Dont Settle for the Sample Pastor Sean Pinder I love to sample stuff and, if the sample is good,

my wife knows her husband will go after the whole deal. Ive been like that all my life. If Im going to go after something, Im going in head over heels. The Holy Ghost started saying to me, !ont settle for the sample." This is a message of en#ouragement, but also a message of warning. And they returned from searching of the land after forty days. $%um. &'()*+ ,oses sent the twelve spies, saying, Go #he#k out the Promised -and and bring ba#k samples of what is there." God had promised the #hildren of Israel, I will bring you into a land flowing with milk and honey." ,ilk and honey represent prosperity. the land was fruitful. I believe were in the land of promise, but theres still more. And they went and came to Moses, and to Aaron, and to all the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh; and brought back word unto them, and unto all the congregation, and shewed them the fruit of the land. $%um. &'()/+ Isnt that awesome0 They were showing them grapes and fruits and saying, 1ll of this is in the Promised -and." And they told him, and said, We came unto the land whither thou sentest us, and surely it floweth with milk and honey; and this is the fruit of it . $%um. &'()2+ This is where they made their first mistake. They told ,oses, 3e #ame into the land where you sent us." It flowed with milk and honey. They brought ba#k samples of what was in the Promised -and. Thats what a forty4day fast is all about. 1 forty4day fast is going into the Promised -and. I saw some fruits from the first forty4day fast that I did( blind eyes opened, deaf ears opened, and #ripples walked. Ne ertheless the !eo!le be strong that dwell in the land, and the cities are walled, and ery great" and moreo er we saw the children of Anak there. $%um. &'()5+ !oesnt this sound like #hur#h people0 God said that, but He meant6" %o, He meant e7a#tly what is in the 8ook. This is e7a#tly what He meant. And I am come down to deli er them out of the hand of the #gy!tians, and to bring them u! out of that land unto a good land and a large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey; unto the !lace of the $anaanites, and the %ittites, and the Amorites, and the Peri&&ites, and the %i ites, and the 'ebusites. $97odus '(5+ God had promised this to 1braham, and this was the time of the fulfillment. Prophe#y is only the sample. 3hen God gives someone a word to prophesy over you, its only a sample of whats going to happen in your life. How you respond to that propheti# word determines whether youre going to settle for the sample or whether you want the whole nine yards. This is where people get into trouble. The #hildren of Israel heard the promise from Heaven. ,oses told them what Thus saith the -ord." 8ut look at what they added to it. God

had never said this word. The same demoni# a#tivity that happened ba#k then is still happening today. ,en are still adding to the 3ord of the living God. %o wonder people are not being healed. People are supposed to be healed in every #hur#h in this world. 8ut you know why they arent being healed0 8e#ause people are taking away from the 3ord of God. The people of Israel said, %evertheless6" God never said %evertheless." He said, Im going to give you the land." They had their eyes on themselves instead of getting their eyes on the awesomeness of God. In fa#t, they never had their eyes on Him. (he Amalekites dwell in the land of the south" and the %ittites, and the 'ebusites, and the Amorites, dwell in the mountains" and the $anaanites dwell by the sea, and by the coast of 'ordan. $%um. &'():+ God told them all these people were there. this was nothing new to them. God told it to ,oses in 97odus '(5, and ,oses told it to the people. They ;ust werent listening to ,oses when he prea#hed to them. ,oses told them the 1malekites were in the land. And $aleb stilled the !eo!le before Moses, and said, )et us go u! at once, and !ossess it; for we are well able to o ercome it. *%um. &'('<+ 1nd =aleb6" Im of a different Spirit. Im not a #oward, a #hi#ken, or a punk. I am a man on fire, full of the Holy Ghost. I am a man of God #alled to shake the devil off this generation. 3hen =aleb heard this report, the Holy Ghost stood up in him like a wild bear. like a lion. =aleb stilled the people before ,oses. There are times you #an hold your tongue, but there are times you #ant hold your tongue. =aleb sat through the whole mess of their stinking report until the Holy Ghost started rolling on the inside. =aleb said, I wasnt going to say anything, but I #ant help myself." Its time to speak. 3hether people listen or not will not be my responsibility. ,y ;ob is to tell them what thus saith the -ord." God told >eremiah, ?ou tell them what I say." He told 9@ekiel one thing for sure( They are going to know that a prophet was in their midst." =aleb is my kind of man. He said, Aorget this hogwash. Ive had enough of this talk stuff. Im ready for a#tion." 3e always speak too fast, be#ause then God says, Aast forty days." 8y the gra#e of God, I did it and Ive seen samples. =aleb said, -et us go6" >esus said, Go into all the world6" -ets dont shout about it( lets go up at on#e, be#ause we are well able to possess it. Im ready. Here am I, -ord. Send me." ?ou need a vessel0 ?ou need somebody that dont #are what their religion and their denomination says0 !o you need somebody that only #ares what Thus saith the -ord0" !o you need somebody that will tell them the truth whether they want to hear it or not0 God, you have found your man. Here am I. Send me." =aleb said, Ive heard enough garbage from these men. Aorget their trash and lets go." Thats what I like to hear. I used to like to rumble. Some of my buddies used to sit around and talk all day about what they were going to do. Id tell them, Ill see you all later be#ause you dont mean business. If youre going to rumble, Ill be the first one to throw a pun#h. -ets get it started. God, do you need someone to throw some blows0 Ill pi#k a fight against the devil. -ets go. +ut the men that went u! with him said, We be not able to go u! against the !eo!le; for they are stronger than we. $%um. &'('&+

They were bound in the natural. They were in bondage to as far as their eyes #ould see, be#ause the inhabitants were tall and big. I wish they had !avid in that #amp.

And they brought u! an e il re!ort of the land which they had searched unto the children of Israel, saying, (he land, through which we ha e gone to search it, is a land that eateth u! the inhabitants thereof; and all the !eo!le that we saw in it are men of a great stature. $%um. &'(')+ !o you know what an evil report is0 The report of unbelief. It is saying you #ant do what God says you #an do. God #alls unbelief an evil. Some people say, God said it, I believe it, that settles it." ?ou are wrong.

Aor ever, D -DE!, thy word is settled in heaven" $Ps. &&:(5:+ 8ut the people said, 6all the people that we saw in Fthe landG are men of a great stature." The devil always likes to use intimidation.
