Seeing Where God Wants You To Go
Pastor Floyd's first message from the series "Believing God For The Impossible"
$6.00 — $12.00
This morning I am going to begin a 3-week series that we are calling “Believing God For A Miracle.” Believing God to do the impossible, that’s what we’re believing God to do in our lives, in our church, and for the rest of our lives.
Many of us, we really want to see God do some of those things that maybe we’ve often envisioned, but we’ve given up, and we’ve become so ingrained in our traditional format of life and our walk with the Lord that we have forgotten the beauty and the power that is before us.
In fact over the next 3 weeks beginning today we’re going to talk about that subject. Today we’re going to talk about how the first is so important and that is “Seeing Where God Wants You To Go.” I mean if you’re going to be able to believe God for the impossible, you’ve got to be able to see where God wants you to go.
Next week, you don’t need to miss next week, we’re going to talk about casting unbelief out of your life because in reality if you’re going to believe God for the impossible in your life, whatever that impossible is, the thing you can’t see being done where you are, you’ve got to be able to understand casting unbelief out of your life.
And then we’re going to on April 3rd talk about taking ground away from the enemy. I guarantee you the enemy has a lot of what God wants us to have, and we settle for it, and we just don’t ever combat it. I’m going to talk about on that particular Sunday how to take away ground from the enemy.
We’re going to be using the book of Exodus along the way because the book of Exodus beginning in chapter 3 is a powerful text to discuss and to talk about in relationship to believing God for the impossible.
Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Any of ya’ll remember that when you had children in your home, those of you who have kids today? You know what that’s like. I remember years ago when my boys were growing up in our home many times we would leave on a Sunday night after church or after a Christmas Eve Service, or after something late. We’d get in the car and we’d drive all night to Texas because my mom and dad lived a long way from here, at least 10 hours away from here, just south of Austin, Texas, and so with that, I mean, you know, that was part of the journey. And many of those nights as we had just gotten barely out of the city limits of Fayetteville one of the boys would ask hey daddy are we there yet? Are we there yet?
I believe one of the great things about being a grandparent is that you get to see your grandchildren pay your children back for all the misery they caused you in your life. I know my boys this summer somewhere along the way they’re going to go on some kind of road trip away for a few days and go somewhere. And Josh has 3, Nick has 2, and I’m sure as soon as they depart one of their kids is going to ask that. In fact, just recently, about 3 weeks ago, Meredith took the 2 children to Dallas. Nick was involved in something and she was going to see some friends. She said she had barely gotten out of the subdivision and Reese asked her mommy are we there yet?
You know grandchildren are a great blessing of the Lord. My friend Ken Whitten down at Ottawa Church he says it this way, he said, “I remind my kids all the time,” all of them live down there, he said, “I remind my kids all the time that they are two kind of lights I like. First of all I like Christmas lights, and secondly I like tail lights, so don’t ever forget it.”
But with that you know we have five grandchildren 5 and under. I don’t spend a lot of time talking about my grandkids much publicly. I do privately but not publicly, but I want to tell you about my grandchildren today because they help illustrate a very important point here this morning. I haven’t shown you any pictures in a while and I want to show you some pictures.
Let me introduce you to Peyton. Peyton is 5 years of age. Peyton is a leader. Always in charge. Extremely picky. Always gets his way. He is so much like his grandmother, Jeana, it is amazing! And you think about Peyton and what Peyton’s going to be one day. Peyton’s going to be a leader. It doesn’t matter what it is he’ll lead it. He’ll lead it! He told me this past week he wants to be a coach. It doesn’t matter if he’s a coach or whatever, Peyton will be one of those children that grows up and develops his leadership and he will be a leader in whatever he does.
And then my next grandchildren chronologically, while Peyton belongs to Josh and Kate, then Reese Caroline came along. She belongs to Nick and Meredith. Reese is a sweetheart. I mean Reese, her vocabulary is incredible. She’s almost 4, and I hate to say this but her vocabulary is probably better than half of our staff team. I mean she’s got a great vocabulary. And uh, and she will one day be a teacher. Jeana thinks she’s going to be a great, wonderful mom because she’s already acting like that. I can see her being a missionary. I mean is one little special girl, sweet and beautiful. I told her, I told her yesterday, I told her earlier in the week, I said, “Honey did you know we almost named you almost?” Almost? Yea, because you were almost perfect, and we almost named you that.
