Your Second Chance is Coming!

I was sitting at my kitchen table and the Lord spoke to me and said, “My Calebs are about to be given their second opportunity.”

My mind naturally gravitated towards Numbers 13 where the Lord told Moses to send spies into the promised land, and each tribe was to send one of their leaders to serve as a spy. Caleb was a leader within the tribe of Judah.  It was only Caleb and Joshua that brought back a good report among the twelve spies. Caleb vocalized that now was the time to conquer and win.

“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.”’

-Numbers 13:30

We know the people were not allowed to enter the promised land because of their unbelief.  The only exception was Caleb and Joshua (Numbers 14:30). 

“Nevertheless, as surely as I live and as surely as the glory of the Lord fills the whole earth, not one of those who saw my glory and the signs I performed in Egypt and in the wilderness but who disobeyed me and tested me ten times— not one of them will ever see the land I promised on oath to their ancestors. No one who has treated me with contempt will ever see it. 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.”

-Numbers 14:21-24

Nevertheless, both Joshua and Caleb experienced profound delays in their destiny and calling.  They wandered in the desert for 40 years, and it was not their fault!  They suffered from the consequences of other people’s sin. They were denied opportunity and potential because of other people’s unbelief. 

So when the Lord spoke to me and said, “My Calebs are about to be given their second opportunity,” I knew exactly what He was saying. There are people that have a history with God.  They have lived a life of faith and have a different spirit about them. Unfortunately, they were denied opportunity because of other people’s actions and unbelief.  They suffered the consequences of other people’s actions. The good news for these people is that their second opportunity is coming soon!

Then the Lord said to me, “The ones who allow disappointment to make them critical, jaded, and unbelieving and have turned their anger toward My people will not be given a second opportunity. The ones who have remained in faith, who have stayed positive, continued in prayer, remained in love and have kept a kind disposition toward those who have failed will be given a second opportunity. These are the ones who have kept their faith in Me and in My redemptive power.” 

So if you have been a Caleb, there is something still burning inside of you.  If you’re waiting for a second chance, the Lord wants you to know a few things to prepare you for the coming opportunity.
