Exodus ~ 4:1 to 4:31

back in our fathers word book of Exodus the coming out the going forth the LS mi in the Hebrew tongue mean these are the names and we just completed that chapter where God gives his name I am that I am in the Hebrew tongue a Austria which is the etymology of that sacred name hidden in the very manuscripts themselves in more than one book to lock in his name where it cannot be changed and how fascinating it is and he's instructed Moses to get on back down to Egypt he said and free the people that bring them out I hear their voices I hear their cries and Moses kind of has a little double take like I mean he's been herding sheep got in the desert he doesn't consider himself to be a spokesperson so he kind of kicks this around and it's alright if God tells you something and you want to get a little you want to know your credentials if you have it that is to say the ability to do it I get to you if God chooses you to do something you will have the ability he will see that you have it as a gift okay it's called charisma that's what the word gift is in the Greek tongue and charisma always comes through Korres that is to say so here we go with chapter four verse one Moses beginning to question a little bit and Moses answered and he said but behold was made here they will not believe me hearken into my voice for they will say the Lord hath not appeared into thee living Sam lying to him I I need a few more credentials before I blast off down here verse 2 and the Lord said to him what is in thine hand and he said the rod it's a shepherd's staff hook on the end of it you know that you can count the sheep or you can reach in and hook one dragged him out if there if it's the wolf in sheep's clothing verse three then he said cast it on the ground and he cast it on the ground and it became a serpent Moses fled from a before he drew back I mean it was a vicious looking thing God can do whatever he wants to verse four and the Lord said unto Moses put forth thine hand and take it by the tail and he put forth his hand caught it and it became a rod in his hand again and he a these are signs God is giving him I'm with you I could do whatever I want to you've got nothing to worry about this is one of the reasons when you begin to go forth with God's Word and he gives you the ability he's always going to furnish you with what you need you know what they call that faith if you have the faith to know he's going to give you the truths then you're in good shape just keep plowing verse 5 that they may believe that the Lord God of their fathers are the God of Abraham the god of Isaac and the God of Jacob had appeared unto thee these are signs so that they will know verse 6 and the Lord said furthermore unto Him put now thine hand into thy bosom and he put his hand into his bosom and when he took it out behold his hand was lepers leprosy as snow it was bad that disease hit him now understand this this couldn't remain because a leper no way could accomplish what Moses had to do because he has to go near people and the leper can't go to your people there's just a little point of law we're throwing in here and verse seven and you said put that hand into thy bosom again and he put his hand into his bosom again plucked it out of his bosom and behold look at it it was turned again as his other flesh and and so it was you could not go wrong with pleasing God in God's Word these are simply signs for Moses a carrier of sheep - no I'm wicked man you don't have to worry about the world you don't have to worry about anything else I'm not still on the throne I'm sending you in the story verse eight n and eight reads and it shall come to pass if they will not believe thee now there hearkened to the voice of the of the first sign that they will believe the voice of the latter saying I'll rough him up he's already told Moses I'm gonna harden Pharaoh's heart he's not gonna listen to you the first time verse nine and it will come to pass if they will not believe also these two signs now the hearken unto thy voice that thou shalt take of the water of the river and pour it upon the dry land and the water which thou take us out of the river shall become blood upon the dry ground dry land so it was now all these signs God is showing Moses but listen carefully and Moses said in the Lord o my heart I'm I'm not eloquent another hitter force in or since that has spoken to thy servant but I am slow of speech and of a slow tongue I'm not a man of a lot of words and you're sending me on this mission to free thousands of people from the kingdom in Egypt this is Cadillacs sale order you sure you know what you're doing who it is you're sending this is it's okay to ask for reassurance but once God gives it to you you want to be real careful because pretty soon you can take him off he knows what you've got he knows what's in your tank and he knows for our people that you have compassion that you have the ability when it's necessary for it to come forth because the Holy Spirit will always speak through those that need that help that are delivered even if you would in the end times which we have coming before too long the Holy Spirit does the talking not man but Moses just simply saying I'm I'm not I'm not an eloquent man I haven't got any fancy words I've been out here herding sheep I know how to talk to them and being a good shepherd maybe that's what the world needed at that time mercy lemon to continue and the Lord sitting to him who had made man's mouth or they make up the dumb or death or the seeing of the blind or the blind have not I the Lord he did not mean that he had caused these hardships to come upon them but he had made the man that had said I made them all what he's getting at here is I can make whatever I want to verse 12 now therefore go and I will be with thy mouth and teach thee what thou shalt say and verse 13 and he said o my lord send I pray thee by the hand of him whom thou with sinned he's talking about Messiah that that was predicted to come that the Messiah would come stead of sending me send them aside in the Son of God well no you can go forward and have to make God angry and this disel just about trigger it Moses was a type of Messiah Moses was a type of Savior he was he was drawn from the water he had been in Pharaoh's house for forty years he herded sheep with them with Jethro for forty years near he's 80 years old and God's telling him you're ready you're going and Moses still he's trying to back out see so don't ever go too far that's a warning verse 14 and the anger of the Lord was kindled against Moses he