Speaker 3 (06:32):
A word from the Lord.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Tonight, after the mission of the Holy Spirit, we are
going to be reading into your hearing the word coming
from Deuteronomy chapter one, Deuteronomy chapter one, and we are
going to be bottle of ring versus twenty one through
thirty eight Domed chapter one, and we are going to
(06:57):
read into your hearing beginning at verse twenty one down
to verse thirty eight. And the words of the Lord
reads this way. It said, behold, the Lord, thy God,
have set the land before thee go up and possess it.
(07:19):
As the Lord God of thy fathers have said unto thee,
saar not neither be discouraged. And ye came near unto
me every one of you, and said, we will send
men before us, and they shall set us out the
(07:39):
land and bring us words again. By what way, we
must go up and eato what sites we shall come,
and the saying, please me well. And I took twelve
men of you, one of a tribe, and they turned
(08:02):
and went up into the mountain, and came into the
valley of Eshcold and searched it out. And they took
of the fruit of the land in their hands and
brought it down unto us, and brought us word again,
(08:24):
and said, it is a good land reached. The Lord
our God doth give us. The Lord our God give
us not this standing. He would not go up but
revel against the commandment of the Lord your God. And
you murmured in your tents, and said, because the Lord
(08:49):
hated us, he had brought us for out of the
land of Egypt, to deliver us into the hand of
the Emerits, to destroy us. Where the shall we go up?
Our brethren have discouraged our heart, sing them. The people
(09:13):
is greater and taller than we. The cities are great
and walled up to heaven. And moreover we have seen
the suns of the Anakams there. Then I said, unto you,
dread not neither be afraid of them. The Lord your God,
(09:38):
which goeth before you, he shall fight for you according
to all that did for you in Egypt before your eyes,
and in the wilderness where thou hast seen, how that
the Lord thy God bear Thee as a man doth
(10:01):
bear his son, in all the way that she went
until ye came into this place. Yet in this send
ye did not believe the Lord, your God, who went
in the way before you to search you out a
(10:22):
place to pitch your tents, in in fire by night,
to show you by what way you should go, and
in a cloud by date, and now come. In the
verse thirty four, the Lord heard the voice of your words,
and was wroth and swear, saying, surely there should not
(10:48):
one of these men of this evil generation see that
good land which I swear to give unto your father's,
say Caleb, the son of Jeffana, He shall see it,
and to him will I give the land that he
(11:09):
has trodden upon, and to his children, because he has
holy followed the Lord. Also, the Lord was angry with
me for your sake, saying, thou also shalt not go
in fitter and verse thirty eight. But Josh, show up,
(11:34):
the son of None, which standeth before thee. He shall
go in fitter encourage him, for ye shall call Israel
to in carriage it the reading of the Lord unto
(11:57):
his people. Our topic for discussion on tonight is faith
during your wilderness experience. Faith during your wilderness experience. We
(12:19):
would actually open up this Bible study discussion tonight with
a short introduction to give it just a little bit
of information about Doueronomy, and it lead us into the
preface our discussion on tonight. Deeronomy was written by Moses
(12:41):
around sixteen forty five BC in the Planes of Moab,
which was a pagan country by Jordanaire Jericho, written just
before the Israelite entered into none. The book contains a
(13:03):
summary of the wilderness wanderings, warning against sin, prophecies concerning
the future of Israel and the Palestinian Covenants. Now, we
should understand that we all go through individual wilderness experiences.
(13:29):
The problem is not the experience itself, however, it is
how we as a people act in our faith, or
how we react to the circumstances, whether we remain faithful
(13:51):
or whether we respond as faithless immature Christians. As this
was addressing the children of Israel in distext that we
are going to talk about tonight he was speaking as
an oracle of God, reminding them how God had brought
(14:14):
them up and out of Egypt, Egypt was a place
of bondage and made them promises to take them into Cana,
the promise of land. When we know that it was
the Lord who brought us through a difficult trial and
(14:38):
tribulation what was seemingly our wilderness experience, we then realized
that it was our faith, not our fear, but our
faith that helped us endure during our wilderness experience. It
(15:00):
is when we lose our faith during the struggle is
what all of us to walk as defeated and not sure,
as spiritually illiterate people that do not trust nor believe
(15:22):
in God and his promises.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
Now, as we attempt to.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
Look a little closer at what the scriptures are same
to us tonight, where we look at we're going to
kind of group them together tonight, because as you see,
there's several passages tonight if we want to try and
cover them all when we look at verses twenty one
(15:53):
through twenty six, we're not going to reread them all tonight,
but we're going to do his man and the time.
When we look at those certain passages of scripture. Moses
was trying to encourage the people to remain strong and
(16:13):
stay focused on the promises of Almighty God and not
grow weary again. He said to them in verse twenty one, behold,
the Lord thy God have set the land before thee.
(16:40):
Now go and posess it. As the Lord God of
thy father said to thee. Don't be afraid, fear not,
and don't get discouraged. And as we go through these passes,
I want us to personalize the same method that Moses
(17:05):
was speaking to the Sun of Israel, because the Lord
have made promises to us certain things. He had told
us whatever we'reever out of foot land, that we can't
possess it, whatever our hands touch, we can own it.
(17:28):
But how many of us tonight believe it. But because
of the trials and tribulations and the circumstances and the
struggles that were going through to us, I'm sure we
may feel no different than the children of Israel when
(17:48):
they came up out of Egypt and they was trying
to get to the promised land. Even when they crossed
the Red Sea and was in the wilderness, they was
going through that wilderness experience. They felt that really, God,
we went through all that in Egypt. We did all
(18:08):
our bests to get away from, you know, from the
from that harsh leader that we were under when we
was down there in Egypt. And now you got us
all the way here from under Pharaoh, got us across
the red seat, and now we still here in the wilderness.
