Israel walked to the Jordan River

They stayed there for 3 days.

In this season, it is a flooding time

Joshua 3:15 (NASB95)

Israelite must be scared and discouraged when they saw the great river of Jordan. it is in the flooding season.

The River flows in about 60km/p/h

witdth is about 1.5km

depth is about 4m

If one falls in the Jordan river, he will be blown away.

What would you do if you were the Israelites?

From the pillar of cloud and fire to the Ark of the Covenant

In the Ark of the Covenant are the stone tablets on which God’s wrote the 10 commandments (God’s relationship with man), a pot of manna (God’s provision and grace), and Aaron’s rod, a dead rod (God gives life, and God is all powerful, God, can do all things)

The first thing for following the Ark of the Covenant is to Consecrate yourself

Consecrate is to set aprart, to focus on the Lord, to confess, body, mind, and soul are on the LORD.

Stand still = the power of the LORD, showing the millions of Israelites that God is powerful and trustworthy

You see it priests are there, all you need to do is to follow them, who are carrying the Ark of the Convenat.

Crossing the Uncrossable.

if the people in the people in the fortified Joricho heard this, their heart would be broken, worse then melted.

What is your Jordan River?

What is the uncrossable in your life right now?

Would follow the Lord just like Joshau did?

Trusitng God knows the situation

Trusting God will lead through

Pray to God, seek for His counsel

Let God be God and let the us be the follower.
