• 0:01
  Speaker 1: Most of us eat every day, some of us too much,
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: because yesterday's food is not enough to supply energy for
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: today's needs. Why then, do some of us expect yesterday's
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: portion of heavenly manna, the word of God to keep
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: us through today's challenges. On this program, we are going
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: to change all of that. Let's experience God's words today
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: and receive the power we need to live healthy, vibrant lives.

  Speaker 2: study series Lessons of Faith from Joshua, and our caption
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: for today is all came to Pass, All Came to Pass.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: We'll get into that in just a moment, but before
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: we do, I'd like to say welcome to everyone joining us,
• 1:06

• 1:29
  Speaker 2: ways that we continue to build faith and fellowship. Let's
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: go ahead and pray, and then we will get underway.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: Father and Heaven, thank you for giving us this new
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: day and for the privilege we have to serve you
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: and to do your will. Father, Please help us to
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: look forward to the fulfillment of all of the promises
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: that you have made to us. And if there's something
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: we are supposed to do, help us to do it
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: with all our heart. In Jesus' name, I pray, Amen
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: and Amen again. So the lesson writer opens up with
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: a question from Joshua chapter twenty one Versus forty three
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: to forty five. What picture does the book paint of God?
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: How do these words apply not only to the historical
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: promised land, but also to the reality of our salvation.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: So let's go ahead and read. And the Bible reads
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: in verse forty three, So the Lord gave to his
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: people all the land which he had sworn to give
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: to their fathers, and they took possession of it and
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: dwelt in it. Can I just say when God fulfills
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: his promises, he does it all the time. Yeah, he doesn't.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: He doesn't fulfill some promises and then welch on the others.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: You have to be seasoned like me to remember what
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: welch means. He doesn't turn his back on his promise.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: He doesn't reneg on his promises for some and then
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: keep promises for some other people. And so all of
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: these prophecies of the Old Testament give us an indication
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: of God's character, of his track record, of the way
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: that he treats with all of his promises. So if
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: he kept his promise to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, he
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: will keep his promise to you. Now, of course, the
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: people of God are benefiting from that covenant that God
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: made with Abraham as Abraham in particular, and so verse
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: forty four. The Lord gave them rest all around. Are
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: you looking forward to the complete completion of the rest
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: that comes through Christ? M He gave them rest all
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: around according to all that He had sworn to their fathers,
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: and not a man of all their enemies stood against them.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: You realize that the devil himself and all of his
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: evil angels, and those who unfortunately have chosen to side
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: with the enemy. Ultimately they will be no more. The
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: Bible writer says that the affliction will not rise a
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: second time. This is not going to happen again. So
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: all of those enemies stood against them. The Lord delivered
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: all their enemies into their hand Verse forty five. Not
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: a word failed of any good thing which the Lord
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: had spoken to his people. All came to pass. So
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: go ahead and type it in the chat. All came
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: to pass. I'm grateful. So since God did it for
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: his people, then since he did it throughout the centuries
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: in other cases for his people, he will do it again.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: And so our first lesson is God completes every promise
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: that he makes. The word for fail nefall, meaning to fall,
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: to drop, or to be undone. When it says that nothing,
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: nothing good that God has spoken shall fall. Nothing like that.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: None of that's going to happen. None of God's promises
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: fell to the ground. Every promise landed exactly where he intended.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: God's people's victories, the inheritance, the peace, were not their achievements.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: This is not something that they accomplish. It's not something
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: they could tick off of of a checklist. No, this
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: was the gift rooted in God's covenant faithfulness. So what
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: I want you to do, and we've said something like
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: this very recently, write down one promise from the scriptures
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: that you are claiming today. Pray daily God for your namesake,
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: Please don't let any of your words fall to the
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: ground in my life. My sister and friend Mignon Francois says,
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: and I call her boss Lady by the way she says,
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: speak what you seek until you see what you say.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: Speak what you seek until you see what you've said.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: And if you are speaking the words of God, seeking
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: according to the way that God has manifested the scriptures,
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: then you will in fact see what your mouth has said.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: We're is confessing. We're confessing, we're agreeing with God. Lessen.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: Number two, God saves us by his faithfulness, not because
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: of our strength, our beauty, our own faithfulness. It's because
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: of His great love, because of his faithfulness, and his
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: mercies fail not. And this is coming in from Ephesians
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: chapter two, verses eight and nine. Somebody just heard what
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: I said, for by faith? Are ye saved by grace?
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: Excuse me? Are ye saved through faith? And that not
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: of yourselves. It is the gift of God, not of works,
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: lest any man should boast. And so this word for grace,
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: this word for grace cais meaning unearned favor. Just as
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: God's people could take zero credit for the land, zero
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: credit for all of the victories, believers can take zero
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: credit for our salvation. I used to ask when I
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: taught publicly all the time, like week after week I
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: would teach publicly, would and I would ask the people
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: of God, like, what part do you play in your salvation?
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: And people would like, oh, get stumped because they're looking
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: for a way to take ownership. Of course we do
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: need to respond to God. Of course we cooperate with God.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: But of course it was a trick question. I wanted
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: people to understand the very passage that we just spoke,
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: we take zero credit for our salvation. God's faithfulness, not
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: human effort, is the basis of redemption. The Cross is
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: the ultimate all came to pass where every promise of
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: mercy is found, has found its fulfillment in Christ. So
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: we surrender our will to God. But you realize that
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: he's the one that gives us both to will and
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: to do of his good pleasure. Yes, we are, and
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: it's enjoined upon us to love God with everything we
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: have and everything we are. But the Bible says, we
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: love him because He first loved us. So he's the
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: cause of our ability to love him. We're supposed to
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: have faith. Well, he's the author and finisher of our faith,
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: and I can go down through. We are to be
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: obedient to the law of God one hundred percent of
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: the time. The Bible says that he became obedient. He
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: became obedient the righteous requirements of the law needed to
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: could not be fulfilled in us without him in Romans
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: chapter eight, right, and so he condemns it in the flesh,
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: the Bible says, in order that the righteousness of the
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: law might be fulfilled in us who walk not according
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: to the flesh, but cording to the spirit. So literally,
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: everything God requires of us, he first gives to us.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: So stop striving to earn God's approval. Rest in his grace,
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: knowing salvation is a gift and not an achievement. Our
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: final lesson is God's future promises are certain because fast
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: his past faithfulness is proven. I think we've already made
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: that case. And so each morning, each morning repeat God
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: is faithful I do that often. He will carry me
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: through today. Let this truth shape your outlook. Make it
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: a great day, and all all of God's promises will
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: come to pass. Peace.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us listening. Friends. Always remember we cannot
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: live by bread alone, but by every word that comes
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: from the mouth of God. This has been your daily
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: portion with El David Harris. Make it a great day. Yeah.
