You know the story. God brought His children to the border of the promised land. They had His promises to stand on. They had been outcasts, abused, enslaved, they were “losers” from the perspective of others looking in from the outside, without a home, without a nation. All they had to do was go in and claim the promises of God.
Ten of the twelve spies came back and told the facts: the giants are huge, we were powerless in our own opinion. The facts, mind you, but not the truth.
But Caleb…
Caleb was completely undaunted. His immediate response: “We should by all means go up and take possession of it, for we will surely overcome it.” No fear, no hesitation, only trust that God will deliver them a nation to call their own.
The fearmongers retaliated: “The land through which we have gone, in spying it out, is a land that devours its inhabitants; and all the people whom we saw in it are men of great size. “There also we saw the Nephilim (the sons of Anak are part of the Nephilim); and we became like grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were in their sight.”
Some very grave mistakes were made that day that cost them all another 40-year circuit through the wilderness, in which most of them died because God was not willing to trust the promised land to such cowards.
We are seeing an exact parallel today.
The Nephilim are seemingly in control of the land. Big tech seems untouchable as they shut down the Second Amendment. Big government is blatantly pushing their anti-God agenda with seeming impunity. Big pharma (in bed with big government) is stoking fear in the masses and turning many Christians, including major Christian pastors and leaders, into the ten cowards. And most other Christians seem woefully defeated as they cannot possibly calculate a natural path to victory over such odds.
But Caleb…
Caleb understood that the battle was not his. Yes, he was willing to go in and fight for his rights, and he had the chance 40 years later at the ripe young age of eighty-something. He was undaunted, even in his old age, going in to fight against odds that were seemingly overwhelmingly against him. But he won. Because God fought the battle for him.
We are in just such a position today. We don’t need to understand the physical or natural path to victory, because there is not an easy natural path to victory. When Gideon was prepared to go to battle against the Midianites, God purposefully whittled his army down to 300 men to go out against an army of 160,000. Why? God tells us why: “The people who are with you are too many for Me to give Midian into their hands, for Israel would become boastful, saying, ‘My own power has delivered me.”
In typical God fashion, He is paving the way to bring Himself the glory He deserves. This battle will not be won by our natural strength, but by the shrewdness, the spiritual power, the authority over evil, and the wisdom and strength of God Himself.
We are His hands and feet. We certainly have a role in rescuing our nation. We must use the tools at our disposal, just as Gideon had to go ahead and march out against the Midianites. We have no proof at all that he knew God’s plan. He was willing to fight, with his 300, against an army that was “numerous as locusts, and their camels without number, as numerous as the sand on the seashore” (Numbers 7:12).
You and I have a choice at this pivotal time in the history of our nation. I am not embellishing or exaggerating one bit. What happens these next few months will change the complexion of this country forever.
Our choice is this: will we be like Caleb? Will we be one of the 300? Or will we cower down in the face of the Nephilim, afraid to risk our own skin to receive the gift God is handing to us?
God said to Moses:
“Surely all the men who have seen My glory and My signs which I performed in Egypt and in the wilderness, yet have put Me to the test these ten times and have not listened to My voice, shall by no means see the land which I swore to their fathers, nor shall any of those who spurned Me see it. But My servant Caleb, because he has had a different spirit and has followed Me fully, I will bring into the land which he entered, and his descendants shall take possession of it.”
Those Christians who do not understand the times are on dangerous ground. They will not be able to share in the victory. America will be saved, of this I have no doubt. We may not understand exactly how, but it will happen, and those who disbelieved all along will ultimately come to understand that they were fighting against God the whole time.
God helped to found this nation on biblical principles. Principles that guaranteed freedom and protection to all, regardless of gender, skin color, or religious persuasion. He is not ready to just give it all up. God is not wringing His hands, wondering how He’s going to pull this off.
What He is doing, and this is the crux of the matter, is this:
God is whittling His army down to 300 faithful warriors. That’s what this whole thing is about. With just a small remnant that are 100% sold out to Him He can then take the nation back for His purposes. And He will succeed. The question is, will you be one of the 300 or one of the two spies that said “By all means we should go in and take the land,” eventually able to share in the victory, or will you be condemned to dying in the wilderness?
God is giving you the choice today.
Choose wisely.
