Transformed in His Presence, Part 1

Changing I have not gotten to know Dr. Tony Evans is true Christianity starts on the inside works its way out what God is interested in transforming this is the alternative with Dr. Tony Speicher, pastor of Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship in Dallas Texas and president of the alternative salvation can't be earned through good behavior, but that doesn't mean the two concepts are related. Let's join Dr. Evans in Exodus chapter 34 as he explores the connection. Any doctor will tell you that a loss consistently of appetite is a major indicator that something deeper is wrong. It is natural to be hungry to get hungry and want to be satisfied with food. It is natural for Christian to want to know God. It is natural for Christian to be hungry for God.

So when a Christian has lost her appetite and is not pursuing being satisfied with God. It is an indication something else is wrong.

I hunger for God because we become spiritually sick inside. Usually that means that sin has begun to dominate some aspect of our lives eroding the natural hunger for God or we become satisfied with junk religion we been satisfied with the Christian doughnut here in a religious big Mac over there and to get the real thing. We've lost interest in how do you know when you are getting to know God. You know when this thing is catching know when this thing is clicking. How do you know that you are indeed knowing God coming into the knowledge of God. The proof that you are getting to know God is you are changing the same. It doesn't matter how much I shouted how many services that have gone to how many programs are better part of ministry is surveying how much money I given all of those that play changing. I have not gotten to know God. Moses is up on the mountain with God in chapter 34 last message to begin with chapter 33 in chapter 34, though not with God and the Lord said to Moses, verse 27) these words for in accordance with these words. I made a covenant with you and with Israel so he was there with the Lord. 40 days and 4990 Brattle Bridgwater anyone on the tablets the words of the covenant, the 10 Commandments came about when Moses was coming down the mountain with the two tablets of the testimony Moses as he was coming up and he did not know that the skin of his face shone because he was speaking with Moses for 40 days and 40 nights have been in God's presence and here's what happened. God rubbed off. Moses went up. As God in chapter 33. Show me your glory.

Display yourself to me and as in God's presence.

God and he began to glow, so he got an extended time in presence. He is saving God's word is communicating with God and God will follow him.

Thing about the folks thought before you sought before Moses even knew it would starting with the skin of his facial become in him is called a delegate returned with a map of the sun came in and he commanded them to do whatever God said Moses had been speaking with them. He put a male over his face. They were afraid they will go to the child growing up using it sure didn't be.

That's because you see before they do. Just living with you see them changing God on him. God had had made his that time together that expanded time in his word and communication with God so that no God was rubbing off on him and Israel noticed she had been with God.

We are not changing of the reason we are not changing because there is less within all junk food has taken away the appetite to put in everyday language were not hungry for God now where hungry for God's blessing and I will be blessed. We may be hungry for choir sermon or program and says and God made with him an agreement partnership covenants were relational agreements God made an agreement with the minute she met with him and gave him the 10 Commandments rules to live by, and he went and spoke to the people with a glow on his face.

Moses is up on the mountain with God and the Lord said to Moses, verse 27 write down these words for in accordance with these words.

I made a covenant with you and with Israel so he was there with the Lord.

40 days and 4990 Brattle Bridgwater anyone on the tablets the words of the covenant, the 10 Commandments came about when Moses was coming down the mountain with the two tablets of the testimony Moses as he was coming up and he did not know that the skin of his face shone because he was speaking with Moses for 40 days and 40 nights have been in God's presence and here's what happens. God rubbed off on… According to the Bible describes God's one summary word like he exists.

The Scripture says in unapproachable light. That's why there will be no night in heaven because the Bible says God will be the light God exist in the right Moses went up. As God in chapter 33.

Show me your glory.

Display yourself to me and as in God's presence.

God and he began to glow like somebody spending time in a nuclear reactor to become a glow.

Now let's notice what led to glow. It says he has been spending time without food and drink for 40 days and 40 nights every day term he had extended uninterrupted time in God's presence. She had extended uninterrupted time in God's presence. Moses was not with the visitation. He wanted a habitation. Most of us pray God visits quick visit. We don't given the pleasantries we go to let them know we remember way lives we drop it only Moses expanded extended uninterrupted time in God's presence. Notice re-saving God's word, the 10 Commandments, so he was in God's presence risk saving God's word and it says he was baking with him so he got an extended time in presence.

He is risk saving God's word is communicating with God and follow him. Thing about the folks thought before you got on him. God had had made his that time together that expanded time in his word and communication with God so that no God was rubbing off on him and Israel noticed she had been with God.

Okay, we've all been to a wedding we've all seen the bride coming glorious as she is the veil that is covering is not done as much today as an older days, but still is covering you know there's glory, but the glory is somewhat vague yield it's hidden you can see how really beautiful she is. You complete the beauty of her dress. The exquisite walk down the aisle, the faces, he can't be seen its veiled he says Moses had to God's glory because it was diminishing, but he says in Christ, the veil is lifted and you see glory like you never dreamt so.

This raises the question.

This is a question I know this is a question how how do I get to know God, so that I know that I know him because he is rubbing off on me too versus they all come down.

These two verses 17 and 18 now the Lord is the spirit and let the spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty, freedom, victory, let me break the window okay here we go. First, he was resenting, but we all because there but we all translation whatever I'm getting ready to say next. You are not an exception to, but we all seek to Moses night you will read about anybody else's patient, Moses, you only buy in vials going up to the mountain but Moses don't rebuy in vials out of the veil in face. But Moses it wasn't, but we all it was, but Moses revealed one else got a look and see what God is doing what no K covenant with Moses he says we all words you get when Moses said, is not limited to Moses is not limited to super human beings is not limited to the special Christian is not limited to a certain clientele is not limited to a certain status symbol for certain economic way that may give you a exception you can know God and all spiritual you know we all you wish my brother so they seem so close. The God all this is level XX veiled thanks but we all without anything camouflage and God spoke to Moses face-to-face as a man speaking to a friend. In other words, there was no covering.

There will be people in the church in camouflage. See notes can camouflage us addresses your addresses can camouflage you can camouflage you can camouflage you because the impression you give when we come into the church is okay. Pretty little brother got good camouflage in the real world, paving church and miserable. My family and not getting along, making the child would be to break right now. Charge applies only well relate to people.

It will not help you relate to God to be changed so that you really don't know you, you come to with veiled face. No camouflage.

You can come and like everything is all right when it's not all right you can come talk to me like you are okay with me. And you know you're not okay with praise words and nice sounding side was on your heart. You can come to me with some general statements will you know that specific issues we need to deal with you to come clean with me… With veiled face.
