The Two Faithful Spies

When we look at the Old Test we see Moses sending 12 spies into the Promised Land...not a good move...God had already told them that He would fight for them...God already showed them a year earlier that "giants" were no problem for Him...He was the giant killer. God took down the super power nation of that time...He took down the "giant" Egypt...and totally destroyed her.

Sending in spies was a sign of unbelief towards God.

Joshua also sent in spies...only two...why have the ten witnesses of doubt come along?

These men weren't going in to see if they should take the land, they were going in to see how they were going to go about doing it.

How about you? Do you ever go into the enemies territory? Do you spy out the land to see how you can take captives for your King?

Or are you like many Christians today, afraid of stepping out of your comfort zone...because hey...there are giants outside of that zone aren't there?

Christians need to start praying for specific unbelievers...then we need to put leather under our prayers and start building relationships with unbelievers, relationships that include the gospel, relationships that work towards making the unbeliever a believer...this takes work...it takes sacrifice...it takes stepping out of our comfort zone...

We are told to make disciples of the nations...and yet the nations are not busting down the door to get into the church...hmmm...maybe the door works both ways...maybe we are supposed to go into the world with the good news...novel idea isn't it.