(18:30):
Is anything really gonna ever change from us? Do you
hear all of the moaning and growing and complaining and
the gripping. Do you hear any gratituding any of that?
I pray that none of us are thinking along those lines.
Some of us may be in of what feels that
a wilderness expirit. But God say, even while you in
(18:52):
the wilderness, you can still possess what I promise you,
because I'm a guard that lie. And if I promise
it to you, it's not that you can't possess it,
but you are delaying it because of where your faith is.
(19:13):
Is your moaning and is your groaning, and your attitude
about your willingness experience is what's delaying it to be
longer manifest thin. You know, since they did not talking
about the children of Israel, since they did not trust
the word of their leader, Moses. They made a request
(19:39):
that they made a request of Moses in verse twenty two,
and he reminded them, sining, you can nail unto me,
every one of you, and you said to me you requested,
will sin see the people made a suggestion. First, they
(19:59):
made a suggestion, we will sing men before us, and
they shall search us out the land and bring us
word again. By what way we must go up and
into what said we shall come. Moses was ready to
(20:22):
take the people into the land, and for us, that's it,
because the God promises. Moses was ready to act on
what the Lord said. Who cared if they was going
through hey wilderness experience? Moses the leader his experiences regard
is that he knew God would do what he say.
(20:44):
But here's these Israel. They are heart headed, stip make
and rebel yourself. The only thing they did after they
got out from on the Pharaoah, all the way down
to the Wisdomness. They were there willing to get into.
Speaker 3 (20:59):
The promised land.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
Everything Moses had to say to them, all they they
was complaining and kick against the bridge. They didn't pay
any attention to what Moses had to say. So now
they didn't want to trust the word that mosas say, God,
old Joe, if we're going into the Promised Land and
to possess what God promised us. Oh no, no, before
(21:24):
we go in, we need to send some spies in.
We're gonna send some boys over the at first, and
they're gonna check it out before we go over there,
because they couldn't trust the words of their leader. Moses
responded favorably. But what Moses did first of all, he
(21:45):
went and he talked to the lawd about it. Initially
he would have gone on it, but he had senf enough.
He consulted the Lord about it to see what God
had to say. We better stop get the head of
the Lord and is fent me God to bless us.
Don't care how long it takes, no matter how long
(22:08):
go wait. We need to consult the Lord and we
will always be proper us and successful. So Moss responded
favorably after consulting God, brother or not to send the
spies to investigate the land again. Initially, he was stressed
(22:28):
out by the people approached him and would have gone
on in without first investigatment, but his faith in God
caused him to inquire of the Lord first. Before sending
me in the spies at the people's request. When we
look at verses twenty three to twenty six, again Moses
(22:51):
told them and the saying please me or favorably, he
ain't favoritely responded to them, and the saying please me.
So I took twelve men from y'all, twelve of y'all
out of the crowd, out of y'all, one of each tribe,
and I compiled for a group of y'all of twelve.
(23:14):
And they turned and they went. They went on up
into the mountains, and they went into the value of
its call to search it out, and they took up through.
When they got to that land, they found it was
a very very good rich land. They came back and
they brought back throats down the US, and they brought
(23:35):
the word back down that it was a good land,
just fact that God had promised them that it was
a rich land.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
It was a good land.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
It was a place that where they could be blessed
if they would get there.
Speaker 3 (23:47):
They could be blessed in the land.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
But isn't it something that when God sends up and
tells us that you can be blessed if you do this,
or if you do that. But all we do is
grumble and carry on in more and grown, and we
cut ourselves off from the blessing. And we know we
on our way to a blessing. And as the old
people will say, we cut off our nose spite our faith.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
Man, if you'll be messed around, you ain't.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
Even gonna have no nose on your face, because all
you do is long. When they grown, they carry on
all the time, and you will never get the blessing,
or never get to the blessing that God promised you.
And you know it's a blessing over there waiting on you,
but because of your own mouth, you will never get
to that blessing. So they found out. They brought back fruits,
(24:34):
and they brought back a word. It's a good land
over there, Yes it is. It's a good land. So
they came back with a good word on one hand,
but we're gonna find out in a little while they
had a negative word on another hand. In these verses,
the spies went and they investigated again. As we say,
(24:55):
they brought back a good word, and they know that
they could subside when they got up there. Despite the
discovery that the lad was everything, it was everything that
God had described until them, those the most of the tails.
No lit they had to see it for their own set.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
They brought back that good word.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
And if they had really had listened at Moses in
the beginning, that Moses told them what the Lord said,
they would have been blessed.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
They'reby much sooner.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
They would have been blessed much sooner. And this, let
me tell you some blessings. That they would have been
able to reap the benefits of the blessings. They would
have been settling in Canaan forty years earlier.
Speaker 3 (25:42):
Remember now, they.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
Wanted in the wilderness for forty years on a journey
that only should have taken forty days. And we're gonna
find out this that suggested that he stand inside. These
were the older generation. They never got there. These were
the older generations that these all this complaining, mourning and groaning,
(26:07):
they never got to reap the benefice. Know they didn't
because God, purse of God got God got upset. Moses
couldn't do nothing with them. But God got upset with
all that carrying on. They did. That foolishness that they
carried on. They they didn't believe nothing that Moses came
back and told them what thus saith the Lord and
(26:28):
God got upset about that. But they could have settled
much earlier in the land of Canaan, forty years earlier.
But they died out there in the wilderness. The old generations,
they would not have been cursed and condemned to die
in the wilderness. Okay, the younger generation, the children that born,
(26:52):
the generation of children that born in the wilderness. They're
the one that got in the promised laying, not the
general that came out of Egypt, but the one that
born in the wilderness. They're the ones that needed each
of the promised land. The other blessing that they would
have gotten was freedom from the forty years of hardships,
(27:13):
legs and other curses. They brought it on themselves with
all that moaning, ain't growning and all that complaining. Again,
it prolonged the front sss. But God let them say
out that forty years to see it their heart would change.
