Summary

Summary prepared by Acts 2:38 Life from the transcript below — the preacher’s words follow in full.

The text: a generation that could not enter in

  • The head text is read entire: some who came out of Egypt by Moses provoked; God was grieved forty years with them that had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness; he sware they should not enter into his rest — to them that believed not.
  • It was not a large army, not giants in the land, not fortified walls that kept that generation out; it was something much more powerful than walls and giants: unbelief.
  • The announced word for tonight: unbelief has to die — and if it dies, God will lead someone out of a season of turmoil into a season of rest and peace.

Scriptures: Hebrews 3:16-19

The spies: a preview turned into an evil report

  • God allowed Moses to send the spies — of every tribe a ruler among them — to search a land he had already given them; their job was to bring back a preview of the land of peace, not a verdict on whether it could be taken.
  • The land was everything promised: it floweth with milk and honey, and the cluster of grapes was so large it was carried between two men on staves — but the report turned: the people are too strong, the cities walled and very great, and giants dwell there.
  • Caleb — the faithful, wholehearted voice — speaks up against the ten: 'Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it.' Tonight someone needs a Caleb in their life.
  • The evil report is exaggeration and lie: a land that 'eateth up the inhabitants thereof' did not eat up the twelve who walked it, and 'we were in our own sight as grasshoppers' shows the first battle is how you view yourself.

Scriptures: Numbers 13:2; Numbers 13:27-28; Numbers 13:30; Numbers 13:32-33

The congregation believes the report — and God answers

  • The congregation lifts up its voice and weeps, murmurs against Moses and Aaron, wishes it had died in Egypt, and talks of appointing a captain to go back — back to taskmasters and whips rather than forward into a land already theirs.
  • God answers: 'How long will this people provoke me? and how long will it be ere they believe me, for all the signs which I have showed among them?' — was the Red Sea splitting not enough? He will smite them with pestilence and make of Moses a greater and mightier nation.
  • Moses mediates and pleads God's mercy, and God pardons — but what the people believed comes to pass: 'In this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die'; the men who brought the evil report died by the plague before the Lord, while Joshua and Caleb lived still.
  • The principle stands for tonight: whatever you believe about yourself is what you will get — believe you will die in the wilderness and you will; believe tonight that you can step into the land of peace, and you can.

Scriptures: Numbers 14:1-2; Numbers 14:11-12; Numbers 14:35; Numbers 14:37-38

Kill the source: unbelief has to die tonight

  • The first step to killing unbelief is to kill its source — the negative report: cut off the voices that tell you you cannot have joy, whether it is a person, a situation, or a false-doctrine voice that says you do not have to receive the Holy Ghost with the biblical evidence of speaking in other tongues.
  • Unbelief stops God from working: Jesus came to a place wanting to do great things, and he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief; unbelief robs joy, healing, and the peace that passeth all understanding.
  • Believing is not just believing if God can — it is believing when: when the peace will come, when the joy will come, when the healing comes; and we believe because the word says by his stripes we were healed.
  • He tells of a woman in Trinity, Alabama whose body was stricken with cancer until her legs were locked: she heard a message about healing, believed it, and acted on it — all she could give God was a feeble side-to-side waddle of praise — and God honored her belief, healing her and giving her mobility in her legs.
  • The call: believe and act upon what you believe — come to the altar for the gift of the Holy Ghost, for healing, for peace; a young man is baptized in Jesus name during the response (his name is withheld from these points).

wilderness and to whom swear he that he should not they should not enter into his rest notice that right there that they should not enter into his rest but to them that believe not why did a gener generation miss out on a place of rest why did a generation miss out on what God had for them was it a large army that made them miss out was it Giants in the land or fortified walls it was something so much more powerful than Giants it was something so much more powerful than fortified walls so we see that they could not enter in because of would you say that last word with me unbelief was it Giants that they couldn't enter in no was it fortified walls it was it they were there but that's not the reason why it was something so much more powerful than walls and Giants it was something called unbelief I want to preach to you for just a few short moments tonight I feel like if we respond to God I there's been there's been words that have been spoken behind this pull pit tonight there's been a theme throughout this service that God has come to move in someone's life and I want to Echo those words I want to preach to you unbelief has to die unbelief has to die I believe that God is going to enter someone into a season of rest I believe tonight in the Holy Ghost and I can feel them right now that someone has been battling and in turmoil for a season of time but tonight if

