SM170219/How to Face Overwhelming Obstacles

Harvest messages are brought to you by harvest partners to receive free email daily devotions or to become a harvest partners, please visit us online@harvest.org. All I wanted to grab your Bibles and turn it to passages today.

A familiar one to start with you was 11 SR base tax for this series that were calling world changers. As we look at the great heroes of the faith from what is sometimes called the hall of faith Hebrews 11 and also turn to Exodus chapter 13 the title of my messages how to face overwhelming obstacles. Let me start with the question how many of you have ever been in a situation where the only way out was God raised her hand and gave been one of those situations. Maybe it was a report from a Dr. they gave no real hope maybe it was a financial catastrophe. Were you on the brink the brink of collapse may be a marriage was completely unraveling or a loved one died and you did not do you possibly could survive such a thing or you had a huge family conflict that seemed unresolvable when I bring this up because that's the very scenario before is here in our story from world changers as we see the Israelites standing between well in a way the devil and the deep blue C. They were backed up against the wall and they were caught between an unconquerable Army and an impossible Tuesday impassable.

See they were between the impossible and the more impossible but they what they were about to discover was with God all things are possible. If you ever looked up the phrase, but God in Scripture. Fascinating study but God two words, let me illustrate.

Remember, God brought judgment upon the earth. In the days of Noah. The flood came and no and his family got into the ark with the animals and things are looking pretty bleak. When we read in Genesis. But God remembered Noah and all the wild animals on the livestock. There were with them in the ark and he sent a window over the earth and the waters receded is a guarded made a promise to Noah that they would find land again and start over again, and God always keeps his promises.

But God then there was a story of Joseph. He was betrayed by his own brothers and they thought he was dead.

But God spared his life, and Joseph said to them, you meant this revolt, but God intended it for good and even death does not have the final word that can seem so permanent, so hopeless, but some 49 six as but God will redeem my life from the grave he will take me to himself. So my question for you today is, how big is your but they were here had sat while wooded, I spelled it with one T not to let her know how big your butt is, but I know that your God is bigger than any problem you're facing right now. Yes, I meant to say that I'm just having fun that's all you can remember from the message.

By the way I thought of calling this message. How big is your but God to be good so were looking at a world changer. His name was Moses. What an amazing story because here here's a boy who well was supposed to die because the Pharaoh wicked man that he was given a decree that all Jewish baby boys should be drowned in the Nile River. Why, because they were Jewish, and probably the first act of anti-Semitism in the Bible. The Pharaoh tries to eradicate the race of the Hebrews, what a heartless and wicked thing to do but guarded a different plan for the beautiful Jewish baby Moses and know this God always will have the last word.

So Moses parents would've been a little basket and the cupboard and pitch it did so was waterproof in the Senate cruising down the Nile River and almost on cue really on to the beautiful baby Moses begins to cry, the daughter of the Pharaoh, the Princess of Egypt sees this gorgeous little baby boy and her maternal instincts kicked in and she decides I would arrange that boy is my own silent and she's looking from mother to nurse him in a course module Moses of those under the wrong characters in the strike Moses mother is nearby and she volunteered for the job and and so here's Moses now being raised in the palace of the Pharaoh.

The world was his oyster. He could've had anything he wanted in the Jewish historian Josephus feels that Moses was actually on track to potentially become the next Pharaoh of Egypt that brings us to our first passage.

Hebrews 11 he chose to suffer affliction with the people of God rather than than to enjoy the plasticine passing pleasures of sin, esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt, for he looked to his reward. And Moses said no to all that sin both said no it was awesome. He could've been compromised. He could've done the wrong thing. No, I don't want your passing pleasures. He was on a roll until he took matters into his own hands because one day he saw an Egyptian mistreating a Jew and he just lost it and he killed the guy. The Pharaoh pretty much said Moses is a dead man, so he ran away and he was exiled for 40 years, probably thinking that was the end. But God still had a plan for Moses, so we had to retrofit him for the task at hand and with great courage, accompanied by Aaron. He went into the court of the most powerful man in the face of the earth, the Pharaoh of Egypt and said let my people go, that they may have a feast to me in the wilderness, and though Pharaoh said there's no way I don't know the Lord and I'm not gonna let him go.

So on that when finally the Pharaoh acquiesced. Finally, the Pharaoh gave in another on their way out there free event together first Passover meal together but this is interesting how the Lord led them because the Lord did not leave them on the direct route he led them in a much harder longer route but in some ways made no sense.

