SPEAKER_01 (00:08):
Unusual things happening because God had
something he needed done.
He needed to get his people backinto Israel.
And that was going to requiresome phenomenal events to make
it possible.
And these events could onlyoccur as the faith of God was
(00:31):
activated.
Living by faith is a wonderfulexperience.
Living by faith as believers, wehave the ability to see what we
believe.
That is in contrast to peoplewho believe what they see.
(00:53):
When we know what God wants usto do, we're going to release
our faith.
So let's go into the thirdchapter, the book of Exodus,
beginning at verse one.
Now Moses kept the flock ofJethro, his father-in-law, the
priest of Midian, and he led theflock to the backside of the
(01:16):
desert and came to the mountainof Yad, even to Horub.
And the angel of the Lordappeared unto him in a flame of
fire out of the midst of thebush.
And he looked, and behold thebush burned with fire, and the
bush was not consumed.
And Moses said, I'll now turnaside and see this great sight,
why the bush is not burnt.
(01:37):
And when the Lord saw that heturned aside to see, God called
unto him out of the midst of thebush, and he said, Moses, and he
said, Here am I.
And he said, God said, Draw notnigh hither, put off your shoes,
put off thy shoes from off thyfeet, for the place whereon thou
(01:59):
standest is holy ground.
And moreover he said, I am theGod of thy father, the God of
Abraham, the God of Isaac, andthe God of Jacob.
And Moses hid his face for hewas afraid to look upon God.
Can you imagine what a sightthat was to have that bush just
(02:21):
suddenly burst out in flame?
And what was really interestingwas the bush never consumed.
Because God was speaking.
And God has a plan.
Somebody said there's threespiritual levels or areas of
provision that Christians canlive at.
(02:44):
One is the place of not enough.
No matter how their life goes,there's just never enough.
Not enough time, not enough whatthey thought they should have
had.
And then we've got thosebelievers who live in that place
of just enough.
How are you doing?
(03:05):
I'm just making it through.
And then we've got those wholive in the place of more than
enough.
And faith will take us to theplace of more than enough.
Moses was always God's man.
God had chosen him.
God had a plan for his life.
(03:27):
Just like God's got a plan foryour life.
No matter who we are, God has aplan for our life.
And that made him God's choice.
And God, one of the greatmessages he wants to get through
to us after we're believers, hesays, I've chosen you.
(03:48):
And if we were to stop and thinkjust for a moment, what have I
been chosen to do?
Why should I be chosen?
And quite often what goesthrough our minds is, I'm not
worthy to do anything for God.
Why would God choose me?
Jesus made it very clear inJohn's Gospel, chapter 15, verse
(04:12):
16.
Jesus said, You've not chosenme, but I have chosen you.
When we look at that word, whenJesus said, I've chosen you, it
means I've chosen you out.
I picked you out.
This is what I want you to do.
That's an awesomeresponsibility.
(04:36):
If we had a responsibleposition, it's because we've
been chosen for that positionbecause of gifts and talents and
abilities and many things aboutus that makes us the perfect
choice for that job.
Sometimes we think, I don't knowif I can do that.
(04:56):
You can do it because you'vebeen chosen by God, and how
you're going to do it is walk byfaith.
So he says, I've chosen you thatyou should go and bring forth
fruit, and that your fruitshould remain, that whatsoever
you shall ask of the Father inmy name, he may give it you.
(05:18):
I find that so powerful.
That is such a major statement.
And when Moses was at theburning bush, this was a major
encounter with God.
You're going to have majorencounters with God.
The day that the Lord met youand convicted you of sin, the
(05:39):
day that the Lord came to youand you felt that pull and that
need that you need to be bornagain, Jesus said, You must be
born again.
And when we think about this,that would be a major encounter
in our life.
As you walk in what God wantsyou to do, you're going to often
have encounters.
(06:01):
And whenever we have encounters,it's going to require faith.
When we come to Christ, we don'twalk alone.
That is such a key thing tounderstand.
We are placed in what is calleda body.
And that body would be known asthe body of Christ.
And in Corinthians chapter 12,verse 18, but now hath God set
(06:26):
the members, every one of themin the body, as is pleased him.
This word set is easy to justread through, but it is a key to
help us understand what thisverse is about.
That word set here, it meansconceived.
(06:48):
It means born into a placing.
And you are a great man or agreat woman.
And Christ made us that way.
And we move by faith.
And when we do that which wehave been punched in to do,
(07:12):
we're going to do it skillfully.
