The Wonderful Works Of Divine Understanding

I don't know what you see, but I can see everything turning around. The apostle Paul prayed that, "the eyes of your understanding being enlightened ... ye may know what is the hope of His calling ..." (Ephesians 1:18). Until you see it, you can't possess it. Moses sent Twelve spies to the land of Canaan as instructed by God- 10 of them came back with a terrified testimony but 2 came back with a good testimony. The ten spies saw death and destruction but the 2( Joshua and Caleb) spies saw victory and blessing. It is written in Numbers 13: 26-33;

" 26 Now they departed and came back to Moses and Aaron and all the congregation of the
children of Israel in the Wilderness of Paran, at Kadesh; they brought back word to them
and to all the congregation, and showed them the fruit of the land.
27 Then they told him, and said: “We went to the land where you sent us. It truly flows with
milk and honey, and this is its fruit.
28 Nevertheless the people who dwell in the land are strong; the cities are fortified and very
large; moreover we saw the descendants of Anak there.
29 The Amalekites dwell in the land of the South; the Hittites, the Jebusites, and the
Amorites dwell in the mountains; and the Canaanites dwell by the sea and along the
banks of the Jordan.”
30 Then Caleb quieted the people before Moses, and said, “Let us go up at once and take
possession, for we are well able to overcome it.”
31 But the men who had gone up with him said, “We are not able to go up against the
the people, for they are stronger than we.”
32 And they gave the children of Israel a bad report of the land which they had spied out,
saying, “The land through which we have gone as spies is a land that devours its
inhabitants, and all the people whom we saw in it are men of great stature.
33 There we saw the giants (the descendants of Anak came from the giants) and we were
like grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were in their sight.”


The ten spies accepted defeat before they got into battle but Joshua and Caleb took hold of victory before they entered into it. The ten spies saw themselves as grasshoppers but the two saw themselves as giants. Brothers and Sisters, don't let the mountain scare you, you are capable of pulling it down through your faith. If you can't see your victory, then you have lost out in the battle. David saw his victory over Goliath before the battle (1 Sam 17: 1-58). Miracles don't happen through wishes or emotions they happen through your eyes of understanding and faith. Friends and family will just sit around to sympathize with you but that won't move your mountain. You've cried for too long but the situation has remained the same. Take a bold step! That mountain is waiting for your eyes of understanding to wake up to faith before it levels up. Make a move today because tomorrow may be too late.

Glory to God!
