  Speaker 1: Most of us eat every day, some of us too
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: much because yesterday's food is not enough to supply energy
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: for today's needs. Why then, do some of us expect
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: yesterday's portion of heavenly manna the word of God to
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: keep us through today's challenges. On this program, we are
• 0:19

• 1:38
  Speaker 2: One day we'll see you as you are. Please please
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: help us to look forward to that day. But in
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: the meantime, to be to be your your hands and
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: feet in the earth, and to occupy and vest until
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: you come in Jesus name, I pray, Amen and amen
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: again the Song of Moses and Miriam so much to say.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: Let's see if we can package this just right this morning.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: So we're going to begin by reading in Exodus chapter fifteen,
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: just verse one, just verse one. The Bible reads then
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: sang Moses and the children of Israel. So if you
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: are avid readers or you're a writer, then since it
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: says then sang you're looking for, well, what happened before? Well,
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: what happened before is what we talked about. Yesterday. God
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: delivered his people from Egyptian captivity, and then he delivered
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: them through the Red Sea on dry ground. And before
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: I start preaching about that again. I'm going to move forward. Then,
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: the Lord, and spake saying, I will sing unto the Lord,
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: for he hath triumphed gloriously. What I want you to
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: do before we get anywhere else in this lesson is
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: begin to sing unto God. God. The Bible says that
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: he inhabits God, he inhabits the praises of his people.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: I want you to sing unto the Lord because he
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: has triumphed gloriously in the earth before you were even born,
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: Before the people that you know in your ancestry, two
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: or three generations before you were born, way back until
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: Adam and Eve. He triumphed gloriously for them. But in
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: your life he triumphed as well. The only reason you're
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: able to hear me, see me, or sense that we
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: are together today, by whatever means that you are sensing
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: the reality here. I don't know what you are going through,
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: but the only reason that you're still here, no matter
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: your condition, no matter your impediments, if you have any,
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: no matter your triumphs in the moment here, is because
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: He triumphed before this moment earlier today, yesterday, two days ago,
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: six days ago, eighteen days ago, years ago, he triumphed gloriously.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: The horse and his rider hath he thrown down in
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: the sea. Who are the horse and rider in your life?
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: We know that we don't wrestle against flesh and blood,
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: but against principalities and powers, and the rulers of the
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: darkness of this world and spiritual wickedness in high places.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: We know the devil is our enemy. But we know
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: that if we have on the entire armor of God,
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: if we have on those seven implements of war, including prayer,
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: that means that God has triumphed gloriously in our lives,
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: and the horse and his rider he has thrown into
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: the sea, even if we've not seen it yet. But
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: in this case they had already seen it, and so
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: of course God triumphed gloriously. This means, this means the
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: Hebrew term I'm not going to try to pronounce this one.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: It means repeated for emphasis, over and over, they repeated
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: how God triumphed glory, meaning a majestic triumph. And then
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: of course God hurled the enemies of God away in
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: a violent way. They're not coming back from this one,
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: and so Miriam repeated this in verses twenty and twenty
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: one with timbrel and dance. This highlights the corporate worship.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: This highlights in this moment that God saw fit that
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: these women would lead the people in the spirit of testimony.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: The Bible says that the people of God overcame Him,
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: meaning the devil, by the blood of the lamb, and
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: by the word of their testimony. They love not their lives,
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: even to the point of death. And these women being
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: led by Miriam. Don't look at Miriam's entire life and say, oh,
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: she made a mistake here, Oh she made a mistake there.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: In this moment, she understood. She and her sisters understood
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: that the people needed to be led into worship, and
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: they did just that. They led the people into worship.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: The song looks forward to Canaan and reflects the sanctuary
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: themes of victory and dwelling with God. Let me read
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: a couple of quotes to you from the book Testimonies
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: for the Church, Volume four, page five hundred ninety five.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: He who declared Israel then is the delivered Excuse me,
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: Israel then is the same mighty deliverer today do you
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: believe it? Brothers and sisters, do you believe it's the
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: same God who delivered them, who is able to deliver
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: you today. He can still open paths for his people
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: when there seems that's in air quotes to be no way,
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: Oh my, let's go to Patriarchs and Prophets, page two
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: hundred and eighty nine. That song does not belong to
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: the Jewish people alone. So lest you think that that
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: was way back then, all those years ago, just for
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: those people, it points forward to the destruction of all
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: of the enemies of righteousness and the final victory of
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: the people of God. And I've already said to you
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: that we have to look forward to that based on
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: Revelation chapter fifteen, Our opportunity. In our opportunity, Revelation chapter
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: fifteen and verse three, then sang, they sang, meaning the
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: people who have been redeemed from the earth. In the
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: final analysis, they sing the song of Moses, the Servant
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: of God, and the song of the Lamb. Now we
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: see Jesus present, we can actually see him present. There's
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: so much more that I could say. I could say,
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: let's go for some context at that time. So the
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: song of Moses and Miriam was a celebration, yes, but
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: it was theological. And I know even people like me
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: will often say it doesn't need to be a theological
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: disc dission like a cerebral intellectual discussion regarding God. But
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: in this case, it declared that God. This is about theology. Now,
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: God and not Moses. God was the people of God's deliverer.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: It positioned Yahweh, blessed be his name as the warrior, redeemer, judge,
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: and eternal King. These are themes recurring in the scriptures.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: It forecasted their future victory in Canaan and rooted their
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: faith in a proven past. I read one day that
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: we have no reason to fear for the future except
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: we forget what God has done for us in the past.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: And finally, it turned collective trauma. Ooh, some of you
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: are trauma bonding right now. Look it up. I don't
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: have time to explain it, but some are trauma bound
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: to other people or other groups of people. But it
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: turned that collective trauma into a collective praise. It turned
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: that collective trauma for all of those millions of people
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: into a collective praise. This moment also solidified the identity
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: of God's people, not just as escape ease, they're not
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: refugees only, but as the people that are led by
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: their victorious God. So really, this is the last thing
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: I'm going to say for today. If God brought you through,
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: don't just say thank you. Don't be satisfied with just
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: saying thank you. Raise your voice and sing it like
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: you mean it. Yeah, the Lord has triumphed gloriously. Do
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: you believe it? Make it a great day. Peace.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us listening. Friends. Always remember we cannot
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: live by bread alone, but by every word that comes
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: from the mouth of God. This has been your daily
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: portion with El David Harris. Make it a great day. Yeah,