We're going to do it well.
And do not doubt what God hasdone in your life, nor doubt
what He's going to do, nor doubtand think that you don't have
any gifting, skills, andabilities.
(07:33):
Every born again believer hasbeen placed into the body for a
task.
When our bodies were formed, theelbow was placed right and does
its job, moves the arm of ourbody.
And we cannot think for onemoment that our calling and our
(07:58):
position is of no consequence.
And Moses had been fleeing, hehad run, he was hiding, and he
was a fugitive.
And God found him on this fieldwhere this bush began to burn
(08:23):
with fire.
We're like a bush.
When we come into the kingdom ofGod, we're like the tree that's
planted by the waters.
In Psalm 92, 13, it says, Thoseplanted in the house of the Lord
shall flourish.
We're planted.
We're going to be passionate.
(08:43):
We have to stay on fire for God.
We cannot for one moment walkaround complacent or thinking
that we're not able to make animpact.
It says in Exodus chapter 3 andverse 2 that the angel of the
Lord appeared unto him in aflame of fire out of the midst
(09:04):
of the bush.
That fire was not a naturalfire.
The Bible says the angel of theLord appeared unto him in a
flame of fire out of the midstof the bush.
And that fire, I believe, wasGod Himself.
That was the presence of God.
I don't think it was anycrackling because the bush was
(09:26):
not consumed.
There's a spiritual fire withinus.
In Luke 3, 16, John answered andsaid unto them all, I indeed
baptize you with water, but onemightier than I cometh, the
latchet of whose shoes I am notworthy to unloose, he shall
(09:49):
baptize you with the Holy Ghostand with fire.
This was a supernatural work ofGod, supernatural fire.
And we know that this fire, thepurpose of what it will do is
that it will make us effective,and that fire will illuminate,
(10:11):
that fire will consume, thatfire will handle issues in our
own personal lives.
One of the things that firedoes, it consumes.
And have the old natureconsumed.
Because if we're going to beeffective in the kingdom, we
have to do it in the realm ofthe spirit.
(10:32):
And so God was doing somethingabsolutely supernatural here.
God was making a leader who wasnow going to be unshakable
because he was going to befacing a lot of things that in
the normal would shake you toyour roots.
As you and I begin to ventureout by faith and find ourselves
(10:54):
moving forward, we're movinginto all kinds of spiritual
activity coming against us.
Demonic activity.
(11:20):
During these times where wewonder what's going to happen
next, what's coming against us,we're going to need people who
will stand firm, who will standfast, they will not be
intimidated, they will not backdown, they will not think for
one moment that God will failthem.
Unshakable in that conviction.
(11:44):
And when we have thatconviction, we're able to
release faith in the samemanner.
When we release faith, we haveto believe that God is speaking
to us.
We have to believe, just likeMoses, that God is guiding us.
We have to believe that God hasa plan for our life.
(12:04):
We have to believe that what wedo makes a difference.
That's how I think.
As a man thinketh, so is he, theBible says.
And if you think that you'restrong and unshakable, and you
think that God is with you, it'sgoing to happen.
That wasn't the whole extent ofwhat was going on.
(12:29):
There was the bush burning, itwas the Lord, and God is going
to speak to him.
It's going to go yet to anotherlevel.
That's the thing about faith.
When you start off, it takes youto another level every time.
Just like Christianity takes youto another level.
You grow in that.
(13:02):
And at this one pivotal momentin his lifetime, Moses said
this.
I will now turn aside and I'mgoing to focus and I'm going to
put everything I've got intowhat's happening before me.
I'm going to stop wrestling.
I'm going to stop worrying.
(13:23):
I'm going to stop running.
I'm going to stop being consumedof all my failures.
And I'm going to turn from thatand I'm going to see, because
God's got my attention.
How many times in your life hasGod got your attention on
something?
When you walk with the Lord byfaith and you walk strong in
(13:44):
God, and the more sensitive youbecome, the more that you walk
in faith, the more that youbelieve that God will talk to
you and will guide you, you willfocus on what He's got to say.
What God has planned for you.
(14:10):
We have to make an effort.
Moses could have sat down by hissheep.
He could have sat totally out ofGod's plan and purpose.
And a lot of people try that.
I have found that I have to makean effort.
If I'm going to go somewhere, ifI'm going to do something, if I
(14:31):
believe that God speaks to meabout going to a nation or
whatever, I then make an effortand I start moving toward that.
And so when he turned aside, theword turn here in the Hebrew, it
means to depart.
