Deuteronomy Pt 3

We will start. Let's about her, gracious Father. We thank

you for your goodness, your mercy tonight. We thank you

because of who you are and for what you've done

for us. We thank you for this night of coming together,

for how you're going to bless us through your word.

Take us through your word, acknowledge everything that needs to

be acknowledging our spirits in Jesus' name. Amen. All right,

those of you that are taking notes should remember and

hope I am not going back to last week. I'm

moving forward. So if you need the notes before that,

we can actually send them to you because I have

a whole stack of notes. This is the story of Moses.

That's what we got to realize. This is the story

of Moses and the story of the children of God.

They'll call the children of Israel, but they're the children

of God. And so the first five books, which is

the Pentethik, we know the Books of Moses. It's where

Moses established law. But it is also Moses's covenant, or

the Mosaic Covenant. There are seven covenants. We won't go

with those tonight. I'll try to put those in the

notes that we're gonna put in your hands. There's seven covenants.

There is it Adamic Covenant, and I said, wasn't gonna

name them, just so you know. But then this's the

Abraham Covenant. Then we come to the Mosaic Covenant. So

this is the covenant that deals with the law. So

it deals with the law of God, it deals with

the rules of God. It is back by several books.

Some people actually say that Moses stole a lot of

what he's saying from other writings. And again I'll put

that in the notes so that you have them, because

there are official writings. But we look at the Tau,

which is the Hebrew Bible. Lady Howard Toro, first five books,

that's the Hebrew Bible. That's the Hebrew Bible. They don't

embrace any more of the Bible, just those books that

are ascribed to Moses. Okay, so when they look at

their Bible, they don't have the King James version, they

don't have sixty six books. They basically look at the

five books of the Torah as their Bible, as they

are binding as their law. And those are only Old

Testament books that don't embrace the New Covenant. They only

embrace the Old Testament in the first five books. So

that's what this story is. It is about Moses, and

it is about what God chose Moses. I want you

to think of Moses, as I said last week, as

the pastor. I want you to think about the people

coming out of Israel as the congregation. So this is

a pastor trying to get his people to do what

God says. It is in the beginning, so it is

very It makes everybody nervous because it's the beginning. God

is speaking. He has the largest congregation. He starts out

with six million people, then he has two million people,

and finally only two enter into the Promised Land. So

with that we're looking at Moses as the pastor. I

want you to look at Aaron, who is the brother

of Moses, as the assistant pastor, who when Moses goes

on top of the mountain to hear from God. Because Moses,

being the pastor, is the only person God talked to

face to face, Aaron was left in charge the congregation

as the assistant pastor. But being left in charge of

the congregation as the assistant pastor, he started listening to

the people and defied what the leader had said. So

this is also a lesson not only about pastoralship a

congregation a church. This is a lesson about how to

lead and what not to do as a leader, because

we also have to deal with which is not in

this book, but in the previous chapter, and we've talked

about a Miriam. Miriam is the sister of Moses who

gets upset because Moses marries a burnt face woman. And

when Moses marries his burnt faced woman, she is the

typical member of the congregation that when the pastor does something,

and especially because she is his sister, she wants to

correct him. God didn't tell her to correct them, that

she takes on that role herself. So you got Miriam,

you got Aaron, You got Moses, who's the pastor. Aaron

who's the sister pastor Miriam, who's the sister of the pastor.

You have the congregation. You have Jeththrow who is the

father in law of Moses, who teaches Moses how to

break down the congregation because if they're going to be serviced,

He says, what needs to happen is in servicing them,

you need to break them down. In companies of fifty

in companies of twenty five, then plays over them a judge,

and let that judge deal with them and deal with

their situations so that all of the big problems don't

come to you. Moses says something, and I think, especially

if you're on here and you are a pastor, if

you're on here and you are a prophet, if you're

on here and you are a minister, that we need

to pay close attention to. Moses says, the biggest problem

any pastor has is when they take time to deal

with the cares of life. Moses says it, Paul says

it in a New Testament. You're gonna find it several

other places in the Bible. So it is believed that

a pastor should never have to deal with the small stuff,

the cares of life. The pastor should be free to

hear from God, to pray on behalf of the people,

and number three, to be able to give a word

of life to the people. So they should be free

to not worry about day to day cares, but to

give spiritual advice, to give a word from God and

to you know, that's that's preaching, that's teaching, that's the

whole nine yards. So that that's the concept we're dealing

with Deuteronomy. We skip Exodus and went straight to Deuteronomy.

