Giants Can’t Stop You – Read Num. 14:6-8
When God has something for us, nothing can stop us from getting it, not even giants. But clearly, no one told that to the ten spies who brought Israel the discouraging report from the Promised Land. With instructions to search the land that God had given to the children of Israel, twelve men set out for Canaan. Once there, ten men became overwhelmed by the presence of the enemy that was in the land. Despite visibly abundant provision, these men could only see what they perceived as strong opposition.
You and I are sometimes like the ten spies who could only see the impossibilities. Instead, we desperately need to remember that if the Lord delights in us, He will bring us into the land, no matter where that land might be.
Think of the countless promises that God has made us that we have allowed friends to talk us out of, fear to cheat us out of, and tradition to wrench from our hands. Just because people can’t see it happening for them doesn’t mean it won’t happen for you. Just because others say you won’t doesn’t mean they’re telling the truth. And just because something has never been done before doesn’t mean that you can’t do it.
The only way we can be cheated out of what God has for us is if we become like grasshoppers in our own eyes. If there is a lid, you will have to put it on. If there is a stopping point, you will have to erect the wall. You are the only hindrance to your entrance into the promised land. Even the enemies that remain in your promise are there to assist you. If you don’t believe me, read Judges 3:1, 2. The reason God left enemies in the land promised to Israel was to teach them how to war.
What giant has caused you to return a report of defeat? If God has something for you, nothing can stop you from getting it, not even giants!

Good morning and you for all the encouragement . You will know how many people life you have touch. Continue to let God use you and are a blessing. May the Lord blee you richly for your heart and compassion for people. Grandma
Dr D this is CONFIRMATION! Learning to work the promises of God’s Word and his power results in physical manifestation of him being operative in my life! Powerful word!!!
This was such an inspirational message as I begin to start a group study called “Don’t Give the Enemy a Seat at Your Table”. The enemy tries to erect himself as a giant in our lives and make us think that we are small and therefore incapable of defeating him. I may have gone out with the 12 spies but I came back like Caleb and Joshua trusting that God will enable me to take the land no matter how big the giant is “perceived”. The enemy is deceptive above all things and if he can get into our mind then he will try to gain a foothold and gain victory over our lives. Thank you Dr. D for reminding us that we are the only hindrance to our entrance into the promised land. I see what God sees and therefore I am able to conquer it.

Awesome Devotional
Put your TRUST in no man.
God has already declared the plans he has got for our lives. Plans to prosper us and not harm us. Plans to give us a hope and a future. AMEN????????❣️
Absolutely a blessing and reminder that God knows what He is doing. Sometimes I have to be reminded that the enemies that are allowed in my promise are there to help me stay closer to following God’s direction. Thank You!
I love this message. You’re so right , nothing can stop what God is gonna do in our lives.