Depart.
(14:52):
We're going to bring that thingto an end.
Whatever it is we're involvedin, we're going to bring that to
an end.
Whether some thought patternsthat we have, we're going to
depart from that kind ofthinking.
We're going to depart from that.
We're going to make an end ofthat.
And that is not going to happenanymore.
When you give your heart toJesus, when you say, Jesus, come
(15:15):
into my life and forgive me ofall my sins, and I make you
Savior and Lord of my life.
And what we are saying is whenwe make him Lord of our lives,
that is, we're cutting it off,and we're departing from that,
and we're now going to turn andwe're going to walk in the way
of the Lord.
It sounds easy, it soundssimple, but there has to be an
(15:40):
effort.
And God was drawing Moses thisday.
And Moses said, I will now turnaside.
A lot of times believers said,Yeah, I'm going to do that.
No, now.
That word now is so faithconnected.
That word now suddenly takes usfrom the place of could be,
(16:03):
maybe, to shall be.
Now.
Hebrews 11 1.
Now, faith is the substance.
Now, faith.
And this was his moment, and hecould have refused.
God's plan in life is for us tomake those decisions now.
(16:28):
Sometimes people say, I'm notworthy, I'm not that good.
People know what I was like.
Let me tell you something.
This is what I have found.
You've given your heart to Jesusand you're now walking after the
Lord and you're going to livefor Jesus.
Believers know what that'sabout, but the world does not
(16:48):
know.
They have a hard time thinking.
And I have found when I'm aboutdoing the Father's business, God
has got a great work for me todo and a great work for you to
do.
And you can do it.
Moses was 40 years being ashepherd.
He was a rejected leader.
(17:09):
He was a fugitive.
He was crushed probably manydays, guilt, confusion.
And sometimes people, they havethat, that keeps cropping up.
And they're going to say, Howcan I do anything for God?
God makes all the difference.
When God encounters you, andwhen God comes to you and says,
(17:30):
I've chosen you, that is anawesome thing to think that I've
been chosen by God.
You have been chosen by God.
He called it a great sight.
This means something of greatimportance.
It doesn't have to be earthshattering or earth moving or
(17:54):
earth impacting the world or theplanet.
But every time that you and Istep out by faith and obey God,
that's important.
Every time that we move by God,God wants us to move, we're
moved by faith, that'simportant.
(18:14):
What was happening here?
A major visitation.
The wonderful thing aboutknowing the Lord, being a
Christian, being filled with theHoly Spirit is that we can have
a visitation of God.
Some are more demonstrative thanothers.
And this burning bush incidentwas extremely important.
(18:36):
It says in verse 8.
God said, I am come down todeliver them out of the hand of
the Egyptians and out of theheavenlies, down onto the
earthly realm where we live.
I think that's phenomenal.
I think that's tremendous.
(18:57):
Why?
Because Jesus came down, took onthe form of man, God taken on
the form of man, sacrificedhimself so that we can be
brought into the kingdom of God.
And he's given his spirit, theHoly Ghost is still with us.
God's spirit is still moving,his fire is still burning and
(19:20):
delivering.
It's not over yet, folks.
It's not over yet.
As long as you're walking inyour place where God has called
you and where he's placed you,it is not over.
God said something to Moses thatwe might think as strange.
Take your shoes off.
(19:40):
That was quite a thing.
Because remember, we're readingabout the bush that did not
burn.
We're reading about the bushthat God was in.
We're talking about a placewhere a major move of God is
taking place in a man's life.
Sands would have been very hot.
(20:02):
He would have been walking onthe sand.
Many Christians, before they'llmove in faith, especially in
those who always complain aboutnever having enough, or those
who are just satisfied with alittle bit.
But the ones who have got morethan enough understand what I'm
talking about.
There are three steps to get himhere.
Number one, there was asubmission.
(20:25):
Would he do what God asked himto do to get close to the
burning bush?
Because he was caught up seeingthe burning bush.
But there was going to besomething else.
He had to get near that.
The first thing that we have tooften deal with is submission.
(20:45):
People don't like submitting inthe natural.
When you get past submission,the next thing you're going to
find is perseverance.
Because it takes perseverance tokeep pushing ahead.
Because faith is like that.
As you feel God drawing you,you're going to still keep
(21:05):
pushing ahead.
Once you submit and you keeppushing ahead, and you're going
to find that when you pushahead, faith begins to manifest.
Submit, persevere, and get intofaith.
