you jesus exodus chapter four exodus the fourth chapter thank you lord i'm beginning a little series today and next sunday the lord willing and i'm going to preach on sticks and stones this sunday sticks next sunday stones sticks of the bible and stones of the bible and they have prophetic messages for you and me exodus chapter 4 verse 2 so the lord said to him speaking of moses what is in your hand and he said a stick a rod a staff he said cast it on the ground so he cast it on the ground and it became a serpent and moses fled from it and the lord said to moses reach out your hand and take it by the tail and he reached out his hand and caught it and it became a rod or a stick in his hand one of the greatest miracles in the bible began with a stick in a man's hand when god called him to deliver for after 400 years of slavery and bondage the israelites out of egypt all that he had was a stick and maybe a pair of sandals and god said i'm going to use you but the problem was moses was moses was running from his calling he was hiding in the desert he was camouflaged from his calling and so god lit up a bush and it caught on fire and when the bush caught on fire he went to see why it was not consumed because it shouldn't just burn up but this bush was burning that's what i want i don't ever want to lose the fire i don't want to just be i don't want this church or this ministry to be for a moment and then be gone it doesn't have to be that way we don't have to lose it but there was a continual fire in that bush the bible said it was being burned but not consumed and the scripture said that moses went and the first thing a voice said to him out of that burning bush was take off your shoes in other words stop running from your calling stop running from what i've called you to do take your shoes off i want you to be my deliverer he was full of fear and he said god give me a sign i'll take my shoes off i'll stop running from the call i'm ready to take a risk i'm ready to fulfill and go after the dream that you've given me in my heart that i knew one day i would fulfill and i hear you saying this is it but i'm terrified i'm terrified about my next step and god said you want a sign i'll give you a sign what's in your hand he said all i have is this stick and god said throw it down and when he threw it down that simple ordinary common stick turned into something supernatural it became a living serpent a living snake and the bible said moses fled from it but then he realized god was calling him back because the voice said pick that snake up quit running come back and pick that snake up you know what god was saying he was saying that before you can fulfill and do what he wants you to do in life you're going to have to confront your fear he ran from the snake because he was afraid but god said it's time for you to confront your fear your intimidation it's time for you to realize that you must overcome fear or you will live in a state of being paralyzed from doing what i've called you to do sometimes god will ask you to confront your fear the fear of failure the fear of people the fear of of of of not trying you have to you have to try you have to risk and that's a fear that has to be overcome and then that stick that stick turned back when he grabbed that snake by the tail and overcame his fear and stopped running from his calling when he grabbed that snake by the tail it turned back into a stick that stick that looks so common so normal so ordinary they were all over the place sticks were all over the desert and yet god said i'm going to take what's in your hand and make it supernatural if you will surrender what you have been given by god god can take what seems ordinary common he's not looking for golden scepters he's not looking for superstars he's not looking for people who look like models or who are just extremely brilliant and super qualified but he looks when he's gonna do something for simple ordinary common sticks that he can take that he can use that he can put his glory on and it becomes something super natural super uh achieving and powerful because when you let go of it you take your fingerprints off of it you don't get the glory you don't get the praise you always remember that i was just a common ordinary normal stick until i gave it to god and he gave me the glory he gave me the victory he gave me the success and then when you pick it back up it turns back into an ordinary stick that's a powerful thing the bible said that sometimes all god wants is a stick and moses began to argue with god and god said i've already evaluated your excuses i already know what you're capable of notice god didn't say what is in your head because the miracle was not dependent upon his intellect god can always get you caught up and he did not say what is in your mouth because the miracle was not up to his ability to to be uh profound and proficient in in speech giving before multitudes god can teach you how to do that too when god's gonna start a miracle in your life he doesn't start with what you don't have in your head and what you don't have in the talent and in the gifting yet he starts with what you have in your hand he said give me what's in your hand all god needs is a stick and when they were standing at the red sea after god had brought them out and two and a half million jews have been delivered from egyptian bondage and he's standing before the red sea and pharaoh and his army are pursuing to recapture he takes that simple common ordinary stick and he holds it up and the supernatural power of god comes through that stick in his hand and the red sea parts and they go across on dry land because sometimes all god needs is a stick and when they got out into the wilderness and they had had nothing to drink for three days and the animals were dying and the people were almost at the point of dying and dehydrated he said moses god said god what are we going to do moses said god what are we going to do we're thirsting to death and the bible said there was a pool but it was the bitter water of maura and it was bitter it was poison and god showed him a tree and he said take a stick and put the stick in the water and this instantly god turned bitter water sweet because sometimes all god needs is a stick and when the widow woman in first king 17 was in the middle of a famine and she got down to her last meal and she was gathering sticks to make a fire and cook the last meal and feed it to herself and her little child and then she said i'm going to die and while she was gathering the sticks the ordinary the common she had a stick in her hand the prophet elijah walked up to her and said give me that meal and she gave him that meal even though she knew it was her last meal and god said your meal a barrel will never run low again and for the next three and a half years i'm gonna preach it like i want to she had pancakes every morning for breakfast and she had cornbread every evening from for dinner and for three and a half years she was putting on weight when everybody else was losing weight and all god needed to do the miracle in a famine was sticks when the acts head and the building program of the school of the prophets in second king six was going on and one of the boys was swinging the only ax that they had and the axe head flew off and went into the deep jordan river and sunk to the bottom the bible said the prophet uh walked over and grabbed a limb off of a tree and god said put the stick in the water and when he did the scripture said that the axe head began to swim and supernaturally it swam across the jordan river and jumped on that ax stick and he went right back to building the school of prophets because sometimes god doesn't need somebody spectacular god doesn't need somebody who's so super duper talented that nobody can relate he says i love to take ordinary you know if god's hand hadn't come on you you wouldn't be sensational but it's when his touch when his hand when his blessing when his favor when his anointing comes on you he can give you supernatural success give me a big amen right there and when god wanted to prove to an island that had never heard the gospel they were heathens they were idol worshipers and the apostle paul was shipwrecked and washed up on a plank in a prayer and when he got off he was shivering and these people were watching him and they knew nothing of of the god of abraham isaac and jacob and paul walked over there and the bible said as he was gathering sticks to make a fire to warm himself suddenly a serpent bit him and lastened and fastened onto his arm and would not let him go and the scripture said that he shook it off into the fire and the snake was burned up and when they saw the wood burning and saw him not puff up and die the whole island converted to christianity and all god needed was a stick and when god was ready to redeem the world he allowed his son to die on calvary on two sticks called a cross because all god needs is not pretty it's not beautiful it's not perfect he needs an old stick on top of another stick and when they come together they form a cross and jesus bled and died on those sticks and he's the friend that sticks closer than her brother now sometimes all god needs is a stick all god needs from you is exactly what you have to offer i'm preaching today it's time to quit thinking that you're inadequate it's time to quit saying i can't do it it's time to quit saying i can't have it it's time for you to stop saying you're too small and it's too big god said i can use you i will use you and all i need you to do is give me what you have in your hand moses moses knew that god had called him and he left that desert in that burning bush experience and he went before pharaoh and he had that stick and i bet he was gripping it tight and he looked at pharaoh with confidence and he said let my people go god says let my people go and pharaoh said well show me a sign of the power of your god and he took that stick and i think moses thought this is going to do the trick this is going to do the trick and i think when he threw it down he just had an attitude ah this is it right here i've been waiting for this all my life and he threw that stick down and just like in the desert it turned into something supernatural and sensational it became that common ordinary average stick became a living serpent and pharaoh yawned and called for his magicians and said that's a pretty good trick but i've got magicians he was not a magician moses was a prophet and it was the supernatural power of god but a magician is somebody who uses trickery the bible said they began to burn incense smoke smoke so they could do some things you know trickery trickery and they didn't have real snakes they