But no, they never changed. They remained the same. So
they cut themselves on. They can't blame that on God.
They brought it on themselves. They're on bravery. Bravery would
(27:39):
have been confirmed and God would have honored their bravery. No,
but God had enough of them, and guess what, He
let the Amirits have his their way with them, and
then they would not have suffered disgreat and defeat by
their enemies. M my mind. So see, we didn't know
(28:02):
a hush. We need to know how to be quiet
before God. We need to know how even going through
our willness experience, we need to see You know what, God,
This don't feel good to me at all, but I
still trust you that you have a reason. There's a
purpose for why I'm going through this wilderness experience. And
it's not necessarily because I did anything wrong God. But Lord,
(28:26):
maybe you is allowing this. We need to go through
this for a testimony. I haven't done anything wrong, y'all.
Remember we remember the story about Joel. Joe didn't do anything,
but Joe lost everything he had. And Joe was a
rich man and he lost it all. But Joe never
lost his faith in the Lord. There was supposed to
(28:49):
be his three bestness of buddies sit by his bed,
blaming Joe for everything.
Speaker 3 (28:54):
They could think of. Joe never responded to them.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
See, everything don't need to be entertained, no matter what
people say, We don't have to entertain what people say.
We don't owe them no explanation. Keep your faith in God.
I don't care what will Nu's experience you are going
through to night.
Speaker 3 (29:12):
You don't have to entertain what people are saying.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
Oh you, I know you had to do something wrong,
because if God love you, God wouldn't let you go
through that.
Speaker 3 (29:20):
God is not doing it to you. He's allowing it.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
But we need to grow through it. Not just go
through it, but grow through it. Let it be an
experience of time to grow in the Lord and stop
focusing so much on what I'm going through. But God,
if I got to go through it, I'm going to
grow through it and get crosser to You and get
(29:46):
strong Earth while go I'm going through it. Wow, that's
my fool right there, at this present time, at this point,
you see, God already brought the children of Israel across
the red seat on dry land, and just that quick
they have forgotten who in the world to stand and
(30:09):
look at a bigger, whole fun river of water, And
then overnight you got a whole dry driveway for you
to walk down on dry land and water kick.
Speaker 3 (30:21):
Back on both sides for you to walk.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
Across on a dry land and water standing up on
both sides of you. They just just that quick. They
forgot how God brought them over on dry land and
water standing up on both sides, and he drown Pharaohs
on it in the sea. And they was able to
see that with their own eyes. But yeah, they complained,
(30:47):
showed no gratitude at all to God for what God
had just done for them in the widerness. Who God
down across the red seat and forgot if he did it,
then he'll do it again. We're gonna have wilderness experiences
in our life. But how soon do we forget every
(31:10):
time that God bring us up on the wrong on
the ladder, We look back down the letter and see
how many wrongs have he brought us up? And we
go higher, and we go higher on the ladder and
look back down and say, Okay, he brought me up
from that wrong.
Speaker 3 (31:25):
He brought me up from that wrong.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
I couldn't have gotten up here if God had not
brought me in this form.
Speaker 3 (31:30):
Every round goes.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
Higher and higher, and the how you we go, there's
another wilderness experience that God has brought us through. Think
about that.
Speaker 3 (31:40):
So he brought them on through the red sleet, on
dry labor over into the wilderness.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
Yet they were still moaning and growning and complained about
everything their humble leader, Moses had.
Speaker 3 (31:55):
To say during their willerness experience.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
The scripture lets us know that they, instead of walking
in faith, being responded harshly to every word of the
Lord that Moses gave unto them. Moses tried to keep
them encouraged, reminding them of God's command and promise for
(32:18):
them to take possession of Canaan and not get discouraged
or become afraid of their enemies, the emirs. But because
of their lack of faith, they did not trust the
word of Moses, nor did they trust God, instead being
(32:43):
rebelled against God's commandment to possess the land. Now, if
God tell you to possess the land, why that's a
good thing. Why would return and rebel against God? As
though God told us to do something criminally? He say, go,
(33:04):
he possessed the land, Jerry. And if that's something that
Jared had on his heart, and if he had the
praying to God, God, God.
Speaker 3 (33:12):
I want that house over there. God, God is.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
In my heart. That's the one that I want.
Speaker 3 (33:16):
I don't want that across town.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
I want that right over there, across the street over there,
that's the one that I want. And the Lord says, well,
go ahead on the possessor, go ahead on the talk
to the people and they'll.
Speaker 3 (33:27):
Sign the papers with you. And you have to go
through all these hood all this bire officers say to
try to get into the house.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
That's the one. And when God say to go ahead and.
Speaker 3 (33:37):
Her possessor, then why will you rebel against God? And say, well,
I don't.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
Know God, that we come up with all these excuses,
and that's rebellion. When we know that God he get
us our answer, they we start coming up all these excuses,
why we cannot do what we know? When we say,
but the Lord told me to go ahead on the
side and talk to the people. And God told me
that he is gonna sign the papers with me that
I went or go through all this.
Speaker 3 (34:01):
I'm about to jump through all these zooms that the
Lord's gonna that the people are gonna do it. Then
why will we come up with all these excuses that is.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
Nothing but complaining and mourning and go and that is
rebellion against God. He say go put that said go
across the streets and shout on the poet, go against
or go across that street and do a jericho walk
around that. I mock your territory around the house that
God told you, stupid, that's it, then you'll go after it.
(34:31):
And that is already yours of God. They don't rebel
against the Lord. So what happy here? In very true
the self? And you murmured, what mos the thought? And
you murmured when I told you God, they go possess
the land? You murmured in your tents, and you say
it because.
