<TITLE>06. Par 20-22</TITLE>L-20 Here they come back, but when they looked over into the land and seen all the Philistines, and the Amorites, and the Hivites, and the Perizzites, and all of those fellows all walled up and setting in their big kingdoms and so forth, they quivered in their boots. They come back and said, "Oh." When they called a counsel, brought all the children of Israel out, beautiful type now. And they stood up and said, "The land is beautiful. It's wonderful. It would be good if we could have a revival like that. But we just can't do it. That's all." Said, "Oh, we're just prey to them." Said, "My," said, "well, they're way bigger. Why, they're giants and so forth. And they're walled in. And it's impossible for us to take them. Oh, why did you bring us out of our churches out into this kind of a land?"

L-21 I want you to notice... This come in my mind just then. When Moses sent those ten spies over, it was in harvest of grape time: perfect type of Pentecost, first fruits. Pentecost was the--the in gathering, the first harvest. And when they was at Kadesh -Barnea, at judgment, then it was be determined on whether they could go on over and get the Holy Spirit or not, into the land of promise, where they'd promise. You say, "Is that a promise?" Yes, Peter said, "Repent, be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of your sins, you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, to them that's far off, even Chicago, as many as the Lord our God shall call."
We got too many people today saying, "It's too hard, we can't do it." We can. Harvest time...
That's the reason they got this big bunch of grapes and brought it back, for a evidence. I can see Caleb and Joshua, with that on their shoulders, marching down through there, just singing the jubilee song. Sure, they had the evidence. They could prove that it was a good land. They brought it back and give all the children a grape if they wanted one off of one cluster. Just look what a bunch of grapes they had.

L-22 Now, Joshua and Caleb, when they heard all these murmuring, the people saying, "Oh, it can't be done, it can't be done," Caleb run out in the midst of the people and quieten them, said, "Yes, it can be."
Joshua stood by him, said, "Certainly, it can be. God's given it to us." Amen. I like that. Yes, sir. What was it? They were positionally born in Christ. They had a knowledge of the Word, and the Word become manifested. Remember, every one of those Israelites had the Word of God preached to them. But it only taken effect upon Caleb and Joshua to realize what it was all about.
They said, "Oh, we can't do it." And the people begin to weep and begin to complain then, "Oh, why'd you bring us out? We ought to have died. Now, our little ones are going to be killed and so forth. And we'll go over there, and only thing, we'll be butchered up over there with them. That's all it'll be."
That's the way they say today, "Oh, we can't accept this here Full Gospel message; we can't accept Divine healing." Great big institutions and so forth, let one of their members believe in Divine healing and get healed, they'll turn them out. Don't tell me, I--I know.