And she is. You know that one little outfit there? That little princess outfit? I didn’t even know that thing existed. Honest to God. When I went with my children, Nick and Mer, and they took those two kids to Disney World last summer, in the castle, I think it was in the castle. It was like a dungeon to me, but in the castle there’s this little place where all these little girls they get made up and you pay to get made up. I mean we walked in there and I’d never seen anything like that. I had two boys. I mean man we were into you know real stuff like sports, and more sports, and sports. We walked in and Nick and Meredith had already bought a package, and here when they put her up in that chair, and, and I looked over and I said, “Where’s her dress?” Well, she doesn’t get a dress. All of these other little girls had a dress. I told Jeana, “How much is a dress? Find out how much a dress is.” Well Jeana found out about a dress, and I said get the girl a dress!
Here I am, I’m just an innocent bystander and I’m paying for a dress. And here’s what Reese said, she’s got it figured out ladies, she said, honest to God, three years of age, she said, “Well if I have a dress I’m going to need some shoes too.” So I ended up buying her some shoes! I mean one question ended up costing quite a bit of money!
And then there’s Parker. Ah, while you’ve got a leader in Peyton, and a mom in Reese Caroline, you’ve got a lover in Parker. I mean he’s a lover, laid back, but don’t be deceived, extremely sneaky. He has a linebacker mentality and will take you out in a minute! Parker’s interesting. You see his little outfit there he wears sometimes. I mean he changes clothes about 8 to 10 times a day, and it’s amazing what he shows up in sometimes when he comes to see us in our home. We’re all-together and say I wonder what Parker’s going to be when he grows up? We all decided this is what Parker the loverboy will be, one day you will see Parker on the Bachelor. That’s where Parker will be.
Parker belongs to Josh and Kate, and then came Beckham. Beckham belongs to Nick and Meredith. Beckham, we don’t have a grandchild like Beckham. He’s an investigator. He gets into every closet, every bookshelf, every drawer. If he can’t reach it, he climbs to it. I mean I’m telling you the boy will work for the FBI one day, and we decided this week we’re going to name him 007 James Bond. He’s got a smile that will captivate all the girls, but I’m telling you Harrison he’ll blow you up and you’ll never know it! That’s how gifted he is.
And then there’s little Jack Bailey. He belongs to Josh and Kate. Jack Bailey, he’s gentle, he goes with the flow. I don’t know what he’s doing in that pumpkin. That just really got me. I was almost embarrassed to put that up there but so what. His daddy’s a football coach so maybe he’ll be able to see the long-term goal for his life. But he’ll capture your heart. He’s too young what he will be, and what he will do, but he’s a sweetheart of a young boy.
You say pastor why do you take time talking about that? Those kids are experts in asking are we there yet? And those children when they’re on a trip, or about to go on a trip, you know they don’t comprehend an hour of time. They don’t have the capacity to understand what, what 300 miles is like in the car. They’re a lot like we are in our walk with Christ. In our walk with Christ we’re a lot like those children, aren’t we? We don’t comprehend what God is doing. We don’t even comprehend the process that God might have us in, sometime it doesn’t make sense, sometime we just don’t have a clue of it, and I mean all of a sudden we get frustrated and we quit, and there’s so much more that God wants us to have in life, and we just settle for where we are because we don’t comprehend what’s going on.
You see you’ve got to know where you’re going and that’s what I want to talk about today is seeing where God wants you to go. You’ve got to be able to see it if you’re ever going to realize it. Do you know where you’re going in your life today? You know your direction? Do you know your ultimate goal is to be like Christ? Do you grasp that? Do you understand that that God’s goal for your life is for you to look like Christ, and for you to indent the world in which you live for the sake and the purpose of Jesus Christ and Him alone?
So I ask you today do you see where God wants you to go?
Have you ever heard of Moses? Moses was a great leader. You want to learn leadership? Study the life of Moses. Moses was sent by God to take the people of God out of Egypt to lead them out of Egypt and to take them towards what is called in the Scripture the Promised Land. We read about Moses in chapter number 3 of the book of Exodus, and I want you to get a copy of God’s Word today, and I want you to read the passage with me. Beginning in verse 7, reading from the ESV, the Scripture says, “Then the Lord said, ‘I’ve surely seen the affliction of My people who are in Egypt, and have heard their cry because of their taskmasters. I know their sufferings and I have down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land to a good and broad land, a land flowing with milk and honey to the place of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Parasites, the Hevites, and the Gebusites, and now behold the cry of the people of the Lord is come to Me, and I have also seen the oppression of which the Egyptians have oppressed them. Come He was saying to Moses, I will send you to Pharaoh that you may bring My people, the children of Israel, out of Egypt.’ But Moses said to God, ‘Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the children of Israel out of Egypt?’ God said back to him, ‘But I will be with you, and this shall be the sign for you that I have sent you and when you have brought the people out of Egypt, you shall serve God on this mountain.’
