A Deliverer is Born, Part 1

Examining national ministry of finance comes from your generous donation. I know more about running the horizon having a party and when leaders seem to show such little regard for wisdom. Common sense and all that goes on around us.

When people are hired by the highest echelons of power in order to try to walk out one worldview in what we do, how do we respond to the Christ when the powers that be and against him. Welcome to my people think with Ravi Zacharias every generation since the resurrection of Christ, someone to proclaim the gospel examining history while others are names with which we are intimately here was the gospel and coming generation. Today, one of the message from Rob titled deliver is born want to read for you a Scripture give my message to you tonight calling it a deliver is born in Hebrews chapter 11 reading about Moses and beginning from verse 23, it says by faith Moses parents had him for three months after he was born because he saw he was no ordinary child and they were not afraid of the king's edict by faith Moses when he had grown up refused to be known as the son of Pharaoh's daughter. He chose to be mistreated along with the people of God rather than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a short time he regarded disgrace for the sake of Christ is of even greater value than the treasures of Egypt because he was looking ahead to his reward, by faith he left Egypt, not fearing the king's anger. He persevered because he saw him who is invisible. By faith he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of the blood so that the destroy, the firstborn would not touch firstborn of Israel by faith. The people passed through the Red Sea is on dry land but on the Egyptians tried to do so they would drown by faith the walls of Jericho fell off to the people and much from them seven days and he goes on to tell the story and it ends with the verse. They were all commended for their faith.

Yet none of them receive Ottoman promised got a plan something better for us so that only together with us they be made perfect. Many of you know the name of Jay Sekulow. Oh who is a lawyer and fights for all kinds of religious rights, especially for the Christian and then hit one of his most recent mailings, errors what it said. Did you know the US military keeps briefing soldiers and bases across the United States that evangelical Christians are members of the tea party are extremists. Did you know these briefings warn soldiers not to join or donate to these Christian conservative groups or they could face punishment. Did you also know that the military is been consulting with an anti-Christian, extremist and bigoted to help formulate its own policies regarding religious freedom. It's hard to believe but it's true.

The American Center for Law and Justice is taking action defending Christians, undermining action to stop this anti-Christian propaganda in the military, it's past time for us to send a clear message to a leadership. Christians are not extremists, and anti-Christian bigotry has no place in our Armed Forces. Join our new petition read that I thought to myself yeah I know this is happening because I've been to some of our military colleges and bases, and in one instance, without going into each particular one. Some of my team members are familiar with it. The question went right up to some senators who going to block my speaking at this particular Academy when I went to Guantánamo Bay very recently to speak in the Navy and invited me and the commander and so on will behind it and were able to allow me to come in their letters of battle on their hands and the man who's mentioned in this particular memo who is been a consultant to the Pentagon, and so on. You probably seen them on television filled with hate filled with hostility. Trying to do everything to just expunge Christianity in its memory from this country and he's a vitriolic hateful man but just goes for the jugular in this room is one of my colleagues's name is Ruth Melissa roots is just recently joined over the last few months and she went to one of the finest institutions in the country when she joined. She came to talk to me after coming in as is meeting for the first time actually out. I was so surprised to be there because I've known her father for many years was a professor and she told me when she was attending this university professor teaching on a completely different subject decided to keep marking the Christian faith. So she put her hand up and she said send it to send why you're doing this got nothing to do with the subject and for her response. He sent her to the Dean so she goes to the Dean and asked him why my hair.

If he says because your your bang, you're interrupting the class you're really coming in the way over the professor trying to say. She said I'm not coming the way I'm not in any I trying to interrupt. She said I'm just wondering why he is attacking that which is so sacred to me in my personal faith and so on.

He looked at Terry said don't you know you are here for an education. She said, but this is not education. This is indoctrination.

He says to her and listen to. This is a none on on, you've got this all wrong for 18 years at home under your parents and family. You have been indoctrinated. Now we are going to give you an education.

What does an 18-year-old do when the Dean of a prestigious institution has the audacity to tell you you been indoctrinated by a family unit clean all of this stuff out in the London telegraph of this week is an article sitting on my desk in my room here about why David Cameron is decided to invite the Islamic laws in the Islamic shakes and all that and allow them to invest in England to the tune of hundreds of millions of pounds under sharia compliant law to first time it's ever happened and he hosted it in England in order to make it possible for them and I can tell you this. I know exactly what the shakes are doing when they go back to their rooms licking their chops and thinking to them under this huge banner of supposedly liberty and freedom. The Western culture is systematically being decimated before our eyes. When our leaders seem to show such little regard for wisdom and common sense and all that goes on around us.