Because here now three times the children have been granted

an opportunity to go into the Promise. And I don't

want to call it the promised Land. I want you

to think of it like God taking you out of

bondage into your promise. Because all of us are on

our way somewhere. All of us are going somewhere, so

God is trying to take us to the promise. But

there's always something that hinders. And we know their biggest

which is where we left off in which we're going

back to. We're going back to. First number twenty one

of chapter number two is a win two two excuse

me one because the people have gotten caught up because

they murmured and complained, they spent time. I also want

us to understand this is as much a lesson about

faith than it is anything else. This is about faith.

This is about trusting the man of God. Chapter one

about trusting the Man of God, and at the same

time it is about having faith in God or faith

in God's man. We say this and this is the

principle prerequisite for any leader. You won't have problems with

people following you as long as they can tell your

following Christ. Let me say that again. You won't have

problems with people following you as long as people can

tell you are following Christ. Husbands say to that wife,

follow me as I follow Christ. Pastors say, follow me

as I follow Christ. Leaders say, follow me as I

follow Christ. Whenever someone gets out of the word of God,

out of the will of God, you are no longer

obligated to follow them. But as long as they're following God.

And how do you know I hear somebody, how do

you know you they following God. A tree is known

by the fruit that it bears. We can tell it.

We can tell whether or not a person is in

tune to God. And God holds in prominence who you follow,

because you cannot follow anybody. We see that whatever we

see that with we see that with Miriam, we see

that with Jeff throw. You can't follow everybody because everybody

is not ordained to be a liberator. Everybody is not

ordained in order to be a leader. Everybody. And I

know some people say, well, some people are born to

be leaders. Not everybody is born to be a leader.

So you have to either be a liberator or a reformer.

Every person on this life tonight or on this zoon

is either a leader or a reformer. You can be

both a leader and a reformer reformer. Basically, God has

sent you to go against the grain and to change

everything that is in a person's mind. So let's go

to the Scripture, Chapter one, verse twenty one, Behold the

Lord thy God, and you should have your Bible. I

behold the Lord that God, and they're going to make

the guide available. I think on this Sunday they'll let

us know at the end of this Behold the Lord

that God has set the land before thee, go up

and possess it, as the Lord thy Father have said

unto thee, fear not, neither be dismayed. And if you

have a highliner, you should highlight that in your Bible,

because the Lord is going to say several times in

this book. This is one of the key verses, fear not,

neither be dismayed. And you don't have to fear if

you're following God. Okay. Verse twenty two. You came near

onto me, every one of you, and said, we will

send men before us, and they shall search us out

the land and bring us a word again. By the way,

we must go up into what city will shall come.

So this goes back to numbers Chapter thirteen, verses one

through thirty three, when they sent the spies up and

they came back with a good report. However, everybody did

not embrace him, and they took the food of the

land in their hands and brought it down unto us

verse twenty five, and brought a word to us again

and said it is a good land. Notice what they said.

They immediately said, it is a good land which the Lord,

our God gives us. So this is the first opportunity.

We're in chapter one, So this is the first opportunity.

Chapter one, verse number twenty six. We stopped at twenty seven,

but I just went where on top of it, so

we didn't get lost. So this is the first opportunity.

They have to trust not only the man of God,

because the man of God said, God has given to

us a promise. We need to possess it, but to

also believe in God. And as pastors and leaders, we

shouldn't get offended because sometimes it's not us that they're

rebelling against. And that's what Moses, the Lord keeps saying.

