Too Heavy To Bear Alone

Numbers 13:23
When they reached the valley of Eschol they cut off a branch bearing a single cluster of grapes, two of them carried it on a pole between them along with some pomegranates and figs.


Sometimes, God will send you into a place that is overflowing, sometimes with milk and honey and the abundance can be overwhelming. Oftentimes, when we think about not being able to bear something alone we think about bad news, but sometimes God can take you to a place where there is so much fruit that you can’t carry it by yourself. I can imagine that the two men that were carrying the clusters of grapes were Joshua and Caleb. They were the only two that came back with a positive report. Everybody else was punked out by the sight of the Giants. Caleb said that we can take the land, the other ten said, “We are like grasshoppers in our own sight and in their sight as well.”

God wants you to take over the land with the help of a spiritual partner because the load is too heavy to carry by yourself. You got to make sure you choose the right partner. I can imagine Joshua and Caleb walking back with that big cluster of grapes speaking into each other. “Man look at all these grapes! Look at how big they are!” They were not focusing on how big the giants were they were focusing on how big the fruit was. It all depends on who you are walking with in how you see your situation.
God does not call us to be timid against our blessings regardless of the size that it may come in. We must face our giants in order to get our giant fruit.

Five things you need to know when you partner up with the right person to go get your fruit:

1. How you see yourself determines how others see you. You have got to see yourself victorious before you can win.

2. It’s not the size of the dog in the fight but the size of the fight in the dog.

3. Don’t let the majority rule your opinion over what God has already spoken in your spirit.

4. Greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world.

5. Two are better than one. If one falls down there will be no one there to pick him up.

Dear God,
Help me to choose the right friend to help me go get all this fruit that you have spoken in my life. You have shown me that the land is ours; now show the right partner to go get this fruit. I’m ready to take everything that you have already promised to us.

In Jesus Name,
Amen.