said is not Aaron the Levite thy brother they were naturally both brothers both the sons of Levi man and woman deliver both Levi's that means a priest yes I know that he can speak well and also behold he cometh forth to meet thee and when you see it the he will be glad in his heart I'll even have him leave Egypt were there in captivity and I'll have him meet you on the way he'll greet you we'll let him do part of the talking just to bolster you up a little bit but see God was not going to trust him not he could trust him but he was angry you can push our Father too far by asking for signs or proofs of something if he gives you that that initiative you want to be real careful 15 and thou shalt speak unto him and put words in his mouth I will be with thy mouth and with his mouth and will teach you what you shall do I'm gonna tell you I'm by controlling your mouth what you're going to say to him and his mouth is gonna speak it he is eloquent okay verse 16 and he shall be thy spokesman unto the people and he shall be Eve even he shall be to thee instead of a mouth and thou shall be to him instead of God in other words you're going to put words in his mouth directly from God through Moses himself and and so here they depend on each other we got two witnesses here one backs the other up but there's more than two witnesses it's God causing it to happen you know this is where our people mess up also many times here here they're going to spend 40 years in the wilderness pretty soon because we had some stubborn peoples and they're still giants out there I know we can see them they couldn't because God had removed in there just happened to be an old it said the Giants backbone it's the name of the mountain right there across the border that's what they saw fighting them to death and they had to pay dearly for it you couldn't you can make our Father very angry if you're obstinate so the mission comes first God's word comes first this is why you want to always absorb it and know if God is in it you've got nothing to worry about it's going to come to pass as he so illustrates as he so designs he is a fantastic father and and well always he will he'll never depart from you but a lot of people will depart from him before the end verse 17 to continue and thou shalt take this rod in baingan were wit thou shalt do signs you hang on to it it is a sign for you a sign of strength of leadership sign of a shepherd bringing the Sheep right on the back out of home the sheep of Israel say teen and Moses written returned to Jethro his father-in-law this was the media night priest and he said unto Him let me go I pray thee in returning to my brethren which are in Egypt and see whether they be yet alive and Jethro said to Moses go in peace Jethro being a median priest which means he was as we went to length in the last lecture he's not an Ethiopian he simply had had moved to the land of Ethiopia had set up for a shepherd's camp they and but he as you find in Genesis chapter 25 and when Abraham married a second time he married could cateura then median was a son of Abraham by cateura therefore he was an Adamic soul and therefore naturally he would he would recognize God being a priest himself and he would obey one of God's wills and naturally he loved Moses Moses had gained him much property while he drove the Kenites away from the watering gulfs and away from the main herd of sheep and took care of them quite well he was a regular warrior Shepherd so he was not the shy person when he stood up against maybe a group of twenty and laid that staff to them driving them away from that well and in other places that they would meet he was not a wimp by any means so be cautious in judgments verse 19 and the Lord said unto Moses in media go return into Egypt all the men are dead which sought thy life you don't have a thing in the world to worry about the fair that were to kill you he's dead and gone the people that witnessed you killing the Egyptian they're gone so God is assuring him you've got nothing to worry about when God sends you on a mission he clears the deck time makes it possible verse 20 and Moses took his wife and his sons and he set them on an ass and return to the land of Egypt and Moses took the rod of God in his hand a simple Shepherd staff you know God loves shepherds they feed the flock the flock belongs to God he cares about the flock it's a simple life but then God makes things simple that's why you always want to study in the simplicity in which our Heavenly Father and the Lord Jesus Christ teach in that way you don't get muffed up or muddled in the cross roads that are said entrapments said that by the would be so called Shepherds bring one and the Lord said unto Moses when thou goest to return into Egypt see that thou do all those wonders before Pharaoh which I have put in thine hand but I will harden his heart and he shall not let the people go whoa why are you gonna do that God you're sending me down there outnumbered and you are purposely going to harden his heart this shows you how much faith got headed Moses verse 22 and thou shalt say unto Pharaoh thus saith the Lord Israel is my son even my firstborn verse 23 and I say unto thee let my son go he may serve me and if thou refuse to let him go behold I will slay thy son even thy firstborn and this ultimately would come to pass but there's one thing kind of that Moses is forget about integra forgetting because he's been 40 years in this place 40 years he was in learning the way of the Egyptian and but yet at the same time knowing the way of the Hebrew here he spends 40 years with Jethro a priest and not out learned much there but he's forgetting the same thing and God will be very disappointed in him what is it next verse we'll find out verse 24 and he came to pass by the way in the end that the Lord met him sucked killing here he's got Moses picked out now he wants to kill him then there is a reason for this and and you will find it Genesis 17 verse 14 and the uncircumcised man child whose flesh of his foreskin is not circumcised that soul shall be cut off from his people he had broken my covenant and and so it was naturally that law no more that will no longer applies playing well Christ did away with all blood sacrifices and circumcision was bloody and now circumcision is for both man and woman it is of the heart and loving the Lord Jesus Christ who paid that awesome price on the cross but at this time here this one Moses who knew better or God would not be angry at him he just forgot to take care of business he forgot to protect his own sons when God is