a season of peace and a season of rest oh God tonight it's not walls that we fear it's not Giants that we fear but it's the unbelief that you can take me into that next season it's the unbelief got in my mind it has crept in and tonight I take every thought captive in the name of Jesus Christ I take every thought that would come against your will in the name of Jesus Christ if you believe that God is going to do something in this house would you clap your hands all across this place and before you're seated would you lift your voice come on could you lift your voice and let's thank him if you

here tonight Lord I love you I praise you and I believe you're going to do something tonight Hallelujah if you believe God's going to do something tonight would you say amen amen you may be seated in the house of the Lord tonight now tonight's word that I feel like God gave to me some time earlier this week I've wrestled with it I've battled with it I told my pastor tonight that it's usually more put together and uh and when you're as unorganized as I am this is probably the most organized unorganized thing I've ever presented to the church tonight but I feel like God wants to move to someone tonight I feel like God wants to I like in this message is like like this I was um learning to to fly a plane and and there were times where especially the runway where we would take off in in uh Alcoa uh it was a grass it was a grass strip and a grass strip on both sides had water uh it was along the Tennessee River if you got Airborne I do say if um it was beautiful because you'd be right you would be flying in between trees over the Tennessee River and you would come up right above campus it was absolutely beautiful but we would do something um that was called short field takeoffs simply for non aviators that's simply means what to do when you don't have enough Runway to take off okay that's what that would mean all right so here's what you would do you would you would take this little knob here and you would flip it up and your flaps would come down and what this is is just a little flap on the wing that that helps air to get underneath the flaps and uh and what you would do also is you would hold the brakes as tight as you could you would press on those brakes I remember sometimes it would I had have to push so so far back with just my tip toes cuz that's where the brakes were in in the plane and then here's what you would also do you would take the throttle and you would put it in as hard and as far as you possibly could I mean the engine is going you're revving up and down it thing's wanting to go that thing that plane is wanting to go and that'll help you to take off when you don't have a lot of Runway to get airborne so tonight this message is like this I'm going up and and I'm going up quick my flaps are down my feet are on the break my throttle's in and I don't know when it's going to happen I feel it right now I don't know when it's going to happen but sometime we're going to let off the break and I believe this thing's going to get airborne if you believe that would you clap your hands all across this place tonight and if not we're going to crash and burn that's all I got to say by the response of your voice tonight I need you your help by the response if you believe I want you to clap your hands and lift your voice but if you don't I just want you to sit there oh no that was that was a joke that was a joke that was a joke I believe tonight I'm just this how this how it work I just speak the word of faith I believe tonight somebody could be filled with the gift of the Holy Ghost I believe it you know why I believe it cuz we had one to be filled this morning and the bapt we we had one to be filled with the gift of the Holy Ghost this morning and we had her to go down in jesus' name for the remission of her sins that's why I I believe I believe I'm say I'm thankful tonight we have a young man uh brother Judah Mayo is going to be baptized in Jesus name amen amen I need your help tonight do you believe that someone could be healed in Jesus name tonight I believe it I'm here to to cast out any doubt that I have in my mind I'm here to cast out any thought of Doubt because what will keep us out of the land that is Promised is simply something called unbelief tonight I believe through the power of Jesus Christ that someone could be healed emotionally through the power of the name of Jesus I believe that someone could be healed tonight and be set free but this is where our really feel that God has come to do I would I I would love nothing more for God to fill somebody with the gift of the Holy Ghost I would love nothing more to Fe to to see someone be healed and see someone come back with a good doctor's report I I I would love that but tonight I feel through the unction of the Holy Ghost that someone is here this evening that you have been in a Wilderness for some time and this place that God wants to bring you in is a place of rest this place that God wants to bring you in is a place of Peace this is a place where you're not struggling and you're not in a situation that you don't know what what is going on and what God is going to do next but tonight through the power of the word of God if we believe tonight I believe someone is going to step in into a season of rest a season of Peace if we do you believe that tonight do you believe that we can have some someone to enter in into a a season of Peace where everything's not rocking and everything's not shaking because according to scripture if we believe tonight that he could take place I can walk out different than I came tonight I can walk out with a spirit of peace and not a spirit of bondage I believe we can walk out tonight free through the power of jesus' name come on do