The All-Inclusive Promises of God

would be a big miracle, too, that Pharaoh and his whole army drowned in ankle-deep water.
What I’m saying is, all of these so-called experts are trying to explain away the supernatural
element of it because they are unbelievers. They are not believers, and if you don’t believe in
miracles, then you just don’t believe in God. Some say, “Oh, no, I believe in God, but I don’t
believe in miracles.” The Bible says that devils believe in God and tremble, and it does them no
good. (James 2:19) No. There are some things you just can’t explain, but you can believe them.
You can believe them even if you don’t understand them. I believe that happened just like the
Bible said.
I believe clothes and shoes did not wear out for 40 years. (Deuteronomy 2:7) I believe in
miracles. I believe bread can fall out of the sky every morning and feed millions. (Exodus
16:14,15) I believe water can come out of a rock, just gush out and hydrate millions of people
and all of their livestock. (Exodus 17:6) I believe bitter waters can be made sweet. (Exodus
15:25) I believe a dry stick can bud and blossom and produce almonds overnight, with nothing
on either end. (Numbers 17:8) I believe in miracles; how about you? I believe in the God of
miracles. I believe He can do it. I believe a donkey can speak. (Numbers 22:28) I believe people
can shout and walls around a city fall down flat. (Joshua 6:5) I believe in miracles.
The people who tell you that what you need can’t happen don’t believe in these miracles either,
which means they don’t believe in the Bible. They don’t believe in God.
I believe a man could pray and call on God, and the sun and moon would stand still for a whole
day. (Joshua 10:12) Now, you know this was before there were any satellites and any pictures of
the solar system. He did not know what he was asking, did he? This is wonderful. You don’t
have to know what you’re asking. If there ever was, this might have been a good time for God to
say, “Now, Joshua, you don’t know what you’re asking, because I know you haven’t found this
out yet, and you still have people believing the earth is flat, but there are some giant bodies
rotating around each other at incredible speeds, and you don’t just stop one of them.”
Consider an automobile engine, for example. When you have an automobile engine that’s
spinning at five or six thousand R.P.M.’s, you don’t just stop one of the pistons and let the other
ones go. What would that be? If you stopped one of the pistons and the other seven just kept
spinning, it would be a miracle.
Well, what God did was a much bigger miracle. The Bible says that the sun and the moon stood
still in the midst of the heavens, and I believe it just like that. I believe it. Do you believe it?
(This refers to what they saw in the sky and the extended daylight hours. We don’t know exactly
how the Almighty did it.)
There was another time when God called the sun to go backwards, about a whole day. (Isaiah
38:8) Talk about rewinding. Back-winding a clock is nothing, but are we talking about back-
winding the solar system? Think about Who God is and what He can do. Not only can He stop
this thing, He can reverse it and make it go backwards for a day. How did He do that?
People who study the stars would say, “It’s impossible. You can’t do that.” What they should say
is, “I don’t see how it can happen.” It happened. “How did it happen?” I don’t know how, I just