Any think about this.

It took them 40 years to reach the promised land is that is because men were in charge and no one would stop and ask for directions could be the reason was because they were wandering in the wilderness going around in circles because they were disobeying the Lord.

But the route from Egypt to the Red Sea, was an unusual root God took them he's taking them in a way where they're going to be put in what appears to be an impossible situation that brings me to point number one before you can be a world changer God needs to change. You before you can be a world changer God needs itching to let me put it another way, before you can change the world. Your world needs to be changed.

Eloquent habits or look at Exodus 13 verse 17 one.

Pharaoh let the people go. God did not leave them along the main road that runs to Philistine territory, even though that was the shortest route to the promised land, God set up my people are face of the battle, they might change your mind return Egypt. So God led them in a roundabout way through the wilderness toward the Red Sea is interesting. God did not leave them on the shortest route or the easiest route, but he did leave them on the best route which brings me to point number two God's way is the right way.

God's way is the right way of Lord, give them a really amazing GPS system of plot of fire by night.

A cloud by day three simple when the cloud moved you move with the club stopped you stop at night time of the fire moved to move when it stopped you stop on or about you, but II use GPS or be known that and occasionally my GPS.

It almost seems again as a mind of its own thing. It did like some geek program this thing that he had 20 chips or subtenant can either look at RW drive along the freeway going to a destination. I've never been to.

I put it in GPS and all of a sudden it will say turn right at the next Opera okay does make sense in turn by turn right turn left or turn right, your turn right. Your turn left ear. Now get back on the freeway to give Michael what was that all about.

There was nothing happening. The causality makes no sense at all and and sometimes all of my GPS on for the beginning of a trip and so they'll recognize right hand side of me. Listen anymore and the GPS will tell me to go away that I know was the wrong way to go this way, no, no, I'm gonna go my way, then that frustrates GPS recalculating, recalculating, recalculating, then GPS will say to your turn at the next light and I don't do a U-turn and it says do a U-turn at the and then it says to me why didn't you do a U-turn at Alcala flight Ivan that feature I have to disable and setting by me that up so but I mean you know GPS is not always right, but God's GPS is always right cloud by day of fire by night cement. I was psyched about that because a lot of times I would know what I should do what I think will be so easy over classroom and this is the way let's go everybody you have something better than a cloud in a fire. You have Christ himself living in your hearts.

They didn't have that in the Old Testament, even Moses great man of God that he was for Abraham, Isaac and Jacob fill in blank here any of the great Old Testament characters. They didn't have Christ in them.

This is only for the believer in the new covenant, who is believed in Jesus Christ. God takes residence in our heart, and I don't need a fire in the sky.

I have the fire of the Holy Spirit in my life giving me the power to do what God is called me to do. And the Lord will lead you in the way that he wants you to go no, listen to this.

Sometimes God's will doesn't make sense is this is true when you're younger. As you learn these shoes for the first time you learn what God wanted to be with God doesn't want to do. Maybe if you're younger you renew your not supposed to have sex before marriage and after your marriage is supposed to be faithful to yourself that is like the lamest rule ever. Why, why would God say that he's trying to ruin all my fun.

He does know what he's talking about. Actually, God knows exactly what he's talking about.

He put that law in place to protect you because as you get older and you see all of the habit that comes from people who live a moral lifestyle you start to see the logic of this law you could take so many of our social ills today.

Marriage is falling apart. Children conceived out of wedlock. Raised in fatherless homes, often ending up in drugs, often ending up in prison or in jail, often ending up having their own children out of wedlock heated patterns of sin going on and on. All because we can't keep this simple commandment of obeying God.

He's put there for your own good or you read the Bible says you shall not like oh why should I not live manual really benefit if you live by lie on the test cheat on the test.

I'll pass if I lie on the resume. I'll get the job. If I lie here by lie there will be better for me but then you start facing the repercussions for your deceptions and for your lies and you realize all while God knew what he was talking about all along. That's because God's way is the Right Way, King Solomon was a powerful man, a wealthy man in actually the wisest man on the face of the earth. He became one of the greatest fools that ever lived, because Solomon decided one day you know I want to go out there and experience everything this world has to offer, the do every wrong thing. The Bible tells me not to do to see if God's word is true, to see what all that stuff is like an Solomon writes about it in the book of Ecclesiastes and he says everything I wanted. I took I never said no to myself I given the every impulse I held back nothing and then I took a good look at everything I've done a look at all the sweat of the hard work and it was nothing but smoke.

