Joshua and Caleb had a higher perspective than the ten other spies in Numbers 13. They saw the same set of circumstances but put a different conclusion on what they saw. Circumstances are not as important as the conclusions we place on them. We are called to be like Joshua and Caleb, not the other ten spies who did not adequately factor in the power and promises of God. This powerful teaching will give you five foundational truths to build a stronghold of hope in your life.

The Bible says, “All things work together for good for those who love God, and are the called according to His purpose” (Romans 8:28). We know that as we turn to the Lord, everything we have experienced starts working for good. That is such a great truth concerning what we are facing today. But wait, there is more good news to know. Join Steve Backlund in this teaching about three other things to know about your greatest struggle.

High level influencers have high level beliefs about the people in their lives. Paul said in 2 Corinthians 5:16, “Therefore, from now on, we regard no one according to the flesh.” As we make declarations about others, we will increasingly see them for who God says they are. This, in turn, will cause our words to be more empowering and inspiring because “out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks” (Matthew 12:34). This message will motivate you to include in your prayer life declarations about others.

We cannot consistently do what we don’t believe we are. In Judges 6 the angel declared over Gideon that he was a mighty warrior. Even though it was not true in Gideon’s experience, it was still truth. When he heard who he was, it started the process of him experiencing it. We can be the “angel” in our life by telling us who we really are, and it will accelerate transformation in our lives. This teaching will show you how.

Declarations are a powerful way to increase our faith that God’s promises will manifest in our future. In this teaching, Steve Backlund shares some of the techniques he uses to build faith for tomorrow and the coming days.