Speaker 3 (34:48):
The lawd hated us?
Speaker 1 (34:51):
What kind of foods is that? Because the Law hated us,
you know, brought us all the way up out of Egypt,
now out of that hand of Pharaoh that ruled over
down with an iron rods beat them every day while
they're trying to work. They're trying to make breaks with
no straw.
Speaker 3 (35:07):
And here they talking about the Lord hate them.
Speaker 1 (35:10):
He hated us. He have brought us out of the
land of Egypt to deliver us into the hands of
the Amurits, to destroy us. If he wanted them to die,
he didn't have to bring them up out of Egypt
for them to be killed He could have left them
down there on the hand of Pharaoh, and Pharaoh could
have killed them right there. If God wanted to kill them,
(35:31):
he could have let them drown in the red seat.
He said, are drowning Pharaoh's army. He could have let
them get in the middle of the red seat and
then drown them off. He would have to bring them
a process and let them come over there into the wilderness.
But here they are moaning and groaning, no faith in
their wilderness experience. How many of us speak so faithlessly
(35:56):
during our wilderness experience, beat against God because we find
ourself going through situations we don't seem to understand. The
inter lit spide felt that God didn't love them if
he would send them out into such a seemingly perilous situation.
(36:21):
What they saw was a scary sight that caused their
hearts to palpitate beyond normal Verse twenty eight fruits. They
became fifthful and could not maintain their faith. The verse reads,
this week, whether shall we go up? Our brethren have
(36:46):
discouraged our hearts, saying the people is greater and taller
than we, The cities are great and walled up to heaven,
and moreover, we have seen the sun of the Anakin there.
Now Anakin are real tall, big old gipe size people.
(37:09):
Now their hearts are struck with fear. It's a good
lad it bears a good fruit, it's rich in soil.
And we could survive there, but them big old, tall,
grown verjiite side people over death, and we little old
people were that grasshoppers in they sight. We ain't not
(37:30):
gonna be able to survive with them. What if God
say gonna possess the land? You think God is afraid
of the gian over there? He says gonna be afraid
of them. You see yourself as a grasshopper that you
see yourself as the grass oper. You see yourself as
small in the side of those giants. God is bigger
(37:54):
than your giant. Stop seeing yourself as a grasshopper. Seyt.
They think twelve spies were sinn. Ten other spies return
and out of fear. That's why everybody can't go with you,
because everybody don't have the faith that you have to
(38:14):
be careful who do let me dragged around behind you.
Speaker 3 (38:17):
Because some people got too much fear.
Speaker 1 (38:21):
If you going on a faith journey, you need people
who got a lot of faith You don't need.
Speaker 3 (38:25):
Scary people to be followed behind you, not when.
Speaker 1 (38:29):
You going on a powerpack fear of faith journey, Come
on now, because they're gonna bring back the wrong report
and make people be a friend. So ten of the
spies return, and out of fear, they reported that they
saw Johnny people greater and taller than they were. How
can a little this is what they say?
Speaker 3 (38:51):
How can not trying to put it on God? How
can a loving father even.
Speaker 1 (38:57):
Suggest that we go up again the giants?
Speaker 3 (39:01):
Well? Are we any difference.
Speaker 1 (39:05):
If we had if we would be honest during our
wiserness experiences? In many cases when trouble comes, we tend
to exaggerate the size of the problem because of our
fear that things are not going to work out. Wow,
(39:29):
we lose faith and we think in the middle of
the storm because we don't trust and believe that God
is with us and we will bring and that He
will bring us through. He will only bring us through,
(39:52):
he will bring us out. Don't you know? If he
bring us to it, he will bring us through it.
And if he bring us to it and through it,
that means he gonna bring us out of it. That's
the same thing he did for the Israelite He brought
them to the red seat. He brought He didn't leave
(40:12):
them at it, but he brought them to it. They
didn't know how they was gonna get on to the
other side, but he brought them through it. And when
he brought them through it, then he bring them all
the way out of it. So he do the same
thing for his children today. If he brings you to it,
he allowed you to have a willernessus spears he will
(40:33):
bring you to it, He will take you through it,
and he will bring you out of it. If you
don't remember nothing else that doctor d said on this
line tonight, you better remember that if he brought me
to it, he gonna take me through it, and he
gonna bring you out of it. So you better remember
that tonight. So we need to thank God for those
(40:55):
people who are in our lives back when we are
so fake, fretful, and we are so fearful, and we
get burned on during our willderness experiences that we can't
see the light at the end of the dunnel. There
(41:15):
is someone that.
Speaker 3 (41:17):
God uses as a guiding.
Speaker 1 (41:20):
Light to help us see our way through e Verses
twenty nine through thirty one, Moses said to them, Then
I said, unto you, dreadnought.
Speaker 3 (41:36):
Moses, still trying to encourage them.
Speaker 1 (41:38):
Dread not neither be afraid of them.
Speaker 3 (41:43):
The Lord Joe, God which goes before.
Speaker 1 (41:46):
You, he sell sight for you according to all, not some,
but all that He did for you in e Egypt.
Speaker 3 (42:00):
Before your eyes.
Speaker 1 (42:04):
All those plagues that God sent on the land of Egypt,
all those Egyptians they suffer, you didn't suffer nothing that
those plays. When God sent those plagus down there on
those Egyptians, you didn't suffer any of that. The Lord
took cave you, and he protected you. Your own eyes
(42:28):
saw that, and you still complained, mourning and groaning and
carrying on. He said. And then the wilds that verse
thirty one, where thou hast seen how that the Lord,
our God bear thee as a man dog bared his
(42:49):
son in all the way that you with until you
came into this police. Even when you was in the
wilderness doing all that crying and craving on and this
morning and groaning and this and that nothing that I said,
God was still taking care of you. He fed you,
(43:11):
sending quail meet down from Helen, send a manner down
from Hell. Whereever you need it. He sent it down
to keep you fed. Your clothes didn't even wear out.