He is calling Moses to a great vision. And the great vision that He is calling Moses is to believe God for the impossible. That’s exactly the vision that he was called towards by the Lord God Himself. What was the impossible vision? Here were the people of God in Egyptian bondage for 430 years. God’s vision was for them to go to the Promised Land, the land of promise that is talked about in the Old Testament. They had to break free from the Egyptian bondage. They had to go on a journey, and they had to get to their ultimate destination.
The Bible talks about this land being a place of milk and honey. He was calling them out of the slavery that they were experiencing into a brand-new land, a special land, and when He talks about that honey, He’s talking about a place of a bountiful, bountiful provision. A place where they would never have a need because that’s how good the land is that God gave them.
And He told them, He said, “Listen, by the way, right now there are people already living in that land.” And He talks about all the cousins and the brothers called “ites” and He goes into all that list of those people, but God told them, God said, “Not their land, but it’s your land.” And that was going to take a man of God being able to see the vision that God had put into his heart, and to believe God for the impossible.
You know the Bible says in the book of Genesis chapter 12 a good word. “Now the Lord said to Abram,” in verse 1, “Go from your country and your kindred and your father’s house to the land that I will show you, and I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and make your name great so that you will be a blessing.” And then notice what He says, “I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you, I will curse. And in you all the families of the earth will be blessed.”
Someone might ask the question why do they call this land the Promised Land? Because it’s the land that’s been promised, that’s why. That’s exactly what the promise was in chapter 12 of Genesis. It’s the Promised Land. And so I want to call you today to understand the vision, and the call was to leave Egypt and take the people to believing God for the impossible of going to the Promised Land.
And then He shares that vision with the people. That was a moment in life, if you will look in chapter 6 of the book of Exodus we read about it. He talks about it in chapter 6, verse 8 and 9, “And Moses stands up and he tells the people I will bring you into the land that I swore to give,” or God is saying, “I will bring you to the land that I swore to give to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob,” He’s communicating this vision, and He says, “I will give it to you for a possession. I am the Lord. And Moses spoke thus to the people of Israel.” In other words Moses said what God just said to him. All right? And he said, the Bible says, “They did not listen to Moses.” Wonder why they didn’t listen to Moses? Here he is, he had this great vision, this great dream, but they didn’t listen. Why didn’t they? Notice what the Scripture says. “Because of their broken spirit and their harsh slavery.”
The people could not see God’s vision for their life, you know why? Because of their personal pain, and their personal bondage. I’m telling you that is no different than the church of America today. It is no different at all. You can cast a vision for God to do something great in someone’s life. You can cast a vision for God to do something great in a church, but so many people don’t see it. They don’t get it. They can’t envision it. They can’t see it. They can’t grasp it. Why is that? Because of their own personal bondage to sin, as well as their own personal pain. You can cast all kind of vision but people can’t see it, their pain is so great. Their pain is so enormous and in the midst of their own life they can’t see anything bigger than beyond themselves.
And then the Lord, what did He do? The Lord began to plague the people of, of, of Egypt. And the plagues were sent. And the signs were given. And the miracles were done to point people to the Lord. He raised up Moses and all of a sudden God was doing amazing things. When we look at the plagues, and we talk about those, and you can read about those in the book of Exodus, people think many times that the plagues were given basically to shut down Pharaoh, to break Pharaoh’s willful spirit. Listen, that’s one reason God gave the plagues, but I want to give you another reason God gave them. Remember? The people were broken-hearted. Their spirits were crushed. They couldn’t see the vision God had given them. And what God did by His grace through His profit Moses, and His leader Moses, God began to do all of these signs, all of these miracles, to build faith in the peoples’ life. They needed that faith to get up and to go where God wanted them to go.
And that’s the very reason God does things in your life and my life sometime is to help us get to where we need to go. It’s not about the now near as much as it is about where He ultimately wants us to go!
Then of course we come to Exodus 12 and the vision is launched and in Exodus 12 we read these words over in verse 40. He said, “The time that the people of Israel lived in Egypt was 430 years. At the end of 430 years,” listen to this, talk about a sovereign God, “on that very day all of the hosts of the Lord went out from the land of Egypt. It was a night of watching by the Lord,” interesting phrase there. “…to bring them out of the land of Egypt.” So this same night is a night of watching kept to the Lord by all of the people of Israel throughout their generations.