we believe that tonight because according to scripture it's through our unbelief that the promised land will not be possessed yes it's not Giants that possess the land it's not fortified walls that possess the land it's our unbelief that will keep us out unbelief you may be seated the writer of Hebrews talks about a rest or a peace that the child of God enters into he looks back to the children of Israel when they were brought out of Egypt knowing that they had been Pro promised a land or a place of rest but over a period of time the people came upset knowing that they had a land that God had already given to them but somehow someway in the midst of the Wilderness being fed by quail and being fed by Mana if that wasn't enough a spirit of unbelief came and captivated the people knowing that they had a land that God had already given to them they simply did not believe that time was now it's not necessarily in my estimations that that they didn't believe that it wasn't going to take place but I think they just didn't believe it could happen right now we have no problem with saying that God's going to move in my life we have no problem with saying that God can give me peace in my life but when we come to a Sunday night the faith has to be turned on in order to say I believe peace can happen right now I believe that change could be broke through the name of Jesus Christ right now I believe someone a weary mother can go home with peace in their life right now we have the children of Israel had no problem believing that there was a place of promise no problem believing that there was a place of Peace no problem believing that there was a place they could call home even though fire and the clouds were there to fire by night and Cloud by day was there to direct them like that wasn't enough the problem they had was in order to get into that land it wasn't going to be easy it wasn't going to be be easy it took two things faith believing in God believing in God's word and walking in God's word when things were uncomfortable it took believing in God's word and it took acting upon God's word the two things so difficult believing when it didn't make sense and acting when it doesn't make sense acting on believing when it doesn't make sense if I could pause here for a moment and tell you that peace of God can enter into your life I think you'd believe it I think if I told you that there was a place in your life that God was going to calm all your problems take care of all your situations you'd believe it if I told you that God can bring you to a place where turmoil is no more you would believe it but here's tonight and I feel this through the gift of faith I told you the problem with the people of God what if I told you tonight God wants to step you into a place of Peace what if I told you tonight that you can enter into a place of rest what if I told you that it might be hard to look in and to believe God's word and to accept it and act upon it but I just believe tonight if we would get every single ounce of doubt in our minds out of the way that God's going to enter Us in into a place of peace and a place of rest it's not necessarily believing if I think we all got the if you know we believe that God can we believe if God does it I I believe that I believe that it could happen but it's much harder to believe believe the win the win we know the if God can you know we know that God can according to scripture but when you place a Time on God that's when it takes some Faith it's believing not if the peace will come believe believing when the peace will come it's not believing when the joy it's not believing if the joy comes it's believing when the Joy will come it's not believing if the healing comes it's believing when the healing comes it's not believing I know it's God's will for me to get out of my trial that's that's evident God loves his children and he would not be unfair as a father a good father you know we sometimes we think that God's being unfair to us sometimes we think that God is just God looking down placing judgment it wasn't God's will for his children to be in the wilderness because the land was already promised to them but where where it steps in is believing that now is the time for us to enter in that now is the time for me to get out of my trial and get into a land of rest or a place of rest why and to whom aw and to whom uh swear he that they should not enter into his rest or opening scripture but to them that believed not so we see that they could not enter in because of un belief unbelief has come to God's people and have robbed them of blessings that God has wanted to give unbelief has crept into the hearts of people with sickness and Rob them of glorified healings that God wants to give to them right unbelief has waled in to some of our homes it's come to some of our marriages and it's come to job situations and into hearts of some people here tonight that have kept you out of a place of peace and I want to tell you tonight and declare on the authority of the word of God that unbelief has to die and it has to die tonight unbelief has to die that I'm never coming out of this unbelief has to to die that I don't know when it's going to happen but I believe it's going to happen I'm here to declare tonight that unbelief is going to die and someone could be set free and I I believe it could happen tonight I believe that someone could be have a spirit of peace in their life tonight if we believe God allowed Moses god allowed Moses to send men to spy out the land yes that they might may search the land of Canaan which I do give unto them the children of Israel in numbers 13:2 of every tribe of their fathers shall ye send a man every one a ruler among them now notice with me that we don't necessarily have a