Lessons from the Desert

It's and we're going to look at life on this Earth and and things that we go through and this life we're going to be looking at the book of Exodus and preaching a message this morning about lessons from the desert lessons from the desert. And if we look at lessons from the desert, we're going to see a theme of redemption and restoration throughout the study. This will be a probably has several weeks study as we look at this book of Exodus and when you look in this at the Redemption and restoration, I love the two words because that's that's been a story my life. I'm thankful for Redemption type of restoration. God has shown that to me and we're going to see different type of ologies has look at our study. The first thing you're going to see is Moses and Moses is the type of Jesus type of Christ and then Egypt is a type of the world and you can look picture a tip to sussanne or The Flash and then you got Pharaoh is a type of Satan and then Israel's a type of mankind that's enslaved to send slave. Devonda, just like Israel was in bondage to Egypt and Farah. We needed a savior Moses to come in and save and deliver. We are bound to our scent. We're bound to RC and here we need a savior to save us from our sins. Jesus Christ is our savior. He delivers us from our sin. He redeems us restores us and and then he leaves us to the promised land as of the song was saying our home sweet home and that's what we see and access. I'm glad not just an excuse but you see that Plan of Redemption throughout the entire Bible That's the central focus of the Bible. The main person in the Bible is Jesus Christ. He is the savior and that's the main thing that you need to get when you read the Bible when you come to church as we preach the gospel we preach Christ and him crucified and we all have sinned problem and God loves us and He sent Jesus to be the payment for our sin, and I'm glad the day when I called out to Christ and I accepted Jesus Christ as my Sojourn he he forgave me and my send my send that was taken care of and I have a home that awaits me in heaven and I have a God sent his Jesus that live in my Heart Holy Spirit indwells in my heart and leave me in this life and comforts me in this life and I can so many benefits that come with that. But as we look here at four different chapters the first chapter in chapter one, we're going to see a problem and there's a problem that Bursa a movement and and what I want you to see here that we look at problems in our life completely different than the way that God looks at problems in our lives when we have a problem in our life. We cry out to God and we say God. Please make it go away get me out of this problem. I do not want to go through this but God looks in the problem completely different. He looks at the problem as as a way to work and and mold us into what he wants us to be. He uses it for a greater purpose is that we cannot understand we cannot see it at Farther along and we look back and then we tell okay, I get it but we've got to learn to trust God in our problem, but he has his problems to develop us in our life. And then but this problem is going to produce a solution is going to produce a a liter and the solution to this problem is is a baby. It's a baby and in the midst of problems we often we beg God for immediate deliverance. We want to be taken out of our situation. We want the problem to go away but God in the midst of this problem. What does he do? He sends a baby and he uses this baby and he's going to develop this baby to become the leader. He needs it to be but the deliverance and they say the answer to what they're seeking does not come for 80 years later. It's going to be 80 years. And when we have a problem, we want a media delivery, but God he he sees it all and he looks at the entire situation. He says I see the problem and I got a plan for this problem. And and and in this in this story, we're going to look at today. God is going to work every Dental plan that's going to deliver the entire nation of Israel entire people group is going to preserve this people group that God has made a covenant promise with that. They will always be and and through this line of the people of the Jewish Nation God's going to produce the Savior and a savior is going to provide a Redemptive plan that will be offered to the entire human race and I so wonderful thing we see here and then chapter 3, we're going to see how God trains this paid and how God uses Moses and we'll call this the process and we see the importance of raising a child proper but we also is the equal importance of trusting God with our children because the truth is if they really do belong to God and he knows what is best. We must learn to trust God with our children and then chapter 4 We're going to see the mission and what will see the danger of self-reliance and we'll see the importance of Fate as we accomplished our mission that God gives us we're going to tear this morning. So hang on buckle up and I'll look at us synopsis of four chapters. And so we're going to look how God prepares prepares its Manny develops the leader and I want you to self reject yourself in this story on how God is wanting he's wanting to prepare you and he's trying to develop you for what he has you to do. So that's