When you cannot ask Prof. why he is marking things that are sacred to you when people are hired by the highest echelons of power in order to try to block out the one worldview in particular. What we do, how do we respond, and as I was reading the Scriptures on wondering of people like Moses my message tonight is entitled a deliverer is born. You see, we can very easily get cynical in all of this stuff LAV sale. For example, talks about a man who went into town and was constantly speaking and preaching. First, people would listen to him. Then they would start to laugh at him, and finally they ignored him and when they ignored him. He just stood there continuing to speak in the young boy came up to him and say Once upon a time they heard you. Then they laughed at you. Now they're ignoring you what he keeps speaking in the prophet Tim LAV sales little story says Once upon a time I spoke and preached and shouted here hoping to get people to listen to me and he says now. I still keep on speaking. I still keep on shouting and I still keep on proclaiming so that I don't become like them that cynical thing. It's all gone.

Your audience is gone but he's going to keep speaking so that he himself doesn't end up so in different years ago when I was starting out my ministry. I read these words when I was young and bold and strong right was right and wrong was wrong. My bloom on high. My flag unfurled.

I wrote a way to write the world, to dogs and fight said I and rep that was but once to die.

Now I'm old and good and bad are woven in a crazy plaid, a battle won the battle lost the battle. One is the differences from small my son, the world rides and says to me, inertia rides in riddles me the which is called philosophy, and as I look at the story of philosophy and see exactly what it is that people have done in our thinking that a battle lost a battle. One is the difference is small.

My son inertia rides in riddles me that which is called philosophy. I sit and say the world is so and he is right.

Let's ago set right do we just let it go. When you see what philosophy is done when you see what is been done to the Christian worldview. When you see what is being done to due to the Judeo-Christian faith in this lifetime of ours. I asked myself three questions and that is this what happened. What went wrong. How do we get to the right way again. How do we turn things around and I look at the word of God and I see three distinct issues made very clearly and questions that were stuff that made the difference right from the beginning.

The questions that are being honest even till this very day. The first question is this did God really say has God really spoken. Isn't that the question of all questions. Is this really what God has revealed to you and me is this propositional truth in conformity to what actually is. Did God really say that was a presentation God really tell you not to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil said yes because he told us in the day. We do this we will surely die. Then comes a second question not really answer the question comes to my mind. Did God really say is a day of reckoning. Is there a day of reckoning did God speak. Is there a divine them on.

Did God give a question. Is there a day of reckoning and finally when Cain is about to kill his brother. It's amazing what God says to him is a none of you do what is right to be accepted but are you going to what is wrong. Sin is crouching at the door. It desires to have you and you must master it. What a picture he paints the first rejection of God's law was sin in itself. Now as you make wrong choices. The sinful frame of mind takes over almost like a crouching animal desiring to have you. You think a person walks into a house of prostitution, doesn't know he's been bought. He's being had for an hour of pleasure and years and years of may be regrets and destruction you think people who get into these kinds of things. Don't know but you know the more wrong choices you make the mode dangerous. A web view, build, and you get trapped in their sin is crouching at the door. It desires to have you and that personification of a clutch like thing closing in on you and the end of the book of Genesis talks about a nation that is now living in slavery under a demagogic Empire. The time of the end of the book of Genesis.

In the beginning God and so does Joseph died in his window coffin creation, death, and then the enslavement all of a sudden in a tiny little home.

A deliverer is born and here's exactly what happens Pharaoh's try to kill all of the bay. All the male children, and here. Two women who are midwives who really had the conviction of the sanctity of life decided they were going to find a way to protect these babies so you have really five things in play here. Number one the conviction of two women on the sanctity of life. Imagine that the pharaonic power is threatening them, and these two simple women see the sacredness of a little life and then going to take a risk. Number two you see the commitment of a mother who looks into the eyes of that baby and says I'm going to protect you. I'm going to take care of you.

I'm gonna make sure you are not destroying so you see the conviction of two women midwives the commitment of a mother. The compassion of an onlooker, which is really Pharaoh's daughter who's out there. The cleverness of a sister you notice what's happening here to midwives mother young woman are no as an onlooker, and on another young woman is a sister anybody who ever has questions of women in ministry.

That's a good place to begin. These women right from the start are really coming together, and all of their efforts to help this deliverer to be borrower, the dad is unaware of these men are there involved in the killing process and these women of faith, young all veterans mother. They are coming together under the creative sovereignty of God to protect this little boy because in him. God was going to frame an blueprint deliverer for his people.

If you ever doubt the sovereignty of God in the calling of you and me to ministry. Read the lives of these boys read it again and again. Joseph Daniel Nehemiah here. You've got Moses and what happens at the end of it is this you begin to see the heart of God, how he sovereignly rescues this man I want to give you about a one minute theological lesson in what I see as the philosophical difference between the world that is hostile to the things of God and the teachings of the Scriptures that are so profound.