And when that starts happening,you're going to see the results
of God.
(21:26):
Thank you for joining me today.

Unusual things happening because God had
something he needed done.
He needed to get his people backinto Israel.
And that was going to requiresome phenomenal events to make
it possible.
And these events could onlyoccur as the faith of God was
(00:31):
activated.
Living by faith is a wonderfulexperience.
Living by faith as believers, wehave the ability to see what we
believe.
That is in contrast to peoplewho believe what they see.
(00:53):
When we know what God wants usto do, we're going to release
our faith.
So let's go into the thirdchapter, the book of Exodus,
beginning at verse one.
Now Moses kept the flock ofJethro, his father-in-law, the
priest of Midian, and he led theflock to the backside of the
(01:16):

And the angel of the Lordappeared unto him in a flame of

And he looked, and behold thebush burned with fire, and the

And Moses said, I'll now turnaside and see this great sight,
why the bush is not burnt.
(01:37):
And when the Lord saw that heturned aside to see, God called
unto him out of the midst of thebush, and he said, Moses, and he
said, Here am I.
And he said, God said, Draw notnigh hither, put off your shoes,
put off thy shoes from off thyfeet, for the place whereon thou
(01:59):
standest is holy ground.
And moreover he said, I am theGod of thy father, the God of
Abraham, the God of Isaac, andthe God of Jacob.
And Moses hid his face for hewas afraid to look upon God.
Can you imagine what a sightthat was to have that bush just
(02:21):
suddenly burst out in flame?
And what was really interestingwas the bush never consumed.
Because God was speaking.
And God has a plan.
Somebody said there's threespiritual levels or areas of
provision that Christians canlive at.
(02:44):
One is the place of not enough.
No matter how their life goes,there's just never enough.
Not enough time, not enough whatthey thought they should have
had.
And then we've got thosebelievers who live in that place
of just enough.
How are you doing?
(03:05):
I'm just making it through.
And then we've got those wholive in the place of more than
enough.
And faith will take us to theplace of more than enough.
Moses was always God's man.
God had chosen him.
God had a plan for his life.
(03:27):
Just like God's got a plan foryour life.
No matter who we are, God has aplan for our life.
And that made him God's choice.
And God, one of the greatmessages he wants to get through
to us after we're believers, hesays, I've chosen you.
(03:48):
And if we were to stop and thinkjust for a moment, what have I
been chosen to do?
Why should I be chosen?
And quite often what goesthrough our minds is, I'm not
worthy to do anything for God.
Why would God choose me?
Jesus made it very clear inJohn's Gospel, chapter 15, verse
(04:12):
16.
Jesus said, You've not chosenme, but I have chosen you.
When we look at that word, whenJesus said, I've chosen you, it
means I've chosen you out.
I picked you out.
This is what I want you to do.
That's an awesomeresponsibility.
(04:36):
If we had a responsibleposition, it's because we've
been chosen for that positionbecause of gifts and talents and
abilities and many things aboutus that makes us the perfect
choice for that job.
Sometimes we think, I don't knowif I can do that.
(04:56):
You can do it because you'vebeen chosen by God, and how
you're going to do it is walk byfaith.
So he says, I've chosen you thatyou should go and bring forth
fruit, and that your fruitshould remain, that whatsoever
you shall ask of the Father inmy name, he may give it you.
(05:18):
I find that so powerful.
That is such a major statement.
And when Moses was at theburning bush, this was a major
encounter with God.
You're going to have majorencounters with God.
The day that the Lord met youand convicted you of sin, the
(05:39):
day that the Lord came to youand you felt that pull and that
need that you need to be bornagain, Jesus said, You must be
born again.
And when we think about this,that would be a major encounter
in our life.
As you walk in what God wantsyou to do, you're going to often
have encounters.
(06:01):
And whenever we have encounters,it's going to require faith.
When we come to Christ, we don'twalk alone.
That is such a key thing tounderstand.
We are placed in what is calleda body.
And that body would be known asthe body of Christ.
And in Corinthians chapter 12,verse 18, but now hath God set
(06:26):
the members, every one of themin the body, as is pleased him.
This word set is easy to justread through, but it is a key to
help us understand what thisverse is about.
That word set here, it meansconceived.
(06:48):
It means born into a placing.
And you are a great man or agreat woman.
And Christ made us that way.
And we move by faith.
And when we do that which wehave been punched in to do,
(07:12):
we're going to do it skillfully.
We're going to do it well.