job description of what these spies were supposed to do other than to spy out the land it's even there's a question that was it even God's will for the spies to go out and spy the land I know one thing that the spies were not supposed to do they weren't supposed to come back and say I think we can do it or I think we can't do it I know that wasn't their job I know because here's how I know this the land was already theirs so why in the world would the spies come back and say I don't think we can do this it wasn't their job it wasn't their responsibility it wasn't their job to come back can say that the Giants are too big it wasn't their job to say that the amalekites and all the other ites are there and they're in our land it wasn't their job to go do that but God allows them God allows them the spies all they were supposed to do is bring back a preview of the land of peace they were supposed to bring back a good report of how the milk and honey flow in the promised land oh they were supposed toing bring back a good report of how we just got to get there it's there's no more wandering around there's no more having a have you seen the houses in the promised land because there are houses that I did not build and it's definitely better than the tent we've been living in we've got to get to the promised land because it's our place of peace and it's our place of rest but the spies go and they bring back 10 of them bring back an evil report 10 of them said we came unto the land whether thou sest and surely it floweth with milk and honey and this is the fruit of it the cluster of grapes that they broke off of a tree was so large that they had to have men take two staves two large pieces of wood and they would carry it either around their hips or on their shoulders and the grapes were so big that they were placed on the two pieces of stay the two pieces of wood and they thought some of you could think it's exactly what God has promised us it is a land truly flowing with milk and honey the fruit are larger than anything we have ever seen that place that God wants you to go tonight is exactly what you think it will be that's right it is exactly the area of peace that I feel like God wants to bring someone in tonight it is exactly what you've been hoping for it's exactly what you've been praying for no more sleepless nights that's what you've been praying for and tonight if we believe I believe God can bring you into that season of rest and bring you in that season of peace and they bring this wonderful report for a verse they talk about the milk and honey they talk about they talk about that that the grapes are are so large look at the fruit of the land that God has given us in numbers 13:21 tells us all we need to know nevertheless forgetting all that God has promised you the people be too strong that dwell in the land and the cities are walled and very great and moreover we saw the children of anoch there despite God's faithful promise that the land is yours the people that are in the land are too strong despite knowing that God can build walls in the Red Sea and tear them down by using Moses's Rod the cities in the the promised land are too large and they're too fortified despite knowing that God can bring down the giant called pharaoh and make him beg before Moses to get these people out I got to get these people out but but God brought the giant down called Pharaoh but yet he couldn't bring the Giants that were in the land that were already theirs unbelief despite knowing that the Promised Land Is Ours the amalekites dwell there the am amorites dwell there the Canaanites dwell there and the land is taken up and there's room for no one else but let brother Caleb speak up two meanings I found for Caleb the first is faithful wholehearted does everything with all he has he's faithful to God and the second meaning is dog that's encouraging I don't know if your dogs are anything like my dad's dogs let me tell you about my dad's dogs watch watch it they follow him around everywhere he goes they listen to every command that he gives them and they just know if I follow this man around he'll favor them dogs over the grandchildren he'll favor them dogs only his over his only begotten son in whom he is well pleased he'll favor them dog if why the dogs know that that man's going to take care of them those dogs know when he goes to the fridge it ain't just him eating it's them dogs eating and so tonight I wonder if we could be more like Einstein and Bentley just knowing everywhere that God is that's where I want to be because wherever God is I'm going to get fed wherever God is I know I'm going to be taken care of I know we don't oh Lord I preaching about two dogs and I feel the holy ghost coming in here tonight if you just follow God even though it's a land that there's walls and there's land that's there's Giants that land of peace is already yours that Land That season of rest is already if you just listen if you'll just listen if you'll follow God God will bring you I take back the grandchildren comment that was a that was a joke that was a little too far dogs but let KB let Caleb speak up Caleb the voice of reason the voice of a wholehearted person a voice of a faithful man speaks up and says let us go up at once and possess it for we are able to overcome it and someone tonight you need a Caleb in your life that tells you you are going to make it then you need a Caleb I want to be a Caleb in your voice in your in your life tonight and I want to tell you that it's not God's will for you to be wandering all around your entire life I want to be a Caleb tonight and tell you that it's time for you to believe and go to a place of peace I want to be the Caleb in your for your life tonight that tells you it's not God's will for you