Speaker 3 (43:22):
You had on the same clothes.
Speaker 1 (43:23):
Your shoes, even the bottom of your shoes didn't never
rock out. And you still come plain. You see these
things with your own eyes. Yet your faith failed God.
You stood in fear and refused to walk in feat Guinea.
(43:49):
These versions that I just read more just appealed to
the Israelite to not focus on the appearance of the
what seemed to be giants, but to keep their attention
on the many mighty acts of God that he had
(44:09):
already performed for them while in Egypt, and since they
left Egypt until this very time of being in the wilderness.
Moses continued in verse twenty in verse thirty two, saying,
(44:30):
Yet that's when when I saw this very it made
my heart hurt me made my heart go out to Moses.
He said, Yet in this thing he did not believe
the Lord your God, all this that God did. Yet
(44:52):
is there a yet with us tonight all that God
had already done? Yet do we still not be believe
that what we are facing now? Yet in the wilderness
experience that we are enduring now, Do we still not
believe that if God did all that for me in
(45:13):
my past? Do I not believe that God is able
to bring me through this wilderness experience that I'm going
through now?
Speaker 3 (45:22):
Modes say, Yet in this thing he did not believe
the Lord O God, people of God.
Speaker 1 (45:33):
When we begin to doubt God and become faithless in
our wilderness experience, it is we God had gotten there
to do it. It is we that moves God to
anger and cause.
Speaker 3 (45:50):
Him to withdraw his hand of mercy.
Speaker 1 (45:54):
We don't want God to chickens hain't off of us.
But if God get angry, the word let us know.
We don't want to fall into the hands of an
angry God. And then we and He will exact righteous
judgment upon a meaning in anything that God decides to
do to us. He is righteous Indians Indians doing We deserve.
Speaker 3 (46:17):
Whatever we get from God.
Speaker 1 (46:20):
Very thirty three. He says, who went in the way,
Look what the Lord did? He went in the way
before you to search you out a place to pitch
your tents, in in fire by night, to show you
by what way you should go, and in a cloud
(46:41):
by thee when he was trying to get you away
from a pharaoh's army when they was coming after you,
he protected you. Yes, he did fire by night and
a cloud by day, so you could see where you
was going in the daytime as well as in the
night time. And he put it between you all and
(47:04):
between federal's armies soil they couldn't even get to you
while you are traveling trying to get.
Speaker 3 (47:12):
To the promised land.
Speaker 1 (47:14):
Who wouldn't serve a god like that?
Speaker 3 (47:17):
Why have fear gone through a wilderness.
Speaker 1 (47:20):
Experience knowing that you got far protection from Yojohoah Dollar,
that's your God had the new that provides and Yojohovah
niece that covers you and protects you, and that raises
a battle over you to hide you from your enemy.
Motives reminded them that they knew God existed because he
(47:46):
went before them to protect them. Yet all they did
was showed their faithlessness by murdering against God. All the
miracles that Israel had seen did not cure them of
their unbelief. This also is a clickable with us today.
(48:11):
Jesus is on this sight of some more miracles than
the whole nation of Israat. Yet even they were full
of unbeliefed and hardness of their hearts. But see God
has a way of dealing with rebellion and hardness of
(48:31):
their hearts. When we look at verses thirty four through
thirty six, this is not reees. And the Lord heard.
That's why we better be careful what we say out
of our mouth. Moses say, and the Lord heard the
voice of your words. When they were saying that, the
Lord hated them and brought them out there to the
(48:51):
willingness and let them die at.
Speaker 3 (48:53):
The hand of their enemies. The emirits Mos say, and the.
Speaker 1 (48:56):
Lord heard the voice of your words.
Speaker 3 (48:59):
And wrought brought me.
Speaker 1 (49:01):
All was angry, and he swell, saying that thing hurt God.
And the Lord said these words, Surely there shall not
one of these men of this evil generation. She that
good land which I swear to give unto your father
(49:25):
come out the landing cannon. Yeah, y'all got to know
that it was a good lad that was a rich land.
And y'all saw it fruit, the rich, beautiful sweet fruit
that was brought back from over there. You know it
was a language because some fried plenty good food over there.
Speaker 3 (49:43):
But y'all old generation will never see.
Speaker 1 (49:48):
It because your heart is if necking your rebellious thirty
six he said, save killer the of Jeffunih. He shall
see it, and to him will ideal the land that
(50:08):
he had trodden upon, and to his children because he
have wholly followed the Lord. He said, now gonna be
the one of the ones.
Speaker 3 (50:20):
I'm gonna bless him.
Speaker 1 (50:22):
And there was one other. We're gonna find out who
it is in a few minutes. Out of that old
punch that came out of Egypt, it was one two
that went into the land of Cana with the one
to generate that was born out there in the wilderness.
He said, he going in. I'm gonna bless him because
(50:44):
he stood completely. He's following me in his faith, even
though he was going through willerness experience. He stood faithful.
Unto me, we are no different than the Israelites who
had their own agenda which brought about their blatant continued
disobedience against God and his servant leader. When there is
(51:08):
no love, peace, respect of forgiveness among the people of God,
it is because we have lost faith in our willerness
expence while we were in our willness experience. When we
start praying for each other. We are in aur willderness experience.
(51:29):
When we are faithless and die in our willness experience,
we will never possess the abundant blessings of our promised land.
Don't be afraid of your giants. Jesus knows who and
(51:51):
he knows what they are. He will fight for you
and give you they when you wholly completely follow the
Lord Verses thirty seven and thirty eight. And then we
(52:13):
closing on those two fastores, says, listen what happened to Moses? Also?
