God Won't Fail: Joshua's Promise Fulfilled 0:00 Here's my message. God can't fail. Yeah. Amen. Well, I've seen about that, and we all know that. The problem for us is not wondering,0:12 can God fail? We all know God can't fail. Tonight, the new title I might get another 1. The new title is God Won't Fail.0:24 Because you and I do not battle whether or not God can. Any god that can make the sun, the moon, and the stars, he can. For all of us, we battle0:37 will he. That's what I wanna help you with tonight. It's not enough for us to believe God can't. You do understand even the demons of hell know God0:49 can't. Those that are walked by faith must realize God won't. To the pastor here tonight, God can't fail you.1:00 That's not enough, boys. We've gotta walk in this world knowing God won't. To the 1 holding on to a promise and you don't have it in your hands yet, you don't possess the1:12 fullness, we know God can't. But I'm here to tell you, he won't. Now tonight, I'm not gonna preach to you. I'm gonna preach with1:24 you. Because tonight, I am walking in a valley just like you're walking in a valley. You say, what's your valley? That ain't none of your business. Just like I didn't ask what your1:36 valley was when you walked in, but I am reminded of 1 truth. God can't fail me. God won't fail me. Yeah. And I'll shout on that tonight. Come on,1:48 brother. The book of Joshua tonight, chapter number 21, and I want you to look in verse number 43, verse 44, and verse 45.2:00 Joshua 21 verse number 43. The bible says, and the Lord gave unto Israel all the land which he sware to give unto their2:12 fathers, and they possessed it and dwelt therein. And the Lord gave them rest round about, according to all He sware unto2:24 their fathers. And there stood not a man of all their enemies before them. The lord delivered, how many? All their enemies into their hands.2:36 Here's my thought. Verse 45. There failed not all of any good thing which the Lord had2:48 spoken under the house of Israel. All came to pass. If you underline in your Bible, underline verse 45,2:59 there failed not ought. In the King James, that phrasing, there failed not ought. I'll give it to you in the King3:11 Tyler version. You ready? Here's what it means in the redneck version. Er, bit of it happened just like God said. Everything,3:23 every line, every promise, every thought, every mindset, everything, God determined, it happened just like he said. Brothers and3:35 sisters, when you enter into Joshua chapter number 21, it is important to remember you are entering the end of the story of brother Joshua. Bible tells us3:47 he's an old man when verse number 45 is written. He's fought all the battles he's gonna fight. His sword has been laid down, and he's picked up a walking stick.3:59 The heart that used to hold a warrior's mind now holds a sage's wisdom. The mind that used to be wrapped around how to conquer lands that he did not4:11 have is now wrapped around a God that did it. Brothers and sisters, it's very easy at the end of the story to look back and say, everything4:23 God said, he brought it to pass. But brothers and sisters, I'm not looking at people right now that are at the end of their story. I'm looking at people right now that are4:35 smack dab in the middle of their story. You see, if you and I were smack dab in the middle of the life of brother Joshua, we would have to look back at him as he's at the city4:47 gate of that little town called Ai when God had let defeat come into their life, and he wondered, God, what have I done wrong? It was in that moment that he4:58 wondered, God, can you fail me? God, I know you can't fail me, but it sure looks like you're going to fail me. Brothers and sisters, if you and I were allowed to live our entire lives5:10 together, and we were all able to be gathered around 1 another's death bed, we would look up off of that bed, and we would look and say, our God brought us through every valley. Our God let us5:22 walk through and around and over every mountain. There was not 1 thing that God did in our lives that he failed us in. But brothers and sisters, there are no death beds in this room5:34 right now. Every single 1 of us are right in the middle of our mess. We're right in the middle of our problem. We're right in the middle of our uncertain don't look at me like you don't think I know what I'm talking5:46 about. I'm looking at people tonight. I didn't come out of this. I know what it's like to live in a house where you're doing everything you can to make ends meet. I know what it's like listening to a mama5:58 and a