to live in turmoil your whole entire life we just got to believe we've got to believe that God has a place that he promised us does anybody under the sound of my voice believe that God can bring you to a place where there's no more crying and there's no more heartache and there's no more sleepless nights and there's no more bad reports and there's no more turmoil this is the land that's yours this is the land that God has promised you a land of Peace not a land of War but a land of rest a land you need a Caleb in your life you don't need 10 spies that will not just agree with how how bad every everything looks you don't need the 10 spies in your life that are just going to agree with you how pitiful everything is and how hard everything is in your life you need someone in your life that tells you if you believe that if God before you who in the world can be against you I'm shutting those 10 spies out of my life because they're the reason why I'm not possessing the promises that God has made to me and my marriage they're the reason those negative voices that causes unbelief in my life they're the reason that the entire eration of Israel would miss out on the promised land over 10 people it wasn't even their job to come back and say oh it's too big it's too it's too large there there there there're people that are living in our land I I don't believe it was the if I just believe when it was time for God to bring them in I said I don't know if it could be done right now and tonight the first step to killing unbel belief is the negative reports have to die what you speak over your life tonight has to die there's power of life and death in what you say and if you speak that I'm always going to be in depression we're going to find out in just a second you're always going to be in depression if you speak that I'm always going to live this way and be in anxiety and be in turmoil guess what honey you're always going to be in turmoil and you're always but I want a Caleb to speak up and say we can overcome it we can overcome it we can go in we can enter in into the season and the place of rest in the place of Peace listen to how the evil Port is so exaggerated such a it's such a lie numbers 13:32 says and they brought up an evil report of the land which they had searched into the children of Israel saying the land the through which we have gone to uh search it is a land that eat up the inhabitants thereof this land listen how how how the negative reports the negative voices the negative the thing that causes unbelief listen how exaggerated is and how how just a boldfaced lie this is the land it eateth up the inhabitants thereof and all the people that we saw in it are men of great stature and there we s saw the Giants the sons of anoch which come of the Giants and we were in our own sight as Grasshoppers and so we were in their side eateth up the inhabitants did y'all read that with me eateth up the inhabitants well you 10 fools made it you 12 made it the two that had the good report and the 10 that had the negative report that land didn't eat you up so I know that's a lie and I let me talk about the exaggeration the exaggeration is how they viewed themselves that we were grasshoppers in their own own eyes and we're going to see here in scripture let me just get to it real quick I've come to ask you a question how do you view yourself how do you view yourself because this is the first part in scripture of conquering our unbelief if you believe that you're always going to be bogged down guess what you're always going to be bogged down but if you believe that I am an overcomer guess what you can become an overcomer if you believe you're always going to be a slave in Egypt you're going to be a slave in in Egypt if you always believe you're going to be a Wonder in the wilderness you're going to be a wonderer in the wilderness but I want to know tonight if there's someone Through The Eyes of faith that is willing to say I'm going to enter in into my promised land and be conquerors guess what that's the first step of faith when you believe I'm coming out of this I'm not grasshoppers I'm not just this small group of people but I am mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds it's all about how we view ourselves how we view view ourselves and this is what I feel so strongly tonight in the word of the Lord for someone they ask God numbers 14 And1 they begin to voice their frustrations about being out of the land that was promised to them and the congregation lifted up their voice and cried and the people wept that night and all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron and the whole congregation said unto them would God that we had died in the land of Egypt or would God we had died in this Wilderness you know you know what happened here they thought would God take us out of Egypt for us to die in the wilderness and you know a punishment of their unbelief was they were going to die die in the wilderness so can I tell you good people tonight if you're facing something and you feel like you're going to die in your current situation can I tell you what the word of the Lord is tonight if you think that and there's some unbelief in your mind spiritually you're going to die in this Wilderness because that's exactly what they thought they thought that God would we we're dying in Egypt and now we're dying in the wilderness where is God hey let's let's let's uh appoint a captain let's appoint a captain and let let's go back to Egypt let's go back to Egypt where we had the task Masters over our back with the whips they were telling us what time to wake up they were telling us what time to go to bed they were telling us how how many bricks we ought to make and how much we had to finish of this pyramid that day but