looking chapter one will start out there in Exodus chapter one this morning and we're going to look here and I'm going to read just a few verses here starting verse number 8, we're going to look at the problem and it and Roses exit is 1 vs 1/8 Bible says now there are rows up a new king over Egypt which knew not Joseph. All right. And so Joseph had back in Genesis really delivered Egypt from famine if you studied us the life of Joseph, but this that that you know are Body is kind of has that mentality. What have you done for me lately? And that was what happened in Egypt? They knew not Joseph. They have never heard of Joseph and and dusted is Farrah knew not Joseph and there's a couple problems. There's going to be a number one. They were going to say extreme hardship and the second problem we're going to see mail genocide is going to happen in this passage. And I'm so we look over here and verses 9 and 10 and they said unto his people but hold the people of the children of Israel are more mightier than we come on. Let us deal wisely with them less they multiply and it come to pass that when they're followed any War they doing also unto our enemies in fight against us and so get them up out of the land and so he's worried about the nation of Israel. They're multiplying they're getting to be a great people rising up against Egypt overthrowing Egypt and also worried about them may be leaving and they of course provide a lot of the labor force. They helped develop the infrastructure. They helped make the Egyptian Empire what it what it was in that. Is worried about all these things and sewing burst number 11 and 12. It says therefore they did set over them to task Masters to Afflicted with burden and they built for Pharaoh treasure cities a pet them and Ramses and verse number 12 that says but the more they Afflicted them the more they multiplied and groove and they were agreed because of the children of Israel in this amazing hear only. God can do this only God can cost you to be afflicted and tormented and grieve and go through extreme hardship in your life yet you grow spiritually out of it. You become a better person out of it. Only God can do that. That's what he did here. And in some people some of us have problems right now and we're just doing our best to get out of it. But in the midst of the problem God is trying to use it. God is trying to grow us and if we just stopped for a moment and we just would think I wonder how how's God going to use this problem to do something great for his glory in my life. And and we tend not to look at our problems like that. But what if we would be our problems with do a Biblical set of glasses what if Would look at our problems and try to see them the way God sees them and he know instead of your problem being the death of you. It might be the birth of something great a new chapter in your life that God is trying and I and said there's extreme hardship now only extreme hardships, but if we look on down here and we'll see and says that the Egyptians made the children Israel to serve with rigor and may their lives better with hard bondage and mortar and brick and all manner of service of the field Elder service wherein they met them serve was with rigor. And so there was a problem there was extreme hardship, but it was not only in the workplace. We're going to see the next the next problem we have in our in our society of Israel were looking at today was not only in the workplace but is also a problem with the mail genocide and so I will see that Pharaoh begins to selectively kill Jewish boys and infants side infant side has been around a long time. He does not want these young men to grow up and create an army and so down in verse number 15. He speaks to his The Midwives and he he tells the midwives that when they went up when a baby boy is born. They need to take the baby and they need to kill the baby and inverse number 15. It says in the king of Egypt bacon to the Hebrew midwives. What's the name of One West ship on the name of the other pool? And he said when you do the office of the Midwife and Hebrew women see them upon their stools if it be a son he shall kill him. But if he had a daughter then she shall live but the midwives feared God and did not as a king of Egypt commanded them, but save them save them in children alive, and I'm so we see here. That he speaks to The Midwives but the midwives fear God and I'm so glad for that. I'm glad for people that fear God fear God and they feared God more than the king. And this is that's that's the point when it comes to a point that that's the only time you don't follow will also Wyant when they violate the laws of God, then you follow God and so he says anytime you see a baby boy want you to kill the baby boy Universe number of The Midwives didn't do it invades. He says the king of Egypt called for the Midwife Center then why have you not done this thing to save them until their life and they they said verse 19 says the Midwife said unto Pharaoh because the Hebrew women are not as the Egyptian women for their Lively and are delivered are the midwives commenter them so we can get to these these Hebrew women. There's there such a strong man. They they have their babies before we can even get to them and And so what is what is the