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

• 0:15

• 1:29

• 1:33
  Speaker 2: through podcasts, and in so many other ways through these
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: fancy new devices that we have. You said, whether two
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: or three are gathered together in your name, you would
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: be in the midst of us. So thank you for

  Speaker 2: being in the midst of all of your people around
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: the world in this moment of time. Please help us
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: to live like we're in your presence. In Jesus' name,
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: I pray, Amen and amen again, go and worship the
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: Lord now. Okay, So the original context of this wasn't
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: like a happy thing for whoever's voice that was. Yeah,
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: it was the pharaoh, that particular king, the one king
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: that that you know, the Bible says, didn't know Joseph,
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: and he had disrespect for God's people. Not every pharaoh
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: in Egypt had disrespect for God and his people, but
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: this one he was disrespectful, and God had to really
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: press him so that he would understand. He said I
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: don't know who this god is that you keep talking
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: about telling me that I need to let you go.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: So God introduced himself and decimated and disrespect and disrespected
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: the gods that those particular Egyptians at that time were worshiping.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: And so yeah, now you know, Pharaoh, Now you know, uh,
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: now you know, and and and now you are gonna
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: let God's people go, and you want to You're gonna
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: want to get them out of there quickly because any
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: more time in your presence it's gonna be a problem
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: for you. Okay. And so we begin, we begin by
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: looking at Really we're not going to read all of
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: these passages, but from Exodus chapter twelve, thirty one through
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: thirty six, maybe we will. Let's say we can get through.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: And he called for Moses and Aaron by night and said,
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: rise up, get you fourth from among my people, both
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: ye and the children of Israel, and go serve the Lord.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: As you have said, get out of here, like get
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: out of here, get up, get up. And this word kum,
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: the Hebrew word kum for get up means sudden release
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: or rise, urgent release. So the insight I'm thinking about
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: here is this moment marks Pharaoh's surrender. This doesn't mean
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: that Pharaoh started to worship God, Nope, it doesn't mean
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: that he even respected God as God. But he knew
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: that he was coming up. He was bumping up against
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: something that was way bigger than him. So he needed
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: to get those people up out of there so he
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: wouldn't lose everything that he had. But he was a
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: broken ruler under divine pressure. The king who hardened his
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: heart is now pleading for the departure at night, urgently,
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: without negotiation. Not this time. He's not talking about holding
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: nobody back. He's not talking about you know, okay, go
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: ahead and then change his mind, or you know, try
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: to mimic whatever the people of God were doing with
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: his counterfeit magicians. This time it's like, hurry up and
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: get about of here because it's not working out for me.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: And also verse thirty two, take your flocks and your
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: herbs at herds. I don't know why I say herbs
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: your herds, and ye as ye have said, and be gone.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: Now he wants a blessing. He's asking like he's kneeling
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: like Barakh. He's he's asking for divine favor. That was
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: the Hebrew term for this kind of blessings. He's blessing
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: with a kneeling mindset, like I need you to give
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: divine favor. Now, this doesn't mean that he was worshiping God. Pharaoh,
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: once seen as a lowercase God, is now asking for
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: prayer like his empires shattered, his false gods have failed.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: This is an acknowledgment, even though it's shallow, it's hollow,
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: that God's power is supreme. Verse thirty three and the
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: Egyptians were urgent upon the people that they might send
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: them out of the land in haste, for they said,
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: we all be dead men. Urgent, urgent, it's strong, it's force,
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: it's pressure. Get out of here before it's too late
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: for us. But I thought Pharaoh said that he's not
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: gonna let God go, I mean God's people go. I thought.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: I thought he said, well, I don't know him, so yeah,
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: go tell him I'm not doing that. I thought that
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: that was his pasture posture. Well, now now they rushing
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: him out of here before we die. Like urgency. Hmmm,
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: Kazakh strong force, pressure, compulsion. Now instead of forcing them
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: to work, he's trying to force them to get out
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: of there. Verse thirty four and the people took their
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: dough before it was levined. They're kneeding troughs being bound
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: up in their clothes upon their shoulder, symbolism unleaven bread.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: Of course, it represents in this moment haste. They didn't
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: allow it to rise. It was on the way, but
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: now in haste, but in purity, while it's pure, and
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: in obedience. They got up out of there. They were ready.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: God had already warned his people and said, yo, y'all,
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: be ready to go, because it's time to go. When
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: God is saying, be ready, be ready, be ready, are
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: you listening, listening, listening when he said that I'm going
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: to come through for you. Are you awaiting with your
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: staff in your hand, with whatever it is that you
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: know that God has for you to keep with you?
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: Are you ready? Are you looking at the eastern sky
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: looking for the cloud about the size of a man's
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: hand relative as we're looking up. Are you looking for
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: Jesus to come like he said to those who looked
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: for him, to them, he shall appear without sin unto salvation.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: Like are you looking for whatever God has for you
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: while you are living on planet Earth? This deliverance is
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: a symbol of all of that, they were ready. The
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: night of deliverance came just as God had said in
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: verse eleven, and the people followed in faith and obedience,
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: not waiting for perfect preparation. There are some of you
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: who would have overthought that if you didn't have faith.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: I'm saying you said, but where were gonna go? Like
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: how we gonna but what our stuff isn't And then
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: you know, counted yourselves out. But this haste was a
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: part of God's plan fulfilled in the feast of unlovend
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: verse thirty five. And the children of Israel did according
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: to the word of Moses and borrowed of the Egyptians
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: what jewels of silver, jewels of gold, and Raymond, I
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: wish I had the time the booty that which they
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: took from Egypt. In fact, God gave them from Egypt
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: as they were thrust and almost forced out of there. Yeah,
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: God used that to build a sanctuary, because there came
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: a point after God said, have them build me a
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: sanctuary that I may dwell among them. He told Moses
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: to go to those same people who were delivered and
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: thrust out of that land of Egypt, out of the
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: house of bondage, out of slavery, out of their comfort zone.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: Even he said, go to those people, and I want
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: you to take a willful offering from them. Do not
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: receive from them anything that was not given willfully, and
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: then build my sanctuary. Got to the point where the
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: people had given so much, so much of what God
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: had given them. I wish I had the time. We
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: give thee, but thine own whatever it shall be. All
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: that we have is thine alone. Oh Lord, it's a
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: trust from thee. They had given so much to God said, okay,
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: tell them to stop like we got enough. We got enough,
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: We have enough, and so borrowed. It was ax requested,
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: not alone, but it was a divine transfer. Going into
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: verse thirty six, we won't have all the time. Let
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: me just interpret it now, the reversal of power. The
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: former slaves walk out. They walk out wealthy, not begging.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: God shows that his people will not leave bondage empty handed.
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: Make it a great day.
• 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,