I don't know about you that's not a good way to live that's not a good way to live especially knowing being a child of God that there is a land that flows with milk and honey and that is mine that is mine there is a land that there is a place of peace that God has for someone tonight I don't know about you but I don't want to be in a place of depression when I know there's a place of Joy I don't know about you but I don't want to be in a constant state of anxiety where I know there is just a land that if I believe I can possess it and I believe I can enter in Through The Eyes of faith that there is a land where I won't be having no more sleepless nights tonight because I know I'm in a season of Peace a season of rest and I want to declare to someone tonight that it's yours it's yours if you believe you're going to die in the wilderness guess what that's what you get but I believe tonight that someone can step in with faith in the room believing that there is a place of rest and that it's yours that it's yours how about we let God chime in in verse 11 and the Lord said to Moses how long will this people provoke me and how long will it air be air they believe me for all the signs which I've showed among them God is literally saying to Moses and the people how many things do I have to do for you to realize that I've never left you and I've never forsaken you I know there's a little bit of a season where it's a little bit of a rocky road I know there's a littleit of a season where you know you're destined for a place but now you're wanting to go back to Egypt where I delivered you from how many things in our lives does God have to do for us how many doors does he have to open how many doors does he have to shut for somebody to realize that God has never left you or ever forsaken you don't look at your current situation and think that God is not there he's just showing you tonight that if you believe that what he's done in your life he can take you to That season of rest and that season of Peace if you believe that would you say Amen am amen was the Red Sea splitting not enough was the plagues that I sent to your enemy not enough I will Smite them God is speaking to the people who don't believe I will Smite them Moses with pestilence and this inherit them you're out of the inheritance that God has given you why unbelief unbelief and I will make of thee a greater nation and mightier than they what God's saying to Moses is I'm going to strip you of everybody and I'm going to start this thing all over again and I'm gonna make you a more mightier Nation than those unbelievers over there why just simply that God's given us something I don't believe it don't I don't believe that God can enter in us into a season of Peace a season of rest a season where there's no no more turmoil a season where there's no more depression and this is what I feel for somebody tonight if you simply believe that God can enter you into that season tonight you can have it why it's already yours it's already yours Moses plays the part of a mediator he starts to plead with God God please don't kill this these people don't kill these people don't don't kill them God will make us look and you read the the dialogue you imagine talking back to God which is absolutely hilarious but you imagine Moses is saying God is it'll make us fools in Egypt and and it'll make us fools of these people if you bring us out here to die and you kill all these people right now and Moses gave all the reasons he could think of to God on why he shouldn't kill the the people for not believing right now Moses says pardon I beseech thee the iniquity of this of this people according to the greatness he reminds God of his Mercy that thou Hast forgiven this people from Egypt until now and the Lord said I have pardoned according to the word to Thy word and God sent God went on to say go went on to say that the people who thought that I brought them to the Wilderness to die will die in the wilderness because that's what they believe of me so there's a concept here in Scripture that whatever you believe spiritually about yourself that's what you're going to get if you feel like you're going to die in the wilderness you're going to die in the wilderness or tonight through the help of God if you believe that you could step into that land of peace tonight you can step into that land of Peace that's how easy it is just believing that there is something greater for you believing that my life should should be better than it is God's word is true you can enter into that season and so God went on to say they think they're going to die in the wilderness that's what they're going to get but for 40 years a whole generation is going to miss out on the promised land he says matter of fact everybody under the age of everybody over the age of 20 except Joshua and Caleb they're not making it into the promised land why how is God so unfair unbelief unbel un belief stops God from working in my life unbelief can stop God's will in your life and he says all right Moses all right Moses if you want if you want for me to spare the people I will but until that entire generation of unbelievers is dead you're not going into the promised land so God got his way God it say it this simple God will always get his way uh numbers 14:35 and the Lord had said I surely do it un unto all this evil congregation that are gathered together against me in in this Wilderness they shall be consumed and there shall there there they shall die what they believe came to pass how they felt about God towards them is exactly what happened and came to pass and the men which Moses sent to search the land who returned and made all the congregation to murmur again him by bringing up a slander upon the land if they couldn't have the