- 3:01building
- 3:02today other folks are going to leave

- 3:09threshold of a miracle they need in
- 3:11their life might be a financial Miracle
- 3:14might be a miracle in their home might

- 3:22have no doubt that God is going to work
- 3:24here today I feel it in the Holy Ghost
- 3:27you may be seated
- 3:34matter of fact these stones are here
- 3:35from the last time that I I preached
- 3:37this that that that that they were going
- 3:40to set these
- 3:45up that there was going to come a
- 3:47generation
- 3:49up there was going to come a generation
- 3:52that uh wasn't there in Egypt sister
- 3:56tripa they wasn't there they didn't see
- 3:58they didn't see the hand of God deliver
- 4:01them where hell Stones fell everywhere
- 4:04but in
- 4:05Goan there was Darkness everywhere but
- 4:08in Goan how God even came and severed
- 4:12between the cattle of the Egyptian and
- 4:14the cattle of the Hebrews and they were
- 4:18and the cattle of the Hebrews were
- 4:20spared how that all them noisome plagues
- 4:24that took
- 4:25place uh the children of God were spared
- 4:29them
- 4:30and the wicked had them then when God
- 4:34brought them through the Red
- 4:37Sea now what a what a
- 4:40what
- 4:46what know years ago CE so be de Mills
- 4:50made a movie called The 10
- 4:53Commandments and uh I hadn't been in
- 4:56church all my life so uh I remember
- 4:59seeing that and even even in the back of
- 5:01my mind today I can see
- 5:07that whatever was in his mind to have
- 5:09done that at the
- 5:14time standing there and children of
- 5:17Israel going through on dry ground and
- 5:19then their enemy coming behind them and
- 5:21God destroying their enemy and then you
- 5:24know they get they don't go very far and
- 5:27and and they're thirsty and water comes
- 5:30out of a rock not some little old stream
- 5:33there's somewhere between three to six
- 5:35million people there that God caused
- 5:38enough water to take care of them then
- 5:41uh uh daily he fed them with Mana and
- 5:46and and all the Miracles that he
- 5:48performed along the way then here
- 5:50they're going through Jordan River and
- 5:53all of those all the doubters and all
- 5:55the grumblers and all the complainers
- 5:58that we preached about a Wednesday night
- 6:01they're all gone they're all dead in the
- 6:03wilderness none of them are being
- 6:04allowed to go across now they're walking
- 6:07through on dry ground and and and
- 6:13uh uh God
- 6:15told uh Joshua to tell the priest to go
- 6:19stand in the middle of the
- 6:21river they stood on these 12 Stones as
- 6:25Israel passed over I don't know how long
- 6:26it would take them to pass over that
- 6:29great multitude passed over and the and
- 6:32the Bible said and they stood
- 6:35firm amen oh give Us Men that'll stand
- 6:39firm he stood firm and then he told him
- 6:42take those rocks you you stood
- 6:46on and pile them up here all 12 of these
- 6:50rocks because there's going to be a
- 6:53generation that's not going
- 6:56to they're not going to have been there
- 6:59all they're want to see is this big
- 7:01Memorial of stones that that is there
- 7:05that will tell what what God did and how
- 7:09God worked and and
- 7:12uh I want to have a a a story of Stone

- 10:09could always get a crew of folks go with
- 10:10me but I went by myself and I never will
- 10:13forget such trip driving up through
- 10:16there uh when I left the house my my gas
- 10:20tank was on empty when I left the house
