Claim God's Promises | Pastor Jeff Johns

praise the Lord all right the titleist message today saying with me give me my mountain now say it like you mean it give me my mountain yeah and of course I'm going to be ministering out of The Book of Numbers and Joshua about a man named Caleb but the mountain here that we're speaking of is the promises of God reach up the spirit realm give me my promises give me my promises and you're grabbing ahold of them with faith but here at 85 years of age caleb has not lost hope he has not lost faith and he is persevering come on now he believed the Word of God he believed what God had to say and he believed God for the promises God told me to give him so while we're ministering today you should make a few notes what are some of my mountains give me my mountain technically and literally and some more modern translations say give me this hill country it's a beautiful region a beautiful area but it was full of heights and Giants the Lord led Moses out of Egypt and we know the story well and I'll try to dive right into the scriptures today lay a bit of a foundation for that prophetic word and all that we're shouting unto the Lord about this the beginning of a new year but the beginning of a new decade and so we want the Lord to remind us of the promises he has given us and to lay hold of that in faith and not give up and not forget but to declare give me my Mountain give me that promise Lord in Jesus name and all Church said a man so let the holy spirit revive some of the things he has promised you some of the things he's given you to look ahead with expectation and with faith and we all said and the Lord spoke to Moses and said send our men but they may search the land of Canaan which I've given to the children of Israel of every tribe their fathers shall you send a man everyone a ruler among them a leader so what God was doing was saying choose a leader among every tribe and send them into the nation and look over the promise say go look over promise search it out they would go into the promised land for 40 days let's say together 40 days listen folks you got to move into what's your say get it move into it that's what faith does it walks into it they went right that down in verse 26 they came back and when they came back wholesome fruit up they had two fruit it was bountiful it was amazing and now let's go to verse 27 and they told them and said we went into the land where you sent us it really is everything God said it's a land flowing with milk and honey and this is some of the fruit now say I've got here some of the fruits and then they continued and they made a mistake they continued on with a conjunction but however and what that does it begins to connect truth of what God said to their opinion it begins to connect truth of what God said to their fear their doubt their unbelief and what they see as the circumstance against them wind out fear and unbelief here when when faith hears doubt fear and unbelief they put you an right here and said together you can't tolerate it when your faith begins to hear doubt fear and unbelief and hear an evil report your spirit man's going to rise up and Caleb's spirit man his name literally means dog it means one that is loyal one that won't let go then we need that anointing to go today I'm loyal I'm not gonna let go God said I believe it God said I believe it that is a simple foundation and definition of faith God said it I believe it yeah I've got all the circumstances on the opposite God said it I believe it and what we want to learn to do is state the facts and move away from our opinion and what happens when you move in doubt and fear and unbelief you begin to focus on the Giants you begin to focus on the impossibility you begin to focus on the strength of the opposition instead of the power of what God had to say we're not going to deny the opposition but we're not going to glorify it we're not going to focus the opposite on the opposition we're going to focus on the word of God because the battle belongs to whom the Lord the victory has already been won can I hear an amen then Caleb rose up with that spirit of anointing of faith upon him still the people before Moses and said stop let's go up now let's together let's go now we can possess it we are more than able we can overcome everything Caleb had to say was based on what God had told them praise the Lord let's say him gather speak the Word of God we didn't doubt speak the Word of God when opposed speak the Word of God but the men that went up with him said no we're not able to go 10 spies have one report and to have another we are not able they are stronger than we are see what fear will blind you unbelief will immobilize you God wants to give us a gift of faith and faith comes from heaven can I hear an amen and they brought up an evil report of the land what's an evil report there are good reports bad reports and evil report a good report of course is a report that brings back a positive testimony like we heard today a bad report it's true it's the facts and the circumstances are not good an evil report is a report contrary to God contrary to what God said when J iris was at the feet of Jesus a servant that love Jairus love Jarvis's daughter came to J iris and said don't bother Jesus anymore your daughter is dead his faith had a limitation he can't raise the dead but he can heal the sick so it's too late now just come home how many of you know that's a bad report what did Jesus say to the recipient of a bad report fear not stay together fear not in other words get out of fear and hear God and that'll release and open heaven over your life in your situation and what happened all the people that hurt that report began to move in doubt in fear and unbelief I want you to say this with me guard your heart with all diligence let the word of God come out of your mouth no matter what you're facing no helmet no matter how big it is and they said we saw the Giants we saw the sons of the Giants the sons of the Giants are bigger than the Giants themselves in and in it's so then they go on to say we were in our own sight as grasshoppers two Raptors buddy I'm not a grasshopper how you see yourself as how your enemy's going to see you hello how do you see yourself say I'm not a grasshopper you call yourself a grasshopper if you want to but I'm not a grasshopper I'm a bread eater and Giants are for bread they are our bread come on somebody I'm not a grasshopper I don't see myself as a grasshopper and my enemies better not see me as a grasshopper we're giant killers save get it we're giant killers whatever opposition stands between us and what God has for us it must come down it must come down how do you see yourself say how do you see yourself as a warrior Ephesians chapter 6 armed and just for battle the sword of the Spirit is in my hand sharper than a two-edged sword in numbers chapter 14 verse 1 fear unbelief doubt murmur self-pity are all related demons and I listened to the wrong report that people listen to the wrong report they were not listening to those that spoke what the Word of God said listen this is intended to be a tremendous year for the body of Christ we're headed for some of the most supernatural things we've ever seen people to get saved born-again come to know Christ and rise