Empowered for Victory in All Your Battles 2
Numbers 14:6-9 (NKJV)
But Joshua ..and Caleb ..., who were among those who had spied out the land, tore their clothes; and they spoke .., saying: a "The land we passed through to spy out is an exceedingly good land. If the Lord delights in us, then He will bring us into this land and give it to us,'...' Only do not rebel against the Lord, nor fear the people of the land, for they are our bread; their protection has departed from them, and the Lord is with us. Do not fear them."

For you to be victorious in all your battles this year, you must be ready to change your perspective of your battles. Until you maintain a God perspective of your trials and challenges, you will not be able to experience God's direction and strength to overcome them. Do not panic. Instead, pray with faith and thanksgiving, Phil.4:6, Stand on God's Word concerning you.
Numbers 13:32 describes the negative perspective and declaration of the other ten spies as an evil report. Beloved, every thought, imagination and declaration that is not in line with what God says about you in His Word and in Christ is an evil one, so stay away from them.
The reason Joshua and Caleb said they were able to possess the land was not because there were no giants in the land. It was because God had said they were going to possess the land. I really love the way Caleb and Joshua described the giants in the land as “ bread." What do you do with bread or food? You eat it and it nourishes your body and health. That is how you must see every challenge that you will face this year. Refer to it as bread and supernaturally, you will have the strength to consume and overcome it. It will benefit you, as you face and overcome it. David saw Goliath differently and Goliath became just a pathway to his next level of impact and influence. No matter how great your challenge is or looks, never forget that you have already overcome because greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world, 1John 4:4. Fellowship with God and receive more of His perspective.
PRAYER: Heavenly Father, I ask that You fill me more and more with Your victory in my life, trials and challenges.
