Proverbs 10:7 The memory of the just is blessed: but the name of the wicked shall rot.

Daniel 11:32b But the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.

Who is familiar with the names Shammua, Shaphat, Igal, Palti, Gaddiel, Gaddi, Ammiel, Sethur, Nahbi, and Geuel? Their names are long forgotten and only those who are truly acquainted with the Bible know that their not so well-known and sad testimony is to be found in Numbers 13. They all came from noble descent and were called for a great task, however, they did not have faith in God and failed in the critical moment. How completely different it is when we recall the names - Joshua and Caleb! Every Sunday School child knows about their life and their deeds! They knew their God and did not look at the circumstances and at the natural things, but rather looked alone towards God. They did not forget the miracles which God had performed in Egypt and confessed, "Let us go up and possess the land for we can take it."

The other ten spies, however, intimidated the people with their negative report about Canaan and caused them to lack courage. The result: They paid a high price for their disbelief, they wandered forty years in the wilderness and an entire generation died in the wilderness, apart from Joshua and Caleb and their families, who saw the Promised Land and received a special inheritance there. Yes, the majority may not always be right..., it is the complete opposite, and it is most definitely the case when God is excluded!

Even today, you can look at the circumstances and the News and if you do not know your God, then you will confess the testimony of the ten spies! However, the church of the living God cries out, "Let us go up and possess the land for we can take it."

No matter what it looks like and what is going on, with God all things are possible. Jesus Christ will send a great revival in this end time and no one and nothing can stop it. There are many Calebs, Joshuas, Davids, and Deborahs among His people, and God will awaken many more spiritual heroes and fighters, so watch out devil and Co.! With the almighty God, we are always be victorious! sr