There was nothing to any of it so that the end of the book of Ecclesiastes hears the conclusion of Solomon.

He says the last and final word is this dear God do what he tells you to do. That's it all by the way, here's what I figured out just honor God. Fear him reverence and do what he tells you to do and goodbye. Why can we learn that all know God is noticing a different know you're not different. All the same, and God tries to protect us and keep us from those things because God's way is the right way and the fact is the Lord was going to leave them in a way where he was going to get the glory.

He told the Israelites to go specifically to a place called mint Dall by the sea and we read about it here in Exodus 14 verse three and the Pharaoh will think the Lord says the Israelites are confused and their tribes in the wilderness and once again I will harden Pharaoh's heart. It'll chase after you.

I've planned this in order to display my glory to Pharaoh in the whole army. After this the Egyptians will know I am the Lord.

So the Israelites camp there, as it were told from a standpoint of military strategy. This was crazy. There were completely vulnerable.

There were surrounded by desert with their backs against the ocean. There was literally no way out. But the fact is, God was treating the Egyptians and the thinking the Israelis are Israelites had no idea what they were doing.

But God was allowing this so he could show his power. Meanwhile, back at the palace. One of the Pharaoh subjects comes and says those crazy Hebrews guest with a gun and you know what they're doing dinner know where they're going back up against the Red Sea, with no way out would surely do what you we do is kill them all right now is apparently so angry, so he gets army ready and they begin the charge against the Israelites. He's thinking I'm in a get them there so foolishly made this horrible mistake in here are the Israelites standing back up against the Red Sea and they see this approaching army, whatever they do they pray to the rejoicing God's in control know they do what you would do they completely freak out. Exodus 1410 as Pharaoh approached the people of Israel looked up and panicked when they saw the Egyptians overtaking them and said to Moses were there enough graves for us in Egypt and funny really all we had to come and die all the way out here. We get it just died in Egypt just as easily, and it's a funny thing that kept wanting to go back to each that was always a point of Egypt going back to Egypt. Other point of reference.

Other going back to Egypt. It took God one night to get Israel out of Egypt and it took 40 years to take Egypt out of Israel there always looking back.

Some Christians are that way. Always looking back over the good old days, you know, before was a Christian man.

We would party had so much fun did this did that really were the good old days where the as good as you think they were or is your memory a little distorted. Have you forgotten the emptiness have you forgotten the despondency have you forgotten the repercussions of the things that you did. Have you forgotten that dull aching deep inside of you.

Have you forgotten the fact that you contemplated suicide.

Have you forgotten the havoc it brought upon your family you forgotten about that, conveniently, and you remember a few good times that you had that said they were good. They were always looking back. So before we judge that lets us realize we done the same thing. This is why Jesus said, no man, having put his hand of the plow and looking back is fit for the kingdom of God ever been driving along and had a CHP pull up behind you makes you nervous, doesn't it. Once a person you do when you see a cop soda even if your going under the speed limit is slowdown, photo photo of the consuls then you slow down even more. Maybe the speed limit is 55 and he's going 40 know you're going 3031 2010. You just stop. I pass in that call, he's gonna like me up no way were very aware so you're driving up there behind your stomach still there. Don't turn those lights onto not those lights go on my rates go up.

Do not turn those lights on the probably just out there messing with this anyway you can drive forward when you're looking back. You get yourself in trouble and he can't walk forward spiritually for always looking over your shoulder and the Bible.

By the way tells us in first Corinthians 10. Speaking of the Israelites in the wilderness wanderings. These things happen to them as a warning to us.

Those of us who are living in the last days. So don't dismiss his stories.

It would to some Bible story has no relevance to me is a lot of relevance to you. These things are examples or warning so that brings us to point number three. When things are scary, pray when things are scary praying the other people freaked up of the also prayed verse 11.

They cried out to the Lord and said to Moses, why did you bring us here to die in the wilderness, they cried out to God reminds us of the disciples on the storm tossed sea of Galilee and Jesus was asleep.

How you sleep through stuff like some people can sleep through anything. My wife can sleep through anything a bird chirps I'm I'm awake. I am a light sleeper and there I heard one little noise. It's a game supersonic hearing or something. I hear one little noise in sometimes I'll jump out of my bed linen my feet, my hello Kitty slippers and investigate make sure everything's okay but I sleep like some people just sleep through all kinds of crazy stuff. So here's a storm. The boat pictured back-and-forth waters coming into the boat. Jesus is asleep. They wake him up and take master. Don't you care that were going to drown. But the point is, they called out to Jesus and that's what you ought to do that we need to do when were in trouble if your knees starts shaking Neil on them. Know this faith and worry cannot coexist.