To Moses, they have not offended you, they have not

disobeyed you. They have disobeyed me because they should have

seen God in their leader verse twenty seven. And you

murmured in your tents and said, because the Lord hates us,

he has brought us forth out of the land of

Egypt to deliver us into the hand of the Amirits

to this deray us so immediately, that is doubt. They

introduced doubt. The only reason why the Lord brought us

out here is because they Hey, now this is generated

by the enemy speaking in their spirit. But they should

have very well been able to counter against it and

not believe that their God would not let their clothes

wear out for forty years, not let their shoes wear out,

or have any holes in it, feed them, take care

of them. But now he has them on the threshold

of what he has promised, and he's not able to

deliver it. And that's the same trick. Saytan will constantly

try to play with us. God promise you a husband,

but he ain't came yet. God promise you this, but

it ain't came. God promised you a house, but it

had materialized. God, So we see the same repetitious lie

being told. But all things are possible if you believe them.

All things are possible if you believe them. So the

enemy has to constantly fight against our faith. He does

not want you to trust God. He does not want

you to trust the word that's being told. He does

not want you to believe what God is saying. So

verse twenty eight, whether shall we go up? Our brother

will have discourage our hearts. There will always be somebody

in the crowd to discourage you. There will always be

somebody in your life to tell you you're not in

the right place. There will always be somebody in life

to try to tell you or make you feel like

they're deeper than you. Their communication with God is stronger

than yours. And you have to be careful because that's

what happened when the men came back. Some say we're

like grass, we don't need to go over there. Some says,

let's go, we'll will, let's do it, and let's do

it today. So you're always gonna have that contrast throughout

the whole Bible. That's why the New Testament talks about faith. Okay,

Verse twenty nine, Then I said, unto you dread not

neither be afraid of them. Don't be afraid of what

is occupying, what God's getting ready to place in your hands,

the Anakims, the amlicit. Don't be afraid of any group

of people. These are the enemy of God set to

deter your faith. Doesn't matter if they're giants, it doesn't

matter if they're a large statue. Don't worry about it.

God says. If God says, go, go, If God says

you can possess it, possess it. If God says, take

it at once. He will never say anything to you

that He has not giving you the ability and the

capability to do. Verse thirty. The Lord your God was

going before you, he shall fight for you. This is

still prevalent today. Some scripture is written to us, some

scripture is written for us, and some scripture is about us.

This scripture is still prevalent, and it holds true not

only to physical Israel, but to spiritual Israel, which is us.

The Lord your God goes before you, he will fight

for you according to all that he did for you

in Egypt before your eyes. So he's saying to them.

There are some parts of the Bible where the Lord

says don't remember the past. But there are some parts

of the Bible, and this is one of those verses

where the Lord says, remember, remember what I did for

you when you were in Egypt. I kept you safe

in Egypt. And if I'm keeping you safe in Egypt,

I'm surely able to keep you safe now. I'm surely

able to do what I promise. So he wants us

to remember what I did for you in the past

so you can gain faith in the future. Faith comes

by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Faith

comes by experiences. I've seen him do it, and if

He did it before, that's why we overcome by the again.

This is a scripture that is dictated again later. We

overcome by the word of our testimony and by the

blood of our lamp. I know he can heal. I

know he can deliver. How because I heard the testimony

given by Mother. I heard the testimony give it by

one of the elders. I heard the testimony to give

him by one of the ministries. And if God did

it for her, surely he can do it for me.

So faith, this is the way he's saying, Think about

what God did in your past. Think of what God

did in Egypt. If he did it in Egypt, he's

certainly able to do it now Verse thirty one. And

in the wilderness, I want you to highlight circle underline

do something to the word wilderness. Because we have contrive

it that wilderness is a bad place. I come to

tell you that the wilderness is not a bad place.

The wilderness is a buffer. The wilderness is a place

of preparation. The wilderness is a filter before you get

the promise. Behind every wilderness, there is a promised land.

Behind every wilderness, there is a promise. So always don't

get discouraged by the wilderness. No, something good has to

follow the wilderness because God uses the wilderness to filter out.

God uses the wilderness to shake us up. There are

certain behaviors that could not go into the promised Land,

certain attitudes that cannot go. So in order for God

to do what he really wants for you, you're gonna

have to lose something. The wilderness is where we lose

it because it's the filter. It is the buffer between

the Lord is saying you can't carry this behavior into

the promised Land. So I'm gonna let you go through

the wilderness until you get this behavior out. You can't

carry this attitude into your promise. So I'm gonna have

to let you go through the wilderness until you get

this out. You can't you can't take grumbling, murmuring, complaining

into the wildness. I'm gonna have to let you get

it out. You can't take a lack of faith into

the promised land. So I'm gonna have to take you

in the wilderness. So you basically determine how long you

stay in your wilderness. Some people stay for forty years.

