Reading 1, Numbers 13:1-2, 25-14:1, 26-29, 34-35
1 Yahweh spoke to Moses and said,
2 ‘Send out men, one from each tribe, to reconnoitre the land of Canaan which I am giving the Israelites. Each of them is to be a leading man of the tribe.’
25 After forty days they returned from reconnoitring the country.
26 Making their way to Moses, Aaron and the whole community of Israel, in the desert of Paran, at Kadesh, they made their report to them and the whole community, and displayed the country’s produce.
27 This was the report they gave: ‘We made our way into the country where you sent us. It does indeed flow with milk and honey; here is what it produces.
28 At the same time, its inhabitants are a powerful people; the towns are fortified and very big; yes, and we saw the Anakim there.
29 The Amalekites occupy the Negeb area, the Hittites, Jebusites and Amorites the highlands, and the Canaanites the sea coast and the banks of the Jordan.’
30 Caleb called the people round Moses to silence and then said, ‘We must march in immediately and take it; we are certainly able to conquer it.’
31 But the men who had been with him said, ‘We cannot attack these people; they are stronger than we are.’
32 And they began disparaging to the Israelites the country they had reconnoitred, saying, ‘The country we have been to reconnoitre is a country that devours its inhabitants. All the people we saw there were of enormous size.
33 We saw giants there too (the Anakim, descended from the Giants). We felt like grasshoppers, and so we seemed to them.’
1 The whole community then cried out in dismay, and the people wept all that night.
26 Yahweh then spoke to Moses and Aaron and said:
27 ‘How much longer am I to endure this perverse community muttering against me? I have heard what the Israelites mutter against me.
28 Say to them, “As I live, Yahweh declares, I shall do to you what I have heard you saying.
29 In this desert your dead bodies will fall, all you who were counted in the census, from the age of twenty years and over who have muttered against me.
34 For forty days you reconnoitred the country. Each day will count as a year: for forty years you will bear the consequences of your guilt and learn what it means to reject me.”
35 I, Yahweh, have spoken: this is how I swear to treat this entire perverse community united against me. In this desert, to the last man, they shall die.’
Responsorial Psalm, Psalms 106:6-7, 13-14, 21-22, 23
6 Like our ancestors, we have sinned, we have acted wickedly, guiltily;
7 our ancestors in Egypt never grasped the meaning of your wonders. They did not bear in mind your countless acts of love, at the Sea of Reeds they defied the Most High;
13 But they soon forgot his achievements, they did not even wait for his plans;
14 they were overwhelmed with greed in the wastelands, in the solitary wastes they challenged God.
21 They forgot the God who was saving them, who had done great deeds in Egypt,
22 such wonders in the land of Ham, such awesome deeds at the Sea of Reeds.
23 He thought of putting an end to them, had not Moses, his chosen one, taken a stand in the breach and confronted him, to turn his anger away from destroying them.
Gospel, Matthew 15:21-28
21 Jesus left that place and withdrew to the region of Tyre and Sidon.
22 And suddenly out came a Canaanite woman from that district and started shouting, ‘Lord, Son of David, take pity on me. My daughter is tormented by a devil.’
23 But he said not a word in answer to her. And his disciples went and pleaded with him, saying, ‘Give her what she wants, because she keeps shouting after us.’
24 He said in reply, ‘I was sent only to the lost sheep of the House of Israel.’
25 But the woman had come up and was bowing low before him. ‘Lord,’ she said, ‘help me.’
26 He replied, ‘It is not fair to take the children’s food and throw it to little dogs.’
27 She retorted, ‘Ah yes, Lord; but even little dogs eat the scraps that fall from their masters’ table.’
28 Then Jesus answered her, ‘Woman, you have great faith. Let your desire be granted.’ And from that moment her daughter was well again.