One chases out the other you know people that don't get along with your button to summon over your little bites own self holism by this also bring them at the persons or they don't get along is always a conflict so we have this person.

We can of that person's right know people like that. Are you one of those people just stop on so faith and worry about way. If there's worry, there is no place for faith made is driven not by worried but worried is driven out by faith were told over and Philippians 4. Don't worry about anything, pray about everything in the peace of God, will guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus is the JB Phillips translation puts it, don't worry over anything. Whatever. Tell God every detail of your needs in earnest and thankful prayer and the peace of God, which transcends human understanding, will keep constant guard over your hearts and minds as they rest in Christ Jesus. I love that translation but they saw the Army. I mean imagine look at verse 10. They saw the Egyptian army in pursuit of this happening today. It would have been tanks and Hummers and and helicopters and jets all coming out about the same time, chariots and horses and shields and swords and spears, thinking we are so dad there was no mightier Army on the face of the earth at this time but what is God told them to do. Moses reassures them and says them. Exodus 1413. Don't be afraid to stand still want to Lord rescue you. Today the attention so you see, the day will never be seen again. The Lord himself will fight for you. Just stay calm. While it's hard to do is sometimes a double comes at us with everything he's got all his temptations all his deceptions.

All of his demons coming at us for the moment I'm going to die know you are and I'll tell you what you want because greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world that Christ is in you, you belong to the Lord of the devil contempt you, the devil can hassle you. When you cannot overcome you because you render God's protection. That is why in Ephesians 6 as were told about the spiritual armor we are to wear the helmet of salvation, the breastplate of righteousness, and so forth before all about. It says, stand in the Lord and of the power of his might stand still and see the salvation of the Lord says Moses, believe it or not that's a good place to be worn where's the wrote my quote when human resources are gone then divine resources can go to work on behalf of those that trust God."

Now that brings me to point number four when led by the Lord make your move when led by the Lord make your move.

There's a time to wait and there's a time to move. Verse 15 the Lord said to Moses, why are you crying to me. Tell the people to get moving.

Pick up your staff raise your hand over the sea divide the waters of the Israelites to walk through through the middle of the sea on dry ground. Listen to this. This may seem odd, but this is true, there can come a point in your life.

We don't need to pray about something anymore grid you should always in a hole in the same there's a time to pray and there's a time to move to Gunnison. Stop crying to me. Stop praying about it gently, the miracles, Moses hold up your hand hold up that staff and the waters parted.

Let me illustrate, let's say you're having troubles in your marriage maybe your praying for your husband. Oh Lord help my husband to change you such a jerk change in Lord help them see how wonderful I am.

Maybe you should change your prayer maybe you should say Lord you know my husband is a jerk but help me to be the godly woman you want me to be hello me to do my part husband. Of course need to pray the same thing see a lot of to say Lord save my marriage over not doing anything to keep her marriage strong. You know the Bible says. Husbands, love your wife as Christ loves the church wives respect her husband.

You know, but we don't do that we disavow Lord save my marriage so he could keep praying but do your part. Or maybe there's someone who's wrong to have offended you. They've insulted you the wounded. You and you want to forget they may say Lord. To me the strength to forgive this person your praying about it now though you knew it was not feeling man as a matter of your feeling it. Just go to the Bible says, forgiving one another as God in Christ is forgiven you.

It doesn't say anything about when you feel it just go do it and I would even say that the emotions will most likely follow. When you take the step of obedience earlier pray Lord save so-and-so you pray for them for years and years, Lord save the Lord save them could keep praying that way, have you preach the gospel till I can do the go preach the gospel to because maybe it's their moment to come to crises. There's a time to pray and there's a time to move. How were they able to do this. How were they able to walk to the red CME.

Just imagine it's it's like God save you go down to the Pacific Ocean and keep walked.

What yet just walk so you get in. You know you're up to your ankles. Now you're up to your knees.

Now you're up to your waist and the waves are crashing atop your head and you really can't walk at all to think this is a working out. That's what God said to do you just go and start walking. How were they able to do it. They did it by faith. Hebrews 1129 says it was by faith. The people of Israel went right through the Red Sea, as though they were on dry ground when the Egyptians tried to follow.