You know what that watching was about? That night was there as they were seeing the hand of God fulfill the plan of God for the people of God. I mean God stepped into their situation through all of the plagues, through all of the miracles, through all of the signs to get them to that land of promise where God ultimately wanted them to go. God began to watch that plan be fulfilled.
Do you realize today that Abraham had promised in the 15th chapter of Genesis in verse 13 that his people would be in a foreign land at least for 400 years under enormous bondage and suffering and pain. And then he talked about it over in chapter number 12 of Exodus in verse 50 and 51. He says, “All the people of Israel did just as the Lord commanded Moses and Aaron, and on that very day the Lord brought the people of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their host.”
Isn’t it amazing? Listen to this. On the very day God said it would happen, it happened. God has a plan, and we have to understand that plan is bigger than us. It fits into a sovereign, overall plan where God is always working. God is always moving. God is always doing something. If you have in your mind God is shut down on you, and God is silent with you; He’s not silent, He’s not shut down, He’s working! You’ve just got to be able to see what He’s doing, and you’ve got to be able to trust Him that He’s working, and He’s trusting for Him doing what He wants to do.
And then He led the vision. The Lord gave them a great vision, and you know how He led it? Look at chapter 13, verse 20 through 22. “And they moved on from Succothan and camped at Etham on the edge of the wilderness. And the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of cloud to lead them along the way, and by night a pillar of fire to give them light that they might travel by day and by night. And the pillar of cloud by day and the pillar of fire by night did not depart from before the people.” God was with them, and God led them personally to do the impossible.
Here’s the question today, what does all that mean? In that narrative that we’ve read and we’ve explained, and we’ve told you about, what does all that mean for you, and what does all that mean for me? You see God wants us to go where He wants us to be. He, He, He has a destination point for us, but it’s not simply about the destination, quite honestly, most of the time it’s about the journey. And the journey you’re going on is believing God to do something that it doesn’t seem possible for it to be done any longer!
I don’t know if you get it or not, but I want you to get this today: God’s dream for your life is bigger than yours. God’s vision for your life is bigger than yours. We look at our vision for our church over the next 3 years and some of us go wow now I can’t believe that. Let me just make it real clear folks, God’s got a bigger vision for this church than this church has for itself. A lot bigger vision, and He’s not quenched by anything. He will do what He wants to do when He wants to do it.
Here’s the key: if you want to set your heart and you want to set your eyes, and you want to set your all on believing God for the impossible in your life, see God use you greatly; don’t you want to be used greatly by God? See God do what you can’t do on your own, making you more Christ-like and you can’t get there on your own. You can’t make a willful decision today and say well I want to be more like Jesus today. You’re going to crater by the time you drive out of the driveway. It’s not a willful decision like that, it’s a willful decision to want to walk with Christ, and I’m going to make decisions today that are going to make me more like what God wants me to be, but in this journey how am I going to get to that point? How am I going to get where God wants me to go?
Well I think you’ve got to remember some things that you can take with you. Let me tell you what you can know today. It’s all in the book of Exodus, and what a powerful illustration it is for each one of us today. Here’s what you can know. Let me tell you as you go on the journey to the impossible, to God doing something great, and new, and fresh in your life, let me tell you what you can know, you can know first of all that:
1. God is with you. God is with you. You’re not alone. God is with you. The Bible here talks about it. You remember? In the, in the Exodus story, chapter 3, verse 12, what did God tell Moses? Moses wasn’t excited about going where God wanted him to go. He didn’t even know what God was talking about. He sure wasn’t excited about leaving because he didn’t see himself being a leader. He debated with God, argued with God, five times he debated with God, but he ended up finally releasing himself to do what God wanted him to do.
But you know what was the real key to his release? Do you know what the Lord told him? I will be with you. In fact some of the translations say it extremely well. I will certainly be with you. I want to say to you today wherever you’re heading in your life, especially if it’s where God wants you to go, He’s with you. In the Old Testament He would come and go, but since the great moment at Pentecost, He doesn’t leave you once He comes in you. He’s there. You’re never alone. He never leaves you nor does He ever forsake you. God is with you.
