  Exodus chapter 13. Let us pray, our Father, who is
• 0:07
  in heaven, holy is your name, your Kingdom come, and your will
• 0:14
  be done here on this earth, just as it is there in heaven.
• 0:19
  Give us this day Our Daily Bread.
• 0:22
  Forgive us for our sins as we forgive those who sin against
• 0:28
  us. Lead us not into temptation,
• 0:32
  God, but deliver us from the evil one.
• 0:36
  For yours is the Kingdom and the power and the glory and the
• 0:39
  honor, forever and ever worthy to be praised.
• 0:43
  King Jesus, our Lord and our God and our King.
• 0:47
  We love you, Father. We love your eyes like fire and
• 0:51
  hair like wool. The voice of the many
• 0:53
  multitudes, the rainbow above your throne, the sea of glass
• 0:58
  mingled with fire, thunders and lightnings.
• 1:03
  The four living creatures covering their eyes.
• 1:06
  God eyes all over their wings. Father, I pray that you will
• 1:11
  touch us with the coal, Lord. Cleanse us Father, I pray, Lord,
• 1:16
  that we will be able to see you high and lift it up.
• 1:21
  We look upon the brazen serpent upon the pole.
• 1:24
  God, we receive salvation today. God in the mighty name of Jesus,
• 1:32
  gird up our loin so we can stand in your presence.
• 1:36
  Father, we only want you. We only want more of you.
• 1:39
  We desire a touch from you. We love you, Father.
• 1:47
  Give us our marching orders for today.
• 1:51
  Help us to know what it is that we are to do.
• 1:54
  Help us to know that you are near, Lord, that you are here.
• 2:01
  Help us to know, Father, that you're fighting our battles.
• 2:05
  Help us to have a deeper intimacy with you.
• 2:09
  Give us a spiritual appetite for your Word.
• 2:13
  God, I pray for you to heal diseases and restore
• 2:19
  relationships. God, I pray for the prodigal to
• 2:24
  come home. I pray for you to soften the
• 2:26
  heart of the parent. God, I pray for you to turn
• 2:31
  things around. God, I pray that you'll
• 2:35
  miraculously break out God where miracles need to happen.
• 2:39
  Father, I pray you feed those that are hungry, clothe those
• 2:44
  that are naked. God, give those a cup of water,
• 2:48
  Father, and use us. We thank you that we are plan A.
• 2:53
  We thank you, God that you have made us into ministers of
• 2:57
  reconciliation, a royal priesthood.
• 3:00
  Father, I pray that we can step into the office and do the work
• 3:04
  of an evangelist. God.
• 3:06
  I pray that you'll actually fuel us, Lord.
• 3:09
  Not just tongue in cheek and word, but in action.
• 3:12
  God, we love you indeed, Father, we love you in everything that
• 3:18
  we say and everything that we do.
• 3:20
  Let them all measure up God and align with each other.
• 3:23
  God, not just vain, empty, jangling God, not just a
• 3:28
  clanging cymbal God, but love without limits, Lord, forever
• 3:34
  and ever. God, we love you.
• 3:36
  King Jesus, help us to be the Good Samaritan.
• 3:39
  Help us to actually work, Father.
• 3:43
  Help us to not just sit on our blessed assurance, but God to
• 3:48
  actually get in to the firefight, get in to the game,
• 3:53
  get in Father, and to be found out in the harvest.
• 3:58
  We love you, King Jesus. It's in your holy and precious
• 4:02
  and powerful name that I pray. Amen.
• 4:06
  Well, let's start in verse one. And the Lord spoke unto Moses,
• 4:13
  saying, sanctify to me all the first born whatsoever opens the
• 4:19
  womb among the children of Israel, both of man and of
• 4:23
  beasts. It is mine.