The Lord was angry with me for your sake because
of y'all. God was angry with me, saying thou also
(52:35):
shall not go in sit to her. But I wonder
why the Lord was angry with Moses and Moses. Now
will served notice you not going and the old generation,
old evil one, they are not going in either. Well,
(52:56):
we have an answer. The reason God I was angry
with Moses was the second time when Moses encountered the
rock when they needed the water in the wilderness.
Speaker 3 (53:12):
God told Moses.
Speaker 1 (53:15):
He told him to speak to the rock. But the
people got on moses nerves so bad, and they was
carrying on with their leader so much. He got stressed out,
upset with them. He smoked the rock, meaning he struck
the rock. He hit the rock, no matter how you
(53:37):
want to put it.
Speaker 3 (53:39):
He smoked the rock two times.
Speaker 1 (53:44):
Instead of just speaking to the rock, the Lord told
him to speak to the rock Moses, and the water
gonna come forth. Moses hit the rock not one time,
but twice. He did not God come in. Don't you
let people get up under your call and get you
so hot that you go against and you know God
(54:06):
never told you what to do. God will give you instructions.
Don't you get ussept with people and you let them
get you toll from the floor, and you go and
do something because you upset with them that you know
that God will tell you to do. And now Moses
are losing out because of other people. God said, no,
you ain't going in either. Thirty thirty eight. Now they
(54:32):
getting a new leader, a transition getting ready to take place.
The mantle is getting ready to fall on somebody else
to pick up a mandate. But Joshua, the son of None,
which stand up before thee, he shall go in fitter,
meaning he go on each stead of humans. So we
(54:55):
encourage him, for he shall cause Israel to in here.
You will not take the people into the promised lane. Moses,
you brought the people all this point, and you are
not going to the promised land. Joshua, you're Alma Bellah.
He is going to lead the people into the promised Land.
(55:19):
I encourage him. Wow. Doing their wilderness experience, Joshua and Caleb,
they stood in faith, trusting the word of God and
stood fast.
Speaker 3 (55:31):
On the promises of God.
Speaker 1 (55:33):
When we remain stay fast, our enemies, we will be
defeated and we will come through victorious and.
Speaker 3 (55:42):
The blessed of the Lord our God.
Speaker 1 (55:46):

As always, there is.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
A word from the Lord.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Tonight, after the mission of the Holy Spirit, we are
going to be reading into your hearing the word coming
from Deuteronomy chapter one, Deuteronomy chapter one, and we are
going to be bottle of ring versus twenty one through
thirty eight Domed chapter one, and we are going to
(06:57):
read into your hearing beginning at verse twenty one down
to verse thirty eight. And the words of the Lord
reads this way. It said, behold, the Lord, thy God,
have set the land before thee go up and possess it.
(07:19):
As the Lord God of thy fathers have said unto thee,
saar not neither be discouraged. And ye came near unto
me every one of you, and said, we will send
men before us, and they shall set us out the
(07:39):
land and bring us words again. By what way, we
must go up and eato what sites we shall come,
and the saying, please me well. And I took twelve
men of you, one of a tribe, and they turned
(08:02):
and went up into the mountain, and came into the
valley of Eshcold and searched it out. And they took
of the fruit of the land in their hands and
brought it down unto us, and brought us word again,
(08:24):
and said, it is a good land reached. The Lord
our God doth give us. The Lord our God give
us not this standing. He would not go up but
revel against the commandment of the Lord your God. And
you murmured in your tents, and said, because the Lord
(08:49):
hated us, he had brought us for out of the
land of Egypt, to deliver us into the hand of
the Emerits, to destroy us. Where the shall we go up?
Our brethren have discouraged our heart, sing them. The people
(09:13):
is greater and taller than we. The cities are great
and walled up to heaven. And moreover we have seen
the suns of the Anakams there. Then I said, unto you,
dread not neither be afraid of them. The Lord your God,
(09:38):
which goeth before you, he shall fight for you according
to all that did for you in Egypt before your eyes,
and in the wilderness where thou hast seen, how that
the Lord thy God bear Thee as a man doth
(10:01):
bear his son, in all the way that she went
until ye came into this place. Yet in this send
ye did not believe the Lord, your God, who went
in the way before you to search you out a
(10:22):
place to pitch your tents, in in fire by night,
to show you by what way you should go, and
in a cloud by date, and now come. In the
verse thirty four, the Lord heard the voice of your words,
and was wroth and swear, saying, surely there should not
(10:48):
one of these men of this evil generation see that
good land which I swear to give unto your father's,
say Caleb, the son of Jeffana, He shall see it,
and to him will I give the land that he
(11:09):
has trodden upon, and to his children, because he has
holy followed the Lord. Also, the Lord was angry with
me for your sake, saying, thou also shalt not go
in fitter and verse thirty eight. But Josh, show up,
(11:34):
the son of None, which standeth before thee. He shall
go in fitter encourage him, for ye shall call Israel
to in carriage it the reading of the Lord unto
(11:57):
his people. Our topic for discussion on tonight is faith
during your wilderness experience. Faith during your wilderness experience. We
(12:19):
would actually open up this Bible study discussion tonight with
a short introduction to give it just a little bit
of information about Doueronomy, and it lead us into the
preface our discussion on tonight. Deeronomy was written by Moses
(12:41):
around sixteen forty five BC in the Planes of Moab,
which was a pagan country by Jordanaire Jericho, written just
before the Israelite entered into none. The book contains a
(13:03):
summary of the wilderness wanderings, warning against sin, prophecies concerning
the future of Israel and the Palestinian Covenants. Now, we
should understand that we all go through individual wilderness experiences.