Pharaoh do while he he puts out a in order, you know an executive order and verse 22 incision Farrow charge all his people saying every son that is born shall be cast in the river and every daughter ye shall save alive. And so that was a huge problem here. And what else can you imagine living in a in a horrible horrible time like this when it was just ordered that all the males would be all the baby boys would be killed. What does What a Sad. What a horrible time. Sadly. We actually do live in a time like that. If you look at the leading cause of of mortality abortion is the leading cause of mortality in that that's just mind-boggling is sad sad to think about that, but that's that's been around that is that is a wicked wicked thing and that has been around for a long time and it's always been wrong. It's still wrong and Cuz I don't want it. I don't know what your problem is today and what problem that you are going through but it is a part of the mission that God has for your life. And so what's the what's the solution if we ask that the leadership of Israel in that day since what we need to do here. They would say God send somebody right now send us a deliver right now and and get us out of this mess that were in but what does God do well God sends a baby. God sends a baby. That's the least likely thing that anybody would come up with cuz everybody would say don't send the baby cuz they're killing all the babies was God do he sends a baby. God does God God's going to do what he's going to do and he sends a baby and I noticed the kind of a transit route scriptures when you know, when it went right needs to be wrong when truth needs to be preached when a continent needs to be reached. God sends a baby raises up a person do that. He is a man. He uses a woman. He uses. He sends a baby look look on. Rihanna was several hundred years down in the Bible when the human race needed to be say when they need to save your what did God do God sent a baby and I am so we let love the baby love the children. Love the children that looks an economy such as the king of heaven and but we stay here at this dissolution. And and in Chapter 2. There's going to be three movements number one God's going to send the baby. Number two. He's going to get a Egyptian education. And then number three he's going to send Moses towards end of chapter is going to send Moses to the desert. So this baby is born and these parents are there trying their best protect the baby and they they put the baby in a little basket put it in the river and they're trying to protect that protects but you you know, the story The the pharaoh's daughter sees the baby in the bulrushes and and says, he not want the baby and through various providences of God the other mothers allowed to nurse the baby for it for a while but eventually and ultimately The biological mom here is about to have her baby taken away. All right, the biological mom has done nothing wrong. All right. She just fed the biological mom is getting ready to have a baby taken away and given to a really a very Pagan woman. So it was Pharaoh's daughter and she was seen of the Egyptian people were were a pagan people and but this is how God worked here and we a lot of times look at we look at problems and we say God, how can you be so mean? Why do I have to go through this? But you know, this is God at work. This was God at work. There's a strong chance that Moses mom may never see Moses again. And and the thing is if if if Moses is parents, They could have seen 80 years down the road. All right, they could have seen the what what how this is all going to work out. They would have said okay, I get it. I see how God is working here. But you know God does not work like that. He doesn't show us 80 years down the road. He leaves by faith. He does not lie by sight and so the parents they watch this child being taken away and he goes to a pagan home and he and he gets an Egyptian education. I mean that's that's enough that he gets an Egyptian education. You think we look down here in verse number 9 it says in Pharaoh's and chapter 2 in Pharaoh's daughter said unto her take this child away and nurse it for me and I will give thee. Wages in the woman took the child in Hurst and the child grew and she brought him under Pharaoh's daughter and he became her son and she called his name Moses because he had said I drew him up out of the water is basically Moses adopted by Pharaoh's daughter and she names and Moses. And dumb, he became a son of his adoptive parents and you know, you think about Moses is sitting down with the with the Egyptian family sitting with his mom. They're having dinner who's at the head of the table. Well Pharaoh Pharaoh's at the head of the table that you think about that Pharaoh it mean if you think that's going to come in handy later on down in Moses life. Absolutely. It's going to come in handy, you know later on in life. He demands a meeting with pharaoh and he what he gets the meeting with Pharaoh that that would be like me trying to demand meeting with President Trump. You think I'm going to get that meeting probably not but you know, God put people in positions for such a time as this and he put Moses in this and this place and and so, you know, there's a silent time in Moses life. If you go to the