"What Mean These Stones"

Sep 7, 2025    Bro. Earl Goode

The Israelites didn’t just cross the Jordan River—they crossed into a life of victory, abundance, and testimony. God told them to take twelve stones from the riverbed, not as decoration, but as a memorial—a visible reminder for future generations of His power, provision, and faithfulness.


When your children come and they ask you about spiritual things, you need to have some stones for them to remember. That's what it's all about. That's what this pile of rocks is all about—remembering what God has done for you in the past. There's the stone of answered prayer. Do you have any prayers that God has answered that you can say, "You know, it's sad to say that most Christians can't think of a prayer that God has answered"? Stone of remembering that it is only through the blood that you know Jesus as your Savior, that you know forgiveness and the promise of heaven. There's miraculous possibilities wrapped up in all that God wants to do for you. There's a stone of victory over your enemy if you will allow God to use you to have victory. There's a stone of supplying every need that you have. There's a stone of keeping the covenant—God doing exactly what He said He was going to do. And then God's goodness is both in life and in death.