But remember it is only an eleven day journey. So

in the wilderness where thou hast seen, how what the

Lord thou God barrin thee So even in your wilderness,

God took care of you. Even in your wilderness, he

was Jehovah, Jirah, Jehovah Jirah, the Lord that provides. He

still provided for you even though you were in the wilderness. Okay,

So God worthy as a man duff his son in

all the way that you went until you came into

this place. Yet in this thing you still don't believe God.

So what most of the saying here is, it's upsetting

God that you've seen him do all of these things.

It's upsetting God that he's made away. It's upsetting God

that he's given you miracles. It's upsetting God he gave

you what you wanted to eat when you didn't want bread, Manda,

that he gave you a quail. It's upsetting God that

after all God's done for you, you still don't believe him.

Verse thirty three. Who went in the way before you

to search you out of place to pitch your tents.

And what he did was he sent them a pillow

of cloud by day that was to shield them and

protect them from the sun, and a pillar of fire

by night. The pillow of fire was to allow them

to still have the warmth and the comfort that they needed,

so they wouldn't get cold because they didn't have cold. Okay,

so he's reminding them. And then he prepared at a

place in all this wilderness, so you can pitch your

tents since you cloud pill a cloud by day, pill

of fire by night. The fire also has a double

connotation because fire can be judgment, fire can burn out.

We say the Lord is, according to these five books,

a consuming fire, so he can be the fire, but

he can also be the fire. That burns in the bush,

and it does not burn up the bush. So fire

has more than one connotation. In the New Testament, fire

is the symbol of the Holy Spirit or the comforter,

because the pillow of fire is the same thing that

God sends to protect them Verse number thirty five. Surely

there shall not one of these men of this equal

generation see the good land. So now he's warning them

God has been sifting us out because he's not gonna

allow not one of the evil men of this generation.

And remember this is the second generation, see the good

land which I swore to give unto your father. So

he's speaking on behalf of God. But then he says,

save Caleb, because there are two people who went in

saw it and had faithful enough to believe God. We've

got to be one of the two. Caleb, who's the

son of to the fun he shall see it, and

to him I will give the land that he have

trotted upon to his children because he hath wholly followed,

or that word right there really should be saying he

has wholly with our whole heart believe God. Caleb Howard's

Hebrew name means whole hearted, faithful, bold, brave, one. So

he's only one of the two that God allows to

actually enter into the Promised Land because he was faithful, wholehearted, bold,

and brave Verse thirty seven, Chapter one. Also the Lord

was angry with me for your sake, saying that also

shall not go in thither. So this is the Lord

speaking to Moses. So now the Lord's telling Moses, you

ain't going in. You're gonna take them to it, but

you're not going in. So the Lord's upset with them

because Moses the pastor, has been trying to convince them

and they still aren't listening. Okay, Verse thirty eight of

chapter one. But Joshua, the son of None, So Joshua

is the person that's going to go in because Joshua

and Caleb were the two spies, and they actually enter in.

We're gonna see that later on in the Bible. But Joshua,

the son of Land, which stood before thee, he shall

go in thither. Encourage him, for he shall cause Israel.

He shall cause Israel. This one man is gonna cause

Israel to inherit it, to inherit what God says. This

one man is gonna cause Israel to inherit what God says,

all it takes is one. Joshua's Hebrew name means God

is my salvation. He's the other person who was allowed

to possess the promise. God is my salvation. So they

both have Hebrew names because they are Hebrews. Ah Verse

thirty nine. Were your little ones we look at our time. Okay, moreover,

your little ones, which you say shall be a pray,

your children, which in that day had no knowledge between

good and evil, they shall go in thither unto them

will I give it, and they shall possess it. So

not only with these two men, but their children, because

they had no knowledge between good and evil, they shall

go in also, and I will give it to your children,

the little small children Verse forty But as for you,

turn ye and take your journey into the willness by

the way of the Red sea. So he's telling the

rest of them to basically cling leave verse thirty forty one.

