I. Introduction
With the Sun a hand and a half from the horizon, the shadows lengthen as the breeze lifts the boys hair and the sound of his laughter.
Father and Son stroll down the river bank, the fishing was good today!
A little further down, the boy looks over at a pile on the bank.
“Whats up with those rocks Dad?”
“Rocks like that don’t stack themselves!”
“No son, they surely do not.”
These were put here.
A strong man was selected from each tribe many years ago, One tribe, one man, one rock.”
“That was the day God brought our people into this land.”
“That’s cool pops!
And is that another pile, just jutting above the water there in the current?”
“Good eye boy!
It sure is! an identical pile of rocks!”
Wow Dad! How in the world did they get those out there on a boat?
And how did they manage to drop them just so , that they would sit on top of each other in the middle of Jordan?”
“Smart lad.
You’re sharp!
such a thing would be just about impossible!”
“No, those were stacked there by the same guys on the same day as these on the bank.”
“You’re pulling my leg.”
“No son, I mean it.
That was the day that YAHWEH made the Jordan river stand up into the air.
Thousands of feet of water, stood right up, stacked up in fact, so that we could walk over into this promised land.
THe people that used to rule here, they shook with terror as the One true God, our God did what He said He would and brought us here.”
Son, remember what I say, YAHWEH promised us this land, and God always keeps His promises.”
“Hey son, do you remember what I told you when you were Just a baby?”
“Dad, how could I forget?
We go over this every day!”
“C’mon, say it for your old pops, say it again:
“Shma Yisrael, Adonai, Eloheinu Adonai Echad.”
“OH yes boy, that’s right.”
“These stones are here for a reason: That we may remember.”
“They are here so that we will never forget: God will take care of His People!!!!!!
“Son, hear me and never forget: We serve the One true God.
And He always keeps His Word.”
Abounding Grace, I have chosen to use this opportunity tonight, to remind you that this same Jesus, the one who has spoken to you and made promises to you, is He who cannot lie.
It is impossible for God to lie.
So it is that every promise God has ever made, will come to pass!
If all the world denies Him and says it is not so, stand firm and know that God cannot lie!
For example: He let us know this:
Folks, I don’t care who says what!
They may be the worst person in the world, they may be the best person in the world.
But if anyone tells you that Sin or loss or sickness or pain can get between you and HIs love, they are wrong!!!!!
Friend, do you have any idea tonight, just how much God loves you?
Now maybe you say that’s great and all, but listen, youre’ not living my life, you don’t know my struggles.”
Okay, fair enough.
I know sometimes the mountains seem so high and insurmountable.
I know.
But consider Romans 4:20-21.
This is what Paul said about Abraham, the father of Faith.
Here was a man with a word from God that seemed utterly impossible!
But watch this:
Watch and learn:
God gave me that verse early this morning.
Somebody needs to hear it and know:
God is going to take care of you!
“Abraham did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief.”
Now folks, there is doubt, like doubting Thomas, a guy who requires evidence to believe.
And then there is active unbelief.
Just choosing to deny the promise no matter what!
I’d rather have doubts and ask God for help, than an attitude of blanket disbelief!
But regardless: neither pose any problem for the promises of God!
He’s simply too big.
And He always keep His Word!
Neither doubt or unbelief can stand before the weight of God’s Word!
Everything He’s ever told you and promised you, is true and it stands!
And that truth friend, will stand till the world is on fire and way, way beyond even that!
There is a man who has counted 7, 147 promises to us in Scripture.
Wrote a book about it.
I don’t know!
I can’t beginto count them all!
But how bout just these few for starters:
Now as I read these to you, I want you to visualize the very Word of God, like an IV!
A direct infusion of truth and righteousness and peace direct to your inner being!
As we read it, recieve it:
Listen folks, you cannot suprise Jesus!
Nobody can!
Nothing can!
He’s got this whole thing all figured out!
Okay, so last verse here and I’ll let you go.
Acts CH4 Vs 13-28
This blew me away!
Now remember in Luke where it says :Then their eyes were opened and they knew Him?
Absolutely awesome!
Then just a vew verses down He says:
