It was beautiful when the 12 spies, under the blessing of Moses and their fathers, saw how good the soil of Canaan was and took of the fruit of the land in their hands and carried it away. Thus, everyone could see that God had not deceived them. However, those men also reported about the high walls of the cities. This caused great disturbance among the Hebrews. Now, since the spies spoke well and brought products that proved the strength of that place, they became worthy to be heard.
They needed to answer to their people, for they had come out of slavery by the work and grace of the Most High. However, because they went up in fear and not in faith, ten of the spies failed to see as they should have and were impressed by the cities. Thus, by describing them, they took out all the joy of the others. Before, they believed the statements of the servants of the Lord, Moses and Aaron, but afterwards, they were disappointed.
We do not know what explanations they gave to the Amorites, whether they explained the reason for being in their country, taking those products that proved that the land was good – but it is no use speaking well and then speaking badly, and that´s how they acted. We need to walk by faith and not by sight (2 Corinthians 5.7), but unfortunately, most people have not yet reached the conclusion that, if they seek to see in order to believe, they will never believe. This is the great difficulty for many people today!
The Most High is the one who gives the growth, if we use faith. Therefore, we do not have to check how good and fruitful the Gospel is with the seeds planted in the evangelization of our country and the world. All that matters is what the Word says. Therefore, never worry about whether the Lord’s message is being accepted. If you walk by faith, whatever God gives you to say will prosper. Believe!
There isn´t and their cannot be misery among us, because the land we have been placed in by accepting Jesus as Savior is rich, fruitful and good. Try to walk always in God’s presence, being careful to keep His commandments and follow the instructions of the Scriptures. The Lord is infinitely able to do much more than we ask or think (Ephesians 3.20). Since the Christian has the mind of Jesus, we will know when something comes from Heaven or not. Be vigilant!
Make sure that your heart rejoices in your understanding of the Scriptures; thus, the Lord will guide you. To live without joy and to say that you believe in the Gospel are incompatible attitudes, but if your heart feels good, refuse to investigate the occurrence of any lie in the Bible, because it will never exist. The enemy has managed to blind many people concerning the heavenly promises, saying that they are not addressed to the children of God. Here is the truth: they are meant for those who serve God – in Spirit and in Truth.
What will you say on the Day of Reckoning? Have you been fulfilled in Christ, or have you given in to the devil, who, through various people, tries to prove the inaccuracy in the Lord’s speech? There will never be an error or an excess of promises in God, for all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us (2 Corinthians 1.20).
In Christ, with love,

Father of the good produce! The Gospel was symbolized by what Canaan, the Land of Promise, produced. According to the promise, there will never be scarcity in Your Kingdom, which has plenty of virtue to heal us, to prosper us, and above all, to deliver us from all sorts of evils!
It is unacceptable to have a life with little, with no joy and abundant suffering. Lord! We serve You, great and powerful God, who doesn't know the impossible nor fails to bless the barren, like Sarah, Rebecca, Rachel and Hannah!
We need to know You as the promise-fulfilling God, of the Covenant made in the blood of Christ. We cry out before You for what we have not achieved through the prayer of faith in Jesus - or we do not know what faith is. Help us to live with love, dignity and honor!