Then you answer this sent up to me, we have

sinned against the Lord. We will go up and fight

according to all that the Lord God has commanded us.

And when you have girded on every man his weapons

of war, you were ready to go up unto the

heel The only problem with this first first number forty

one is it's too late. God has given them so

many chances. Now they want to put on their garments,

they want to put on their war gear. But God

is saying it's too late because at this point he's

giving them time at the time Verse forty two. And

the Lord said them to me, saying to them, go

not up. So God said, I only want you to

go up. Neither fight if I'm not among you. In

other words, if you fight this battle, you're gonna be

fighting on your own. Because I kept telling you over

and over I'm with you, I'm with you, but you

did not. So I guess a key word right here,

and everybody should write it in your notes is obedience. Obedience.

Because they had the opportunity to obey God and did not.

It ticks God off when we don't obey him. We

know Isaiah says, if you be willing and obedient, you

shall eat the good of the land. We know that.

First Samuel chapter fifteen says that rebellion is as the

sin of witch craft. In other words, if you're rebellious,

you might as well be a witch. He says rebellion

is as the sin of witchcraft. So God does not

like it when we're rebellious, when we're disobedient, And here

God is saying no, no, no, no, Our merciful God

is saying, I gave you chance after chance to do

what I said. And whether we want to admit it

or not, God does get tired. Now, we gotta be

careful with that statement, because some others get a God

is tired. No, God ain't tired. You tired. God is tired.

God is tired of the way. God is tired of

how we at. God is tired because we starting service, lad, No,

God ain't tired, you're tired. We can't make the mistake

of what God is being tired with saying that God

is tired when he's not so okay, Verse forty three,

Chapter one. So I spake up to you. You were

not here, but you rebelled against the commandments of the

Lord and went presumptually up into the hill. In any

where you start going your own way, she have to

be led, she must be lead. And so when sheep

are not being led, they are being goats because goats,

but goats try to find their own way. She have

to go and be led by the steal water or

they won't drink. Sheep have to have grass. I was

somewhere and they use the thing I got from Pastor Burkes.

Them and their church said, if you want sheep, say

you don't have to steal. Oh the lady Sunday night.

She said, you don't have to steal sheep. I gotta

do is grow grass. If you grow grass, sheep will come.

You don't have to steal sheep from nobody else's ministry.

You have to steal sheep from nobody else. Grow green

grass and sheep will come, okay. Verse forty four. And

the Amorites was dwelt in the mountain, came out against

you and chase you as bees do, and destroyed you.

They chased them and destroyed them because they would not

do it God's way. They didn't listen. It is important

to move when God says, move, to act when God

says act, to behave like God wants us to behave.

In is our safety. Verse forty five. And you return

and wept before the Lord. But the Lord would not

hearken into your voice nor give ear unto you, because

you were not doing what he's saying. I know I'm

reading that in nor give ear to you because you

would not obey him. As long as we obey him,

that's gonna be success. So your bold in Kadesh. Remember,

whenever we see Kadesh, that means they're right there on

the threshold of the promise. You are bold in Kodesh

many days. According into the days that you're bold there,

then it takes us into chapter two, which we can

actually start it. So then we turn and took our

journey into the wilderness by the way of the Red Sea. Remember,

the wilderness is not a bad place. The wilderness is

the place of preparation. The wilderness is a buffer. The

wilderness is a funnel. It's trying to get everything out

because before you can go into the promise, God cannot

allow you to take certain things into the promise. Okay,

So I would turn into the wildness by the way

of the Red Sea, as the Lord spake unto me,

And we can pass Mount Seer many days, and the

Lord spoken to me saying, you have come passed this

mountain long enough. You've been going in circles. Good message

to preach preachers. You got me going in circles. You

have been going in circles too. Long, and the Lord says,

I'm ready for you to go forward verse four of

chapter two. And he commanded thou that the people saying

you are to pass through the coast of your brother,

the children of Issac, Isaiah or Isai, which dwell and seer,

and they shall be afraid of you. Take eve good

heed unto yourselves. Therefore verse five, meddle not with them.

