1 Joshua 4, Spiritual Markers, Introduction 1. Story Joshua 4.1-3, 5a 7, 9, Roadside Markers & Historical Events: Treaty at Velasco, Carry Nation Hotel; Austin Colony. Historical markers record important events and people that impacted the direction of the State/Nation. Memorials in the Bible 1. Old Testament a. The word means: reminder, remembrance, scent (certain smells remind you of experiences. Smelling roses while at Texas Children s Hospital and reminded of my mother s rose garden in Hurst) b. Ex.17.7 Water from a rock. He called the place testing and quarreling. It would always have that name as a reminder of their rebellion and God s goodness. It s like saying Alamo or Pearl Harbor or Hiroshima. The name is connected to a life altering event. c. Ex.17.14ff the defeat of the Amalekites was remembered with both a record and memorial. A significant marker of God s activity. d. Lev.23 Some of the Feasts are associated with specific historical acts of God that shaped God s people. Israel s festivals were spiritual markers that yearly reminded them of God s intervention in their nation which shaped their destiny. i. Sabbath a day to rest and remember the Lord s goodness. ii. The Passover and The Feast of Unleavened Bread Deliverance from Egypt iii. Feast of Tabernacles remembering their wilderness wanderings. iv. Added later: Feast of Purim deliverance from wicked Haman. v. Interesting all these feast involve sacrifice which effects our sense of smell. e. Josh 4 f. Josh A witness they are to worship the Lord at his sanctuary.

2 2. New Testament a. Mt The woman who anointed him with perfume. Her action was a memorial. It too involved the sense of smell. b. 1 Cor The Lord s Supper c. What are the yearly spiritual markers that remind us of God s intervention on our behalf which shape the believer s destiny? i. The birth of Christ ii. The death of Christ iii. The resurrection of Christ iv. The giving of the HS Spiritual Markers Definition: Spiritual markers are critical Providential events and/or experiences that affect the course of your life for good. These events/experiences can begin both good and bad, but given time we see how they positively and significantly shape our lives. (Providential means that God either allowed the event or ordered the event.) 1. They are infrequent. God can do anything, but how many Jordan River type experiences are there in the Bible? We should experience the ongoing presence of God in our life shaping us, but then you have significant events and experiences that forever altar you. They may last for a minute or be a season in your life. a. Brookhaven Retreat the Summer of You leave the experience a stronger and/or different person (for the better). You might not be a stronger person immediately after the event, but in time you can look back and say, Wow. Look how God used that. In fact, it can look absolutely awful, but God eventually turns it into a thing of beauty. a. Steve Kelly and the cancer diagnosis. b. The Israelites were more confident of God s presence with them. This event supercharged their faith during a huge transitional season - new leader, new territory, new way of life. 3. Are meant to be remembered and shared.(4.5-7) a. Remembrance of spiritual markers leads to: gratitude for the past, gives assurance in the present, and hope for the future.

3 i. The OT festivals, the NT equivalents, and our own spiritual markers were meant to be remembered. We have culturally become such an experience-oriented, in-the-moment society we don't think as deeply about the past. They have a stabilizing and faith generating influence on us b. Sharing passes down our faith and battens down our faith. i. Listening to my grandmother and Stephanie's grandmother tell of their struggles during the Depression and hardships of life and yet the Lord's faithfulness to provide.... Listening to my dad tell of God's provision and direction during the challenges of early ministry. I see how my faith walk is directly impacted by God's intervention in their lives. The Lord took care of them and therefore He also took care of me. ii. These spiritual markers batten down, firm up our faith, during life's difficulties. iii. you can normally tell what people's spiritual markers are by how often they share a particular story. They share it frequently b/c it so deeply impacted them. 4. Are meant to point others to God (4.24). a. Note - 5.1, These two mighty spiritual markers stirred great fear in God's adversaries and great faith in God's allies. b. Story of Dr. Mary Neal's Near Death Experience - article in BCN c. As we share our stories with each other, it becomes a spiritual roadmark that points people to God's activity. i. The Moores buying the land on the bayou and God leading them to begin to build. ii. Spiritual markers in our lives are meant to point others to God. they are an encouragement to the individual who experienced them, but moreover they are a platform God uses to capture a heart.

Historical Markers Gulf Intracoastal Waterway Marker - Velasco Historical Marker at entrance of Surfside Beach - the Battle of Velasco, brought on by a customs quarrel at Anahuac, was unknowingly fought after the dispute at Anahuac had been peaceably settled. After the victory at San Jacinto 4 years later, President David G. Burnet moved the Capital of the Republic of Texas temporarily to Velasco. Here the Treaty of Velasco, ending hostilities between Texas and Mexico, was signed on May 14, This Date in History 1579 Francis Drake entered San Francisco Bay 1579 Sir Francis Drake lands on coast of California 1775 Battle of Bunker Hill, 1837 Charles Goodyear obtains his 1st rubber patent 1885 Statue of Liberty arrived in New York City June 17, 1940 France asks Germany for terms of surrender in WW II This Week in history, the movie "Jaws" was released - June 20, 1975 Respected Surgeon Shares Amazing Testimony of Dying and Going to Heaven Teresa Neumann (June 14, 2012) "Each event, good or bad, is like a small thread woven together with others to create a glorious tapestry of God's design. I do not fear death." -Dr. Mary Neal Dr. Mary Neal is an orthopedic surgeon and author of the book "To Heaven and Back." On her website, Neal says of her book: "I wrote about my spiritual journey and the near-death experience I had in 1999 while kayaking in the Los Rios region of southern Chile. I wrote it because more than anything, I want people to know that God's

5 unconditional love for each of us is intense, complete, and is reflected in all of Heaven." "Before we return to Heaven," she continues, "our real home, we have an incredible opportunity on Earth to face challenges that will help us learn, grow, and to become more Christ-like in the fruits of our spirit. Our time is so short that we need to be about God's business every day." According to a Daily Mail report, Neal who was trapped underwater for 15 minutes said as she realized the situation was hopeless, she "called on what was then a moderate faith and asked only that God's will be done." Neal wrote on the Huffington Post that she was "immediately overcome with a physical sensation of being held, comforted, and reassured that everything would be fine regardless of whether I lived or died." In her book, Neal writes that spiritual beings appeared and brought her to Heaven where she conversed with several angels. She had an overwhelming desire not to leave Heaven, and while there was given a glimpse of her future, including knowledge of the death of her oldest son. It was not a dream, she insists, or an hallucination. Nor was it the "result of a dying brain and could not have been created by my limited imagination." Her life since that day has changed forever. Not only is her relationship with God rock solid, she no longer fears death. Fox News newscaster Megyn Kelly interviewed her. She kept referring to this kayak accident as a horrific accident. Dr.Neal kept saying it started off horrific, but it became the best thing that ever happened to me.