daddy have the discussions about how in the world are we gonna pay for this and do that. I know what it's like having teenagers in your house, and you say, God, what are you doing in my life? I'm at6:10 church on Sunday morning. I'm at church on Wednesday night. I'm at church on Friday night. But yet, Lord, I don't know what's happening with my children. I I don't know what's happening in my marriage. I don't know6:21 what's happening in my life. Brothers and sisters, those are the people that I'm talking to tonight, and I've come to remind you, not only our God can't fail you, but our God6:32 won't fail you. I don't know what you're battling. I don't know what you've been carrying since January the first, but I'm just about sick and tired of being sick and tired of getting to the end of January, and can't6:44 wait for the next year to start because it's already been a worse year than the year that I had before me. Ladies and gentlemen, what we're dealing with in these last days is a cascading of problems.6:56 It is a cascading of issues. Do you know why you're dealing with what you're dealing with? Because the devil knows, if I can take faith out of your heart, I will take hope out of your mind. And if7:08 I can take hope out of your mind, I will break the chain of faith in your family genealogy. Some of you did not have a church going mama and daddy, but the Holy Ghost got a hold of your life7:20 and your children in the house of God because of what God's doing in your life. So who do you think the devil's gonna go after? He's not gonna go after that generation before you. He's a going after you. Because if7:32 he can get in your heart, and he can get in your mind, and he can get in your house, he's got your children right where he wants them. So I've come to look you in the eyeballs, plan on both of my 10 and a half, and say7:43 not just that God won't fail you. I'm telling you right now, they in a shadow of a doubt way that the good God of eternity is gonna lose his reputation on your7:55 stuff. You see, God, he did not fail Moses, and he did not fail David, and he did not fail Elijah, and he did not fail Elijah, and he did not fail Noah, and he did not fail8:07 Adam, and he did not fail John the Baptist, and he did not fail Peter, and he did not fail Paul, and he did not fail John, he did not fail Thomas, he did not fail Ignatius, he8:18 did not fail Polycarp, he did not fail Jerome, he did not fail Spurgeon, and he did not fail Billy Graham, he did not fail Criswell, and he did not fail Adrian Rogers, he did8:30 not fail Jerry Vines, and he did not fail Billy Smith, He did not fail Bob Pittman, and he did not fail brother Kara Blacker, and the same God that was with him. He's with old Tyler Golden,8:42 and he's with old Josh Westmoreland. And I remind you right now, the God that was, he still is. And he can't fail, and he won't fail. I've come to tell you tonight, he can't fail, and8:54 he won't fail. I've come to tell a mama tonight, he can't fail, and he won't fail. I've come to tell a daddy tonight, he can't fail, and he won't fail. I've come to tell somebody, he can't9:06 fail and he won't fail. I've come to tell some teenager, he can't fail and he won't fail. I've come to tell some college kid that's in a liberal classroom, being beat to death by some9:18 liberal professor that don't know their head from a hole in the ground. He can't fail and he won't fail. He's the God of Abraham and he's the God of Isaac and he's the God of Jacob and he's the God and9:30 father of our Lord Jesus Christ. And he's God and he can't fail, and he's God and he won't fail. I got 5 lessons. I may only get to 3 because number 2 is really good. So write them down. I'm gonna take9:42 them right out of verse number 44 and verse number 45. Number 1, the first lesson I want you to remember in the fact that God can't fail, and God won't fail. Number 1, writeLesson 1: Fulfillment Even If Unseen 9:53 this down. God will fulfill everything, even if I don't see it. God will fulfill10:06 everything even if I don't see it. Where do I get that? Well, look if you will in verse number 43. Remember what I read in verse number 43. And the10:18 Lord gave unto Israel all the land which he swear to give unto their fathers. Now, that's a wonderful verse, isn't it?10:30 We got a problem, baby. Because if you flip over just a couple of pages to the book of Judges, chapter number 3, and if you looked in the book of Judges10:42 just a couple of pages away in chapter 3 and in verse number 1 down through verse number 4, do you know what your Bible's gonna tell you?10:54 