Is God capable of fulfilling the promise that was given to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob? Is it possible that God could fulfill the promise to Abraham and Isaac that they were told by the Lord that they would have a son? Is there any doubt in their minds that God is capable of doing so? Or is there doubt in the hearts of the people of Israel that God will fulfill this promise?

00:00:00 All right, listen, guys, I get it.
00:00:01 Many of you are unable to financially support this ministry because you're spending your
00:00:05 cash and your lives on raising young children in the fear and admonition of the Lord.
00:00:10 Praise God for you and that endeavor.
00:00:13 However, algorithms are a thing.
00:00:16 Shadow banning, sadly, is a thing.
00:00:19 And one major way that you can help to expand the reach and effectiveness of this ministry
00:00:24 that doesn't cost you a dime is by spending just a few moments leaving us a five-star
00:00:29 review. Also, perhaps even more effective than that, you can share our podcast with a friend.
00:00:36 We hope you'll take the time to do so. Thank you so much. God bless.
00:00:42 Jesus said, man cannot live on bread alone, but from every word that proceeds from the mouth of
00:00:47 God. You're listening to Daily Truth. Joshua is not sending the spies to see whether or not Jericho
00:00:57 is weak enough for god to actually make good on his promise now rather he's sending the spies to
00:01:04 see to see what the means will be that god utilizes to bring about his promised end joshua is trusting 0.72
00:01:12 that the end result is that jericho will be conquered but joshua is sending spies into the
00:01:18 land to detect the practical means by which this will come about what are the particular weak points
00:01:25 of this city of jericho how are we going to conquer it not if we'll conquer it god has promised that
00:01:32 we trust his promise but we want to see how it's going to be conquered and so joshua sends these
00:01:37 spies secretly not secretly in regards to the inhabitants of jericho hence the fact that
00:01:44 they're spies that's assumed but he's secretly sending them out in regards to the knowledge
00:01:50 of israel he doesn't want israel to be aware that joshua is sending spies out to detect weak points
00:01:58 points of vulnerability with their enemies at jericho because he doesn't want that action to
00:02:05 be interpreted by his own people by the people of israel as distrust in the covenant promises of god
00:02:12 now the reason you might wonder why is he sending the spies out at all god's going to come through
00:02:19 with his promise well that's because you know the end of the story all right this is one of the most
00:02:24 commonly known stories in the whole of scripture all right we before phil visher went woke you
00:02:30 know he got veggie tales right the people at jericho you know and the walls come down i mean
00:02:35 every child even children not raised in a christian family are probably aware of the walls of jericho
00:02:43 crumbling but joshua and israel weren't not at this moment so they're not doubting joshua is
00:02:50 not doubting whether or not god will fulfill his promise he's asking how this is similar to the
00:02:56 virgin mary right there are instances where god gave a promise right perhaps he even sent an angel
00:03:03 and the person did not believe the promise and there was a judgment for their unbelief
00:03:10 think of zachariah zachariah who is serving as a priest that he goes into the holy of holies to
00:03:18 perform his priestly duty and it is spoken to him by the lord through a messenger that he's going to
00:03:26 have a son and that this son is going to pave the way make straight the path level every mountain
00:03:33 raise every valley for the messiah that he's going to have a son namely john the baptist who would be
00:03:39 a forerunner of jesus and zachariah questions this in unbelief now listen here's the distinction
00:03:46 not unbelief in how god could bring this about in terms of what god's means will be in fulfilling
00:03:53 the promise but zachariah actually doubts god's ability to fulfill the promise at all and so he's
00:04:02 stricken with muteness he becomes dumb and unable to speak dumb in the proper sense he's unable to
00:04:09 speak until the birth of the child now mary on the other hand by way of contrast the same kind 0.93
00:04:17 of event happens for her where an angel comes and says blessed are you this is what the lord is
00:04:24 going to do for you that you will conceive by the holy spirit the spirit will come upon you
00:04:29 and you will conceive a son and his his name shall be jesus and and she receives this message
00:04:37 Her response is not, I don't see how God could pull this off in terms of the how referencing.
00:04:46 I don't know how this is possible, a.k.a. I don't know if God can do it.
00:04:51 No, her question of how has to do with not is God capable of the end of his promise,
00:04:58 fulfilling the end of his promise, but her question of how is in regards to
00:05:02 what particular means will he use to bring about the end of his promise mary is not doubting whether
00:05:09 or not god can pull it off when she asks how can this be she's literally asking she's not saying
00:05:15 it cannot be or i don't think it can be she's saying essentially it will be because the lord
00:05:21 has spoken but i'm a virgin and practically from just a scientific perspective here i'm just
00:05:29 wondering how that's going to work. Right? That's very different than Zachariah. That's very different
00:05:36 than other individuals. It's different than Sarah, Abraham's wife, who laughs. She laughs at the
00:05:44 promise that she would bear a son in her old age. That wasn't, I don't know how God can bring this
00:05:51 about, but I'm sure he will. That was, I'm doubting whether or not he can bring this about. That's
00:05:58 the difference and so from the very first verse of our text joshua i do not believe is doubting
00:06:04 the promise of god in terms of the end result jericho will be conquered the land of canaan
00:06:10 will be given as a promise to god's people as an inheritance but rather he's sending out these two
00:06:17 spies because he knows god's going to bring it about but he doesn't know what means by which
00:06:23 god will bring it about can i be frank with you for just a second right here at the end
00:06:27 look some of you guys you're financially supporting this ministry and from the bottom of my heart i
00:06:32 say thank you i cannot thank you enough however some of you you just you can't afford it in fact
00:06:41 some of you you shouldn't afford it let's be honest i mean we're living in joe biden's ridiculous
00:06:47 economy our nation and our totalitarian political elites lost their minds over the last three years
00:06:56 due to COVID. We have written checks that we simply cannot cash. It doesn't matter if people
00:07:03 change the definition of a recession. We are living in a recession right now regardless.
00:07:10 Some of you are struggling to afford a carton of eggs at the grocery store. You cannot support
00:07:16 financially this ministry at this time, nor should you, but you could still help us tremendously.
00:07:23 I am asking you, please, if you're willing to do so, take one minute of your time.
