
How long will they refuse to believe in me, in spite of all the miraculous signs I have performed among them?
-You know the story after that.
They spent 40 years in the land of regrets.
Joshua 1
1 ¶ After the death of Moses the servant of the LORD, the LORD said to Joshua son of Nun, Moses' assistant:
2 "Moses my servant is dead.
Now then, you and all these people, get ready to cross the Jordan River into the land I am about to give to them--to the Israelites.
3 I will give you every place where you set your foot, as I promised Moses.
4 Your territory will extend from the desert to Lebanon, and from the great river, the Euphrates--all the Hittite country-- to the Great Sea on the west.
5 No-one will be able to stand up against you all the days of your life.
As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you.
6 "Be strong and courageous, because you will lead these people to inherit the land I swore to their forefathers to give them.
7 Be strong and very courageous.
