• 0:01
  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
  Speaker 1: going to change all of that. Let's experience God's words
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: today and receive the power we need to live healthy,

  Speaker 2: Let's go ahead and pray, and then we will get underway. Father,
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: thank you for this day and forgetting us today too
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: in our work week. Father, please help us to do

• 1:51
  Speaker 2: So we're going into our life application guide today and
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: we're going to use let's say, the Relationship's application for today,
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: the Relationship's application. And let's see if I can get
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: if I can get this computer to read for us
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: instead of me. Let's see what we got. Let's go
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: relationships Relationships application. What's important now, encourage others who doubt
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: their ability to fulfill what God has placed before them.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: I internalize the insight God called Moses. While knowing his limitations.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: He equips the called. He does not necessarily call the
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: equipped n Next best move identify someone who feels unqualified
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: for a new role or responsibility speak life into them.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: God equips those he calls Ooh, that's good, that's good,
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: that's good. God has given us dominion over these machines.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: By the way, so that's a quick commercial for people
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: who are like, what, we're using technology. Absolutely, and so
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: God equips the called. He does not necessarily call the equipped.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: I'm not saying without fail I mean, you know what
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: I mean, Like, I don't want you to go to
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: extreme in your mind. The point is there are times
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: that God calls people and they're like, I don't know God,
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: There's so many things that could go wrong and I'm
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: not too sure. And God is like, no, no, no, no, no.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: Like he said to Moses, who made your mouth? When
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: Moses said, well, I can't speak, who made your mouth?
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: Whatever it is that God has called you to do,
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: he is equipping you. He's doing that continually and right now. Okay,
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: and so we begin now with our lessons. You have
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: heard how we can win in our personal space. Now
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: let's look at a few lessons straight out the Bible. Okay,
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: and we're going into Exodus, chapter three and verse seven.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: We'll read this over and over for the next week
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: or so. So just get used to it and the
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: Bible reads, I have surely seen the affliction of my
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: people which are in bondage in Egypt, and have heard
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: their cry, for I know their sorrows. If like King David,
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: if like Asaf, you are crying to God, how long?
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: How long?
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: God?
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: Will you allow this to go on? How long? How long?
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: How long? God doesn't ignore suffering. He doesn't. He is
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: intimately aware of his people's pain and takes personal responsibility
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: to intervene. Sometimes he'll relieve the suffering. Sometimes he'll be
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: with you through your suffering. Sometimes he'll end your suffering.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: Sometimes your suffering will increase. But it is only when
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: God is seeking to do a specific work in you. Okay,
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: So God is always listening. So when you are crying
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: out to God, this is where we need to apply it.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: When you are crying out to God, do so with confidence,
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: Do it aimlessly in the air and asking God if
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: he's hearing you. Of course he's hearing you. It's not
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: a zoom call when it says, okay, come to caller
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: number one or fill in the blank name here. It's
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: time for you to ask your question. Can you hear me?
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: Can you hear me?
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: No?
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, no, no, no. When God is hearing
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: your cry, it's because he already knows what he's going
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: to do for you. He's already known from eternity pass.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: So no, when you're crying out, cry out with confidence,
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: knowing that He is already paying attention to whatever you need,
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: including the fact that you are in pain and you
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: desire relief, God is already at work. The second lesson
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: comes from Exodus, chapter three and verse eleven. Who am
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: I that I should go unto Pharaoh? So God had
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: already given the call to Moses, as he says, take
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: off your shoes from off thy feet, because on the
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: ground that you're standing, it's holy because God is there.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: And the Angel of the Lord is used now as
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: a symbol the messenger, So likely it's Jesus Christ himself coming.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: It's not an angel that was created. But you can
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: go to the lesson to make the distinction. But the
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: fact is that it was the presence of God that
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: Moses was experiencing, and the command was to go and
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: do this specific thing. This is what the Lord said.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: And now this dude is saying, well, who am I
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: that I should go to Pharaoh? I'm sorry I'm sorry.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry, Moses, did you miss what God said? He
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: didn't say because you're somebody, you're nobody. In this case,
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: Moses didn't feel worthy, but God never called him because
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: of his worthiness. He called him based on the divine
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: purpose that God was about to enact through him. So
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: the action is, stop disqualifying yourself. Stop disqualifying yourself when
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: God calls you. When he calls you to do something,
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: his biddings are enablings. When he says to do something,
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: it's because he's already made provision for your ability to
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: do it, and it's always through him. So your worthiness
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: or not worthiness is irrelevant. I'm going to use that
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: word frequently. We just need to submit to God and
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: simply do what he said. God is with you. Then
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: the mission is not about your ability. It's about God
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: and the assignment that He has given to you. So
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: don't haste, I mean, don't delay, part of me. No delay.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: Number three. God always pairs his call with a promise
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: of his presence. Verse twelve of Exodus chapter three says,
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: certainly I will be with thee, Surely I will be
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: with you. God sends people, but he also goes with us.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: He's not just sending you out into the to the wolves.
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: Like he's not sending you out into the wilderness. He's
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: not sending you out into the cold and Siberia or somewhere.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: He is with you. He's with you. He will never
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: leave you, neither will he forsake you. And so the
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: action is before looking at what you're up against. See,
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: that's the first thing we do. We look both ways
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: before we cross the street, because we've learned as children
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: that that's what we should do. And somehow when God
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: gives the command to forward march, we start looking both
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: ways before we march. God didn't say look both ways
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: before you march. He didn't say look both ways before
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: you respond and do. He didn't say look both ways
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: before you leap out into the unknown. He said move forward.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: So before looking at what you're up against, ask who
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: is with you? And Moses said to God at another
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: point in his life, he said, God, if you're not
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: with us, please don't send us. Huh. That changes everything.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: And our fourth and final is coming in from James
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: chapter four and verse six, that God resisteth the proud,
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: but giveth grace to the humble. Ask God for humility,
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: humility prepares the heart to serve faithfully. And the action
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: for this step today or lesson is let your humility
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: keep you dependent upon God, not inactive. God calls the
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: humble because they lean on him to get whatever the
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: job is. D and e when God is with you,
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: who can be against you? Come on man the angel
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: of the Lord, and campeth around God's people. Go with
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: him 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.