And do not doubt what God hasdone in your life, nor doubt
what He's going to do, nor doubtand think that you don't have
any gifting, skills, andabilities.
(07:33):
Every born again believer hasbeen placed into the body for a
task.
When our bodies were formed, theelbow was placed right and does
its job, moves the arm of ourbody.
And we cannot think for onemoment that our calling and our
(07:58):
position is of no consequence.
And Moses had been fleeing, hehad run, he was hiding, and he
was a fugitive.
And God found him on this fieldwhere this bush began to burn
(08:23):
with fire.
We're like a bush.
When we come into the kingdom ofGod, we're like the tree that's
planted by the waters.
In Psalm 92, 13, it says, Thoseplanted in the house of the Lord
shall flourish.
We're planted.
We're going to be passionate.
(08:43):
We have to stay on fire for God.
We cannot for one moment walkaround complacent or thinking
that we're not able to make animpact.
It says in Exodus chapter 3 andverse 2 that the angel of the
Lord appeared unto him in aflame of fire out of the midst
(09:04):
of the bush.
That fire was not a naturalfire.
The Bible says the angel of theLord appeared unto him in a
flame of fire out of the midstof the bush.
And that fire, I believe, wasGod Himself.
That was the presence of God.
I don't think it was anycrackling because the bush was
(09:26):
not consumed.
There's a spiritual fire withinus.
In Luke 3, 16, John answered andsaid unto them all, I indeed
baptize you with water, but onemightier than I cometh, the
latchet of whose shoes I am notworthy to unloose, he shall
(09:49):
baptize you with the Holy Ghostand with fire.
This was a supernatural work ofGod, supernatural fire.
And we know that this fire, thepurpose of what it will do is
that it will make us effective,and that fire will illuminate,
(10:11):
that fire will consume, thatfire will handle issues in our
own personal lives.
One of the things that firedoes, it consumes.
And have the old natureconsumed.
Because if we're going to beeffective in the kingdom, we
have to do it in the realm ofthe spirit.
(10:32):
And so God was doing somethingabsolutely supernatural here.
God was making a leader who wasnow going to be unshakable
because he was going to befacing a lot of things that in
the normal would shake you toyour roots.
As you and I begin to ventureout by faith and find ourselves
(10:54):
moving forward, we're movinginto all kinds of spiritual
activity coming against us.
Demonic activity.
(11:20):
During these times where wewonder what's going to happen
next, what's coming against us,we're going to need people who
will stand firm, who will standfast, they will not be
intimidated, they will not backdown, they will not think for
one moment that God will failthem.
Unshakable in that conviction.
(11:44):
And when we have thatconviction, we're able to
release faith in the samemanner.
When we release faith, we haveto believe that God is speaking
to us.
We have to believe, just likeMoses, that God is guiding us.
We have to believe that God hasa plan for our life.
(12:04):
We have to believe that what wedo makes a difference.
That's how I think.
As a man thinketh, so is he, theBible says.
And if you think that you'restrong and unshakable, and you
think that God is with you, it'sgoing to happen.
That wasn't the whole extent ofwhat was going on.
(12:29):
There was the bush burning, itwas the Lord, and God is going
to speak to him.
It's going to go yet to anotherlevel.
That's the thing about faith.
When you start off, it takes youto another level every time.
Just like Christianity takes youto another level.
You grow in that.
(13:02):
And at this one pivotal momentin his lifetime, Moses said
this.
I will now turn aside and I'mgoing to focus and I'm going to
put everything I've got intowhat's happening before me.
I'm going to stop wrestling.
I'm going to stop worrying.
(13:23):
I'm going to stop running.
I'm going to stop being consumedof all my failures.
And I'm going to turn from thatand I'm going to see, because
God's got my attention.
How many times in your life hasGod got your attention on
something?
When you walk with the Lord byfaith and you walk strong in
(13:44):
God, and the more sensitive youbecome, the more that you walk
in faith, the more that youbelieve that God will talk to
you and will guide you, you willfocus on what He's got to say.
What God has planned for you.
(14:10):
We have to make an effort.
Moses could have sat down by hissheep.
He could have sat totally out ofGod's plan and purpose.
And a lot of people try that.
I have found that I have to makean effort.
If I'm going to go somewhere, ifI'm going to do something, if I
(14:31):
believe that God speaks to meabout going to a nation or
whatever, I then make an effortand I start moving toward that.
And so when he turned aside, theword turn here in the Hebrew, it
means to depart.
Depart.
(14:52):
We're going to bring that thingto an end.
