  It is Wednesday and I am so tough that you have pressed play

  and that you and I are going to get to read another chapter of
• 0:30
  this fascinating book that we read to hear how God is rescuing
• 0:36
  his people from their predicament.
• 0:38
  And today, Boyd today we begin the story.
• 0:41
  Story in Earnest today. God's plan starts to be carried
• 0:46
  out and it all happens, all that talk of God displaying his power
• 0:51
  to force pharaoh, to let his people go well, Buckle
• 0:56
  yourselves in. Well, if you're driving, you
• 0:57
  should already be buckled in. But for the rest of you Buckle
• 1:00
  yourselves in, because it's about to get real, let us read
• 1:03
  together. Exodus chapter 7,
• 1:16
  Then the Lord said to Moses, pay close attention to this, I will
• 1:21
  make you seem like God to pharaoh and your brother.
• 1:25
  Aaron will be your profit, tell Aaron everything, I command you.
• 1:30
  And Erin must command pharaoh, to let the people of Israel,
• 1:34
  leave his country. But I will make Pharaoh's heart
• 1:38
  stubborn. So I can multiply my miraculous
• 1:41
  signs and wonders in the land of Egypt.
• 1:44
  Even the Pharaoh will refuse. Choose to listen to you.
• 1:47
  So, I will bring down my fist on Egypt, then I will rescue my
• 1:52
  forces. My people, the Israelites from
• 1:56
  the land of Egypt, with great acts of judgment, when I raise
• 2:01
  my powerful hand and bring out the Israelites, the Egyptians
• 2:05
  will know that I am the Lord. So, Moses and Aaron did just as
• 2:11
  the Lord had commanded them. Moses was 80 years old and Aaron
• 2:16
  was 83, when they made their demands to Pharaoh, then the
• 2:20
  Lord said to Moses and Aaron Pharaoh will demand, show me a
• 2:25
  miracle when he does this. Say to Aaron, take your staff
• 2:31
  and throw it down in front of pharaoh, and it will become a
• 2:34
  serpent. So Moses and Aaron went to
• 2:37
  pharaoh and did what the Lord had commanded them.
• 2:41
  Aaron, threw down his staff before pharaoh and his
• 2:44
  officials. And it became a serpent and
• 2:47
  Pharaoh called his own wise men and Sorcerers.
• 2:50
  And these Egyptian magicians did the same thing with their magic.
• 2:54
  They threw down their staffs which also became serpents but
• 2:59
  then Aaron staff swallowed up their staffs Pharaoh's, heart.
• 3:04
  However, remained hard, he still refused to listen, just as the
• 3:08
  Lord had predicted. Then the Lord said to Moses
• 3:13
  Pharaoh's heart is stubborn, and he still refuses to let the
• 3:16
  people go. So go to Pharaoh in the morning
• 3:20
  as he goes down to the river, stand on the bank of the Nile
• 3:23
  and meet him there, be sure to take along the staff that turned
• 3:26
  into a snake then announced to him the Lord, the god of the
• 3:31
  Hebrews has sent me. Me to tell you, let my people
• 3:36
  go, so they can worship me in the wilderness until now you
• 3:42
  have refused to listen to him. So this is what the Lord says.
• 3:46
  I will show you that. I am the Lord look, I will
• 3:50
  strike the water of the Nile with this staff in my hand, and
• 3:54
  the river will turn to blood the fish in, it will die and the
• 3:59
  river will stink. The Egyptians will not be able
• 4:02
  to drink. Any water from the Nile.
• 4:05
  Then the Lord said to Moses, tell Aaron take your staff and
• 4:10
  raise your hand. Over the Waters of Egypt, all
• 4:13
  its rivers, canals ponds and all the reservoirs turn all the
• 4:18
  water to blood everywhere in Egypt.
• 4:21
  The water will turn to blood, even the water stored in wooden
• 4:24
  bowls and stone pots. So Moses and Aaron did just as
• 4:29
  the Lord commanded them as pharaoh and all of his
• 4:32
  officials. I've watched Aaron raised his
• 4:35
  staff and struck the water of the Nile.
• 4:38
  Suddenly the whole river turned to blood the fish in the river
• 4:42
  died and the water became so foul that the Egyptians couldn't
• 4:46
  drink it. There was blood everywhere
• 4:48
  throughout the land of Egypt. But again, The Magician's of
• 4:52
  Egypt used their magic and they to turn water into blood.
• 4:57
  So Pharaoh's heart remained hard.
• 4:59
  He refused to listen to Moses and Aaron just as the The Lord
• 5:03
  had predicted Farah returned to his Palace, and put the whole
• 5:07
  thing out of his mind. Then all the Egyptians Doug
• 5:11
  along the riverbank to find drinking water for, they
• 5:14
  couldn't drink the water from the Nile, seven days passed from
• 5:18
  the time. The Lord struck the Nile
• 5:31
  Lord, It's Easy for us to hear the story and say, Tut Tut
• 5:35
  Pharaoh, how can your heart be so hard?
• 5:39
  But she will like that, aren't we?
• 5:42
  I bet there are so many times you're trying to convict us of
• 5:45
  one thing or another or trying to lead our hearts in your
• 5:48
  direction and we just stubbornly refused to follow you and you're
• 5:55
  leading I pray that you would soften our hearts.
• 6:00
  That you would make them receptive to your calling that
• 6:04
  you would draw Us in an in your Embrace.
• 6:07
  We would melt away and all that would be left, is you Jesus
• 6:13
  Come, Holy Spirit, transform us so that we can truly have your
• 6:20
  heart to love as you want us to love.
• 6:25
  We pray this in your name Jesus. Amen.
• 6:12
  Jesus Come, Holy Spirit, transform us so that we can
• 6:19
  truly have your heart to love as you want us to love.
• 6:25
  We pray this in your name Jesus. Amen.