above death rise out of feeling side for themselves who you listen to this year is going to determine a lot a year from now say it together your promise is incredible what the Lord wants to bless you with this phenomena absolutely phenomena you need to see what God wants to give you instead of the opposition that is there to steal it if the Lord delighting us and he will bring us to the land and give to us it's a land with milk and honey don't rebel against God do not fear the people of the land for their white bread to us fear enables you to see one way faith enables you to see another faith and label you to see another go ahead say it again I'm gonna rise above this I'm gonna rise above this you operate and fear and doubt and believe Nijat do it on you you'll get anywhere nothing good will happen you need the Lord none of them 20 and up will come back into the promise they'll wander in the wilderness and fear doubt and unbelief 40 years until doubt dies off so this young generation of 19 and down every day for 40 years they're going to bury unbelief in the hot sand they're gonna dig graves every day for 40 years they're gonna wait for their promise for 40 years because of fear doubt and unbelief save gather hey I'm not going to I'm not gonna be part of that generation you're not gonna bury me in the sand but my servant stays with me I'm a servant of the Lord I'm a servant of the Lord because he had another spirit on him what spirit the Spirit of God the spirit of God brings faith into your spirit man [Music] that giant beat me every day that giant won't beat you today the giant won't beat you today robbed your sleeves let's do that again rob your sleeves let's do that again rob your sleeves let's do that again Rob your slaves let's do that again stay with me I'm here for the long haul for my kids my grandkids great-great grandkids generations come til the Lord comes back really you're gonna put up with all this you're gonna fight through all this just for kids you don't even know yet absolutely worth every step worth every minute and all the church said who you working with you working with the ones that have a vision for generations to come willing to build it all give it all the way to the next generation and pass it on yes Joshua chapter 14 what a the wilderness is over they've been battling for five years this man's fort 85 years old cigarette ad five years old the man with another spirit the man that had a gift of faith the man had persevered the man that was with teenagers in a young generation that would learn to be real men and women and children of God they buried doubt fear and unbelief for forty years till was all gone forty years old was I win Moses the servant of the Lord sent me from Kadesh Barnea to epsy you spy out the land and I brought him word again and it was in my heart but gen right here it was in my heart was in my heart he brought back the word of the Lord that was in his heart so on that day saying surely the land were and thy feet if taught and shall be died and inheritance come on reach up and grab hold of some spiritual inheritance that you have that you have not received yet but you will you have inheritance coming it both in a natural and the spirit realm praise the Lord I expect you to receive inheritances the Lord has kept me alive listen his words as he said these forty and five years even since the Lord spoke this word unto Moses while the children Israel watering the wilderness and now lo I am this day four score and five years old look at verse 11 and I am as strong saying I'm as strong right now as I was then I have the same passion come on I have the same zeal I remember what God said and I believe Lord said gonna give me this mountain all those giants all those i'ts give me the most difficult land on the oldest one here I remember the promise of God I have the most experience I don't need the easiest job I want the hardest line I will challenge you today to write down some of the promises that God has given you and some of the promises the Lord has given your children your great-grandchildren come on now write them down begin to believe God for them five four generations behind you that you will live to see and lay hands on and minister to twelve spies after 40 days of scouting ten bring back unbelief and doubt fear has moved into their heart but to have a different report they have the report of the Lord it harmonizes totally and completely with what God said in chapter 14 verse 8 9 say together I believe what God says a faith statement of declaration in the face of opposition even life-threatening facing Giants externally and internally can I hear an amen we will overcome the Giants into fortified cities will fall he had faith he had faiths they got he had faith and he claimed the territory that is God's promise for us Sega that is God's promise for us and that's all I focuses on when you follow the Lord with a whole heart you will come into alignment with God's nature you'll come into alignment with the gifts of the Lord you respond differently than the world your response will be one of victory you see with the eye of faith you see what God sees and faith causes you to persevere until you possess the promise saying I'm going to persevere until I possess the promise you're wasting your time I'm not wasting a day I'm not wasting an hour I'm not wasting a minute I'm pursuing my promise I know exactly what I'm doing because faith will enable you to persevere until you possess the promise step by step day by day you will see the blessing of the Lord his I was on the Lord together his eye is on the Lord and the promise that God had for him we're not running from something we're running to it come on now you weren't designed to run from something around tells buddy I am designed to move forward come on I'm designed to move forward Kalib number one he believed in God he never forgot to promise you never denied the facts of circumstances or the difficulty he did he cry when there was opposition he refused to focus on the facts or ignore them what he chose to do was believe what God said come on choose to believe what God said just one touch from God heard from Samson we ought to be jumping up and down shot Caleb waited till all the fear was buried all the unbelief was buried and when it came time to possess he spoke he acted he spoke he acted in the right time can I hear an amen what does God promise to you it's time to possess your promise Church all your life you've been preparing for this moment you've been waiting for this moment and it's here and God's gonna show himself strong in our behalf [Music] praise the Lord Jesus Christ together Jesus Christ through him and the cross the blood and a resurrection he has disarmed the enemy receiving Lord Jesus Christ and grab ahold of some victory that the Lord has provided for you in the cross come on in the cross with his blood and through his resurrection which one do you serve I choose to serve the one that had victory over death he's the only one that can give you everlasting life he's the only one that can give you abundant life and all the church said amen he enables his children to see through their eyes what he sees and today God is enabling us to see through his eyes to see what he sees oh it's a year of promise again it's a