I just end this writing it out for the first time a couple of days ago where there is freedom there is the possibility of love. Where there is love, there is a possibility of pain where there is pain there is the possibility of a Savior where there is a Savior. There is a possibility of redemption and where there is redemption there is a possibility of restoration for the purpose for which you and I were created. So this freedom. This possibility of love.

Where there is love.

There's the possibility of pain where this pain.

This possibility of a Savior where there's a Savior there's a possibility of redemption where it is redemption. This possibility of restoration and starting life all over again under the purposes of God in this simple thing you see the very purpose in the heart of God now begins Moses is journey next step. He refuses he refuses to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter and the place of choices really begins.

What is it he's giving up is giving up. One thing the comfort is here. The second thing a carefree life. He is targeting that is moving him constantly is the compulsion to do what is right. The first he goes about trying to bring about redemption by being a hero himself and taking care of the boys who were torturing them and then he is trying to settle a dispute between two Hebrews and he realizes he's in trouble and he flees in order to find a hiding place somewhere in the desert and when he's gone. God is working away at him chipping away at him working away at his ego and taking away the self-centeredness and the solidity of his own strength to break them down. That ego needs to be broken. That ego needs to be shattered somewhere in the core of your soul and your being you and I need to come to terms with the fact that God could have given this task in this privilege to anybody else, and why does he choose you. Why does he choose me. Why does he take a meager little boy growing up in Chennai, India, and come into his life on a bed of suicide at the age of 17, God and his unique way in his extraordinary way comes in the lives to break down their egos and make them recognize this is about him. This is really not about us. It is critical that we know it in this time in higher edifice of evangelical Christianity came crashing down in the 1980s, when television evangelism took on big big money, big frame big popularity. I well remember as a start around them going to the book conventions and seeing all the big names, some of them sitting on old looking problems and signing their books. People literally coming down, wanting to touch the hand and all the money that went into it. Millions and millions and millions and it shattered the simplicity and the sublimity of the gospel and made big icons out of those who are called to be servants in the kingdom. See John Wesley priest 40,000 summons in his life. 250,000 miles by horseback 15 different languages hundreds of pieces of literature the age of 83 is averaging about 14 sermons a week. The age of 86 is complaining because not allowed to that he is fighting a hard time waking up before 530 in the morning and the sty for his time of prayer or some in the early dawn John Wesley became a hero to me. I read his biography. Read his book.

Read his journals and my first time I went to London. I said I want to see his home so I went into Aldersgate and their outside the church, I saw the words where he was attending the service where the preface to the book of Romans by Luther was being read in those immortal words he writes my heart was strangely warm. I went to the Wesley house.

There walk-through. There are robes of Wesley was not a very tall man at the back there's a monument there that's built and it just simply says this sinner, if you feel constrained to praise the instrument stop and give glory to God. If you feel constrained to praise the instrument stop and give glory to God, Robert Jaffrey, who was one of the great missionaries from the denomination from which I, you know, stood the Chinese language and renew Chinese so well that the standard oil Company New York that was going to be based in China off order draw for a Robert Jaffrey tons of money he turned it down the doubled up the offer. He turned it down.

Finally they wrote to Robert Jaffrey and said to him, Jaffrey at any price. He wrote back in one line.

Your salary is big.

Your job is too small. Your salary is big.

Your job is too small.

My calling is not for big salary.

My calling is for a massive job that God wants us to accomplish and to bring about the deliverance of people and whose thoughts we cross and I say the breaking of the ego is the first thing that God wants to do in your life and mine as Moses refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter took all the comforts and all of the carefree nurse and wants to move one way God wants them back in cleats this week if they'd let my people think if you like to purchase the complete copy of this message.

You know I wrote this book because I begin to see something as I went from campus to campus or venue to venue all across the world. People were living in a post truth culture is a culture that elevates feelings and preferences over facts and truth. So don't deny the truth exists, we simply say truth is there that we don't care. I wrote the book to equip us. How can we or she respond with truth to a culture that denies that is important and how can we get people to see that they're living in a post truth way. Well, I wrote the book so that people connect to answer questions on what truth really is what freedom is really all about is the difference between freedom and autonomy. Is there clarity to be found amidst all the confusion on sexuality and gender to science and faith conflict.

What about multiple religions are all equally valid, all equally invalid or is it possible that one of the Christian faith has concrete answers to the exclusions about others.

These topics and more I talk about saving truth. If you're interested in knowing how you can equip yourself or speak to someone on importance of truth post, truth, culture that my people think the lesson supported will cost managed by Ozzie IM in Atlanta