• 4:25
  So here's what you need to know. This is in the stark contrast to
• 4:30
  what just happened in Egypt with the slaying of all the first
• 4:35
  born of the Egyptians. And now here the Israelites are
• 4:39
  being LED out of Egypt and into the wilderness and God at the
• 4:43
  forefront. At the very beginning he starts
• 4:46
  to show them how to be set apart unto Him, and he's saying that
• 4:51
  all the first born belonged to him.
• 4:55
  And you need to know here that God is over the entirety, not
• 5:02
  just the first fruits, not just the first born.
• 5:05
  He's over the entire population, over the entire amount of money.
• 5:11
  He's over the entire population of animals, but you need to know
• 5:18
  that there is something that is special and symbolic unto Him
• 5:22
  when we offer the very first, the best.
• 5:25
  And if you go back and you study the beginning of Genesis and you
• 5:29
  see why did God accept Abel and not accept Cain?
• 5:34
  And it is because you'll find that Abel brought the first
• 5:38
  fruits in the best of the best. He did not go and squander 90%
• 5:46
  and then come and bring 10%. He actually brought in the very
• 5:51
  first and that is what pleases God even to this day.
• 5:56
  And you can see here that He wants us to give Him the best.
• 6:02
  The first verse. 2 Sanctify unto me the first born.
• 6:09
  Whatsoever opens the womb among the children of Israel, both of
• 6:13
  man and beast, it is mine. 3 And Moses said unto the people,
• 6:18
  Remember this day in which you came out from Egypt out of the
• 6:22
  House of bondage, for by strength of hand the Lord
• 6:27
  brought you out from this place. There shall no leavened bread be
• 6:31
  eaten. So we know that the yeast gets
• 6:34
  in and works in the dough, and rises the entire lump.
• 6:38
  And we know that the leaven is synonymous with sin.
• 6:42
  And we also know that it is symbolic of whenever they had to
• 6:46
  leave Egypt in haste. And it was a time of
• 6:49
  remembrance, friends. Verse 4, This day you came out
• 6:54
  in the month. I'll be 5 And it shall be when
• 6:58
  the Lord shall bring you into the land of the Canaanites and
• 7:02
  the Hittites and the Amorites, the Hivites and the Jebusites,
• 7:06
  which he swore unto your father's to give you a land
• 7:10
  blowing with milk and honey. And you shall keep this service
• 7:14
  in this month. So all of this was a memorial,
• 7:17
  friends, and they were looking back at the time when God
• 7:22
  rescued them from the hand of Pharaoh and the plagues in the
• 7:25
  land, friends, and all the things that the Israelites would
• 7:29
  have been a part of. And this was for a perpetual
• 7:33
  memorial unto God and the power of God and the love that He had
• 7:38
  for the Jews. And He still has that same love
• 7:41
  for the Jews. And it does not mean that they
• 7:44
  are excused from all of the wicked things that they might
• 7:48
  do. It just means that God has a
• 7:52
  peculiar love for the Hebrews and for the Jews, and He has a
• 7:56
  peculiar promise, and they will make it all the way in the end.
• 8:01
  There's nothing you can do about it, friends. 6-7 days you shall
• 8:08
  eat unleavened bread, and in the 7th day shall be a feast to the
• 8:13
  Lord. 7 unleavened bread shall be eaten. 7 days and there shall
• 8:17
  no leavened bread be seen with you, neither shall there'd be
• 8:21
  leaven seen with you in all your quarters.
• 8:25
  So in the entire house, in the entire land, they needed to get
• 8:29
  rid of all of the yeast, all of the leaven.
• 8:33
  They needed to get rid of it, friends, so that whenever they
• 8:37
  were in this feast, there would be no yeast found during this
• 8:43
  time. Eight, you shall show your son
• 8:49
  in that day, saying, This is done because of that which the
• 8:53
  Lord did unto me when I came forth out of Egypt.
• 8:57
  God is a God of perpetual blessings, of generations after
• 9:01
  generations after generations, friends, and you need to know
• 9:05
  that that we can pass on these blessings and the prayers of the
• 9:11
  Saints. Friends, this is pleasing aroma
• 9:15
  unto God and we should be seen teaching our kids on the road,
• 9:19
  teaching our kids everywhere that we go, while we're driving
• 9:23
  down the road, while we are sitting in a restaurant, while
• 9:27
  we are sitting at the dinner table, while we're everywhere.