had them encased in something and they came out and the magicians of pharaoh and they threw them down on the ground and the bible said their little sticks turned in to set snakes and and so pharaoh's saying well you don't impress me and this great i am this god who calls himself the i am that i am he does not impress me but all of a sudden something strange happened when that serpent was thrown down it sat over there in the corner and it watched those other ones out there wiggling around but it goes out and i don't know what kind of snake it was but it must have been a king snake because it started swallowing up all the other fake snakes i'm telling you the miracle started with one snake and it ended with one snake and this gospel started with one lord and it's gonna end with one lord he's going to swallow up all the lies and all the deceptions and all the faith and all the religions and all of that that in the church which is show he's swallowing it up something is coming out of this pandemic we are not playing church anymore the holy ghost power is ready to swallow up all of the stuff that's not real we better live right we better preach right we better tell it like it is and get ready for the glory of god to swallow up everything that's not like jesus in our lives all of the sudden when moses reached down after there was only one snake left and picked up that serpent wasn't that sensational wasn't that amazing in front of pharaoh and all the people his serpent eats them up now pharaoh's bug-eyed now he can't believe it now he's trembling a little bit his magicians have run off and the executors are executioners they're chasing them down because they're going to cut their heads off because pharaoh just got embarrassed and then he picks that snake up by the tail and the bible said it turned back into a stick again hallelujah god send the power back to the church send that kind of power and miracles back to the church whatever it takes people are lost we've got to have more than little churchy churchy little services where we just kind of go through play we need the power of god to swallow us up again will we leave here trembling at his word the most supernatural part of this story is not that the stick that was common in ordinary and average became sensational god can do that with anybody god could take somebody living under a bridge and bless them just as much as he's blessed you you need to thank him for the favor and the mercy and the goodness of god on your life the greatest miracle is not that god took an ordinary average stick and turned it into something supernatural and sensational and gave it supernatural success it swallowed up all its competitors all those all those that's right god said when my when god's favor is on you i'm telling you that nothing compares to that which is anointed and favored of god it stands out it takes over but the biggest miracle was not that the snake that the stick turned into a snake but that the snake turned back into a stick when he picked it up because too many times we have god use us and bless us mightily but instead of after the blessing after the supernatural success after the sensational thing god's done in your life if you're not careful you're not the same person when you pick it up that you were when you started out there's something that's gotten in the pride the arrogance that know it all seen it all somehow you begin to own that miracle as though it's you and your achievement and the thing about it that was so miraculous is the bible said moses was the meekest man that says this in the book of numbers he was the meekest man who ever lived and the reason god could trust him with such power is because he was the same after the miracle after the growth after the supernatural takeover after the demonstration he was the same person he was a stick before and now he's just a simple humble kind stick afterwards too many times we live in the realm of the sensational the supernatural the super successful and we think that that's that's the biggest thing but what god looks at is after he gives it to us can we still be common can we still need him do we still pray do we still come to church do we still seek his face is he still number one or or has our our our blessing become bigger than the blesser in our life and that's why it's so beautiful that this room is filled today with people because what you're saying is lord i recognize that i was nothing when you found me and you threw me down and you blessed me exceedingly abundantly above all that i could ask or think and now i want to tell you i don't need you less i need you more than i've ever needed you and i think about this church and i think about things that are going on in the body of christ and they shaped me to my core because so many ministries start out with nothing but a stick free chapel started out like a simple common ordinary church and god not man god has blessed it and multiplied it and done sensational supernatural things and it was when and when we were starting out we we loved god with all of our heart mind soul and strength we lived it we believed it we had convictions we had standards we we had holiness as a lifestyle i'm gonna preach it like i want to we threw our cigarettes away we threw our dope away we threw our partying away we threw our sinfulness and clubbing away but some people after god blesses them well i don't need that anymore i'm my own man i'm a self-made man you'll be nothing just like you started if you don't recognize what god has done for you and the same for this church i guess what i'm preaching is let's go back to just needing him when we come in here i can't let anybody worship from me i've got to worship i need him i need him the miracle sometimes is sometimes the most supernatural thing we can do is remain natural after god's blessed us and given us supernatural success that somehow it doesn't change our attitude it doesn't change who we are you're still compassionate you're still kind you're still sensitive you still live right come on church the more god blesses us the more the tendency to stray away that's why you have to keep coming to services like this where the holy spirit will get you thinking right and say now wait just a minute he's you know wait just a minute i need to straighten you up and straighten you out because i didn't give you all that just to be a big shot and a fat cat i have bless you and i will use you you gave it to me and i trusted you now let me use you clap your hands take a 20-second praise break and say lord i'll be a stick i'll be a common ordinary simple stink [Applause] hallelujah [Applause] in mark chapter 16 jesus said these signs shall follow them that believe they shall take up serpents and the next part of the verse is powerful and it will not hurt them serpents in moses day represented the supernatural power of god he said they'll do and take up the supernatural power of god and it will not hurt them how many churches how many ministries how many pastors how many preachers have we seen god use in supernatural ways and it ended up hurting them because they lost the ability after the sensational to just go back to being a common servant a common stick an ordinary average person oh god help us in this ministry to steward what god has given us and make sure that we finish strong that we're ready for the coming of the lord that we're pure in spirit undefiled unspotted hallelujah it's not supposed to hurt you when god blesses you it's not supposed to be the thing that satan gets to use to destroy you hallelujah this makes sense when he picked it back up it was the same as when it started can god trust you like that could god use you like that i can't find anywhere in the bible where god ever used a snake again i can't find it all he used was sticks because i can find when god was going to choose a high priest and all of the all of the tribes wanted their leader to be that high priest there were 12 tribes and god said i tell you what i'll do i'll choose one out of the 12 and the way you'll know that i chose them is i want all 12 of them to go take a stick off of almond tree take a branch and cut it down and write the name of your tribe on that stick and then bring it into the holy place and lay it on the god box the ark of the covenant and the one that gets cut down and comes back to life supernaturally and begins to bud almonds and begins to blossom that will be my choice the next day they came in and all those dead limbs were on there there were 11 dead limbs but one of them that had the name of aaron had come alive boy what what what a thought that it's supernaturally produced and it wasn't even connected to the earth which should be its source because the real source of life is god that god who sat on the mercy seat the real source of your success is not whatever you think is producing it if god pulls his presence out of your life it all dries up and it's nothing but a dead stick that's what scares me that's why i'm calling prayer meetings that's why i called seven people personally in this church and i said please surround me and surround charisse and surround my family in prayer will you promise me you will pray for us every day every day every day and these seven people for months have been praying and calling they send me little texts and they say we're praying we're praying the lord said and they tell me things that god says why because i'm afraid i don't want to do this if his presence is not with us it's dangerous these are dangerous times many are being deceived many are falling away but may it not happen to this congregation we must get on our knees again we must seek god like never before become a stick again knead him like you needed him when you had nothing but a stick some of you young people god could god could take you to the highest some of you athletes some of you in your field he could take you he wants to he desires to he needs you but the question is can he trust you the more he elevates will you just keep being faithful i close with this that ark of the covenant the bible said had three things in it god said i'll dwell between the cherubims and i'll sit on the throne of the mercy seat sprinkled with blood from a lamb he said i want you to put three things inside of the ark of the covenant i want you to put the tables of stone the ten commandments because in my presence i want people if they're going to come in my presence i want them to honor my word and love my word and live my word and hold fast to my word no matter what culture or anybody else says is right this book is right always right always always and then he said i want you to bring a pot of manna from the wilderness how i fed you with manna for 40 