So God tells them who to deal with and who

not to deal with. These are the eat They were

once with Israel, but now they have turned against Israel.

Everybody who is Israel's enemy used to be with them. Okay,

metter not with them, for I will not give you

of their lands. So I'm not gonna give you the

land of the Eedamites, and not so much as a

foot breath, because I have given Mount Seer onto Isael

for a possession. So sometimes the Lord promises certain places

to certain people, but he promised them they could go

through it. Verse six. You shall buy meat of them

for money. I will allow you to buy meat that

you may eat. And you shall also buy water of

them for money that you may drink. Verse seven. For

the Lord your God have blessed thee We can take

this to ourselves. For the Lord, your God have blessed

THEE in all the works of thy hand. He know

if thy walking through his great wilderness these forty years,

and the Lord have been with Thee, and thou hast

you really need to highlight, underline put stars beside this

last two words, thou hast lacked nothing. How can people

who have lacked nothing be at a place that they

don't trust God? How can people whom God has given

them everything prepared the way for them, and that's done

all this thing? How can these people who God has

lacked nothing still be at a place where they don't believe?

Somebody should say that sounds like us okay verse eight,

And that's what will stop tonight. And when we pass

by from our brother and the children of his hen

which dwelt and sear through the way of the plane

from e love, from Ezion Gabber, we turned and passed

by the way of the wilderness of Moab. I gotta

read further so we can get And the Lord said,

unto me, distress not the mobikes, neither contend with them.

So the Lord is telling them who to deal with

the Lord is telling them who to deal with. The

Lord is telling us who to deal with and who

not deal with. The Lord's telling us you can't deal

with everybody. So I'm gonna tell you who to deal with,

and that when you have a relationship with God, he

tells you who to cut off.

Who to deal with, who to hang with, who to

buy from, who to make your company, who to sit

down at the coffee table, who to get away from?

So, and the Lord said, unto me, distress not the mobikes,

neither contend with them and battle. Don't fight them, for

I will not give thee of their land for possession,

because I have given it to error, unto the children

of Lot for a possession. And there's a lot we

can read into that, but I don't want to read

that part. And the images dwelt there in in times past.

The images are a great people and many so it's

a lot of people, and they are tall like the Anakins.

They were superhuman, they were giants. But God was saying,

don't get don't be moved by what you see. Let's

put it in a New Testament text because the just

must live not by what they see, but by faith.

What's the other scripture? We walk we walk by faith

and not by sight. So this whole time, what God

is really trying to develop in them is a faith

relationship with him. The main thing that God is trying

to get to us. It's the same thing he was

trying to get to the child of Israel. Faith. Believe me,

Believe me for the work sake. I want to be

your God. I want to be your supplier. I want

to be your help. I want to be your peace

that goes past understanding. I want to give you the kingdom.

It is the father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.

You should be seeing a lot of the Bible. It's

a father's good pleasure. He wants to give you to

the kingdom. He wants you to lack nothing. The only

reason why anybody lacks anything is because either will out

of the will of God or sin. Well out of

the will of God or sin. Because God is Jehovah Chirah.

He's a lord that provides. He doesn't want us to worry.

If he tells us that the New Testament, take no

thought for your life what you said, eat or drink,

because if you took care of the first to take

care of raccoons, he take care of the squirrels, he

take care of all animals outside. Surely he has the

ability to take care of you. He's trying to show

us I'm gonna take care of you, but you have

to trust me. I'm gonna deliver you, but you have

to trust me. And the people that know their God,

the people who trust their God, will see that he

does provide everything. You can live your life to the

extent that nothing is lacking. Will stop at chapter two

and verse ten, so we can open the lines and

we can answer any questions that you have, because I

don't want to go too far, and you not, you

not have an understanding of what we read, or I

went too fast or I skipped anything. So you can

open your lines. You can open your lines very good

and federal notes and in our notes, and I'll also

have some other notes that we can put in your hands,

because I don't want to go too far, and I

want us to understand the essence of the wilderness and

all the other important things, because I don't want us

to miss those things. Okay, all right, lines are open

for questions.

Okay, bishure, So you said that it's improper for us

to say God is tired. But you said God gets tired, right.

