“But My servant Caleb, because he has a different spirit in him and has followed
Me fully, I will bring into the land where he went, and his descendants shall
inherit it.” Numbers 14:24
INTRODUCTION
Most of the time we fail the test of faith because we don’t know what the
Bible teaches.
Exodus 14:30-31- “So the LORD saved Israel that day out of the hand

Between the test in Exodus and the tests in Numbers God made a
covenant with Israel.
Exodus 19:4-6 – “You have seen what I did to the Egyptians and how I
bore you on eagle’s wings and brought you to Myself. Now therefore, if
you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant, then you shall
be a special treasure to Me above all people for all the earth is Mine.
And you shall be to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.”

Numbers 14:27-29 – “How long shall I bear with this evil congregation
who murmur against Me? I have heard the complaints which the
children of Israel murmur against Me. Say to them, As I live, ‘says the
LORD, just as you have spoken in My hearing, so I will do to you. :
“The carcasses of you who have complained against Me shall fall in
this wilderness…’”
