  Speaker 1: Most of us eat every day, some of us too much,
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: because yesterday's food is not enough to supply energy for
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: today's needs. Why then, do some of us expect yesterday's
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: portion of heavenly manna, the word of God to keep
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: us through today's challenges. On this program, we are going
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: to change all of that. Let's experience God's words today
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: and receive the power we need to live healthy, vibrant lives.

  Speaker 2: every single day, and today is no exception. We are

  Speaker 2: continuing in our lesson study series Exodus Journey to the
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: Promised Land. I'm still remembering it because of course we
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: had thirteen weeks of another topic, right, So our caption
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: for today is God over rules Satans plans. God over
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: rules Satan's plans. We'll get into that in just a moment,
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: but first i'd like to say welcome to you and
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: ask you to go over to your Daily portion dot com.
• 1:17

  Speaker 2: Daily Portion Life application guide and let us know where
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: you are in the world at your Daily Portion dot com.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: This is one of the ways that we continue to
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: build faith and fellowship. Let's go ahead and pray, and
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: then we will get underway. Father, we thank you for
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: this day of preparation. Help us to prepare our hearts
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: and our minds to serve you and to see Jesus
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: when you come, when he comes. In Jesus' name, I
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: pray Amen and Amen again. Okay. So God has a
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: way of disrupting and dismantling the plans of our enemy,
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: of our enemy when we were born, God had plans
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: for us. I know we talked about change of plans yesterday,
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: and I told you that my notes vanished out of
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: my app and I'm not even I did not reconstruct them.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: Let me just say that I wanted to, but I
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: said no, I'm going to just trust God's plan. I'm
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: going to trust God's purposes and we're going to just
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: move forward. We're not going backwards. So I can create
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: a crutch. And so God overrules the devil's plans. The
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: devil had plans for you. The devil has plans for
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: me in my case, disrupt my thought process, disrupt my mind,
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: get me off kilter because I like things to be
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: just so, but they're gone. But if we look at
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: what God has for us, then we know that that
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: has always been the true plan, and whatever the enemy
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: is introduced is a counterfeit. Now go here. The beginning
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: of the Lesson for Today says the Biblical text states
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: that the midwives feared God and did not do as
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: the king had commanded them, but they saved the male
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: children alive. I just want to say thank God for
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: the women of God. I said, thank God for the
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: women of God around the world in all ages. Can
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: you imagine what if these women did not fear God
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: and they destroyed all the babies, including Moses. What would
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: the story be today? What if? What if Abigail did
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: not do what God called her to do? What if Mary,
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: the mother of Jesus, did not do what God told
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: her to do? What if she did not fear God?
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: What if Mary Magdalene did not fear God, especially after
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: Jesus was resurrected, after Jesus took up his life again,
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: that's the better way of saying it, What would have
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: happened to her evangelistic efforts at that moment the first
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: evangelist post the resurrection of Jesus Christ. What if that
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: woman of God, who loved God must much had not
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: done what God called her to do? What if esther?
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: What if Ruth? What if all of these women of
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: God throughout history would have turned their backs on God?
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: Where would we be today, Rahab? What if she after
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: she had learned how to connect with God and trust him?
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: What if she had turned her back on God? Do
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: I need to continue? And so I just want to
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: say a great, big God bless you to the women
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: of God in this world. That people sometimes subjugate, Sometimes
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: people disrespect and malign. Sometimes misogynistic mindsets want to keep
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: you in your place. But God is saying that there
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: were godly women during Moses's day who feared God and
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: did not do what the king said. They did what
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: the King of kings said. Oh, I think somebody just
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: got it. They did not do what the worldly king said,
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: but they did with the King of Kings said and commanded.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: And so orders were issued to the women whose employment
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: gave them the opportunity for executing the command to destroy
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: the children that were of the women of God. Right
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: Satin was the mover in this matter. He knew that
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: a deliverer was to be raised up among the people
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: of God, and by leading the king to destroy their children,
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: he hoped to defeat the divine purpose. But the women
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: feared God and dared not execute the cruel mandate. There
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: are times you have to stand up against cruel mandates. Oh,
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: I just don't have the time. The Lord approved their
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: course and he prospered them. There were some important women
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: that I left out of my discourse a moment ago.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: It was in my notes that are now gone. Yes,
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: I'm going to keep talking about that because God has
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: a way of changing our plans. But I did not
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: neglected to talk about Pharaoh's daughter. What if she hadn't
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: done what God led her to do. I don't know
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: if she knew it was God or not. What if
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: Moses's mommy, What if Moses's sister had not done what
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: God said that they must do? And I want to
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: say thank God for godly women again. Now let's get
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: some lessons, some more lessons out of this. And so
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: I'm going first to let's go with Exodus chapter three
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: and verse seven, and the Lord said, I have surely
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: seen the affliction of my people, and I have heard
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: their cry. This is now as Moses has been led
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: to do his work, right, has led to do his work,
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: and it says here, I've heard their cry and heard
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: their or know their sorrows. God is not distant. He's
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: intimately aware of every pain and injustice. He's not distant.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: This is why the midwives were led to do what
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: they did. He's not distant. This is why as he
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: was preparing Moses first forty years, second forty years. Now
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: it's time to really work. As God is hearing the
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: sorrows and remembering his covenant with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: He says, now is the time, and it's time to
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: deliver my people. So the action for it this moment
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: is to trust that your cries. God has not ignored them.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: He hears you. Keep praying even when deliverance seems delayed.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: Keep on praying, even when your deliverance seems I said,
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: seems delayed. Our second lesson comes from Exodus chapter three
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: and verse eight. The Bible reads, I am come down
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: now to deliver them and to bring them up out
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: onto a land flowing with milk and honey. Jesus is
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: coming down. I think when he was born on planet Earth.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: They said that the Angel said his name will be
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: called Emmanuel, that meaning God with us. He came down.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: He's coming down. God is coming down back in Exodus
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: to deliver the people of God and bring them out
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: out of the land of Egypt into the Promised Land.
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: So God initiates deliverance with purpose and a destination in mind.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: He's not like, I don't know what we're gonna do. Now,
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: let me think about this. He is he has already
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't say strategized, but he has already decided and
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: determined because he's he doesn't need to strategize. He just says,
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: and it is done. And he said, this is the
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: way we're gonna go. This is the pathway that it
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: will take to get there. And so God doesn't just
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: bring us out of something, but he brings us in
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: to something greater. So don't settle for just survival. As
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: Et says, he says that he wants that God wants
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: to bring us into thrival. Shout to the to the
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: hip hop preacher Eric Thomas he brings us into thrival,
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: not just what he's leading you away from, but what
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: he's leading you into. Now, let me just say in
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: Moses's case, as we close here, Yeah, delayed obedience is disobedience.
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: But in this case God was kind and merciful to Moses.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: And even though Moses hesitated, he gave excuses. God used
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: him for his glory. No excuses, use for his glory.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Joining us listening, friends, always remember we cannot live by
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: bread alone, but by every word that comes from the
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: mouth of God. This has been your daily portion with
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: el David Harris. Make it a great day. Yeah,