sending to predict all of his sons the God doesn't like that he's ready to do him in then Zipporah that's his wife took a sharp stone and he cut off the and she and cut off the foreskin of her son and cast it at his feet and said surely a bloody husband looked out to me I mean she of course wasn't used to this tradition either verse 26 so he let him go yo-ho they our Heavenly Father let Moses go then she said a bloody husband thou art because of the circumcision but yet it was law and was quite necessary at that time but then it would be replaced by the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ on that cross a cross that paid for a lot of sin because he was able to be a perfect sacrifice whereas you're not quite frankly but but it did do away there there's nothing wrong with circumcision for hydrogen for hydrogen purposes but it for the need of hydrogen I should say but but it isn't necessary biblically spiritually nor otherwise verse 27 and the Lord said to Aaron go into the wilderness to meet Moses and he went and you met him in the Mount of God and kissed him and here again how would how would he know where they were how would he know the timing on this and I hope you noticed God arranged it this is whatever undersell our Heavenly Father that's called faith again and faith without works is dead but when you work with faith God approves and he will lead you and you have the faith to know whatever work it is that he gives you it is necessary it is prosperous for gaining souls it is the work of the Living God and it will always be successful no he told him that Aaron would meet him how did he know that he do it because he was the one that was going to send him and Aaron certainly would listen to God because he being a little evite priest himself knew of what leadership is and naturally in this world we only have one true leader and that has yaver I am that I am the Living God of Israel the whole house the whole house of Israel the whole feeling of Israel and the two brothers meant they were happy to see each other 28 and Moses told Aaron all the words of the Lord who had seen him and all the signs which he had commanded him 29 and knows us an errand written gathered together all the elders of the children of Israel and here's where it will kind of give a little tough here we have these people who have rigorously I mean the only rigor set in to make them strive and work and form the brick which will get worse before it gets better and they're going to persuade them yes we two men with God's help we're going to free you so there's going to be they're going to be all happy about it certain of them will but every little thing goes you and you can have some dropouts along the way and in opposition which makes it more difficult than ever I suppose it's God's Way of pruning people sometimes you have to know who is who and what is what who you can depend on who you can count on and you had better not count on who is not dependable and therefore but God has a purpose for many many people it isn't all the same purpose it is not our right to judge anyone or what it is God would have them do not to argue with that whatsoever but to simply follow the plan of God and accomplish what he instructs you you to bring forth now present how perfect it is but when you gather the elders and you have the whole bit together then you're getting somewhere that's what that is to say when you add that meaning you probably have some trouble verse 30 and Aaron spake all the words which the Lord had spoken unto Moses and did the signs in the side of the people now this would be impressing the signs being the signs God had Moses do with the staff the rod I'm sure I'm sure they were impressed on you I'm sure I mean all the hardship the BRIT making and everything else that now that God had sent this the type of Savior that they would feel real good for a while until opposition comes along and you know you can always nothing is ever real easy you are capable though of accomplishing the work with God's help regardless of how complicated it might get doesn't like quitters and God never promised us any Rose Garden in accomplishing things he knows there's trouble in the world and he knows you know how to handle it so handle it God probably cannot use wimps or why well who would want to listen to a wimp okay what what possible strength could you draw from some wimp how would that pick you up to have some limp encouraging you you know well what would he be saying it wouldn't be pretty okay it would not be encouraging it would be doubt doubt just like old doubting Thomas doubt everything worry worry worry doubt doubt doubt wimp wimp wimp and God can't use somebody like that don't ever think that Moses was only half like I'm illustrating before he could take that staff before God ever giving the gift and he could work quite well with it when it comes to dealing with the Kenites a good field of practice that he was able to maintain thirty ones who complete the chapter and verse thirty one reads and the people believed and when they heard that the Lord had visited the children of Israel and that he had looked upon their affliction then they bowed their heads and worshiped and that's wonderful now let's talk about this a moment because signs are a fantastic thing I want to at the same time giving you a little word of encouragement there's a people that are waiting for the second Advent and they're looking for someone that can show signs guess who is the first person on the scene that performs signs and miracles and the side of man it's easy to impress people snaps his fingers and the fire comes down from heaven lightning I mean at any given moment Bay huh no that's pretty hard to talk against pretty hard for someone to stand against that will the people believe it you bet they saw it but they saw the negative of what we're reading here they saw Antichrist performing signs and miracles and people are pretty easy to speak to be snowed to be lied to this is why Christ would say in mark 13 we just finished teaching don't let man deceive you for many will come in my name meaning they're claiming to be Christ and a bunch of fakes that's what he's talking about so yes in this case they saw the miracles and they believed and they were anxious but at the same time for you in this generation listen carefully this was a this was a deliverer for that time we have a deliverer coming but there's a fake deliverer coming first beware of signs and miracles and know the real from the faults all right bless your arch you this in a moment won't you please