next about Lena 40 years or so that we don't know much about what happened in Moses life when he was in the household Affairs daughter, but in if we go on over to the first number 11 in the Bible Says this is that isn't it came to pass in those days when Moses had grown and we know from other place in the Bible. He's about forty years old right now. So then he went out and do it and looked on their burdens and he spied an Egyptian smarting in Hebrew one of his Brethren and he looked this way and that way and when he saw that there was no man, he slew the Egyptian and hit him and the stand. All right. So we see that Moses goes out and he season Egyptian beating up one of his his Hebrew Brothers Moses. He stops the fight. He kills the Egyptian and a murder somebody. Well, the next thing that transpires is kind of odd cuz Moses Moses is a sign. He's the grandson of pharaon. You would think being the grand son of pharaoh that he could probably do. You know how get away with some things so to speak but whatever whatever whoever he killed and however, he did it whatever you mess. It must have been so bad that he realizes hey Pop. Can't pop can't get me out of this one boss can't get me out of this one. So he has to flee the land. He has to flee the country. And again, this is all it this was it's just amazing to see God got it worked through all these situations and so he he flees the country and he goes to the backside of the desert and he's going to spend 40 years his first 40 years. He lives in Egypt. He's going to kill an Egyptian and then reverse number 15. We see now in Farrell heard this thing. He sought to slay Moses but Moses fled from the face of pharaoh and well in the land of Midian and he sat down by it will also Moses flees from the presence of pharaoh. He gets out of the country. And and so wait we see in chapter one. We saw the problem. We see here in Chapter 2. We see the solution and it came as a baby and now Moses is grown up. He grew up in his Jepsen household now 40 years old and then we got a chapter 3 now in chapter 3, we're going to look at the process and I went to try to place yourself in this process. And you know, if you like if you're a fan of college football, you'll hear the word of the process a lot and I'm not I'm not an Alabama fan but I do have much respect for the program and Nick Steven has a he he calls it the process he drinks and these freshmen out of high school when he puts them through the process and they they they break them down and build them up and and he creates championship football teams. Consistently It's amazing And every every coach has that they have a process in and we're going to look at God's process when God wants to do something in your life and he wants to make you what he wants you to be. He puts you through a price. Assassin, what what does that involve? And so you know Moses is inverse. Number one. It says in chapter 3 it says now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father-in-law the priest of Midian any Play Led the flock to the backside of the desert and came to the Mountain of God even to hurry up. Now if you try to place yourself where Moses is right now, you think while I'm you think in your life think I'm just I'm all alone right now. What's up was Moses? You think that you're in a position where you have very little impact or influence whelp soaps. I was most that's what Moses taught at this time in his life. He was all by himself and he he's going to keep the flock and he goes to the backside of the desert and and you know, this is a humbling process in Moses his life and the backside of the desert seems like a a a horrible thing. Okay. It seems like a horrible thing to go through that. We see in Moses life when he was sent to the back side. Desert, he was sent in the place of loneliness and and in a place where he he did a job will get into in a minute that was was considered a demeaning job. He came to the very man of God. He came before The Very presence of God and that is how God works. That is the process when God is going to use a man. God will humble a man. God will humble man. You look at you. Look at this Moses. He kept the flock when God is going to use you. He's going to start my humbling you every man or woman that's ever been abused of God has been humbled greatly and you look at the story of David David was humbled in the Hills running for his life from Saw. If you look at the story of Joseph Joseph was humble. He he was sold by his brothers into slavery and just seemingly forgotten and went through 13 years of a raw deal of being falsely accused you look at Paul Paul was humbled by The Thorn In the Flesh and he got the rice to take it from him and Pete. The Peter man, he was he was humbled in front of everybody by his public failure treatment. He really just he blew it. He was humbled and publicly and everybody saw him fall and God used to be humble Peter and then he used to him and a great way you look at the Prophet Elijah Elijah was humbled when when he was at the brook and the brook went dry. And he was he was had to it to to be to eat at the hand of a widow. And God will humble sometimes God is trying to Humble us and we we fight against that humbling and we say I know cuz this is my right I've got rice and I'm going to