- 0:13We leave by the world of God. The Campaigners podcast episodes, God's work
- 0:19made quickly profitable. Blessed be God for eternity. Today on Fate Feed,
- 0:28I'll be talking on the Wilderness of Sin. Wilderness of Sin exed Us,
- 0:36chapters sixteen, verse one. And they took their journey from Elim, and
- 0:41all the congregation of the children of Israel came onto the wilderness of Sin,
- 0:48which is between Elim and Sina, that's Mount Signa, on the fifth day
- 0:52of the second moon, after they are departing out of the land of Egypt.
- 0:58Blessed be God. We see how the Bible explains from Exodus fifteen to
- 1:03seventeen, how Moses led the children of Israel from Egypt after crossing the Red
- 1:08si And so they crossed the Red Sea, and they came to a place
- 1:12called that they called Mara, and that is because it had bitter waters.
- 1:18And there God gave instruction to Moses, and that bitter water became sweet water.
- 1:23Afterwards, then moved to a place called Ellen. Ellen was more like
- 1:30something they didn't plan for, but it was as a result of the instruction
- 1:36God gave. They found twelve whales and seventy palm trees. So after Elien,
- 1:42like we read from the beginning, they journeyed from Elim and came onto
- 1:48the wilderness of Sin. Now note there are two wilderness that was mentioned in
- 1:53the Bible, Zin and Sin z n Sim, but the one we're talking
- 1:57about is the Sa and Sin. The wilderness is a place where the desire
- 2:05to fall into temptation is there. The wilderness comes to drain your feith,
- 2:09It comes to it is more like the breaking point of any believer. It
- 2:15aims at sub doing a man till that man becomes comfortable in the wilderness,
- 2:23comfortable doubting God. Now in the New Testament we come to see similar scenerio
- 2:30with Jesus. Look chapter four. The Bible records that the spirit of God
- 2:34led Jesus to the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. So we see
- 2:38that the first thing the devil came to do was to tempt him with food.
- 2:44But Jesus responded in a manner that disarms the wilderness of sin. He
- 2:49said, man shall not live by bread, room board, by every word
- 2:53that proceeds out of the amount of God. So the first thing a man
- 2:58must understand, passing through or overcoming the wilderness of sin, is to live
- 3:05by God's world, by God's world. This is where a believer has to
- 3:09deal with appetite. Now the second temptation in the wilderness, the devil puted
- 3:16the scripture. He says, what for it is written, he shall give
- 3:21his angels charge over thee and keep thee. This is the devil asking Jesus
- 3:24to cast himself, and is simply in similarity to what happened to the children
- 3:30of Israel when they tempted God, and that was after immediately removed from the
- 3:35wilderness of sin. We will see what happened. Word Jesus replied to devil,
- 3:38thou shall not tempt the Lord thy God. Thou shall not tempt the
- 3:44Lord thy God. Then the third one which Jesus rebuked the devil, Jesus
- 3:49replied and said that thou shall worship only the Lord thy God, and him
- 3:54only shall dieself not Now according to Exceeddus seventeen from their phone he says that
- 4:01they journeyed. They journeyed from the wilderness of sin, and they were testing,
- 4:05and then they complained to Moses, but not they didn't stop them.
- 4:10But now see what they did that changed everything. Reading from verse seven Excedus
- 4:15seventeen, and he called the name of the place Massa and Mary back because
- 4:20of the cheek, that is the contention contests, and because they tempted,
- 4:25Now not just the contention, it says, and because this is where they
- 4:30fought. Had they tempted the Lord, saying is the Lord among us or
- 4:35not? Immediately that they said? The next verse not says, then came
- 4:42Amlek. Then came Amlek. This is the Amalakites, and fought with Israel.
- 4:48And thought, which is so? The first battle that Israel encountered was
- 4:54as a result of their attempting God. And if you read for that,
- 4:59you will notice that Moses had to lift his hand up, lifts his staff
- 5:03up, in order for them to prevail. The Bible records that as long
- 5:06as any time his hand went down, that the amalaki Is prevailed, or
- 5:11whenever his hand went up. So we see that tempting God puts us in
- 5:16a position where battles may be difficult to win. So who can simply say
- 5:25that the children of Israel pass through the wilderness of saying, but they didn't
- 5:30understand the wilderness of sin. Yes. Yes, because each phase that a
- 5:34man passes through, that God directs a man through in life, tends to
- 5:41teach thems to enlightening that man. And one of the main major importance of
- 5:48that enlightenment is tends not the Lord that God. The grace of God is
- 5:58always sufficient, always sufficient, even in the wilderness. The Bible says that
- 6:02even in saying does grace much more abound. Yes, But when it comes
- 6:09to tempting God, many find themselves still trapped in the wilderness of sin.
- 6:17Hebrews chapter three, reading from verse seven. Wherefore, as the Holy Girl
- 6:23says, as the Spirit of God says today, if you will hear his
- 6:27voice, harding not your hearts, harding not your hearts, as in the
- 6:33provocation in the day of temptation, in the day of temptation, in the
- 6:40wilderness, when your father tented me, proved me and saw my works forty
- 6:47years. Wherefore I was grieved with that generation and said, they will always
- 6:53air in their hearts. They will always air, They will always go as
- 6:57three. That is, they will never understand that world tempt not the Lord.
- 7:02And they have not known my ways. That is it best level.
- 7:06So I swear in my wrood they shall not enter into my rest. This
- 7:12is God's world, Yes, and we must follow you. That's why Jesus
- 7:15said Mansha and on live by rable, by every word that proceeds out of
- 7:19the massible. So we live by the word of God, and is the
- 7:24same word when we obey, that we can pass through and not be caught
- 7:30by the wilderness of sin, and not be hindered by it, and not
- 7:34be trapped by it. I remain the faith campaigner of Christ. The Lord