I said that because we sometimes ascribe God's attitude to ours.

And God is spirit and he's human. So a lot

of times you will hear preachers, prophets, teachers, apostles, bishops

get up that God tired, He tired of y'all, and

God not be tired. So my point in making that

statement is for us to be careful what we think

God is tired. Oh, because God is long suffering, so

he doesn't get tired about what we get tired about.

We don't. Most of the time we based it on

a physical agenda, and God doesn't get tired on a

physical agenda. When God gets tired, it is something like

what we see in this text. He's saying to us,

I keep giving you a chance, have the chance. I

keep telling you the Promised Land is there. I keep

telling you the same thing. How many times am I

gonna have to tell? Not only am I telling you,

y'all say, actions speak louder than words. I provided for

you in the wilderness. I provided for you where in Egypt.

Y'all thought when you left Egypt you were gonna fall behind,

But you have nothing Latin. So he's saying to you,

how how many times I'm gonna have to say the

same thing to you. I keep telling you I'm a provider,

and I'm only telling you what you should already know.

Have you ever needed away made? And I didn't make

a way, not when you were in Egypt. So so

what he's really trying to do is he's trying to

get the Egypt mentality out of them, because they can't

take the Egypt mentality into Cana. You can't take Egypt

mentality into the Promised Land. So he's saying, I'm wrestling

with y'all. I'm doing everything I can. You. By now,

you should be convinced that the Lord is saying. Anybody

on this call and I that's not convinced. I am

not talking about a song. I'm not telling what you heard.

I'm not talking about what your mama said, what your

daddy said. Anybody on this call tonight who is not

convinced that the Lord is a way maker. You need

to find the quickest altar. You don't need to wait

for Sunday. You need to find the quickest altar you

can find, because if it's nothing else, I don't know,

I know he'll make a way. I know he will provide.

I know he would do what he said. Now my

broblem comes in. Well, sometimes I think he's taking too long.

But he didn't say. And that's why sometimes it's profits

we have to be careful because it was saying the

Lord said by this time. I don't say the Lord

said by this time tomorrow, lest the Lord tell me,

because I don't have any way of making it come

to pass. And some prophets don't give times because we

can't say when God's going to do something. But if

it's anybody's like that, don't know, the Lord's a way

back on door opener, give you a piece of the

little stall. Please let me tell you. That's my testimony.

I've seen him do it. I'm not trying to I'm

your voice down south teaching.

All right, Okay, one more questions real quick, and what

we just what the reading that we were just going through,

especially in the section where we were talking about I

think it's around the nineteenth verse first, I mean first chapter,

nineteenth verse somewhere along and there we were talking about

murmuring and complaining. When you were talking about that, and

we were talking about you were saying, if I understood

you correctly, the murmuring and the complaining is.

An offense to God.

It offends him because, as you were saying last week,

he's a good father to us.

Right, yes, okay?

So yes, So how do we how do how do

we as a people, as a believer in our lives,

in our lives.

Be careful that we.

That when we are questioning God, and we all do it, God,

why did this happen?

Why?

Why didn't this happen? How how are we careful that

we do not offend him? You understand what I'm saying.

I'm asking you a question. Or is it just that

he's looking at our heart, he's looking at at the

intent of what we're saying.

He's looking at the intent. How do we he's looking

at the personality because all of us are different. Because

the old Church made us feel and I'm gonna use

this word that I don't like to use, stupid, They

made us think you can't question God. Yes, you can't

question God. You cannot call God a curse. The sin

of blasphemy, okay, is when we call God a curse. Okay,

And that is the unforgivable sin. But I might have

some doubts because say, that's going to introduce them like

he did in the gard and eating. He's gonna always

introduce something into my spirit. Well yeah, well he said

you're gonna die, but he ain't really mean you gonna die.

He just meant you gonna die. I want to submit

to you that dying is dying because if I dying

a spiritual death, it's just like dying in physical death.

That's what's coming next. So yes, we can question God.

We can ask God, and we can wonder what's taking

so long. We just can't curse God. We can't curse

God and act like he does not have the ability

to do it. But the three Hebrew boys, when the

King said, oh, come on by, who is this God

that's gonna be able to say y'all and he can't,

they came back and said, wait a minute, wait a minute,

said king, go ahead, play your music. We ain't gonna boy,

because we are fully convinced, and that's what God wants us.