stand for my rights and we just going to fight against that and you know, the Bible says humble yourself in the sight of the Lord and He will lift you up and you just trust God's process purlife and just just take that road. If you melody take that road, if you know that's a hard thing to do when it does not come natural. We we we we are up against it, but if we learn to just accept that and God will lift us. And so we see what he does and this next 40 Years of humbling. He learns how to be a Shepherd. He leaves the flock of Jethro of this is this is the way God develops lead. This is this is leadership through humility shepherding is a is a very difficult job. You're you're you're leading sheep that may or may not even want to file you you're trying to look out for their best and they may or may not appreciate it. And this is what Chef Moses is going to eventually lead, you know, 1.5 million people and in this experience on the backside of the desert leading the flock of sheep is going to come in very handy and learning how to lead people God wants to he wanted to teach most how to share for God wants to teach you how to ship or you're going to Shepherd somebody in your life. You may not be a pastor but you'll Shepherd maybe you'll family whatever your sphere of influence that God gives you you'll learn how to Try to reach and lead people and influence people and be used of God. And so Shepherds were actually the very despised and Egypt. They were despised. This was a despised occupation Moses grew up in in the royal family of Egypt. He would have known this if you remember back in the The Book of Genesis when Joseph's brothers came to Egypt, he told me don't tell him you Shepherds. Do you say don't tell him you're Shepherds cuz the Egyptians to spice Shepherds. That was that was just a demeaning job. And that's what that's the what would the job that Moses took? He left royal family and went and began became a shepherd and and watch the flock of Jethro his father-in-law. And so what God is God involves the process of that is the process he uses when he wants to use a person we wants to do a work in your life. So why is God trying to Humble you right now? What is God doing in your life? What is he trying to do if he might be trying to come with you so he can save your marriage down the road. He might be trying to Humble you so he can prepare you for a future Mission. He's getting ready to put you there's there's a time of humbling that will come to all of us. And and when we are humbled we are humble. So we realized hey, I'm nothing and God is everything God is everything and and so are you in a time of humbling and God is working with you if you are God is working with you and unless look what happens here after this humbling in and burst or chapter 3 and Versa number to assess and the angel of the Lord appeared onto him in the flame of fire in the midst of the bush with fire and the Bush was not consumed and Moses said I will now turn aside and see this great sight by the bush is not burnt and when I saw the Lord that he turned aside to see God called out into the midst of the Bush and said Moses Moses and he said here in mind says y'all not Heather put off thy shoes from Happy for the place without standards His Holy Ground. And he said I am the god of God of thy father God of Abraham the god of Isaac the god of Jacob and Moses hid his face when he was afraid to look up on God now. God is ready to speak to Moses or I should I should rephrase that after Moses was humbled Moses was ready to hear God and that's that's usually the way it is. And after we are humbled we are letra we are ready to listen to God and what God has to say and in and God will say so, you know, this is what you need to do with your life. This is what you need to do with your marriage. This is what you need to do with your relationship problem. This is what you need to do with your kids of the backside of the desert brought Moses to the very presence of God and he heard God speak to him and this is the times when God will speak to you. This is the time when God has your full attention when you are broken down and you are Golden God has your full attention and he'll speak to you and he'll give you instruction in life and he'll give you your mission. And so when God humbles you we see that this is when you can speak he can speak to you in this is when you can listen, let's look on down first. Number 10. It says here. It says chapter 3 it says come now. Therefore I will send the under Pharaoh that thou mightest bring forth my people the children of Israel out of Egypt and he gives him his mission. Wow, what what a mission that that is like the Lord. I don't know if I can do that. He's going to bring up meet at one point five million people out of a very powerful Empire. He's going to go back into a land and talk to Farrah where he he is. There's a warrant out for his arrest and he is killed somebody coming I was at his do you know that they want his they want his life and so Heat when God he has something for you to do. He's going to show you through humbling. And what is it that God wants you to do. What is it? Why are you here? Why are you here? You're not here just to make money and buy stuff. God has a plan for your life. God wants to use you. God