Producing The Proof

Journey Into The Promised Land

Joshua 3:9–17 (CSB)

Then Joshua told the Israelites, “Come closer and listen to the words of the Lord your God.” 10 He said, “You will know that the living God is among you and that he will certainly dispossess before you the Canaanites, Hethites, Hivites, Perizzites, Girgashites, Amorites, and Jebusites 11 when the ark of the covenant of the Lord of the whole earth goes ahead of you into the Jordan. 12 Now choose twelve men from the tribes of Israel, one man for each tribe. 13 When the feet of the priests who carry the ark of the Lord, the Lord of the whole earth, come to rest in the Jordan’s water, its water will be cut off. The water flowing downstream will stand up in a mass.”

14 When the people broke camp to cross the Jordan, the priests carried the ark of the covenant ahead of the people. 15 Now the Jordan overflows its banks throughout the harvest season. But as soon as the priests carrying the ark reached the Jordan, their feet touched the water at its edge 16 and the water flowing downstream stood still, rising up in a mass that extended as far as Adam, a city next to Zarethan. The water flowing downstream into the Sea of the Arabah—the Dead Sea—was completely cut off, and the people crossed opposite Jericho. 17 The priests carrying the ark of the Lord’s covenant stood firmly on dry ground in the middle of the Jordan, while all Israel crossed on dry ground until the entire nation had finished crossing the Jordan.

God Is The Proof Producer

The Bible is filled with miracles…

  • They were not Moses’ miracles; they were God’s miracles.
  • They were not Peter’s miracles; they were God’s miracles.
  • They were not Paul’s miracles; they were God’s miracles.

You and I serve the God of miracles. The men and women of Bible times did just what God told them to do, and that is all you and I are supposed to do. Our only task is to obey God:

They (those who believe) shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. (Mark 16:18)

Just do what God tells you to do. God told us to anoint with oil and pray for the sick. Pray the prayer of faith with a heart that dares to believe that what God said will come to pass.

Is any sick among you? Let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him. (James 5:14-15)

Just obey God, that is all. Obey His Word and leave the results in His hands because it is up to Him, not you. You are not the miracle worker. I am not the miracle worker. God is the miracle worker.

When the children of Israel journeyed from Egypt to the promised land of Canaan, Joshua was not the miracle worker. Moses was not the miracle worker. God was the miracle worker Who led them, provided for them, and kept them through the perilous journey.

God told Joshua, “You get that Ark of the Covenant, you march it out into the River Jordan, and when the water gets up over the ankle bones of those priests, just watch Me. I will take My great big hand from heaven and I will roll back the River Jordan. I will hold it up on the other side until two million of you journey across and get into the Promised Land. Then I will let the flood tides loose.”

And as they that bare the ark were come unto Jordan, and the feet of the priests that bare the ark were dipped in the brim of the water, (for Jordan overfloweth all his banks all the time of harvest,) That the waters which came down from above stood and rose up upon an heap.. And the priests that bare the ark of the covenant of the Lord stood firm on dry ground in the midst of Jordan, and all the Israelites passed over on dry ground, until all the people were passed clean over Jordan. (Joshua 3:15-17)

When we are obedient to God and have acted on His Word, then it is up to Him. He is the real proof producer.

Make this declaration:

God is the real proof producer and He works through me to produce the proof.
