Defiant Faith

Consider this: Ten of the twelve spies Moses sent into the promised land looked at the inhabitants and forgot the promise of God. They allowed doubt and fear to rob them of their inheritance. Only two of the spies, Caleb and Joshua, looked at the inhabitants of the land and declared, “The Lord has given us this land.”

The time to choose faith is always now, and this season is no different. In this hour, I am calling you to arise in greater levels of faith and to believe in me like never before. For those who choose to tenaciously hold to my promises, I will multiply the anointing of the spiritual gift of faith in you. This is a defiant faith that refuses to shudder at the enemy, defies obstacles, ignores worldly realities, and instead declares the victories of the Kingdom of God long before they are seen in the natural. Trust in my faithfulness and who I am, boldly declare my promises as you remember what I have said. And as you do, watch faith arise in you as you see yourself being strengthened and increased in the Spirit.

Activation: Read Numbers 14:6-9 and ask God to give you the faith of Joshua and Caleb. Spend time with the Holy Spirit asking him to reveal to you the areas where you view yourself as too small or powerless to step into his promises. Repent of partnering with this lie. Ask him to show you what you look like in the spirit realm compared to the obstacles that you face. Take each promise that God has given you and decree over it “Truly the Lord has given me this land.”

Numbers 14:6-9 (ESV)

And Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, who were among those who had spied out the land, tore their clothes and said to all the congregation of the people of Israel, “The land, which we passed through to spy it out, is an exceedingly good land. If the LORD delights in us, he will bring us into this land and give it to us, a land that flows with milk and honey. Only do not rebel against the LORD. And do not fear the people of the land, for they are bread for us. Their protection is removed from them, and the LORD is with us; do not fear them.”

Job 22:28 (NASB)

You will also decree a thing, and it will be established for you; And light will shine on your ways.