land they were going to lie about the land that they said it wasn't all it's cracked up to be and verse 37 even those men that did bring up the evil report upon the land died by the plague before the Lord but Joshua the son of nun and Caleb the son of of Jessa which were of the men that went to search the land lived still God spoke to Moses he said you want those people to live and those people that didn't uh believe the evil report to live that's fine but the first step to killing unbelief is I've got to kill the source of unbelief the source of unbelief I'm telling you tonight the first step to your unbelief to killing the unbelief is to kill the negative report that is spoken about the promises of God in your life you got to cut off their voice if it's a group of people that say you can't get joy it's time to cut those folks off I want to be straight with you because I want you to get into a land that God has already given to you if it's somebody on your row that you can't Worship in front of cut that voice off move somebody somewhere else because there is joy of the Lord if you believe there is joy of the Lord simply by believing so those 10 it might take us a while matter of fact it took us a generation to get the spirit of unbelief out of the children of Israel but the first thing God did he said I'm cutting off the voices that caused you not to believe in the first place who are the people in your life if I can just be straight with you who are the voices in your life that are telling you that you can't have joy it'd be a good idea to cut those voices off that's right what what is the situation that you keep walking into that causes you to not walk into the the Pro land that God has for you according to scripture if I want to enter in into a place that I can only believe to get to I've got to cut off the negative voices that caus me not to believe in the first place maybe it's the the the voice of false doctrine that you don't have to speak in tongues to get the Holy Ghost and you're struggling with getting the Holy Ghost if you just believe tonight that I can receive the gift of the Holy Ghost for the first time with a Biblical evidence of speaking in other tongues you just might get it you just might get it oh Lord help me you just might get it maybe that voice that tell you you like a fool when you start to praise and you start to worship you look like an absolute glorified fool when you stand up you're supposed to be a manly man and not stand to your feet and clap and rejoice and lift your hands or lift your voice how about you try it how about you try it how about you I tell you what the people's that that say the things that bring negative reports you can look at their lives and realize it's not all that is cracked up to be so I want to go with Caleb and I want to go with Joshua the people of Faith the people that believe I know they seem big and I know there's some walls that but if God be for us who in the world can be against us whose report should you believe I'm going to believe the report of the Lord because if I believe the report of the Lord the land is mine if I believe the report of the Lord peace is mine if I believe the report that we can conquer it peace yes my how about you try it right now lift your hands it would be a good idea to lift your hands and lift your voice if you never lift your voice loud enough to where you can hear yourself pray it'd be a good idea to do it right now why why not just try it why not just try to lift your voice louder than your problems and louder than your circumstance why don't you try to be a Caleb I know it looks big but I know that God is for us and who can be against us I know the land the Giants are tall the giant of depression is tall but I believe that God's peace that bth all understanding can enter into your life right now if you believe all it takes is you to believe all it takes are you can believe that's all it takes unbelief has crept in and has robbed you of Joy unbelief has crept in your life and robbed you of Peace unbelief has crept in and caused babies not to come back on the church but believe believe believe a simple thing of unbelief The Source has to be killed the source has to be killed you may be seated because until you kill the source your view doesn't change your view doesn't change only the people who believe and it's not just believing it's not just believing just to feel good why why do I believe well why do I believe I believe that I can be healed because by his stripes we were healed it's not just believing to make us feel good it's not just believing to brother Dave to to feel good when our wife passes away but the reason we can stand here tonight and rejoice is because I believe in this word I believe that there's going to be a day where she has a resurrected body and those who are alive and well and those that remain will be caught up together with the clouds that's why I Rejoice tonight I Rejoice tonight because I believe why do I Rejoice tonight with someone who has a sickness but I because I believe by his stripes we were healed that's why I believe I believe because the word I believe because the word I tell you this you can't enter into the place God wants you to enter into until you cut off the source of unbelief yes unbelief unbelief has robbed people matter of fact Jesus went to a place he wanted to do so many great things and the Bible says something that stopped Jesus Christ from doing exactly what what he wanted to do the Bible says he did not many mighty works there because the problem was too big he did not mean anybody works there because the anxiety has been there way too long he did not mean anybody works there because the woman was filled with depression he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief unbelief is going to rob you of Joy unbelief is going to rob you of a healing unbelief is going to rob you of the peace that passeth all understanding unbe unbelief is UN unbelievable I'm telling you tonight what's the season of rest rest means peace rest that Hebrews talks about means freedom rest means Deliverance rest means to lift up your hands and be able to praise God god without any condemnation rest means that you're able to enter into the house of God and not have those voices that tell you that you're not good enough I'm telling you tonight that God wants to do it I'm telling you tonight that God wants to give your church if you're watching online a spirit of peace and a spirit of the promised land if you believe it can be done if you believe I would tell you about a woman and I'm coming to a close here very shortly if you know any preachers that means about 20 minutes left story about a woman fnn and I were married for a couple months we got asked to go to a church in Trinity Alabama in Trinity Alabama there is an onire for God Oneness Apostolic Church in Trinity Alabama wonderful the gift of faith was in the room I uh he were people jumping and shouting and rejoicing people jumping off the platform it was give anybody an idea tonight these kids kids quests are ready to go uh they were jumping they were just they were rejoicing mom saying no you're not all right they were rejoicing and shouting matter of fact they were singing from a soundtrack and for a special and the spirit of God got to moving nearing this lady singing through the fire and uh she got to the end of it the track was over they couldn't go back to it they said Pastor said Play it again so they played the the song from the the the beginning and God's spirit still was moving God's spirit still was moving so we got the preaching and I've never seen this in my life haven't seen it haven't seen it to that point haven't seen it since that point one young man got just so moved by God he started jumping on the top of the pews all the it was it was amazing it was like Pew walking sea walking it was Pew walking he started walking over the and he he got some speed to he didn't fler he got some speed to him he was jumping he was shouting the whole church was going crazy and and all it was about this side the the the the the congregation that were rejoicing and everything's going crazy and then out of nowhere sister Kano everybody everything's going crazy all right out of nowhere this little old feeble woman comes moving down the aisle about this pace right here I making fun of her tonight she is all she could do she started making her way up she had gloves on mask on I mean the woman it was a borderline hazmat suit that's how that's how fearful obviously if you know her story you'll know why she was all gloved up masked up has M mask on M uh not 92 97 19 whatever it's called she had that on she started coming around the altar it took her I'm not and I promise you brother R I'm not making fun of her it took her about two minutes to walk 10 10 pews of uh T pews down to the altar it's and I'm telling you the boy's gone like lap seven of jumping on top of the pews Pew walking next thing you know Aiden I hear this we're worshiping we're rejoicing we're praising God in the altar I hear w I looked over that little woman that was masked up gloved up had the m97 mask on whatever it's called her muffled scream and Pastor Simmons went over there said sister so and so what happened she said I bent my leg I mean awesome awesome and brother Simmons got behind the mic oh God and he said if you know this woman you know that cancer has stricken her body if you know this woman you know that she is so ate up with cancer that it has locked her legs up from being mobile and all she can do is this right here all she could do she just heard about a a message about God healing her body she heard a out a message not only did she hear it but she believed it and she believed it and she acted upon what she believed all she could give God and I feel them right now was this right here just pick one leg up what is that craziness over there it's a woman that her body was stricken with cancer and she believed that God can heal her and all she gave all she could give was this right here she'd waddle back and forth because her legs would stiffen up with cancer so when that woman screamed and she got some mobility in her legs you know what God was saying to her because you were willing to give me all you had even though I saw the Pew jumper and I'm glad for him even though I saw the young man jump and rejoice and I'm glad for him there was a woman that was giving me all she had because she believed she was giving me all she had in praise and worship because she believed and because she believed she showed God God I'm willing to do something this is the best I got God I'm willing to W wle myself from side to side and you know what go happened God honored that and healed her and gave her mobility in her body why she believed she believed she acted upon her belief and God touched her she acted on upon the authority of the word of God we could be healed and she was touched because she believed but she believed she believed you'd be so kind to stand with me musicians come I don't know what you need I'm the sound of my voice tonight but I'm just a fool I I'm just crazy enough to tell someone that I believe that God could touch you tonight if you believe and if you act upon what you believe if you believe that God can touch you you can make your way to this altar right now and God if you believe I promise you believe is what Robs a lot of people from being touched of God if you believe tonight and you act upon it God might just touch you if you give a God all you can if you
