And the Lord said unto Moses, Lo, I come unto thee in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with thee, and believe thee for ever. And Moses told the words of the people unto the Lord.
And the Lord said unto Moses, Go unto the people, and sanctify them to day and to morrow, and let them wash their clothes, And be ready against the third day: for the third day the Lord will come down in the sight of all the people upon mount Sinai. And thou shalt set bounds unto the people round about, saying, Take heed to yourselves, that ye go not up into the mount, or touch the border of it: whosoever toucheth the mount shall be surely put to death: There shall not an hand touch it, but he shall surely be stoned, or shot through; whether it be beast or man, it shall not live: when the trumpet soundeth long, they shall come up to the mount. And Moses went down from the mount unto the people, and sanctified the people; and they washed their clothes.

A. By study
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
Thy word have I hid in mine heart,
That I might not sin against thee.
PS.
This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

B. By surrender
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith. For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office: So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another. Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith; Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching; Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness.
Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good. Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another; Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord; Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;
What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.
C. By separation
Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of other men’s sins: keep thyself pure.
Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,
WILL BE DEDICATED
WILL BE DEDICATED
A. Loving God
Paul’s dedication to God caused him to accept all these sufferings. He had scars on his body as the result.
From henceforth let no man trouble me: for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus.
B. Looking to God
We need to keep our eyes upon Christ. Looking about us will bring discouragement, but looking to Him brings encouragement, strength, and help.
Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
C. Longing for God
Paul had one desire—to know God. Note the desire of Job in. This longing will draw us not only near to God, but make us like Him.
That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;
phi
Oh that I knew where I might find him!
That I might come even to his seat!
WILL BE DETERMINED
WILL BE DETERMINED
A. Testimony
Paul could say that all sufferings and problems could not move or discourage him.
But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.
B. Testings
Suffering for Christ was a test for Paul, yet he endured testing. He was determined to live for the Lord regardless of the cost.
And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
C. Trials
Christians will be happy to endure all the trials that come their way.
Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy.
D. Temptation
The person who endures temptation is blessed by God, and is a happy person.
Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.
WILL BE DETAINED
WILL BE DETAINED
There must be a time of waiting before God in prayer
But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength;
They shall mount up with wings as eagles;
They shall run, and not be weary;
And they shall walk, and not faint.
A. Plea to prayer
Men everywhere should pray.
I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.
B. Personal prayer
Secret prayer is the secret of the Christian life.
But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
C. Powerful prayer
There is no limit to the power of the prayers of the righteous.
Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
D. Patient prayer
They prayed for ten days. This was Christ’s command.
And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.
E. Prevailing prayer
Christians should always be in the attitude of prayer.
Pray without ceasing.
