A man of God has to be filled with the spirit of Faith. The Bible says that Caleb had another spirit in himNumbers 14:24
What is the spirit referred to here? Caleb was one of the twelve spies that were sent to the Promised Land.
Most of the spies saw mighty men, giants and people of great stature there and became afraid of them. They saw themselves as grasshoppers in comparison to these giants and that is what they told all the people when they came back. But two of these spies insisted that they could still go against the inhabitants of the land, that they could fight them and win, although they saw the real state of things, they spoke about what God can do through them, because they knew that if God had told them to go and take the land, they would be able to do so.
Although they were trusting in the Promises of God, they did not deny the reality. Rather, they demonstrated their confidence that with the Lord they could overcome circumstances,this is the principle of faith
As a result,God decided not to allow any of those who believed in what they saw and not what God said to enter into the land, only those who believed what God had promised them inherited the promise land.
You should not be led by what you see around you, if you act according to what you see you will not be able to eat of the fruit of the land. This means that the promises of God will not be fulfilled in your life and you will not be able to fulfill your calling. You must learn to take your orientation in faith, believe in God whom you can’t see and in His majesty and power.
The spirit of faith is an inherent characteristic of any person that God will use, He cannot use you supernaturally if you do not learn to walk and live by faith.
We teach about faith, we hear about faith but we must also learn to live by faith; to believe something will happen before it happens.
