The contagious spirit of unbelief and quitting

The spirit of the 10 spies in Deuteronomy 1:21-27 will cause you to die on the wrong side of the river- the wrong side of the promises of God.  These 10 spies stirred up the whole congregation so those walking in faith could not change the people’s minds.

Caleb, Joshua, and Moses couldn’t even calm the crowd. One of the demon’s major contentions is that it causes people to quit and expect God to do it all. Don’t even try to tell me that this spirit isn’t whispering to people today—yes, even church people—in fact, maybe mostly church people.

These 10 spies were disturbed that they had wandered for 40 years, and now they have found the promised land just to discover that God wasn’t just turning it over to them. They thought that they had done enough to inherit the promises. They were put out that God wouldn’t just hand it to them.

They recognized that it was the land God promised, but they were afraid of the giants and the fortified cities. Joshua and Caleb took it as a righteous challenge and wanted to possess it. 

When you let this demon minister to you, you become weak in faith and expect God to do it all. “If God wants me to have it, He will just come through right down here and give it to me.” Wrong!

This spirit causes you to have a very small and twisted view and opinion of yourself. These men said that their enemies saw them the same way they saw themselves – as grasshoppers. Listen to yourself. Do you have a grasshopper report that stirs up the people, or do you have a faith report that cuts down the enemy? It could be the very thing that causes you to die on the wrong side of the river without the promises of God. Numbers 13:25-33; Numbers 14:1-4

Beware of this anti-faith, anti-courage spirit and those who are influenced by it. If it gets on you, it will take you off course. – Mark T. Barclay
