March 28, 2023: Don't Listen To Doubters

"Then the men who had gone up with him said, "We are not able to go up against the people, for they are stronger than we are." (Numbers 13:31, ESV)

If there is one thing we can learn from Numbers thirteen, it is "Don't listen to doubters." Say this with me, "I refuse to listen to doubters." You have to make up your mind about not listening to doubters. It was the doubt and unbelief of the ten spies that stopped Israel from going in to possess what God had promised. 

Their biggest problem was seeing their problems as bigger than their God. The people are strong, the cities fortified, and giants are there. When you forget what God has done before, you will be more inclined to doubt and not see God in your future.

The other major issue the ten spies had was how they saw themselves. They saw themselves as weak compared to the people of the land. They saw themselves as grasshoppers compared to the giants in the land. They believed the lie that God had brought them to the land to kill them. Whenever we believe a lie, not the truth, we surrender our future to the destroyer. 

We must see ourselves as God sees us. And we must see God as He really is. As Bill Johnson says, "I can't afford to have a thought in my head that God doesn't have in His head." Therefore...Do not listen to doubters! They will rob your future!
