The Wheelbarrow

Have you heard the Story about the Wheelbarrow?

Back in the 1880's there was this fearless tightrope walker, Clifford Calverley.

He could often be seen crossing Niagra Falls:

One day he made the crossing with a Wheelbarrow:







When he got to the other side and joined the cheering crowd, he shouted to them,

"Who among you had Faith that I could cross this falls with the wheelbarrow without falling?"

The crowd went wild with cheers.

"Who among you have Faith that I can cross these falls back to the other side with this wheelbarrow?"

Again, the crowd went wild with cheers.

Then Calverley asked, "Who wants to ride in the wheelbarrow?

The crowd went silent.


****


What happened to their faith?

They saw him cross without incident, they believed he could return without incident.

Yet no one would get in the wheelbarrow.

They said they had faith in him, but when tested they did not.

Do you have Faith in Jesus?

When you are tested will you "climb into that wheelbarrow"?

Bible Found in Tornado Debris Opened to Isaiah Chapter 32

During the Clean up in the Aftermath of that devastating Tornado in Moore, OK

A family found their Bible, opened to this Passage:

"Each one will be like a shelter from the wind and a refuge from the storm,

like streams of water in the desert 

and the shadow of a great rock in a parched land."

Isaiah 32:2

"Even if the forest should be destroyed and the city torn down,

the Lord will greatly bless his people." 

Isaiah 32:19-20

The Miracle that is Israel

Today Is the 65th Anniversary of the Nation Israel

May 14th, 2013 Posted in sermons

Against all odds, and in fulfillment of Bible prophecy, the Jewish people returned to their homeland after the devastation of WW2 and the Holocaust.
There, they reestablished their nation, which is a modern-day miracle!
So to all of our Jewish friends we say, “Happy anniversary!”

PS - I did a message on how the nation Israel fulfilled prophecy in today’s radio program.

I listen to Greg's radio posts every morning.  Today he talked about how miraculous it is that Israel even exists!     

In the days before Jesus was to be crucified, he gave this prophecy:   That the temple of Jerusalem would be destroyed and dismantled stone by stone and the Jewish people would be scatter across the Earth.    In 70 AD there was a big battle in Jerusalem and the Romans crushed them and they 
scattered.   

The Ceaser destroyed the temple and then set it on fire then remembered it was full of gold.  He wanted that gold, but it had melted into the stonework of the temple.  So he had it dismantled stone by stone to get all of the gold!

It is still this way today:

In prophecies related to the "End of Times" the bible said that the Jewish people would return to Israel.   And in 1948 they did, when the UN made Israel a Jewish state.   No other time in history has a people been scattered so far and wide then brought back together and returned to their homeland.   That is a miracle.

The fact that Israel still exists in my mind is a miracle.   See, it is a very tiny nation and it is surrounded by Islamic countries that seek to destroy Israel.    Look at this map-----that tiny blue spot is Israel, the yellow the Arab countries that hate her.

In 1967 there was the "Six Day War"  in which Israel had to defend herself against the Arab Nations and not only won the war in only 6 days, but expanded her territory!  (which is a source of great conflict even today)

If you are interested in End of Times Prophesies, 

Greg Laurie has a series of them that you can check on at Harvest.org.

There are other "End Time" Prophecies that seem to be "Brewing" in Current Events!

Don't Panic!  Prepare--Renew yourself In Christ!

Please Pray on this....

Hebrews 10:24-25 () 24 And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, 25 not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near. #Bible http://mydailybible.org/dv/esv/2013-05-13.htm