That God left the enemies of Israel in the land to prove them. Now, wait a second.11:06 1 of 2 truths is a reality. Either a, the Bible ain't right, or number 2, we are missing something. Well, I can go ahead and just tell you right now. It ain't number 1,11:18 child. It's got to be number 2. How in the world can god give them the land? Yet, Judges chapter 4 says that there are still enemies in the land. Do you11:30 know how? Here is how. Because God gave them something even though they did not have full possession of it at the moment.11:43 Time out. When I turned Troy, I think I was I I told this story 1 time. Y'all can imagine what I'm like when I don't take my medication.11:55 Am I right about it? I've had a bottle today. And by the way, I have figured out how to sleep good at night. I do not take pills to sleep. I don't do well, but I have figured out, if you drink a12:07 half a bottle of Zequil, you'll do pretty good. It is non habit forming. It says it on the bottom. When I was 10 years old,12:19 my daddy gave me a single shot 20 gauge shotgun. Can you imagine me at12:31 10 years old with a single shot, 20 gauge shotgun? When I got that thing Listen, I got guns12:43 at the yin yang. If you're a liberal, you're gonna be mighty uncomfortable before this story is over with. My father got me a single12:55 shot, 20 gauge shotgun. Gave it to me on Christmas morning. It was wrapped up. You know that boy, Ralphie?13:11 I was the North Carolina version of Ralphie. Big problem though. I wasn't shooting b b's. Well, I guess I was, but she was encased in a buckshot.13:23 But anyways, it's what my father said. My daddy gave me that gun. It was in the box. I still have that gun in my safe. My daddy gave me that gun. This is what he says.13:35 Son, I'm giving this to you, but you can't use it yet.13:49 Daddy, what do you mean I can't use that thing? I can go target shooting. Now we lived in a subdivision, but nevertheless daddy, I can go target son, I gave it to14:00 you to show you what you can have. Now it's yours, but I'm only gonna let you use it when you're ready. That's right.14:13 I was 10 years old when I got that gun. I don't remember the first time I shot that gun, but I can tell you this. Every day,14:25 I woke up thinking about that gun. It was not fully in my grips, but it belonged to me. My father had14:37 given me something even though I was not fully able to have it yet. Now, brothers and sisters, that's probably not the most well rounded story altogether, but14:49 here's what I'm telling you. The Bible declares that when the Lord Jesus had been out of that grave for 40 days, he takes his disciples with him up to the Mount of15:00 Olives. They ascend and they go up on the eastern slope facing out toward Bethany. As he goes out, he looks at his disciples and he looks up into the15:12 clouds. Our lord reaches up into the clouds and he grabs a cloud, and he wraps it around him. He double clutches it. And as he begins to ascend and reverse the laws of15:24 gravity, he's got 1 more thing that he wants to tell to his disciples. He could have said anything. He could have said, now children, remember in the beginning, God created the heavens and15:36 but that's not what he said. He could have said, now remember the Lord is your shepherd and you shout, but that is not what he said. Before the loving lamb of God, the resurrected Christ, the almighty15:48 redeemer, the royal regal redeeming Christ, before he ascended up, he made this statement in Matthew chapter number 28, verse number 19 and verse number15:59 20. He said, all power is given unto me in heaven and in earth, and lo, I am with you always. Here's what16:11 I'm trying to tell you. God has made a promise in your life, and you may look at it and you say, God, how are you gonna save my children? They seem further away than they've ever been. God,16:23 how are you gonna rescue that situation? It seems further away than it's ever been. And if you're not careful, you'll let the timing of that thing take the faith out of your heart and out of16:35 your head. At the end of the day, time means nothing to God, timing means everything to God. And here's what I'm telling you, I may not have it in my hands, you may not have it in your16:47 hands right now, but if God told you you were gonna have it, you can mark it down, baby doll. It's as good as yours even though it is not in your possession right now. You say, but does God16:59 have the authority to give me that thing? My God, remember what he said. He said, all power, not some power, not a little power, not as many pieces of