Joshua and Caleb responded, "Do not rebel against the LORD; and do not fear the people of the land, for they shall be our prey. Their protection has been removed from them, and the LORD is with us; do not fear them" (Numbers 14:9). The people did rebel. They accepted the majority report instead of listening to Caleb and Joshua. By accepting the Canaanites' will over God's will, they elevated the power and eminence of the Canaanites over the omnipotence and omnipresence of God. To honor God as the ultimate fear-object is to worship Him. To be controlled by any other fear-object is to allow it to usurp God's place in our lives.
Lets take the bold part there and look at the general Christians attitude to wards revival.
I see people hanging on the end times which will happen don't get me wrong but I find a DEFEATED attitude among Christians that because they see so much evil it is just to much to turn the tide.
I say that's what my old Paster called "Stinking Thinking"!
We INSTEAD should clean up our thought process and hang on to GOD'S promise.......................
"If My people, who are called by My Name, will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land." 2 Chronicles 7:14