The evidence that you have is that He is with you. But also listen to this:
2. God will lead you. He will lead you. Think about what God did for them. In the 13th chapter what do we talk about? Here they were, on their way to the ultimate destination of the Promised Land, and this is exactly what some of us wish we had. Boy I wish God would give me a pillar of cloud. Man I would just follow Him. Or I wish God would show up at nighttime and give me a pillar of fire. Wow, man I would just go wherever God wants me. Last night we had a pretty glaring moon, and you know, probably some people thought well I wonder if that’s there for me, and God is showing me something? Well, He’s showing you He can do what He wants to do with His creation. That’s pretty profound.
And uh, so with that you know if we just had those things, boy just think, boy what we could do! Listen, you have better than a pillar of cloud, you have better than a pillar of fire, I hold in my hand your roadmap! I hold in my hand your GPS system. God’s saying He wants to send you somewhere, do something great in your life, something more than what you’re seeing, I’m telling you you’re not going to get there without this book! You’ve got to saturate yourself and immerse yourself with the Word of God! Because God’s going to lead you by the book. He’s going to lead you by His Spirit.
Oh listen, He, He, He doesn’t come and go, are you getting it church? He doesn’t show up and then leave you. He’s with you. He is with you. It doesn’t matter what you’re facing, He is with you. The Spirit of God is leading you. But not only is God with you, and God will lead you, listen:
3. God will do miracles. God will do miracles. Some people say well miracles really can’t happen today. Well, I don’t agree with that. I believe miracles happen quite often. But you know what if you’re ever going to get where God wants you to go, you’re going to need a few miracles along the way. You’re not going to get there on your own. You’re going to need a few of those.
Well, what’s a miracle? Well a miracle is when God intervenes and makes something happen that would not happen normally. That’s what a miracle is. Did you get it? It’s when God intervenes and makes something happen that would not happen normally. That’s what every one of us need. We, we, we need that. We need God to intervene, and for God to show up and to do something for us that would not happen normally!
So what kind of miracles am I talking about? I’m talking about the same kind of miracles you read about in Exodus. What kind of miracles pastor? Here it is, miracles like:
1. Saving you from bondage. That’s exactly what He did with the Egyptians, or with the Israelites, He saved them from bondage. He crushed Pharaoh. He crushed all of those who were trying to stamp out the people and grind down the people those 400 plus years. And God put them in their place! And He freed them from their bondage! And He set them to freedom towards the Promised Land. Now listen, you have a greater bondage on your life than the Egyptians ever had. Today Egypt is trying to become a free nation. Today Libya is attempting to become a free nation. Major turmoil is happening in both of those countries of the world. I mean we’re living in a day and time when there are war and there rumors of wars. And we have to understand my dear friend that the greatest salvation we have is not salvation from a, from a government that is, that is, that is evil and wicked, but the greatest salvation we could have is from our sin that has kept us in bondage and destines us to hell, and you’ve got something greater than someone being set free from an evil political force, you have something much greater than that! And God is miraculously saved you from the bondage of your sin! And if He has never saved you from that sin, that’s why Jesus went to the cross to save you from the bondage of your sin. To bring to a point where you understand Christ is my Savior, Christ gave His all on the cross for me, and today I want to receive what He did for me.
Over the last couple of days I’ve been reading the book of Micah. Over in chapter 7, verse 19 of Micah he talks about how God crushes down his inequities and then he says God is going to take his sins and He’s going to cast them to the depths of the sea! You know where that happened? That happened at the cross of Jesus Christ. And friend that frees you from the worst bondage you could ever have in your life, the bondage of sin.
You say I’m way beyond that. No you’re not. Pastor if you only knew what I did. It doesn’t matter, God knows, He doesn’t care, He went to the cross because He loved you. He paid the price for every one of your sins, and you can be saved today. You can be set free from all of your bondage today.
He’s also about:
2. Delivering you from failure. He did that with them. Do you remember the story? Here they are, they finally get free. They look back over their shoulder and guess what happened? Here comes Pharaoh and his army. They press forward with great intensity, and guess what they had in front of them? They had a real problem. Do you know what that problem was? How do you get a million plus people across the Red Sea and survive? How do you do that? You can’t do it without a miracle, and God showed up, do you remember it? God parted, He rolled it back, depends on how you want to look at it; He rolled back the Red Sea.