• 9:31
  Friends, we teach our children about Yahweh everlasting. 9 And
• 9:44
  it shall be for a son unto you upon your hand, and for a
• 9:48
  memorial between your eyes, that the Lord's law may be in your
• 9:53
  mouth. For with a strong hand has the
• 9:56
  Lord brought you out of Egypt. So we write it on our foreheads,
• 10:02
  and write it on our hands. Let it forever be in our mouths
• 10:06
  that God is omnipotent. He is all powerful, He is all
• 10:12
  knowing and He is ever present and He is our help in the time
• 10:16
  of need. He's the strong tower that we
• 10:18
  run into. He is where our help comes from.
• 10:21
  He is life and He is salvation and no one comes unto him except
• 10:27
  through the Lord Jesus Christ. Never let it leave your mouth.
• 10:31
  Tell the good news everywhere that you go, everywhere that
• 10:35
  your foot gets planted. Friends, we share the love of
• 10:39
  God with every single man and woman and child that we come
• 10:44
  across, regardless of nationality or creed.
• 10:47
  We share that the same hope that we possess is available to them.
• 11:00
  10 You shall therefore keep this ordinance in his season from
• 11:04
  year to year. 11 And it shall be when the Lord shall bring you
• 11:09
  into the land of the Canaanites, as He swore unto you and unto
• 11:13
  your Father's, and shall give it you.
• 11:16
  So here you need to understand that the sin of the Canaanites
• 11:22
  had reached its height. It was a festering boil and God
• 11:27
  knew that it was ripe. And it was time for the
• 11:31
  Israelites to go in and to take the land that God had swore unto
• 11:37
  Abraham and Isaac and Jacob. He told them that He would give
• 11:41
  them the entirety of the land. And that promise is still viable
• 11:46
  today. Friends. 12 that you shall set
• 11:53
  apart unto the Lord all that opens the matrix.
• 11:57
  And every first thing that comes of a beast which you have, the
• 12:01
  males shall be the Lord. So the very first ones are the
• 12:05
  Lords, and He deserves them, Friends.
• 12:09
  We give him our first fruits, we give him our very best.
• 12:14
  The first part. 13 And every first thing of an ice you shall
• 12:21
  redeem with the Lamb, And if you will not redeem it, then you
• 12:25
  shall break its neck. And all the first born of a man
• 12:28
  among your children you shall redeem.
• 12:31
  So here's what you need to know. If it was an unclean animal, it
• 12:34
  needed to be redeemed with a clean animal.
• 12:37
  And that's our story, friends. We were the unclean.
• 12:40
  We are the unnatural. We are the Gentiles.
• 12:43
  And we are just redeemed by the blood of the Messiah.
• 12:48
  This Jewish man, fully man and fully God, who came and offered
• 12:52
  his life as a ransom for many and the sins of the world,
• 12:56
  forgiven because of the love of Jesus Christ and the obedience
• 13:01
  to the Father even unto death. And now we have the down payment
• 13:05
  of the Holy Spirit living inside of us.
• 13:08
  Friends, we have been redeemed. And you need to know that in the
• 13:12
  connection and connotation all the way back here in the 13th
• 13:17
  chapter of Exodus, He is showing unto Moses that if it is a
• 13:22
  human, they are to be redeemed with money, and if they are
• 13:26
  unclean, then they are to be redeemed with a clean animal. 14
• 13:34
  And it shall be when the Son asks you in time to come,
• 13:39
  saying, What is this that you shall say unto him?
• 13:43
  By strength of hand? The Lord brought us out from
• 13:49
  Egypt, from the House of bondage.
• 13:52
  You were once in bondage, friends.
