Yeti Men
Dads begin as default heroes, but to stay that way means living it, more than being a dad!
Same in Christ, made righteous, imputed, credited, but righteousness we live in
Christian heroes, stand before mountains in life and own it, Yeti Men
A Yeti is an abominable snowman, who lives on the mountain, it is his world
If we are going to surge forward, as fathers, spiritual walk, promises, own it
What does it mean to take the mountain? Stand for others, win for your family
Rom 8:37 In all these things we are more than conquerors through….
In all of what things, vs35 trouble, hardship, persecution, famine, danger, or sword
Caleb first spied land and walked on the mountain, promised the land he walked
Now 45 years later, the promise still stands, he is ready to see God’s it fulfilled
Joshua 14:12 Now give me this mountain that the LORD promised me that day. …their cities were large and fortified, but the LORD helping me, I will drive them out just as he said.”
Circle of Sold Out; God helped me, I will drive them out, just as God said
Heart of Power; God is the one who gives us the strength to take the mountain
Heart of Persistence; God does it through us, we must be willing to own it
Heart of Promise; out authority comes only from his word his promise, Jesus
Out of the 15 times wholeheartedly is used in OT almost have referred to Caleb
Yeti men live wholeheartedly; how can I do that and have the mountain promised?
Yeti men live wholeheartedly by taking a stand!
I pictured Joshua and Caleb as Joshua saying we can and Caleb saying yes…
Numbers 13:30 Then Caleb silenced the people before Moses and said, “We should go up and take possession of the land, for we can certainly do it.”
Joshua said we can, but Caleb stood up, the youngest leader against all others
His tribe Judah was the largest and would give the most men to fight for land
Darren Harrison landed the plane, he knew he had to act or they would die
Yeti men live wholeheartedly by having a different Spirit!
Caleb was able to claim the mountain because he had a different Spirit, not worlds
Num 12:24 But because my servant Caleb has a different spirit and follows me wholeheartedly, I will bring him into the land he went to, and his descendants will inherit it.
Yeti men must live with a different spirit, there is an inheritance or others
Elijah, mountain Carmel, harsh on others, but stays in the cave, missing the gentle spirit
Ephesians 4:2 Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.
Stand tough, strong, claiming mountain, but live different, His Spirit, kind to others
Yeti men live wholeheartedly by seeing beyond now!
Caleb asked for the mountain 45 years after he first walked on it after promised
Natural for Caleb ask soft spot, land conquered, settle down grow vegetables
Instead, at 85, asked for the very section that struck terror in the hearts of the ten spies
He saw beyond now 45 years ago, and now beyond now of present power at 85
He saw beyond now for his family, for their inheritance
He stood with his whole family because the mountain was his inheritance for them
What now excuses come to your mind, too old, young, weak, sick, sinful…
