Hi, I'm Robert Jeffress and I'm glad to serve as your Bible teacher every day on this great radio station on today's edition of Pathway to Victory.

Today we're going to look at a group of God's people who forfeited the blessings of the future because of fear.

And along the way we're going to discover some biblical principles for moving from fear to courage.

Welcome to Pathway to Victory with author and pastor Dr. Robert Jeffress.

Fear holds us back from achieving dreams and reaching goals.

But gratefully, with God's help, the mountain of fear can be conquered.

Today on Pathway to Victory, Dr. Robert Jeffress examines the Israelites cowardly response after exploring the promised land and shows us how we can overcome fear in our own lives.

Now here's our Bible teacher to introduce today's message.

Dr. Jeffress, thanks David and welcome again to Pathway to Victory.

And before we resume our study that began on Friday's program, I'll quickly remind you that this teaching series has been carefully expressed in a best-selling book I've written for you called Invincible.

Without a question, this is one of the most practical books I've ever written because we're tackling common obstacles in life, such as doubt, guilt, worry, and fear.

And just after my message, I'll explain how you can request your copy of my book Invincible.

Now it's possible you already own a copy of Invincible.

You'll be pleased to learn that in addition to the Invincible book, which you can give to a friend, we're also including an exclusive audio and video recording.

The CD and DVD includes a special message I gave recently as the keynote speaker at the National Religious Broadcasters Convention.

I chose to warn my colleagues in ministry about the upcoming persecution of Christians in America.

My message is titled When Persecution Comes. All of us need to prepare for the inevitable.

And a little later on, we'll explain all the details and how to receive a copy of this very timely message.

But right now it's time to pick up our study in the 13th chapter of Numbers, where at verse 27, that's Numbers 13 beginning with verse 27.

Remember the spies had just returned from the promised land to give their personal report.

And what unfolds is a case study in conquering the mountain of fear.

From the Invincible series I titled today's message, moving from fear to courage.