• 13:55
  You were once a slave unto sin, and now we are bond servants
• 14:00
  unto our Lord Jesus Christ. We are slaves to God to do
• 14:05
  whatever He asks us to do, and we willfully put ourselves into
• 14:10
  the service. Friends, you will be a slave
• 14:13
  unto one thing or another. Switch your obedience, switch
• 14:19
  your bondage unto God, and we will be compelled to do what it
• 14:27
  is that God asks us to do. Friends, it will be a natural
• 14:32
  overflow of the love that God has showered on us.
• 14:37
  We can't help but to do the work that He's asked us to do. 15 And
• 14:42
  it came to pass, when Pharaoh would hardly let us go, that the
• 14:47
  Lord slew all the first born in the land of Egypt.
• 14:51
  Both the first born of man and the first born of beast.
• 14:55
  Therefore I sacrifice to the Lord all that opens the matrix
• 15:00
  being males, but all the first born of my children I redeem.
• 15:05
  So that's what you need to know is that if it was the first born
• 15:10
  of the clean animals, then they were to be given unto the Lord
• 15:15
  and sacrifice. If they were the first born of
• 15:18
  the unclean animals, then he was to take a clean animal and
• 15:23
  sacrifice it unto the Lord. But if it was the first born out
• 15:27
  of the children of Israel, then he was to redeem him with money.
• 15:34
  16 And that shall be for a token upon your hand, and for
• 15:38
  frontlets between your eyes. For by strength of hand the Lord
• 15:43
  brought us forth out of Egypt. And it's just like, friends,
• 15:48
  whenever we finally get attached to Yahweh everlasting, He puts
• 15:54
  his name upon us, friends. And that is what the Book of
• 15:57
  Revelation tells us, that He's going to give us a new name.
• 16:02
  But you need to know there's a counterfeit that's coming with
• 16:05
  the Antichrist. And you need to know that he's
• 16:07
  going to try to put the mark on you.
• 16:10
  And you need to be aware of it. You need to know that only God
• 16:14
  is the one who can write the new name upon you.
• 16:18
  It is not something that we take in order to buy and sell.
• 16:23
  Far be it from us to receive the mark of the beast.
• 16:29
  And you also need to know that the Jews started a tradition of
• 16:33
  the phylacteries that Jesus Christ denounced and told them
• 16:38
  that they should not do with the leather boxes that they tied
• 16:42
  around their hands and on their foreheads.
• 16:46
  We keep it written upon our hearts and written upon our
• 16:50
  minds, and we meditate upon it, and we keep it in our mouth,
• 16:54
  friends. 17 And it came to pass when Pharaoh let us, when
• 17:02
  Pharaoh had let the people go, that God LED them not through
• 17:06
  the way of the land of the Philistines, although that was
• 17:10
  near, for God said, lest her adventure.
• 17:14
  The people repent when they see war and they return to Egypt.
• 17:18
  So God didn't want to lead them up through the hostile territory
• 17:22
  of the Philistines. They weren't ready for war, and
• 17:25
  had they encountered war, they would have turned around and
• 17:28
  went back to Egypt. 18 But God led the people about through the
• 17:34
  way of the wilderness of the Red Sea, and the children of Israel
• 17:38
  went up, harnessed out of the land of Egypt.
• 17:41
  So God was leading them on a long 40 year journey that
• 17:46
  they're going to take, which should have taken no more than
• 17:50
  two or three weeks to get into the promised land is going to
• 17:53
  take them 40 years, because God has to develop them. 19 And
• 17:59
  Moses took the bones of Joseph with him, for he had straightly
• 18:04
  sworn the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit
• 18:09
  you, and you shall carry up my bones from here with you.
• 18:15
  So Joseph knew because he was a man that was connected with God,
• 18:20
  he knew that God would because of the promise that he had given
• 18:25
  to Abraham in Genesis chapter 15.
• 18:30
  Joseph knew that God would visit them again and lead them out of
• 18:35
  Egypt and Egypt would not be their perpetual home forever.