wants to use you for his glory and that's when we really accomplish our purpose and that's when we have a a life that is full of of contentment and purpose and enjoy and and peas and so that's the Abundant Life. And so that's what we're seeking. We're seeking to allow God to develop that in our lives and so are many of us have never we never heard our mission from God. Why is that why we never heard our mission, you know a lot of times cuz we never allow God to Humble us whenever we've always resisted that hum when we never listen to him when he's trying to tell us and and so God he is he is working with Moses. He sends the baby. He sends baby puts him through some Some situations Moses's parents they learned they learn to trust just trust God with their child in and God has that best interest in mind and then they go through a process here and he develops Moses and then we're going to look on down here to chapter 4 and chapter 4, we're going to see them it then and we're getting ready to to land this plane and just hang on here, but we're coming. We're coming coming to a conclusion, but we seen the problem. I was saying the solution and we seen the process and then we're going to have the mission now the mission again and was so we just we just said he's going to go back to Asia and deliver the people from Faro sometimes God gives us our mission. And we say there's just no way I am not capable of doing that and Moses felt that way Moses felt. You know, who's who am I I can't I can't do this Moses was worried about his his speaking ability Moses. I believe had it had a stuttering problem and inverse. Number one. We're going to stay here at says in Moses answer and says behold, they will not believe me nor harkonnen to my voice for they will say the Lord have not appeared on 2v. All right. Now when God when he when he gives you something to do. He's not really interested in your ability. But he's interested in your availability. He's he's he's interested in your a bit your your willingness to depend upon him in the following him into walk by faith. I'm going to see that all play out here in chapter 4 and verse everyone. God does not suddenly look at Moses and say Moses Moses. You got a stuttering problem. I never noticed. I mean God God knew God created God. God knows everything about Moses and sew-in vs. Number 2 and 3. It says the Lord said unto him what is in 9 hand and he said a rod and he said cast It On The Ground he cast it on the ground and became a serpent and Moses fled from before it and the Lord said unto Moses put forth thine hand and take it by itself and he put forth his hand caught in it became a rod in his hands, but they might believe that the Lord God their fathers the god of Abraham the god of Isaac the god of Jacob has appeared under the and then inverse number six seven seas and Moses therefore it said unto him putting out on hand in a tie. He put his hand in his bosom and we took it out but hold his hand was leprous as snow and he said put on henna dye buzzed him and we put his hand into his bosom. Again. He plucked it out of his bus and behold it was turned again as his other flesh. And so when God is going to use you he will work in your life, but you have to realize that they just the danger of self-reliance Moses says, I can't talk. All right. He says the people are not they're not going to listen to me and a guy says he's got some interesting that guy says you let me show you what I can do with your talents if you'll just give them to me and so what what is it is in your hand. He says what he tells Moses. What is in your hand? What's in your hand? What is in your hand? Just whatever is in your hand. You just give that to God you give that to God God will take that. He will take whatever it is in your hand and he will take those in x Great things with it and you know God is not he's not interested in your self-confidence. He's not interested in your self-reliance. He's going to do a miracle with Moses here. And then the second thing we see here is he shows that his hand is Hannah's leprous and what is leprosy it always pictures sent and that's why a lot of us wheat, we've got a whole back on on getting involved with with God's work because of our sin. We got to send problem and say, oh man, I got to know people really knew I got this in problem and there's no way that I can feel anything for God because of my sin problem. I'm not going to I hear the soft. I might be and you know, like that's something you know, but God God will take your sim problem. And that's what he tells Moses here says, you know, you know just do what I say, if you'll take your sin problem. You'll submit it to God God. God will take that same problem. He'll give you victory over it. He'll give that he'll give you victory over sin problem. He can He can cleanse you of your second problem. He can make you whiter than snow. And and so I stand before you here today as your pastor. I said I maybe I am a a sitter. Okay, I have sent much and God has given me much grace. God has forgiven me. God has given Miss Grace and God will do the same thing for you. And so we see the dangers of Reliance on sale for see the dangers of that. We look at our our inability to look up send problems, but you just got to give all that to God give it