(13:29):
The problem is not the experience itself, however, it is
how we as a people act in our faith, or
how we react to the circumstances, whether we remain faithful
(13:51):
or whether we respond as faithless immature Christians. As this
was addressing the children of Israel in distext that we
are going to talk about tonight he was speaking as
an oracle of God, reminding them how God had brought
(14:14):
them up and out of Egypt, Egypt was a place
of bondage and made them promises to take them into Cana,
the promise of land. When we know that it was
the Lord who brought us through a difficult trial and
(14:38):
tribulation what was seemingly our wilderness experience, we then realized
that it was our faith, not our fear, but our
faith that helped us endure during our wilderness experience. It
(15:00):
is when we lose our faith during the struggle is
what all of us to walk as defeated and not sure,
as spiritually illiterate people that do not trust nor believe
(15:22):
in God and his promises.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
Now, as we attempt to.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
Look a little closer at what the scriptures are same
to us tonight, where we look at we're going to
kind of group them together tonight, because as you see,
there's several passages tonight if we want to try and
cover them all when we look at verses twenty one
(15:53):
through twenty six, we're not going to reread them all tonight,
but we're going to do his man and the time.
When we look at those certain passages of scripture. Moses
was trying to encourage the people to remain strong and
(16:13):
stay focused on the promises of Almighty God and not
grow weary again. He said to them in verse twenty one, behold,
the Lord thy God have set the land before thee.
(16:40):
Now go and posess it. As the Lord God of
thy father said to thee. Don't be afraid, fear not,
and don't get discouraged. And as we go through these passes,
I want us to personalize the same method that Moses
(17:05):
was speaking to the Sun of Israel, because the Lord
have made promises to us certain things. He had told
us whatever we'reever out of foot land, that we can't
possess it, whatever our hands touch, we can own it.
(17:28):
But how many of us tonight believe it. But because
of the trials and tribulations and the circumstances and the
struggles that were going through to us, I'm sure we
may feel no different than the children of Israel when
(17:48):
they came up out of Egypt and they was trying
to get to the promised land. Even when they crossed
the Red Sea and was in the wilderness, they was
going through that wilderness experience. They felt that really, God,
we went through all that in Egypt. We did all
(18:08):
our bests to get away from, you know, from the
from that harsh leader that we were under when we
was down there in Egypt. And now you got us
all the way here from under Pharaoh, got us across
the red seat, and now we still here in the wilderness.
(18:30):
Is anything really gonna ever change from us? Do you
hear all of the moaning and growing and complaining and
the gripping. Do you hear any gratituding any of that?
I pray that none of us are thinking along those lines.
Some of us may be in of what feels that
a wilderness expirit. But God say, even while you in
(18:52):
the wilderness, you can still possess what I promise you,
because I'm a guard that lie. And if I promise
it to you, it's not that you can't possess it,
but you are delaying it because of where your faith is.
(19:13):
Is your moaning and is your groaning, and your attitude
about your willingness experience is what's delaying it to be
longer manifest thin. You know, since they did not talking
about the children of Israel, since they did not trust
the word of their leader, Moses. They made a request
(19:39):
that they made a request of Moses in verse twenty two,
and he reminded them, sining, you can nail unto me,
every one of you, and you said to me you requested,
will sin see the people made a suggestion. First, they
(19:59):
made a suggestion, we will sing men before us, and
they shall search us out the land and bring us
word again. By what way we must go up and
into what said we shall come. Moses was ready to
(20:22):
take the people into the land, and for us, that's it,
because the God promises. Moses was ready to act on
what the Lord said. Who cared if they was going
through hey wilderness experience? Moses the leader his experiences regard
is that he knew God would do what he say.
(20:44):
But here's these Israel. They are heart headed, stip make
and rebel yourself. The only thing they did after they
got out from on the Pharaoah, all the way down
to the Wisdomness. They were there willing to get into.
Speaker 3 (20:59):
The promised land.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
Everything Moses had to say to them, all they they
was complaining and kick against the bridge. They didn't pay
any attention to what Moses had to say. So now
they didn't want to trust the word that mosas say, God,
old Joe, if we're going into the Promised Land and
to possess what God promised us. Oh no, no, before
(21:24):
we go in, we need to send some spies in.
We're gonna send some boys over the at first, and
they're gonna check it out before we go over there,
because they couldn't trust the words of their leader. Moses
responded favorably. But what Moses did first of all, he
(21:45):
went and he talked to the lawd about it. Initially
he would have gone on it, but he had senf enough.
He consulted the Lord about it to see what God
had to say. We better stop get the head of
the Lord and is fent me God to bless us.
Don't care how long it takes, no matter how long
(22:08):
go wait. We need to consult the Lord and we
will always be proper us and successful. So Moss responded
favorably after consulting God, brother or not to send the
spies to investigate the land again. Initially, he was stressed
(22:28):
out by the people approached him and would have gone
on in without first investigatment, but his faith in God
caused him to inquire of the Lord first. Before sending
me in the spies at the people's request. When we
look at verses twenty three to twenty six, again Moses
(22:51):
told them and the saying please me or favorably, he
ain't favoritely responded to them, and the saying please me.
So I took twelve men from y'all, twelve of y'all
out of the crowd, out of y'all, one of each tribe,
and I compiled for a group of y'all of twelve.
(23:14):
And they turned and they went. They went on up
into the mountains, and they went into the value of
its call to search it out, and they took up through.
When they got to that land, they found it was
a very very good rich land. They came back and
they brought back throats down the US, and they brought
(23:35):
the word back down that it was a good land,
just fact that God had promised them that it was
a rich land.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
It was a good land.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
It was a place that where they could be blessed
if they would get there.
