Numbers 14:36 (MSG)

So it happened that the men Moses sent to scout out the land returned to circulate false rumours about the land causing the entire community to grumble against Moses—all these men died. Having spread false rumours of the land, they died in a plague, confronted by God.

One of the most tragic accounts in history occurred when the children of Israel arrived at the promised land. After wandering in barren desert places for so long, they became accustomed to noticing only lack. When some were sent to investigate the new territory and report back, all but two returned with what God calls “an evil report” – false rumours about perceived, fear-based danger. As a result of their complaints, they and all who joined them in complaining died without possessing the promised land.

God takes complaining personally. Why? Because every complaint affronts His goodness, faithfulness, and provision. He brought you into the promised land with all its benefits and blessings. So, if your body shows you symptoms that don’t look like a promise, cast them out! If your bank balance tries to convince you that you’re broke, never believe it! These are false rumours! Refuse to focus on any perceived problem. Focus instead on the plenty God has provided. Look for your abundance and possess it no matter what!

PROPHETIC DECLARATION

I refuse to entertain false rumours of lack or limitation. Complaining has no place in my life. I declare abundance only. I focus on plenty and possess His promises in Jesus' Name! Amen.
