Nancy Lee-Demoss says it's common for us to set our eyes on the wrong things.

We focus on the giants, the world, the flesh, the devil, our past, our weaknesses, our circumstances, other people.

And so often I find myself saying with this great lavish table displayed in front of me, when Jesus is

saying, come and dine, and I'm saying, it's too hard.

This is the Revive Our Hearts podcast for Friday, August 22nd, 2014. What obstacles are blocking your goals? Is there any way to get through them?

sessions here. One of the very most important

they've come through the wilderness, past Mount Sinai, they've been given the law, and now

it's time for them to go into the promised land. But they have sent 12 spies in advance to

check out the land to see what it's like. And we saw in the last session that when the 12 spies got into

Canaan, they came across some giants, some tall, warlike men, and they were scared, as we'll
