Then the devil took him into the holy city. He set him on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to him, "If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, for it is written, 'He will command his angels concerning you,' and, 'On their hands they will bear you up, so that you don't dash your foot against...

Moses sends 12 spies in to spy out the land promised to them and bring back some fruit of that land. They go into the land, bringing back figs, pomegranates, and grapes, (the grapes being so enormous that it took two men to carry one cluster on a staff between them). Sure enough, they came back with the report of this land flowing with milk and honey, BUT there are giants over there! There is that one little word that has robbed people of their faith. A few to mention for example would be, "I know God can heal, But. I know God can deliver, But. I know God can open the door, But." Every time you add a (But) to the promises of God. You limit God.
Grapes equal the promises, blessings, and provisions of God. Giants equal the enemies and adversaries to your promises and those provisions.Giants are employed by the devil to resist you, frustrate you, and steal the promises of God for your life.You are either going to have giants or grapes, but you can't have both! That means: either the Giants are going to occupy your thoughts and control your life or the grapes will. If you are motivated and driven by the grapes, the giants won’t be any problem. However, f you are controlled and manipulated by the giants, then you will never taste the grapes.
You possess a grape grabbing giant killing faith!
When you fill your eyes with the promises of God. The problems in your life become very small. You are not going to have your eyes full of the giants anymore, you are going to see grapes. I declare not only for me, but I am sure that some others may agree, but as for me and my house, we are doing some grape weighing, we are weighing the promises of God that are heavier and more powerful than any giant. I can feel in my spirit some faith standing up in some people right now. Do not let the Giants stop you from eating your grapes. These are you blessings and promises from God! The devil knows they belong to you, but he won't give up without a fight. Just remember now, the kingdom of Heaven suffers violence and the violent take it by force.The grapes are your reward for standing on the word of God.
Right now a special anointing is being released from the hand of the Father that you shall back these giants down and take back what is yours. You shall enjoy the grapes (blessings) God has given to you. Just keep standing on his word for it will not fail you. He will not fail you! There is no ifs, and's, or buts about it! You are coming out with a giant stomping grape grabbing anointing. I pity the giant that tries to stand between you and your grapes.
Matthew 5:6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.

"You are either going to have giants or grapes, but you can't have both!" Amen, what we focus on affects the direction of our lives immensely. It directs the words we speak into the spirit realm, to people around us, and the actions that shape our lives!