power that I can handle. He said,17:11 all power, every drip drop of power, every licking piece of power, everything piece of power, every every every every every thing piece of power that ever has been, it was given to the lord Jesus17:23 at his resurrection. And tonight, you may not have it in your hands. You may not have the fulfillment of that promise in your hands, but it is as good as yours. You can put it down in shoe leather and start shouting on17:34 credit. Here's what I remind you of. The God that promised you, he can't fail you. He won't fail you. Get your mind off of the timeline, and get your mind on the God17:46 that brings it to pass. Can I ask you a question? Doctor Stanley said something 1 time I've never forgotten.17:59 He said, do you want what you want, or do you want God's best? Because sometimes, God's best18:11 takes time to cook. I can tell there's some diabetics in this room. Let me talk to some diabetics right now. How many fat18:23 people love pound cake? Oh, my. My god, I love a pound cake. I love everything about a pound cake. I love the smell of a pound cake. Sister Dixie, do you18:35 cook? My wife doesn't, Joshua. I'm telling you right now, my wife don't My wife looked at me 1 time, she said, I make reservations, and that's the only thing. She been true to her word, child.18:48 But my mama can make a pound cake, Troy. My mama can make a pound cake. When when your mama makes a pound cake because19:00 I imagine there ain't many women in this room under the age of 50 that know how to make a pound cake. And if you do, it's because you bought it at the grocery store and you put it on your Tupperware acting like it was19:10 your pound cake. And let me tell you, a professional pound cake taster like this whole boy right here, I can tell. Don't you try to fool me. I can tell.19:23 What's that talking about? Oh, yeah. My mama, when your mama makes a cake, if your mama really loves you, if you're19:35 good, you know what she lets you do? Lick the beaters. If she don't love you, she still lets you lick the beaters, but they're moving when you do it.19:46 But Am I the only person that when mama19:58 lets you lick the beater, it made you so impatient for the finished product? My mama would put that cake in there, and I have no idea how20:10 long a pound cake is supposed to cook. But I can tell you, it's far too long when you have tasted just a little bit. When20:22 you got just a taste of what was awaiting at the end, and I'd stick my little pudgy nose up against that GE oven,20:35 And mama turned that light on. And I'd say, mama, can you get it out yet? She say, it ain't ready. Mama, can you get it out? It ain't ready.20:47 I say, mama, can you get it out yet? Son, it ain't ready. I'd look in there, and every now and again, I'd open the door. And it's what I'd say,20:59 mama, it looks ready. And she'd say, son, it may look ready, but what's on the inside Come on,21:11 man. Ain't finished cooking yet. Yeah. You see, you and I have got very shallow eyes. We see the situation. We see the person. We see the thing, and we say, god,21:23 it looks ready. God, I'm ready. And god says, I see beyond what you see. I see the the the thing beneath the surface. And I'm telling you, I will get it out when21:35 it's ready. And I'm gonna tell you what I do. If you've ever had a redneck mama and you corrected a pound cake cooking redneck mama, you didn't do it but 1 time and you didn't get to taste the beater ever again, say amen21:45 right there. Here's what I'd say, mama, that thing looks like it's getting too done. It looks like it's gonna get dry. She said, you shut your mouth. I ain't never made a dry pound cake. I said, now, mama, how do you21:57 know? She said, because the hey. The ingredients that I put in that thing, it can withstand the pressure. It can withstand the heat. And I'm telling you, even though it looked beyond my ability, it looked beyond22:09 my thoughts, she pulled that thing out. And then I'd say, oh my god, mama. Would you please just get that knife out? She said, no. You gotta let it cool a little bit. I said, what kind of torture chamber are you running22:21 in Guilford County, North Carolina? You let a boy taste the beater, and then you stick that cake in there for 45 minutes or however long, and then you tell him it's not ready. It's not ready. It's not ready. Okay. It's22:31 ready. Now get it out. It's too hot to eat. She said if you touch that with your tongue right now, she said, it'll burn your tongue, and it'll take a layer off of your tongue. And while you may in see the rest of that,22:42 you