  5. Faith or Unbelief Ten Spies Land could not be conquered “is a land that devours its inhabitants” “We are not able to go up against the people” “We are like grasshoppers” “So they brought to the people of Israel a bad report of the land that they had spied out,” Numbers 13:32 ESV

  6. Faith or Unbelief Caleb & Joshua • “And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it.” Num. 13:30 • Stilled the people • Go up at once • Well able

  7. Faith or Unbelief Ten Spies Caleb & Joshua Optimists = encouragers Full of good cheer Men of Courage With God they knew that nothing was impossible Pessimists = discouragers Spread gloomy tidings Blind to the power of God 10 people caused over 1 million people to give up and lose faith

  11. Unbelief brings Unhappiness Numbers 14:1 ¶ And all the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried; and the people wept that night. 2 And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron: and the whole congregation said unto them, Would God that we had died in the land of Egypt! or would God we had died in this wilderness! 3 And wherefore hath the LORD brought us unto this land, to fall by the sword, that our wives and our children should be a prey? were it not better for us to return into Egypt?

  12. Unbelief brings Unhappiness “Happiness is in the head, not the wallet.” Eye of Faith

  13. Why send spies ? God knew everything - He could have told Moses Test the attitude of his people - bring to maturity ! God allows us to go through trials and troubles. We are being tested - let us not fail the test Be like Caleb and Joshua not the ten spies