They were all around. See world changers are willing to take bold steps of faith. Faith is obeying God in spite of circumstances or even consequences and the more you use your faith, the stronger it gets, the less you use your faith, the more it weekends world changers see opportunities those who are changed by this world.

See obstacles world changers see bridges. Those were change for the world. Jesse walls it's all how you look at things and are you willing to do what God tells you to do, bringing me to point number five our life as a Christian is a walk of faith.

Verse 21 Moses raises and over the see the Lord opened up a path of the water and with a strong east when the wind blew all that night, turning the seabed in the dry land, so the people walk through the middle of the sea on dry ground with the walls of water on each side that walk right through the winter, Joe was very excited when they started well fish probably flop around the ground so she was sorry and soy sauce, and they probably saw this guy cruising by on the wall, the wall of the valley and right there you know it's like the best aquarium ever is very exciting.

A person very exciting at the end when the walls of water collapsed on the Egyptian army, but they had to walk and walk in its hours and hours that the Christian life is just a walk with the Lord, you know, sometimes there's a lot of excitement in the beginning of the Christian life when you realize what God is done for you, but as time passes. You might start taking things for granted and you might start finding yourself becoming a bit apathetic you need to just keep walking this walk.

One definition of being a Christian is long obedience in the same direction. I like that long obedience in the same direction, but if you find yourself getting apathetic. You need to pull out your RPG by rocket propelled grenade launcher know your RPG's are stands for re-every day. Read the Bible you never outgrow it. You never get beyond it never becomes irrelevant. Every day you read keys to answer prayer. You need to have a prayer life.

Pray about things bring things before the Lord G of RPG stands for go to church. You never outgrow that you need to be a regular part of the church and as an RPG stands for share share your faith with others. This is something we stopped do we stop reading our Bibles, we stop being regular and church attendance. We stop praying we stop sharing our faith and we wonder why apathy is seeping into our life because you're not doing the basics. Let's just say you decided to stop and eat anymore. So over the eating thing is going to happen. You're gonna get lightheaded. You can get dizzy, you're going to feel almost sick and if it goes on for a while. You're going to basically start to die and you can live that way. You must eat to survive in the same way will neglect these disciplines and will find yourself withering or let's say you never exercise about the promise, all you do is you either need any delete you live that Krispy Kreme he lived there like have a bed there.

You see don't you even before there even made to now you have another problem. You need exercise first while stopping a glutton a given number two you need exercise you need activity and so it's not enough to just come to church and listen and hear and be blessed yes were thankful you're here work here to help you but now we take it out. The holiest moment of our church service is when God's people walk out the doors going to all the world and preach the gospel.

That's a sharing park, so use your RPG's and so here they are walking through this red sea known an earlier message in the world changers. There is a talk about facing your Giants. It was based on David and Goliath. Remember that I pointed out that if you want to overcome a giant you have to attack it until it does at the David did with life and my point was you know we all have giants in our life and using that as a metaphor for sin or an addiction or some problem identified attach it cut its head off. That's a giant the Red Sea is different. You don't kill the Red Sea you get through the Red Sea. It's a different picture.

There are situations in life that you can to attack you have to get through them.

Maybe it's something you weren't expecting. Maybe it's a troubled marriage.

You need to hang in there and not give up. Maybe it's a physical problem. You know, maybe you have a disability. You were born with. Maybe you've had an accident. Now there's an issue in your life that you never had before. Maybe it's just the effects of getting older and and you deal with a lot of new aches and pains you noted you here. Snap, crackle and pop in the morning, then the problem is you're not eating rice crispy that you or maybe at some some affliction of some kind. You know, the apostle Paul had this problem and here's a guy who prayed for people to be healed. He prayed and people were raised from the dead, but he had this thorn in the flesh as he called it out. Don't forget Paul was beaten he was shipwrecked.

He went to all kinds of hardship. Some scholars think it might've been his eyesight.

We don't know whatever was about never bothered him a troubled him.

He called a thorn in the flesh, and three times he also Lord to take away the Lord said Paul, my grace is sufficient for you, my power is made perfect in weakness resin. Another translation puts it, God speaking said the Paul, my grace is enough.

It's all you need.

My strength comes into its own in your weakness causes. Once I heard that I was glad to let that happen. I quit focusing on the handicap and begin appreciating the gift. It was a case of Christ strength moving in on my weakness. Now I take limitations in stride, and with good cheer. These things cut me down the size accidents opposition bad breaks.

