We can't go up against the people because they are stronger than we are!" So they gave a negative report to the Israelites. Numbers 13:31—32

It is the Lord your God who goes with you; He will not leave you or forsake you. Deuteronomy 31:6

I want to finish my race in the Promised Land, not in the wilderness. You too? Then we have to cash in our fear and complacency and spend all we have on the only ticket out: BELIEF. Faith is the only thing that will ever close the gap between our theology and our reality.

I, the Lord your God, hold your right hand and say to you, "Do not fear, I will help you." Isaiah 41:13

I will be with you when you pass through the waters, and when you pass through the rivers, they will not overwhelm you. Isaiah 43:2

Promised Land theology becomes an earthbound reality only to those who cash in their fear and complacency for the one ticket out of their long-inhabited wilderness.

Fear is the very factor that keeps many of us from fleshing out the biblical reality that we can "do all things through Christ" (Phil 4:13). We can do all things through Christ who strengthens us, but frankly we won't if we're too afraid to try.

The Lord will not forsake His people or abandon His heritage. Psalm 94:14

God is calling you a mighty warrior. This study is about God's teaching us to live like the mighty warriors we can be in Him. Are you sick of deceit and ready to learn how to live like a mighty warrior?

Tenacity is more than hanging on, which may be but the weakness of being too afraid to fall off. Tenacity is the supreme effort of a man refusing to believe that his hero is going to be conquered. . . . Remain spiritually tenacious Oswald Chambers, My Utmost for His Highest

God gave the Israelites the Promised Land but told them they'd have to take what was theirs in fierce battle. Why? Probably one reason was so they'd develop the strength to keep it once they conquered it.

When you don't have anything to lose, you discover something wonderful: you're free to take great risks without fear or reservation.