• 18:39
  That they were promised Canaan. And that is where they're going,
• 18:44
  and that is where they are today. 20 And they took their
• 18:51
  journey from sukka and encamped in in the edge of the
• 18:55
  wilderness. So here they're leaving Egypt
• 18:59
  and they're going up, and they're going into this place of
• 19:05
  Etham 21 And the Lord went before them by day in a pillar
• 19:13
  of cloud to lead them the way, and by night in a pillar of fire
• 19:18
  to give them light to go by day and night.
• 19:22
  So can you even imagine the Shekinah glory of God
• 19:26
  manifesting itself at night in this pillar of fire that shows
• 19:31
  them where to go? If they look ahead, they see
• 19:35
  this pillar of fire and they know where to go.
• 19:38
  And it would provide light at night and warmth and then this
• 19:43
  cloud by day which would shade them so that they would not
• 19:47
  become sunburnt and tired and weary.
• 19:50
  It was a refreshing coolness in the day.
• 19:54
  And God would lead them by this cloud, friends.
• 19:58
  Imagine the power of God, the might of God, the knowledge of
• 20:03
  God, that he would love his people so much and protect them,
• 20:08
  and he would keep them and he would bring them in, friends.
• 20:13
  And he's still doing the same today.
• 20:15
  Miracles breaking out for the Jews.
• 20:18
  Miracles breaking out for the Israelites.
• 20:21
  Divine protection upon that land still to this very day.
• 20:28
  Well then, down 22 He took not away the pillar of the cloud by
• 20:32
  day, nor the pillar of the fire by night from before the people.
• 20:39
  God loves long and God loves well, and God keeps us even in
• 20:45
  our disobedience. What an amazing thought.
• 20:49
  You can't outlive God. You can't outlast God.
• 20:53
  His love is boundless, He forgives to the utmost, and He
• 21:02
  initiated salvation. We didn't even beg for it or ask
• 21:06
  for it. God drew us unto himself.
• 21:10
  Thank God that we had enough mental fortitude and wherewithal
• 21:15
  to surrender unto a holy God and to experience the love of God,
• 21:21
  and for the blinders to fall off and for the ears to get
• 21:25
  unstopped. And now we can see.
• 21:27
  We were once blind, we were once deaf, now we can hear.
• 21:32
  Friends, this is the Amazing Grace of God, that God chose us
• 21:39
  before the foundations of the earth and He's leading us home.
• 21:44
  We need to get out of our own way, and we need to surrender
• 21:48
  unto Him and quit operating out of our own intellect.
• 21:53
  What does the Bible say? That's the real question.
• 21:57
  Let every man be a liar. But God's word is truth.
• 22:01
  Jesus Christ is truth. We lean heavily on the counsel
• 22:07
  of the Word of God from beginning to end, but it's
• 22:11
  ignorance of the Word of God that's plaguing this world.
• 22:15
  We need to know God's Word, and there's so many people that want
• 22:18
  to try to fast track it. They want to watch videos, they
• 22:22
  want to listen to sermons. They want to ride off of
• 22:25
  somebody else's coattails. They don't want to put the work
• 22:28
  in, friends. And I'm thankful that you're
• 22:32
  here. I'm thankful that you are locked
• 22:34
  in. I'm thankful that you're eating
• 22:36
  and munching. You're digesting and meditating
• 22:40
  upon God's Word. It is the only thing that's
• 22:43
  going to lead us home and to keep us from the counterfeit
• 22:46
  that is so easily trying to entangle so many people and
• 22:52
  getting them to trip up and to choose the lesser.
• 22:59
  Get in the word of God, Own the word of God, learn the word of
• 23:03
  God, hide the word of God. It is the word of God that we
• 23:07
  are in desperate need for. And I'm thankful that you're
• 23:11
  here. Hope you've been blessed by this
• 23:14
  amazing chapter in God's Word. I know I sure have.
• 23:17
  I'm praying for every single one of you.
• 23:20
  I love you. We'll see you back here
• 23:22
  tomorrow. God bless you.