years i want you to put some of it in there when you get up in the morning moses put it in a little pot and put it in the ark of the covenant what's what's remarkable about that is the manna would only keep for 24 hours and your bible said it would turn worms would manifest in it because god didn't god wanted them to pray give us our daily bread daily even in the old covenant but when they brought it in listen to this and put it in the presence of god that which should have been moldy and that which should have been consumed with worms it stayed fresh the only way you're going to stay fresh in god the only way you're not going to become lukewarm the only way you're going to be on fire and be ready for the sound of the trumpet the only way is you've got to get in god's presence and he makes he makes this thing fresh again he makes the word come alive and you tremble at his word and i want to live that book and then he said i want one more thing he said go get me that stick aaron's rod that butted and bring it in here i don't want a snake i don't want anything sensational but i want to send a message to people that if they want to know what kind of people can get in my presence bring me that old stick i don't i don't want a sensational snake i want a stick a common ordinary stick that's in my hand the bible said that he resists the proud he holds at arm's length the proud that's literally what that word resists means to hold at arm's length when you walk in arrogant and proud god says get away from me but he gives grace to the humble humble yourself before the mighty hand of god and in due season he'll take that stick he'll blow it up it'll become sensational it'll become something that overcomes all the fakes and lies of the enemy swallows them up it'll have supernatural success as long as you lean on me and spend time in my presence i'm not asking you for what you can't give god what you're not capable of i'm asking you today to say lord here's what's in my hand i'm asking god to take this ministry in these last days we are in the last days surely you see that surely you understand that i've heard that all my life and you and you should but there's a difference the signs of the times they've all it's like birth pains jesus warned and he said it would be like birth pains and in birth pains you have one and then there's some distance one but he said when you start seeing it one after another after another and we just get through this and here's another thing another thing another thing look out lift up your heads but you know what i believe he's saying he's saying i need an army of sticks who will not be ashamed when's the last time the lord laid on my heart this week when's the last time you witnessed when i was talking with someone even in my family and the lord said to me in a gentle still small voice look for opportunities to witness look for opportunities to speak the word of the lord into those who are lost look for them wait for them search for them begin to approach people as my stick and i'll come on you and you'll become supernatural i want you to stand to your feet no one moving please at every campus every head bowed in every eye closed in this room and at every campus if you don't know that you're right with god and you're searching and you're longing for change and you need supernatural transformation you need supernatural transformation you need to go from a dead dry useless stick to supernatural transformation jesus said i have come to give life and give it more abundantly pastor pray for me i know i'm far from god and i need to get right with him today boldly raise your hand i want to see it all over this room yes yes yes yes yes fantastic raise it high and unashamed every campus lift them high lift them high lift them high every one of you that raised your hand slip out of your seat no matter where you are all the way up in the balcony wherever you are come and stand right down front just as quick as you can come i want you to come now now is the moment today is the day this is your altar call give him what you have in your hand he's not asking you for what you can't do you say well i can't stop this i can't change that he's not asking you to do nothing he's just saying come give me what you have in your hand come give me what you have to give me it may be broken it may be abused it may be hurt it may be some pain it may be an addiction but bring it to jesus bring it to him he will not turn you away come on thank you lord thank you lord thank you lord thank you thank you thank you come on come on come on

give me your life i'll transform it into something sensational beautiful forgiven cleansed shameless guiltless clean pure holy not through our works through the blood of the cross i want to do one other thing we're going to pray with these in just a moment but i want everyone in this room who would say pastor i would love for god to use me again i want to become a stick i just want to be a stick for god let me see your hand hold that hand up right now and just say oh god use me now i did something in the nine o'clock service that i didn't plan to do but two times this morning when i got up and then when i was in the pulpit concluding my message i saw it in a picture in my mind the lord said in my spirit have the people bow down to me on their knees i know there's a lot of people and