I just let Christ take over the weaker I get, the stronger I become the translation of three will set and that's what I don't understand, but you can help me get through this Red Sea help me get through this issue because one day you will get through it in one way shape or form.

What about the death of a loved one, just talked to a couple that lost her only son age 33.

His name is Christopher. The name of our son who also died at 33 but he was her only son, and your heart just goes out because what can you say it's so tragic it's so sad, but I saw how they were trusting in the Lord and I saw how the other doing things for God's glory. There are thinking of ways to invest their money for the gospel and their wanting to reach out to do things in their hearts have been touched you. No one in their processing. This great pain and in there in the beginning of it now it just happened to them recently and I know that feeling well because I've been there, but I'm not at the place I was you know, eight years ago, but it's still very hard and it's something you get through day by day. It's not a year-by-year thing that's on a month by month thing. Sometimes it's an hour by hour. Think please friends, be patient with those who are grieving the loss of a loved one. Don't rush it. Don't come and with all your clever Christian answers is at the time you don't know what you're talking about one of the best things you can do for a person is suffering is just be there and love because in many ways, are aren't a lot of answers that will really bring comfort and sometimes the answers we bring to comfort actually cause more pain. I know this from experience because of things people are said to make. Be patient and never ask a person who's lost a loved one, especially recently, never ask this. Are you over it yet close slug yourself in the face of how dare you know Nessim and other not to get over it maybe ever, but to get to get through it by God's help and your prayers.

I'm not over it. I'll never be over, but I'm getting through it. I'm getting through my Red Sea. I just walk through it trusting the Lord, knowing that when I get to the end of the Red Sea, to see my son again in heaven. That's my hope. What's your one-day world to come to the end of our life if we want to accept it or not, you'll end up on a hospital bed, you'll end up in hospice, you may not even have that luxury so-called that they come suddenly, but you'll probably know this is it.

This is the end. Okay, you can pass over all the Passover to the other side is like someone went from one place to another. They went from the shore of Egypt to the shore of the brink of the promised land when they will Passover us Christians that Kevin or will Passover to the other side to a place called hell. By the way, God doesn't want anyone to go there to finish the story.

The Israelites they got finally through the Red Sea, and they're probably waiting for stragglers is always stragglers right, uncle Harry looked almost all couple of little kids come on, or not leave until were all here, you know, double stray animals get them over and here comes the fair whole.

This is going to be good and he's in charge and he's got his chariot. There come in through and then the scene collapses on them all drowned and destroyed that so mean, is it this is a prayer that was drowning Jewish baby boys in the Nile River. This is the fair that was bent on their destruction, facing the consequences of this and you see you reject God, you break God's rules using noted Jesus one day you're gonna reap what you sow and I want you to know something when that day comes, God will take no pleasure doesn't want to judge anyone. That's why he warned Pharaoh over and over and over and over and over and over again and we just read Pharaoh hardened his heart Pharaoh hardened his heart Pharaoh hardened his heart Pharaoh hardened his heart. All of a sudden we read God hardened Pharaoh's heart.

When I told God gave Pharaoh the ability to choose Pharaoh said no no no no I don't want it. I don't want God to find the Lord to the kids that your final decision will strengthen you and the decision you've already made.

Right now, God speaking to someone's heart. Deep down inside your team and I need to get right with God. I need Jesus because you're not sure right now as you're listening to this message. If you were to die today if you would go to heaven or not. You don't have that assurance.

But Jesus who died the cross and rose again from the dead three days later can come of your life and forget see Pharaoh thought the Israelites made a huge mistake and he pounced on them taking advantage, not realizing it was a trap set by God himself to show his glory. Fast forward many years saving this infiltrated the disciples and is gotten one of Jesus own handpicked friends to petroleum to this is scary.

Satan got the religious leaders on board and the Romans as well and he orchestrates the death of Jesus.

Realizing it was called all part of God's plan because it was always God's plan for Jesus to die in the cross for arson and then the rise again from the dead, and he could forgive you of all of your sins right now if you ask him to.

There might be some of you listening here watching that you know you're living this compromise life trying to live in two worlds. You're doing things you know you should not be doing. I talk about getting the Israelites out of Egypt, but not getting Egypt out of the Israelites that you use in your church to church but you have other plans for this day and they're not good and needed some last night. You're pretty embarrassed about anything about doing some else tonight or tomorrow that I think that you know are wrong before God.

And here's my concern.