Whatever it is we're involvedin, we're going to bring that to
an end.
Whether some thought patternsthat we have, we're going to
depart from that kind ofthinking.
We're going to depart from that.
We're going to make an end ofthat.
And that is not going to happenanymore.
When you give your heart toJesus, when you say, Jesus, come
(15:15):
into my life and forgive me ofall my sins, and I make you
Savior and Lord of my life.
And what we are saying is whenwe make him Lord of our lives,
that is, we're cutting it off,and we're departing from that,
and we're now going to turn andwe're going to walk in the way
of the Lord.
It sounds easy, it soundssimple, but there has to be an
(15:40):
effort.
And God was drawing Moses thisday.
And Moses said, I will now turnaside.
A lot of times believers said,Yeah, I'm going to do that.
No, now.
That word now is so faithconnected.
That word now suddenly takes usfrom the place of could be,
(16:03):
maybe, to shall be.
Now.
Hebrews 11 1.
Now, faith is the substance.
Now, faith.
And this was his moment, and hecould have refused.
God's plan in life is for us tomake those decisions now.
(16:28):
Sometimes people say, I'm notworthy, I'm not that good.
People know what I was like.
Let me tell you something.
This is what I have found.
You've given your heart to Jesusand you're now walking after the
Lord and you're going to livefor Jesus.
Believers know what that'sabout, but the world does not
(16:48):
know.
They have a hard time thinking.
And I have found when I'm aboutdoing the Father's business, God
has got a great work for me todo and a great work for you to
do.
And you can do it.
Moses was 40 years being ashepherd.
He was a rejected leader.
(17:09):
He was a fugitive.
He was crushed probably manydays, guilt, confusion.
And sometimes people, they havethat, that keeps cropping up.
And they're going to say, Howcan I do anything for God?
God makes all the difference.
When God encounters you, andwhen God comes to you and says,
(17:30):
I've chosen you, that is anawesome thing to think that I've
been chosen by God.
You have been chosen by God.
He called it a great sight.
This means something of greatimportance.
It doesn't have to be earthshattering or earth moving or
(17:54):
earth impacting the world or theplanet.
But every time that you and Istep out by faith and obey God,
that's important.
Every time that we move by God,God wants us to move, we're
moved by faith, that'simportant.
(18:14):
What was happening here?
A major visitation.
The wonderful thing aboutknowing the Lord, being a
Christian, being filled with theHoly Spirit is that we can have
a visitation of God.
Some are more demonstrative thanothers.
And this burning bush incidentwas extremely important.
(18:36):
It says in verse 8.
God said, I am come down todeliver them out of the hand of
the Egyptians and out of theheavenlies, down onto the
earthly realm where we live.
I think that's phenomenal.
I think that's tremendous.
(18:57):
Why?
Because Jesus came down, took onthe form of man, God taken on
the form of man, sacrificedhimself so that we can be
brought into the kingdom of God.
And he's given his spirit, theHoly Ghost is still with us.
God's spirit is still moving,his fire is still burning and
(19:20):
delivering.
It's not over yet, folks.
It's not over yet.
As long as you're walking inyour place where God has called
you and where he's placed you,it is not over.
God said something to Moses thatwe might think as strange.
Take your shoes off.
(19:40):
That was quite a thing.
Because remember, we're readingabout the bush that did not
burn.
We're reading about the bushthat God was in.
We're talking about a placewhere a major move of God is
taking place in a man's life.
Sands would have been very hot.
(20:02):
He would have been walking onthe sand.
Many Christians, before they'llmove in faith, especially in
those who always complain aboutnever having enough, or those
who are just satisfied with alittle bit.
But the ones who have got morethan enough understand what I'm
talking about.
There are three steps to get himhere.
Number one, there was asubmission.
(20:25):
Would he do what God asked himto do to get close to the
burning bush?
Because he was caught up seeingthe burning bush.
But there was going to besomething else.
He had to get near that.
The first thing that we have tooften deal with is submission.
(20:45):
People don't like submitting inthe natural.
When you get past submission,the next thing you're going to
find is perseverance.
Because it takes perseverance tokeep pushing ahead.
Because faith is like that.
As you feel God drawing you,you're going to still keep
(21:05):
pushing ahead.
Once you submit and you keeppushing ahead, and you're going
to find that when you pushahead, faith begins to manifest.
Submit, persevere, and get intofaith.
And when that starts happening,you're going to see the results
of God.
(21:26):
Thank you for joining me today.
