Transcript

- 0:03Speaker 1: much because yesterday's food is not enough to supply energy

- 0:15Speaker 1: keep us through today's challenges. On this program, we are

- 1:25Speaker 2: go ahead and pray. Father, we thank you for being

- 1:56Speaker 2: Please please prepare us in Jesus' name. I pray, Amen
- 2:00Speaker 2: and amen again the Divine Eye, the Divine Eye. Let's
- 2:04Speaker 2: go ahead and begin in the Bible with the concept
- 2:08Speaker 2: in order for God to introduce himself God first, Okay,
- 2:14Speaker 2: let me say it this way. In order for God
- 2:16Speaker 2: to introduce himself to the Pharaoh, that king, God introduced
- 2:21Speaker 2: himself first to his people and Moses. So before the
- 2:26Speaker 2: Pharaoh gets to be introduced, then God has to give
- 2:30Speaker 2: a refresher course to Moses and God's people, Okay. And
- 2:35Speaker 2: so in Exodus chapter five, verse beginning at verse twenty two,
- 2:39Speaker 2: the Bible read So Moses returned to the Lord and said, Lord,
- 2:42Speaker 2: why have you brought terrible brought trouble on this people?
- 2:47Speaker 2: Why is it you have sent me? For since I
- 2:52Speaker 2: have come to Pharaoh to speak in your name, he
- 2:55Speaker 2: has done evil to his people. Neither have you delivered
- 2:59Speaker 2: your people at all. So I don't know if Moses
- 3:02Speaker 2: thought it was going to be like a snap of
- 3:03Speaker 2: the finger, it would happen just immediately when when God
- 3:07Speaker 2: gave him the message and said, let your people, let
- 3:10Speaker 2: my people go. Then Pharaoh was like, oh, okay, fly
- 3:13Speaker 2: the gate, just let him go. Uh huh. So as
- 3:17Speaker 2: soon as I went in there, you didn't deliver. As
- 3:19Speaker 2: soon as I went in there, he made it more difficult. God, like,
- 3:22Speaker 2: what is really going on here? And then God is like,
- 3:25Speaker 2: come here, Moses, come close, Come close, Like do you
- 3:27Speaker 2: not remember the burning bush incident? Like the experience you
- 3:31Speaker 2: had when we connected? And so in verse one of
- 3:34Speaker 2: Exodus chapter six, the Bible reads, then the Lord said
- 3:38Speaker 2: to Moses, now you will see what I will do
- 3:41Speaker 2: to Pharaoh. For with a strong hand will he let
- 3:46Speaker 2: them go. And with a strong hand he will drive
- 3:50Speaker 2: them out of his land. And God spoke to Moses
- 3:53Speaker 2: and said to him, I am the Lord. I appeared
- 3:56Speaker 2: to Abraham, I appeared to Isaac, I appeared to Jacob
- 4:03Speaker 2: as God Almighty. Let me just say, blessed be his name.
- 4:07Speaker 2: But by my name the Lord, I mean Jehovah or Yahweh, Yahweh,
- 4:12Speaker 2: Blessed be his name. By that name, I am not
- 4:15Speaker 2: known to them. I have also established my covenant with
- 4:19Speaker 2: them to give them the land of Canaan. I've told
- 4:22Speaker 2: you I was going to do it, the land of
- 4:24Speaker 2: their pilgrimage. I told you I was going to do
- 4:27Speaker 2: it in which they were strangers. And I have also
- 4:31Speaker 2: heard the groaning of the children of Israel, whom the
- 4:35Speaker 2: Egyptians keep in bondage. And I have remembered my covenant.
- 4:39Speaker 2: I haven't forgotten. I don't slumber, I don't sleep. I
- 4:44Speaker 2: am the God of Israel who watches you. I see
- 4:47Speaker 2: everything that you are experiencing. In fact, do you not
- 4:50Speaker 2: remember the time that Joseph served in the same place?
- 4:56Speaker 2: How I caused you to rise up? Come on, now,
- 5:00Speaker 2: I'm introducing myself as as Yahweh, and I will say
- 5:05Speaker 2: blessed be his name, the one who is self existent
- 5:08Speaker 2: and eternal, the one who sees all and knows all. Yes,
- 5:13Speaker 2: I am almighty. But I am also the one who
- 5:16Speaker 2: is close enough to hear your groanings, and I will
- 5:20Speaker 2: deliver my people. Verse six. Therefore, say to the children
- 5:24Speaker 2: of Israel, I am the Lord. I will bring you
- 5:29Speaker 2: out from under the burdens of the Egyptians. I will
- 5:33Speaker 2: rescue you from their bondage. And I, this is the
- 5:37Speaker 2: Divine Eye, will redeem you with an outstretched arm and
- 5:42Speaker 2: with great judgments. I this is the Divine Eye. I
- 5:46Speaker 2: will take you as my people. And I this is
- 5:50Speaker 2: the Divine Eye, will be your God. See, this is
- 5:54Speaker 2: the ultimate outcome that God is after all of the deliverance,
- 5:59Speaker 2: all of the stress, all of the redemption, all of