And guess how the people journeyed over that sea? They journeyed over it in what? On dry ground. Listen very carefully, I’m not saying you will not fail from time to time, but when you’re out here in your life, and you’re trusting God, and you’re believing God, and God’s name’s at stake because you’re trying to get out on the edge for Him, He will be more likely to deliver you from chronic failure in your life. I believe with all of my heart today the reason God did the Red Sea was for one reason: to bring glory to His name, to bring glory to His name. Only God could roll back the sea. Moses couldn’t do it! A million or two million people couldn’t do it! All right let’s work on the sea! Everybody just get your hands and go …. It’s never going to end! No! But what did God do? God stepped in and He rolled it back, and they walked across dry ground on the other side, and then when they came after Him, what did they do? God said okay boys, got you where I want you and God put the sea back on them and destroyed them all.
Why? Because He’s King of kings, and Lord of lords. That’s why! The sea is at the command of the voice of God! He’s able to deliver you from chronic failure in your life. Don’t forget that.
He’s also about:
3. Providing your every need. When you’re on your journey to believing God for the impossible, and that’s where some of you are, you, you, even financially you made commitments last week. Hundreds of others will make those commitments this week, even today, and I don’t see how I’m going to get that done. That’s right. That’s believing God for the impossible. And guess what you’re going to have to have? You’re going to have to have provision for every need.
You know that’s what God did? He’s still doing that by the way. You know what kind of provision He gave them? Manna. How are you going to feed that many people? God’s got to get involved. Amen? How are you, how are that many people going to have something to drink? God’s got to get involved. And God provided water. And when Moses was limited in his leadership, do you know what Moses, do you know what Moses had show up? He had a father-in-law show up. His name was Jethro, not from Beverly Hills, no not that Jethro, but he had another, he had another father-in-law Jethro. And Jethro set down and talked to him about leadership, and he said son you’re going to kill yourself if you keep on leading like you’re leading. You’ve got to change your leadership style. You’ve got to bring more leaders along with you so that we can go and do what ultimately needs to be done.
Yes, He provides for every need. And listen to me very carefully; if He did it for them, He’ll do it for you. Don’t ever forget it. And I tell you what, there’s so many people today in America so down in the mouths, so feeling like they don’t get anything, everybody feels like they’re a victim. I mean it’s one psycho group, you know? And we need to grow up. You don’t think you have anything? Look what’s happened in Japan. I mean look at the newscast. Well I don’t like to look at news. It’s all bad. No, it’s not all bad, because there are people from all over the world sending them money and helping those poor people. So it’s not all bad. But I’m telling you there are people in desperate, desperate need. And I’m going to tell you folks, America you’ve been blessed enormously. You have been blessed generously.
I mean listen, what about you man? I mean you’ve got a job. Do you know how blessed you are to have a job? Anybody here gone without a meal? Some of you are going to go out here and leave this church service, and you’re going to go get yourself sick with gluttony in about 2 hours from now. You’re going to eat so much over the next hour, hour and a half, and that’s part of life! You’re blessed! But our God is able to provide for every need you have.
Let me tell you what else God will do, He’ll be:
4. Speaking to you along the way. I love talking about this because
that’s exactly what happens is that God speaks to you along the way. That’s what He did with them. He talked to them several times about, through Moses, and talked to them through various natural causes, and unbelievable events that took place from the water coming out of the rock, to the manna pouring down from heaven for 40 years and it would do it 6 days, and on Saturday, or excuse me, on Saturday, the day before the Sabbath, really it would be Friday, they would all of a sudden, they would all of a sudden hold up and God would give them 2 days worth on one day. Isn’t that amazing? So they wouldn’t have to work on the Sabbath Day. I mean that’s pretty big time God.
I mean God’s serious about this Sabbath deal. It’s a shame we’re not. So with all of that what we have to understand is that here we are of God speaking along the way. What do I mean by that? In Exodus chapter 20 God spoke to them. Do you know how He spoke to them? He gave them the Law of God! Boy I tell you what I could believe God if God would just speak to me. Boy I mean if God would just speak to me, I’d believe God, I’d do this, I would jump out of tall buildings if God would speak to me. I wouldn’t encourage that, but I tell you what I will encourage. God does speak to you if you’ll go to the right place. It’s called the Word of God. This is the greatest voice into your life today. He will speak to you.
He will speak to you through His Spirit. He will speak to you through other people. He will speak to you through prophets of God, and preachers of the Word of God, and I want to tell every one of us today, if we’re going to believe God for, for the impossible, here’s what it’s going to take! You can’t go there alone! You’ve got to have Jesus in your life. And you can’t go by there by yourself! You’ve got to have a church in your life to call you up, to encourage you when you get down. And you can’t go there in your own power. You’ve got to have the Holy Spirit with you! And you’re not going to get there without a few breaks along the way. No, not breaks, miracles. And that all begins when you say you know what, I believe God.