9 Remember, I commanded you to be strong and brave. Don’t be afraid, because the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” - Romans 10:17

16 Heaven belongs to the Lord,
but he gave the earth to people. - John 17:14-18
14 I have given them your teaching. And the world has hated them, because they don’t belong to the world, just as I don’t belong to the world.
15 “I am not asking you to take them out of the world. But I am asking that you keep them safe from the Evil One. 16 They don’t belong to the world, just as I don’t belong to the world. 17 Make them ready for your service through your truth. Your teaching is truth. 18 I have sent them into the world, just as you sent me into the world.
- Luke 10:19
19 He is the enemy, but know that I have given you more power than he has. I have given you power to crush his snakes and scorpions under your feet. Nothing will hurt you. - Genesis 1:26-28
26 Then God said, “Now let’s make humans[f] who will be like us.[g] They will rule over all the fish in the sea and the birds in the air. They will rule over all the large animals and all the little things that crawl on the earth.”
27 So God created humans in his own image. He created them to be like himself.[h] He created them male and female. 28 God blessed them and said to them, “Have many children. Fill the earth and take control of it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the air. Rule over every living thing that moves on the earth.”

13
If my people would listen to me
and would live the way I want,
14 then I would defeat their enemies.
I would punish those who cause them trouble. - Ephesians 6:10-18
10 To end my letter I tell you, be strong in the Lord and in his great power. 11 Wear the full armor of God. Wear God’s armor so that you can fight against the devil’s clever tricks. 12 Our fight is not against people on earth. We are fighting against the rulers and authorities and the powers of this world’s darkness. We are fighting against the spiritual powers of evil in the heavenly places. 13 That is why you need to get God’s full armor. Then on the day of evil, you will be able to stand strong. And when you have finished the whole fight, you will still be standing.
14 So stand strong with the belt of truth tied around your waist, and on your chest wear the protection of right living. 15 On your feet wear the Good News of peace to help you stand strong. 16 And also use the shield of faith with which you can stop all the burning arrows that come from the Evil One. 17 Accept God’s salvation as your helmet. And take the sword of the Spirit—that sword is the teaching of God. 18 Pray in the Spirit at all times. Pray with all kinds of prayers, and ask for everything you need. To do this you must always be ready. Never give up. Always pray for all of God’s people.
- Matthew 18:18-20
18 “I can assure you that when you speak judgment here on earth, it will be God’s judgment. And when you promise forgiveness here on earth, it will be God’s forgiveness.[c] 19 To say it another way, if two of you on earth agree on anything you pray for, my Father in heaven will do what you ask. 20 Yes, if two or three people are together believing in me, I am there with them.” - James 4:7
7 So give yourselves to God. Stand against the devil, and he will run away from you - Hosea 4:6
6 “My people are destroyed because they have no knowledge. You priests have refused to learn, so I will refuse to let you be priests for me. You have forgotten the law of your God, so I will forget your children. - Philippians 4:13
13 Christ is the one who gives me the strength I need to do whatever I must do.
EMPTY WORDS, EMPTY THREATS, EMPTY ACTIONS
“The enemy is FILLING the airwaves and media screens with ACCUSING WORDS, THREATS, and PROMISES of more LAWSUITS and further CONTROL over your lives.
DO NOT FEEL OVERWHELMED OR HELPLESS! I AM allowing the enemy to SET THEMSELVES UP for a CRASHING FALL and RUDE EXPOSURE of all their LIES and UGLY SCHEMES.
Because you have been PUSHING BACK darkness and using your AUTHORITY to BRING TO NOTHING the enemy’s plans and schemes, they are now SPEWING EMPTY WORDS, EMPTY THREATS, and EMPTY ACTIONS.
They are so DESPERATE to HIDE their EVIL and to keep CONTROL over you that they are making SLOPPY, FOOLISH DECISIONS that will contribute to their DOWNFALL.
As they DOUBLE DOWN on FRANTICALLY pushing their BOGUS AGENDAS forward, you TRIPLE DOWN on calling for their EXPOSURE and DECLARING that all their evil schemes will BLOW UP in their FACES.
Declare that they are now speaking EMPTY WORDS, mouthing EMPTY THREATS, and releasing USELESS, EMPTY ACTIONS.
SUDDENLY, DOWN GOES the SHIP, the HOUSE of CARDS COLLAPSES, and the WALL CRUMBLES. NO FEAR, Army of Light! VICTORY IS ASSURED!”

Father God we break down those walls that have kept us captive. We call down all of the evil they have and are trying to do to us in Jesus name. Father we put all of our faith and trust in you and you alone. We give you all glory, honor, and praise in Jesus name. God bless you all and stay in faith that we are coming to the end of this road and on to the better road to bring in the greatest harvest of souls ever seen. Praise God!
