*The Seven Realities*
*Reality 1 - */God is always at work around you./
God did not create the world and leave it to function on its own.
He has been actively involved throughout history.
In fact, He is orchestrating history.
Because of sin, humanity has been separated from a right relationship with God.
God Himself is working in His world to bring about redemption of those who are lost and dying without Him.
The Father is working through Christ to reconcile the world to Himself.
For some reason, God has chosen to His work through His people.
As He works to carry out His mission to save the lost, He seeks to move all people - both the lost and the saved - into* *the mainstream of His activity.
God was already at work around Moses when He came to him for his burning bush experience.
God had a purpose that He was working out in Moses’ time.
Even though Moses was an exile in the desert, he was right on God’s schedule, right in the fullness of God’s timing, right in the middle of God’s will.
And so are we!
We are right on God’s schedule, right on His timetable where He wants us to be.
We are His plan for Millet.
God has no Plan B!
Years earlier, God told Abraham that his descendants would be in bondage; but He would deliver them and give to them the Promised Land.
God was watching and waiting for the right time to carry out His purpose for Israel.
The time came when: /"The children of Israel groaned because of the bondage and they cried out; and their cry came up to God because of the bondage.
So God heard their groaning, and God remembered His covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.
And God looked upon* *the children of Israel, and* *God acknowledged* *them" /(Exodus 2:23-25).
At the time God was about to deliver the children of Israel, the important factor was not what the will of God was for Moses.
The important factor was what the will of God was for Israel.
God's was at work with Israel, and He was preparing to bring Moses into His plan.
*Reality 2 - */God pursues a continuing love relationship with you that is real and personal./
God created humanity for a love relationship with Himself.
Isaiah 43:10 says:* * "But you are my witnesses, O Israel!" says the LORD.
/"And you are my servant.
You have been chosen to know me, believe in me, and understand that I alone am God.
There is no other God; there never has been and never will be.”/
More than anything else, He wants us to love Him with our whole being.
He is the One who initiates this love relationship, a relationship that began with the coming of His Son Jesus.
He clearly demonstrated the importance of this relationship with us by allowing Jesus to die on the cross to make this love relationship possible.
Our intimate relationship with God is both real and personal.
It is probably the most important aspect of knowing and doing the will of God.
If your love relationship with God is not right, nothing else will be right.
It all starts with love.
God took the initiative to come to Moses and initiate a love relationship with him that was both real and personal.
Moses had led the sheep he was tending to Horeb, the mountain of God (Exodus 3:1).
Very likely Moses had come to the mountain for a time of worship, but God interrupted Moses' plan by revealing Himself at the burning bush.
God told Moses that He would go with Moses into Egypt.
Many texts throughout Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy illustrate how God pursued a continuing love relationship with Moses.
Here is one example from Exodus 24:12, 15-16, 18/ /
/Then the Lord said to Moses, " Come up to Me on the mountain and be there; and I will give you the tablets of stone, and the law and/
/commandments// which I have written that you may teach them" Moses went up into the mountain and a cloud covered the mountain.
Now //the glory of the Lord rested on Mount Sinai ...... Moses went into the midst of the cloud and went up into the mountain.
And Moses was on the mountain forty days and forty nights//./
Time and time again God invited Moses to talk with Him and to be with Him.
God initiated and maintained a continuing relationship with Moses.
This relationship was based on love, and daily God fulfilled His purposes through His "friend: Moses.
The relationship with God was very practical as it guided and provided for His people under Moses' leadership.
And our love relationship with God is also practical as it will guide us in His ways and provide us with all we need to be His servants.
We need to purify ourselves daily by praying Psalm 139:23-24.
Is this your prayer?
*Reality 3 - */God invites you to become involved with Him in His work/
God is a sovereign Ruler of the universe.
He is the One who is at work, and He alone has the right to take the initiative to begin a work.
He does not ask us to dream our dreams for Him and then ask Him to bless our plans.
He is already at work when He comes to us.
His desire is to get us from where we are to where He is working.
When God reveals His work to you, that is His timing for you to respond to Him.
God's purpose was to deliver the children of Israel and establish them as a nation.
Moses was the one through whom God.
wanted to work to accomplish that.
God invited Moses to become involved with Him in His work.
Exodus 3. In verses 8 - 10, God said: /"I// have come down to deliver them/ /(the Israelites) out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring theup from that land to a good and large land// ….
Come now, therefore, and I will send/ /you //to Pharaoh that you may bring My people, the children of Israel, out of E g y p t .
" God/ invited Moses to join Him.
*Reality 4 - */God speaks by the Holy Spirit through the Bible, prayer,* *circumstances, and the church to reveal Himself, His purposes, and His/* */ways./
* *
The testimony of the Bible from Genesis to Revelation is that God speaks to His people.
In our day, God speaks to us through the Holy Spirit..
He uses the Bible, prayer circumstances, and the church (other believers).
Generally, no one of these methods of God's speaking is, by itself, a clear indicator of God's direction.
But when God says the same thing through these ways, you can have confidence to proceed.
God is going to be revealing Himself so you can trust Him and have faith in Him.
He is going to reveal His purposes so you will be involved in His work.
He reveals His ways so you can accomplish His purposes in a way that will glorify Him.
God’s ways are not our ways.
You cannot discover these truths about God on your own.
Truth is revealed by God
*/Reality 5/*/ - //God's invitation for you to work with Him always leads you// //a crisis of belief that requires faith and action./
God is wanting to reveal Himself to a watching world.
He does not call you to get involved just so people can see what you can do.
He calls you to an assignment that you cannot do without Him.
The assignment will have God-sized dimensions.
It will be beyond your abilities.
When God asks you to do something that you cannot do, you will face a crisis of belief.
You will have to decide what you really believe about God.
Can He and will He do what He has said He wants to do through you?
What you do in response to His invitation reveals what you believe about God regardless of what you say.
In other words, do you believe God can use you?
This major turning point is where many people miss out on experiencing God's mighty power working through them.
If they cannot see exactly how everything can be done, they will not proceed.
They want to walk with God by sight.
To follow God, you will have to walk by faith, and faith always requires action.
God's invitation for Moses to work with Him led to a crisis of belief that required faith and action.
Moses expressed this crisis of belief when he made the following statements to God: Exodus chapter 3:11
/"But who am I to appear before Pharaoh?" Moses asked God.
"How can you expect me to lead the Israelites out of Egypt?"/