- 6:02Speaker 2: these things lead to the one thing that God really
- 6:06Speaker 2: is after. You know what it is. He's after the relationship?
- 6:09Speaker 2: Are you after the relationship with the Divine Eye? How
- 6:13Speaker 2: don't mean highly, Selassie. I'm saying the Divine I who
- 6:17Speaker 2: created all things, not the eye that was in Isaiah
- 6:22Speaker 2: chapter fourteen and the book of Ezekiel with the devil
- 6:25Speaker 2: who was once Lucifer talking about I will do this,
- 6:28Speaker 2: I will be that I will ascend here, not that
- 6:32Speaker 2: I not the one that we proclaim on a regular
- 6:34Speaker 2: basis with the social media. We hold up our phones
- 6:37Speaker 2: and we're on the social media and put the little
- 6:39Speaker 2: filters on it and show everybody what I am doing
- 6:42Speaker 2: all the time. I am squatting, I am bench pressing,
- 6:46Speaker 2: I am doing this thing on this island. I am
- 6:48Speaker 2: spending money frivolously. I have purchased all this goofy stuff
- 6:52Speaker 2: so people can follow me. I not that we're talking
- 6:55Speaker 2: about the ie who created all things, the eye who
- 6:59Speaker 2: sees all things, and still loves you despite all of
- 7:03Speaker 2: the wickedness that is deep in your mind that nobody
- 7:06Speaker 2: else even knows about. That you'll never be on trial,
- 7:09Speaker 2: for it will never be entered into evidence, it will
- 7:12Speaker 2: never be flashed on the television screen. He knows all
- 7:15Speaker 2: of those skeletons that are in every human's closet, and
- 7:18Speaker 2: still loves us. And all we need to do is
- 7:21Speaker 2: surrender our will to him and to serve him. He's
- 7:24Speaker 2: after the relationship, the Bible continues. Then you shall know
- 7:28Speaker 2: that I am the Lord, your God, and who brings
- 7:31Speaker 2: you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and
- 7:35Speaker 2: I will bring you into the land which I swore
- 7:40Speaker 2: I swore to give Abraham, I swore to give Isaac,
- 7:45Speaker 2: I swore to give Jacob, and I will give it
- 7:49Speaker 2: to you as a heritage. I am the Lord. So
- 7:54Speaker 2: when God introduces himself to you, is he introducing himself
- 7:59Speaker 2: as the one who is judged now and is condemning
- 8:03Speaker 2: you because you have chosen to fight him like that
- 8:06Speaker 2: particular king in Egypt. Not all of the kings of
- 8:08Speaker 2: Egypt disrespected and fought God. Like I said during the
- 8:13Speaker 2: time of Joseph, that king learned to serve. He believed
- 8:17Speaker 2: that God is who exactly he said he was, you see,
- 8:22Speaker 2: And so is he introducing himself as that because you
- 8:26Speaker 2: are hardening your heart like the Pharaoh of the time
- 8:29Speaker 2: of Moses was, Or is he introducing himself as I
- 8:34Speaker 2: just described, as the one who will deliver, the one
- 8:37Speaker 2: who has saved you, the one who loves you, the
- 8:41Speaker 2: one who hears your groanings in those relationships that have
- 8:44Speaker 2: gone south, when your money is shorter than your month,
- 8:48Speaker 2: when your health seems to be in shambles. And maybe indeed,
- 8:51Speaker 2: and in fact is but he is the resurrection in
- 8:54Speaker 2: the life, like everything that he touches has life in it.
- 8:58Speaker 2: Like he is the one that we have the privilege
- 9:01Speaker 2: of worshiping. So which of these invitations, huh? Which of
- 9:06Speaker 2: these descriptions are you accepting the one that comes with
- 9:10Speaker 2: condemnation because of human choice to turn our backs on God,
- 9:14Speaker 2: or the one that is an invitation into right relationship
- 9:17Speaker 2: and eternity with God. And so there are so many
- 9:21Speaker 2: lessons I wanted to share, but I think we can
- 9:23Speaker 2: really just kind of slow down right here. I'll give
- 9:26Speaker 2: you one good one apart from all that we have said,
- 9:29Speaker 2: and just simply say, God's deliverance is rooted in relationship.
- 9:35Speaker 2: Don't ask God only for help, that's good, but be great,
- 9:39Speaker 2: ask him about being in right relationship with him. That's
- 9:43Speaker 2: the reward. Peace.
- 9:45Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us listening. Friends. Always remember we cannot
- 9:48Speaker 1: live by bread alone, but by every word that comes
- 9:51Speaker 1: from the mouth of God. This has been your daily
- 9:54Speaker 1: portion with el David Harris. Make it a great day. Yeah,