won't be able to enjoy the rest of that cake. She said, if you'll just trust me, I'll give you a piece when you're ready, and I'll give you a piece when it's ready. I tell you right now, the chief22:54 baker in heaven is the almighty, omnipotent, ever knowing, everlasting God. He knows when I'm ready. He knows when you're ready. He knows when it's ready. If you'll just put it in his hands, you'll realize23:06 he can't fail and he won't fail. Number 2, second lesson. Write this down. And I think this gonna help some child of God because it helps me. Number 2,Lesson 2: Battles Build Faith for Others 23:18 there will be a fight, so don't get discouraged. There will be a fight, so don't be discouraged. Watch what23:30 it says in your scripture in verse number 44. And the lord gave them rest round about according to all that he swear to their fathers, and there stood not a man23:42 all of all their enemies before them. Watch this. The Lord delivered all their enemies into their23:54 hands. I imagine that when brother Moses and brother Joshua came to the Red Sea, and the God of heaven looked at him and said, stand still and see the salvation24:07 of the Lord. And there's they stood. They never raised a sword. They never raised their voice. And sun, the Red Sea congealed up on 1 side and congealed up on another side. And before they knew it, the24:19 wind of heaven came and dried that ground. I imagine as they marched across and got to the other side of the sunny banks of sweet deliverance, and that water came down and killed Pharaoh and killed all the armies. I bet24:30 they thought, boy, this is sure gonna be easy, conquering the Canaan land. I bet we ain't even gonna have to swing a sword. We're not gonna have any battles. We're not gonna have any trouble. And, man, they got there to24:42 the the the river Jordan. And Joshua looks, and he says, well, I don't know where Moses is. And before they knew it, man, they get there, and the Bible says that up at the city of Adam, the water started drying up. I24:53 believe Joshua said, my god. He's gonna do this just like he did back there. And they cross over. And when they get over there, there's the city of Jericho. I imagine he probably looked at them and said, now wait a25:05 second, children. Don't move a muscle. Don't say a thing. We're gonna stand right here, and we're gonna see the mighty walls of Jericho start falling. And in Joshua chapter number 5, all of a sudden, in the25:17 middle of the night, there is the captain of the Lord's host, and he's got a sword in his hand. And of the Lord's host, and he's got a sword in his hand. And Joshua gets terrified, and he says, are you for us, or are you25:26 for our enemy? And he says, I ain't for you, and I ain't for your enemy. I'm for the captain of the Lord's host. I serve the God of heaven, and the God of angel armies is about to knock those walls. I bet Joshua said,25:38 oh, yes, boys. Don't even raise your swords. We're not gonna have to do a thing in this battle. And before they knew it, that next morning, the angel of God woke up brother Joshua, and he said, Joshua, this is how you're25:50 gonna conquer the promise. I bet Joshua said, don't worry about an angel. I've already seen how God's gonna deliver. We're not gonna have to raise our sword. We're not gonna have to raise our shield. We're not gonna have26:00 to say a word. We're gonna stand right here and stand still and see the salvation of the Lord. The angel said, not so fast, hot shot. Here's what I want you to26:12 do. I want you to start marching around the walls for 6 days 1 time and don't say a word. Joshua Puff said, That ain't26:24 how you did it last time, but okay. So they go around and they start marching. On the seventh day, brother Joshua, is what you're gonna do? He26:35 said, I want you to march 7 times on the seventh day. And on the seventh time, get the trumpeters and you all shout. And when you shout,26:48 the walls are gonna come tumbling down. And when the walls come tumbling down, pick up your sword and march inside the walls and kill everybody you see in sight26:59 except for Rahab the heart. Joshua probably said, wait a second, lord. You mean we're gonna actually have to do something? He said, oh, yeah. What'd you think? I was just gonna give you every victory, and I was just27:10 gonna knock down every wall, and you're not he said, no. He said, you're gonna have to swing your sword. You're gonna have to fight your battle, and there's gonna be times you think you're gonna lose. But here's what27:21 you're gonna find when you're on the side of the God