all to God. We'll take it and he will do something with it. And now the second thing we're going to look at here as part of the mission. We're going to look at the importance of Faith. Let's look at faith. We look on down here in versus number 18 and 19 in the Bible says in Moses went and returned to Jethro. His father-in-law was set into him. Let me go I pray thee and return it to my brother which are in Egypt and see whether they be yet alive and Joseph said unto Moses go in peace, and the Lord said unto Moses in Midian go. Return to Egypt for all the men are dead, which thought that I live. So Moses knows he's got to go back to Egypt and he knows that that is his life is marked. Alright Moses did not get confirmation that it was safe for him to return to Egypt until he had already made the decision to go. Do you see that here in the passage, you know, a lot of times in our lives. We will say things like I'm going to follow God but this has to happen first it once this happens, then I'll follow God. I will say things like, you know what I want a tithe. I want to start giving his God told me to but I as soon as the bills are paid once the bills are paid, then I'll start tithing or I will say things like, you know what I'd like to start getting faithful to church and I'm going to follow after God but hate us there's a couple things that need to fall into place when these things fall into place and then I'll start I'll start following. I'll fall in God. Work like that and got that pass got honors. Faith. God works through faith faith will move mountains. God works through faith. And so God says you either trust me or you don't and you have got to trust God you want God to move in your life. You have to walk by faith. You want to be a part of a couple that God has put before you life is going to take a step by faith. There's so many I know there's so many different parts of the ministry in my life. Every time we start out there was I had no idea how it was going to turn out and really deep down inside. I always felt like this was going to be a complete flop. He's going to be a horrible failure and I've made up I've had a lot of horrible failures in my life, but you know, God does things thinks there's something there so many things in my life where I see this is never going to work, but God late leaves in it. We take a step of faith in God blesses. It's just it's a marvelous. It's amazing. But what God will do in your life if you just follow By faith God honors faith. And so we look at our passes here today and we see a problem and we see this problem at versus solution and the solution let leads to a process and then and this process leads to getting to getting a mission and when we say that we're doing this mission that that is dangerous to rely upon self and we see the importance of walking by faith. And so when all these things when all these things happen we see this process is about 40 years that we've covered and now or it's actually about 80 years that we've covered here now Moses ready. He's ready to go back to Faroe and he's going to initiate the Deliverance of God's people and we're going to we're going to stop there and are serious. We're going to we're going to carry on and in the weeks ahead, but I'm going to ask you two questions here. 2 questions this morning as we as we look at that we close out today the first question I want to ask you is you know, what what problem are you currently in right? Now? What kind of problems are you having is your current problem? Whether it be Health. Maybe it'd be a financial problem. Maybe it'd be a relationship problem except for whatever whatever it may be. What what is God trying to do in this problem right now? What is God doing through this? I want you to try to look at your problems the way that God looks at your problems and I heard a great message yesterday evening on Romans 8:28 and just about how God works all things together for good to them are called according to his purpose and Anna that love God according to his purpose and when you are when you're trying to follow God and your loving God. You should you your say Born Again loving God following God trying to follow his plan. You can rest assure that whatever problems come in your life. It's going to work together for good. When you're doing those things and so what is God doing right now on your problem. The second question I asked you is is you know, how is God currently preparing you? How is he preparing you are you are you feel like you're in a desert situation right now. Do you feel like you're on the backside of the desert? I want you to learn trust God trust God during the preparation and noticed that he know this that God God doesn't. Just got doesn't waste any time. God always has a purpose and everything. He makes no mistakes. His way is always perfect and just ask God God just help me to trust you through this preparation time. And God. Will you show me what I need to do? What I need to do. I pray that that was an encouragement. If you need if you have any questions, if you've never been saved, I want you to reach out to me. I'd like to show you from the Bible how you can know for sure that you're on your way to heaven. If you need some encouragement want to talk reach out to me. I'm praying for you.
