Conquering the Mountains</div>
 
Introduction: 
   Conquer speaks of control and mountain speaks of area. 
   We have a lot of areas in our lives that are still not in control. 
 
How did Caleb conquer the mountainous land promised to him?

Caleb drive out first his enemies. 
His promised land has a lot of enemies.

What are our present and dominating enemies? 
 
 
<ul>
<li>Temper – uncontrolled anger</li>
<li>Lust – a strong desire in bad sense.- II Timothy 2:22</li>
<li>Selfishness</li>
<li> Gluttony</li>
<li>Sensual desire</li>
<li>Pride</li>
<li> Unforgiving Spirit</li>
<li>Compromising to our belief.</li>
</ul>

 - Deut. 22:5 
    - II Cor. 11:14-15 
  - Separation 
 - Rom. 12:2 
 - I Cor. 11:14-15 
 
2nd Point: 
Caleb stand firmed for what God promised. 
The promise 
 - Num. 14:24 
The fulfillment of God’s promise. 
 - Josh. 14:13-14 
After 45 yrs, he still believe and claim it. 
 - Josh. 14:9,10,14 
 
3rd Point: 
Caleb wholly followed God. 
 - Num. 14:24 
 - Josh. 14:9,14 
Despite of other spies has a negative attitude. 
 - Number 13:31 
From the start Caleb have an obedient attitude. 
 Caleb has a positive attitude.

<div style="text-align: center;">
God's Only Plan of Salvation</div>
 
 
Have you prepared for eternity? God has prepared a place for you, and He has laid down the plan in His Word, the Bible: 
 
1. GOD LOVES YOU 
John 3:16 KJV - For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 
2. BUT YOU ARE A SINNER 
Ecc 7:20 KJV - For there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not. 
Rom 3:23 KJV - For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; 
Rom 3:10 KJV - As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: 
 
3. SIN SEPARATES YOU FROM GOD ETERNALLY, SIN WILL BE PAID FOR 
Isa 59:2 KJV - But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear. 
Rom 6:23a KJV - For the wages of sin is death; 
 
4. BUT CHRIST DIED TO PAY FOR THE PENALTY OF YOUR SIN 
1Cr 15:3 KJV - For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 
1Jo 1:7 KJV - But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. 
1Pe 2:24 KJV - Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. 
  
5. YOU CAN BE FORGIVEN AND SAVED 
1Jo 1:9 KJV - If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 
Rom 10:13 KJV - For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. 
 
6. TODAY ETERNAL CAN BE YOURS 
Rom 6:23b KJV - but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. 
Jhn 6:47 KJV - Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life. 
 
7. SALVATION & ETERNAL LIFE COMES THROUGH JESUS CHRIST ONLY 
1Ti 2:5 KJV - For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; 
 2Cr 5:21 KJV - For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. 
Jhn 10:28 KJV - And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any [man] pluck them out of my hand. 
  
8. YOU MUST MAKE THAT DECISION TODAY, DO NOT DELAY. 
Hbr 9:27 KJV - And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: 
Jam 4:14 KJV - Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. 
 2Cr 6:2 KJV - (For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.) 
 
9. IF YOU REJECT GOD'S PLAN OF REDEMPTION, YOU ARE CONDEMNED TO ETERNAL TORMENT IN THE LAKE OF FIRE. 
John 3:18 KJV - He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 
Rev 21:8 KJV - But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. 
 
What should you do? 
1. Admit you are a sinner 
2. Admit you deserve judgment in hell 
3. Admit Christ died for you and rose again. 
4. Ask Christ to deliver you from sin and hell, trusting Him to actually do it. 
Do a Prayer something like this:

Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner, and I ask for Your forgiveness. I believe You died for my sins and rose from the dead. I turn from my sins and invite You to come into my heart and life. I want to trust and follow You as my Lord and Savior. In Jesus Name.</div>
<div style="color: #252525; font-family: sans-serif; line-height: 21.280000686645508px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
Amen</div>
<div style="color: #252525; font-family: sans-serif; line-height: 21.280000686645508px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
Find a true church and grow in your faith, a church who believes in Salvation by grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone.</div>