of angel armies, even when you fight, even when it looks like you're gonna lose, I will give you the victory every time. Let's apply that to our modern27:32 day. How many of you remember when you got saved? Whether it was at an altar, whether it was in your bedroom, whether it was riding down the road, whether you were in prison, whether you were in the hospital. It doesn't27:41 matter where you were, and you knew that day, you'd asked Jesus to be your savior, and he wrote your name in the lamb's book of life. Son, the guilt of sin washed off of your life, and the peace of God hit your heart,27:53 and you knew heaven was your home, you knew God was your father, you knew Jesus was your elder brother, you knew you were on your way to a city who had not a foundation made with hands, whose builder maker was God, and28:05 you thought everything was gonna be great, you thought everything was gonna be easy, you thought they'd never be trouble, you thought you'd never have trials, and then life happened. Yeah.28:17 And what happens when life happens? God? Come on, brother. Did I miss it? God, are you mad at me?28:29 God, I thought when I prayed that prayer 1 time, that wall was gonna fall. But, God, I just keep on praying and nothing happens. And what happens is28:41 the presence of struggle discourages your heart. But here's what you need to remember. Just because you're battling28:53 does not mean you're going to lose. Yeah. Have you ever thought the battle's not about you? It's about the people that haven't seen what you've29:05 seen. Beloved, you do realize that the reason Joshua had to walk around 7 times and then on the seventh day, he walked around 7 more times, it wasn't for Joshua. Joshua never29:17 1 time doubted. There was a bunch of 19 year olds and 20 year olds that had only heard stories about the god that29:29 splits the water. But on that day, I imagine some 19 or 20 year old kids walking around the wall saying, what in the world are we doing?29:42 And I imagine 1 of them old gray heads who'd come out of the wilderness, maybe brother Caleb, maybe brother Joshua, said, I'll tell you what, this may seem29:54 uncouth, but it ain't near as uncouth as standing on the banks of a of a body of water that you cannot get across and hear the thunder clap of chariot wheels behind you30:07 and just stand there, and all of a sudden the water parts. But I'm telling you, the God that did that back there is the God that'll give us the victory right here. I know some of you gray heads, you've got to this30:19 point in your life, and you're saying, brother Tyler, I'm tired of praying. I'm tired of fighting. I'm tired of the battle. I'm tired of the discouragement. I'm tired of the weariness. God, when are you gonna let me30:30 maybe God is not letting you battle, so you know how to battle. You know how to battle. He's letting you go through it because there's some little set of eyeballs somewhere in a congregation that has heard30:42 about the God of angel armies and has heard that there is a God that can do exceedingly, abundantly above all that you could ever ask or think, but they don't have the faith to believe. They30:54 don't have the faith to battle. And here, the devil's got you discouraged, and he's got you beat down. I've come to remind you, I don't care if you're gray headed. I don't care if you're brown headed. I don't care if31:04 you're bald headed. There is a God in heaven. He cannot fail. He will not fail. You just remember this. It may be a struggle in your marriage. You just keep on pressing forward and believing God. It31:16 may be a struggle in your faith. You just keep on pressing forward and believing God, because it may not be about you. It may be about somebody. My wife and I are going through something right now. And brothers and31:28 sisters, if I told you, you'd say, brother Tyler, we're going through the same thing. And I said, God, why are we battling this? Why is this in our thoughts? Why is this in our minds? And then I'm reminded, there's a31:40 little 15 year old boy in my house, and there's a little 12 year old girl in my house, and there's children in our church, and teenagers in our church, and college kids in our church, and they've not seen God move31:51 mountains before. And today, I'm finding my struggle may not be about me, but it may be about them that they might see the mighty power of God. They might see the mighty miracle of God. Why32:03 would God let a little child come down with cancer, and walk through 2 years of torrential treatment, heartbreaking treatment, and now he lets them ring a bell.
