HE SAYS, SHE SAYS.....BUT WHAT HAS GOD SAID?



HE SAYS, SHE SAYS.....BUT WHAT HAS GOD SAID?

Numbers 13


1AND THE Lord said to Moses, 2Send men to explore and scout out [for yourselves] the land of Canaan, WHICH I GIVE TO THE ISRAELITES..... 21So they went up and scouted through the land from the Wilderness of Zin to Rehob, to the entrance of Hamath.... 27They told Moses, We came to the land to which you sent us; surely it flows with milk and honey. This is its fruit. 28BUT the people who dwell there are strong, and the cities are [a]fortified and very large; moreover, there we saw the sons of Anak [of great stature and courage]. 29Amalek dwells in the land of the South (the Negeb); the Hittite, the Jebusite, and the Amorite dwell in the hill country; and the Canaanite dwells by the sea and along by the side of the Jordan [River]. 30Caleb quieted the people before Moses, and said, LET US GO UP AT ONCE AND POSSESS IT; WE ARE WELL ABLE TO CONQUER IT. 31BUT his fellow scouts said, We are NOT able to go up against the people [of Canaan], for they are stronger than we are. 32So they brought the Israelites an EVIL report of the land which they had scouted out, saying, The land through which we went to spy it out is a land that devours its inhabitants. And all the people that we saw in it are men of great stature. 33There we saw the Nephilim [or giants], the sons of Anak, who come from the giants; and WE WERE IN OUR OWN SIGHT AS GRASSHOPPERS, AND SO WE WERE IN THEIR SIGHT.



Has the Lord given you a dream or vision, or placed a desire in your heart to accomplish something or BE something? Has He spoken a word to you personally, and/or through someone else, which 'clicked' in your spirit? If so, you had better be prepared! Satan is on the prowl!

See, Satan can't stand to see us blessed! He can't stand the dreams and visions, or the hopes and desires that the Lord has placed within us! He will do anything and use anything (or anyone) possible, to attempt to thwart the Lord's plans and promises for our lives! He will especially use those closest to us, because he knows that they are the ones who can hurt us the most!

He will use even well meaning Christian people to speak against what God has said! These people will even quote and twist scripture, which may appear to support their views, but as we look closer at the Word, we will clearly see the deception! Remember, Satan did that very thing to Jesus in the wilderness, so of course he will do the same with us! (Matthew 4:1-11) That's why it's very important to know and understand the Word of God for ourselves! And that's why it's vitally important to have a personal relationship with the Lord, so that we can hear His voice above ALL others! HE SAYS, SHE SAYS.....BUT WHAT HAS GOD SAID?

My friends, not everyone who calls themselves "Christian" or "Friend" want to see you blessed! They don't all truly care for you! Not everyone will be able to 'see' the vision or understand the dream! Not everyone in your life is meant to be taken to that next level alongside you! Not everyone in your life right now, is supposed to be there tomorrow! Many will walk away from you, and should they do so, PRAISE GOD! You don't need any stumbling blocks in your path anyhow! Amen?! Not everyone is going to cheer you on! Not everyone can take seeing what God is about to do! Not everyone wants to see where God is moving you... They can't handle it! Let them GO! Whatever the Lord removes from us, He gives back to us tenfold! Ask Job!

Oh yes, when they see what God is doing, and they see a glimpse into your future, they will slander you! They will try to 'abort' that baby'! They will do what they can to try to make you look bad to others, and to try to get others on board with them, etc. So like Satan, who after getting cast out of heaven, took a third of the angels with him! But they weren't REAL anyhow! They were pawns in the enemy's hands the whole time! They will try to discourage you and they will mock you and reject you, betray you... Kick you, spit on you, abuse you, persecute you and all in the Name of Jesus, but GOD... God knows your heart... He knows what He has spoken to you.. He knows the vision He impregnated you with! And as long as you continue to trust not what HE SAID, OR SHE SAID, BUT WHAT GOD HAS SAID.. You will give birth to a beautiful 'baby' which will in turn give 'birth' to many others! (Matthew 5:10, 1 Peter 3:14)

Whose report will you believe? The Lord's or the enemy's? You have to choose because you cannot believe both! God has blessed us with gifts and talents which we are to use to bring forth the vision! And then we can give Him all the glory due to Him! Whether you are a doctor using your God given wisdom to perform surgeries to save lives, which in turn makes you money...OR if you are an author of a book, writing devotionals or other inspiration (which could also save lives) which in turn makes you money; as long as whatever you are doing is giving GLORY to God, don't worry about what HE SAYS, OR SHE SAYS...BUT WHAT GOD HAS SAID! Be blessed!

1 Peter 3:14 (Amplified Bible)


14But even in case you should suffer for the sake of righteousness, [you are] blessed (happy, to be envied). Do not dread or be afraid of their threats, nor be disturbed [by their opposition].
