WAKE UP CALEB!!! (But my servant Caleb), because he had another spirit with him, and hath followed me fully, him will I bring into the land whereinto he went; and his seed shall possess it. Num 14: 24 (KJV) In our test we are looking at the children of Israel who fail to take possession of their inheritance, not because it was not available but because they were not willing to confront their adversaries to get it. God was angry at the rebellious self preserving Israelites, but he took a great deal of pleasure in one named Caleb. We are at war and now is the time for men and women of God to step to the forefront and be the Men and Women of Valor and might that God has called us to be. Now is the time for that spirit of Caleb that God called (another spirit) to rise up. “Proclaim ye this among the Gentiles; Prepare war, wake up the mighty men, let all the men of war draw near; let them come up: 10 Beat your plow shares into swords, and your pruning hooks into spears: let the weak say, I am strong.” Joel 3:9 This scripture tells us that there are those who are of such quality of character and spiritual fiber that God refers to them as mighty. But they are asleep. “Asleep” a state of sleep; not attentive or alert; numb. It is a condition of body and mind in which the nervous system is inactive, the eyes closed, the postural muscles relaxed, and consciousness practically suspended. My friend I don’t care how strong you are, how big and bad to the bone you are, (if you are asleep it counts for nothing). You may be a potential superman, you may be able to pray heaven down, and blast hells gates off their hinges, You may have the bible memorized by chapters, and demons tremble when they hear your voice (But if you are asleep, You are no threat to the devil). The tragedy of the hour that we live in, is not that there are no mighty men or women of God, but that they are asleep (They have drifted into a kind of a stupor, they are in a kind of a daze) It’s like they are looking at the world through rose colored glasses furnished to them by the devil. They can hear and see what’s going on around them, but it doesn’t register that it’s that bad. What is it going to take for us to realize that it is that bad? That we are in a state of war; That Satan is after our children, that everything that is good and decent is being perverted and twisted? I’m not trying to promote fear and anxiety, but I am trying to provoke people to reality. We are at war and it’s not with terrorists from another country, it’s with terrorists from another kingdom. Samson was awesome, when he was awake and the Spirit of the Lord was upon him, but while he slept the enemy shaved his head, and stripped him of his power, and punched out his eyes and bound him. I sense a cry of the Spirit to wake up the mighty men: As in the verse I just read, I believe that many Mighty men and women of valor have quit fighting and gone to ‘farming,’ farming is good and there is a time for farming, but there is also a time for fighting. And this is the time to beat our plows hares into swords, and our pruning hooks into spears, and to stand strong in the strength of the Lord. I hear the Spirit saying : Wake up the spirit of Caleb, and Wake up the Spirit of Joshua, and Wake up the spirit of Gideon, and Wake up the spirit of Daniel. As in Caleb’s time there are Giants in the land. As in Gideon’s time there are invaders in the land. As in Daniel’s time there is pressure to conform and fit in, with a form of godliness that denies the power. Do not suppose that the enemy will simply go away if we just lay real still and pretend like we are not here. Like our natural adversary today, satan needs no action from you to provoke his actions, the fact is while we are pretending he is not there, he is stealing our children, wrecking our homes, and destroying countless lives....to be continued.