We are fullt I have faithful enough to believe that

if God says he's gonna bring me out, he's gonna

bring me out. I have faith enough to believe if

God said, he gonna heal me. I don't know how,

I don't know when, I don't know where, I don't

know which day. All I know is I got a

word and I'm hold onto that word and I believe

God to do it. Okay. He wants us to trust

him just like that. And remember I kept pushing to you.

He took care of the enemies. The clothes didn't wear out.

He fed them, He gave it. He told him who

to go to the bywater, who to go to the

buy food, who not to hang with, who not to

deal with? And that's the kind of relationship God wants

with us before we do anything. God, what do you

want me to do? Okay? God, Okay, Whemen, God, Okay, Lady, God,

this Ladys walked to my shop. Do I need to

deal with her because she about crazy and I'm about

ready to go off. The Lord said, no, no, no,

at peace, because you get you're entertaining a stranger unaware. Well, God,

this Ladys walked in my congregation. She acting am crazy.

I'm ready to cancers devil out. God wants us to

follow his specific instructions for our life. The church used

to teach this and we said the church was too

dominant and too controlling because before you got married you

had to bring your husband to the church because the

pastor was trying to make sure this, that, and the

I'm not advocating that, I'm just trying to show you

all the correlation between then and now. Before you bought

a house, Pastor, can you pray with me, I'm looking

at her and I want to make sure this is

the right one. Pastor, can you pray for me. I'm

going to look at a car to mom Castor and

I hit the car dealership. I need you to pray

for me. And really, all that was doing was shuring

up our relationship with God. God has so much that

he wants to give us. God has so much he

wants to do. Whenever I'm sitting in front of congregation,

it blows my mind because there's so many people out there.

Because this was a mixed multitude. God was showing the

Man of God everything he wanted to do for people.

But then the lords shows you that part of them

that fights against the will of God. And sometimes you

don't even realize it. Sometimes you think it's I just

want to have my way. I'm just particular I'm just

certain stuff I'm not gonna deal with. God said, no,

I'm not gonna bring anybody to you. That's not purpose,

that's not a part of my will. You don't want

to be with nobody that's not your will. You don't

want to hang with nobody. You don't want to be

on no job that's not the will of God. You

don't want to live in a house that is not

the will of God, because those things are too hard

to keep when we're not in the will of God.

That's some truth to that song. The safest place in

the whole wide world is in the will of God.

Any other questions, comments, interjections, You're certainly welcome that pastors, bishops,

and other folks on here, prophet, any interjections. Don't be

afraid to use your gift. Don't be afraid to let

God speak through you. I think God is trying to

say something to us as a ministry. God's trying to

say something to us. We have seen him do in

three months, I what he has not done for other folks.

The lady can in a Sunday and I am very

screamish about prophecy, but she read the whole book y'all

don't even know how honest she was being when she

said and his honestly got true. Mount Calvary did not

believe in apostles. I came in and saying, Lord called

me to be apostle. I would have been excommunicated out

of the church. So the lady just went right right

down the line with why wish is not the first

time because the lady from Apostle Ross just read the

mail just like sometime I get embarrassed because I know

we're streaming, and I was like, oh, Lord Jesus, because

I don't want people to feel like I want to

always have the reputation and Pastor Flake, you will understand

stand this. I always want to have the reputation that

I'm not throwing off on people. But the lady was

so accurate that I was like, Oh God, I wish

the people of God knew that God keeps sending people

in our house to confirm what he's doing. And there's

other stuff behind the scenes that y'all don't know about

that God is doing. So it blows my mind just

the workings of God, the mind of God, the will

of God. How God could do something and how he

could do it so fast because the Lord keeps saying

to me, I'm gonna do this so fast, and I'm

not finished doing what I'm doing. But you need people

who are willing and obedient, people who trust that God

is speaking through you through the leadership of the church.

Leaders who trust this is a man of God. So

I got I got to be here on time. I

got to do what I'm supposed to do. I've got

to because the first long heaven is Order's order. God

does not bless that that is not in order.