Speaker 3 (23:47):
They could be blessed in the land.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
But isn't it something that when God sends up and
tells us that you can be blessed if you do this,
or if you do that. But all we do is
grumble and carry on in more and grown, and we
cut ourselves off from the blessing. And we know we
on our way to a blessing. And as the old
people will say, we cut off our nose spite our faith.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
Man, if you'll be messed around, you ain't.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
Even gonna have no nose on your face, because all
you do is long. When they grown, they carry on
all the time, and you will never get the blessing,
or never get to the blessing that God promised you.
And you know it's a blessing over there waiting on you,
but because of your own mouth, you will never get
to that blessing. So they found out. They brought back fruits,
(24:34):
and they brought back a word. It's a good land
over there, Yes it is. It's a good land. So
they came back with a good word on one hand,
but we're gonna find out in a little while they
had a negative word on another hand. In these verses,
the spies went and they investigated again. As we say,
(24:55):
they brought back a good word, and they know that
they could subside when they got up there. Despite the
discovery that the lad was everything, it was everything that
God had described until them, those the most of the tails.
No lit they had to see it for their own set.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
They brought back that good word.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
And if they had really had listened at Moses in
the beginning, that Moses told them what the Lord said,
they would have been blessed.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
They'reby much sooner.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
They would have been blessed much sooner. And this, let
me tell you some blessings. That they would have been
able to reap the benefits of the blessings. They would
have been settling in Canaan forty years earlier.
Speaker 3 (25:42):
Remember now, they.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
Wanted in the wilderness for forty years on a journey
that only should have taken forty days. And we're gonna
find out this that suggested that he stand inside. These
were the older generation. They never got there. These were
the older generations that these all this complaining, mourning and groaning,
(26:07):
they never got to reap the benefice. Know they didn't
because God, purse of God got God got upset. Moses
couldn't do nothing with them. But God got upset with
all that carrying on. They did. That foolishness that they
carried on. They they didn't believe nothing that Moses came
back and told them what thus saith the Lord and
(26:28):
God got upset about that. But they could have settled
much earlier in the land of Canaan, forty years earlier.
But they died out there in the wilderness. The old generations,
they would not have been cursed and condemned to die
in the wilderness. Okay, the younger generation, the children that born,
(26:52):
the generation of children that born in the wilderness. They're
the one that got in the promised laying, not the
general that came out of Egypt, but the one that
born in the wilderness. They're the ones that needed each
of the promised land. The other blessing that they would
have gotten was freedom from the forty years of hardships,
(27:13):
legs and other curses. They brought it on themselves with
all that moaning, ain't growning and all that complaining. Again,
it prolonged the front sss. But God let them say
out that forty years to see it their heart would change.
But no, they never changed. They remained the same. So
they cut themselves on. They can't blame that on God.
They brought it on themselves. They're on bravery. Bravery would
(27:39):
have been confirmed and God would have honored their bravery. No,
but God had enough of them, and guess what, He
let the Amirits have his their way with them, and
then they would not have suffered disgreat and defeat by
their enemies. M my mind. So see, we didn't know
(28:02):
a hush. We need to know how to be quiet
before God. We need to know how even going through
our willness experience, we need to see You know what, God,
This don't feel good to me at all, but I
still trust you that you have a reason. There's a
purpose for why I'm going through this wilderness experience. And
it's not necessarily because I did anything wrong God. But Lord,
(28:26):
maybe you is allowing this. We need to go through
this for a testimony. I haven't done anything wrong, y'all.
Remember we remember the story about Joel. Joe didn't do anything,
but Joe lost everything he had. And Joe was a
rich man and he lost it all. But Joe never
lost his faith in the Lord. There was supposed to
(28:49):
be his three bestness of buddies sit by his bed,
blaming Joe for everything.
Speaker 3 (28:54):
They could think of. Joe never responded to them.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
See, everything don't need to be entertained, no matter what
people say, We don't have to entertain what people say.
We don't owe them no explanation. Keep your faith in God.
I don't care what will Nu's experience you are going
through to night.
Speaker 3 (29:12):
You don't have to entertain what people are saying.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
Oh you, I know you had to do something wrong,
because if God love you, God wouldn't let you go
through that.
Speaker 3 (29:20):
God is not doing it to you. He's allowing it.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
But we need to grow through it. Not just go
through it, but grow through it. Let it be an
experience of time to grow in the Lord and stop
focusing so much on what I'm going through. But God,
if I got to go through it, I'm going to
grow through it and get crosser to You and get
(29:46):
strong Earth while go I'm going through it. Wow, that's
my fool right there, at this present time, at this point,
you see, God already brought the children of Israel across
the red seat on dry land, and just that quick
they have forgotten who in the world to stand and
(30:09):
look at a bigger, whole fun river of water, And
then overnight you got a whole dry driveway for you
to walk down on dry land and water kick.
Speaker 3 (30:21):
Back on both sides for you to walk.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
Across on a dry land and water standing up on
both sides of you. They just just that quick. They
forgot how God brought them over on dry land and
water standing up on both sides, and he drown Pharaohs
on it in the sea. And they was able to
see that with their own eyes. But yeah, they complained,
(30:47):
showed no gratitude at all to God for what God
had just done for them in the widerness. Who God
down across the red seat and forgot if he did it,
then he'll do it again. We're gonna have wilderness experiences
in our life. But how soon do we forget every
(31:10):
time that God bring us up on the wrong on
the ladder, We look back down the letter and see
how many wrongs have he brought us up? And we
go higher, and we go higher on the ladder and
look back down and say, Okay, he brought me up
from that wrong.
Speaker 3 (31:25):
He brought me up from that wrong.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
I couldn't have gotten up here if God had not
brought me in this form.
Speaker 3 (31:30):
Every round goes.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
Higher and higher, and the how you we go, there's
another wilderness experience that God has brought us through. Think
about that.
Speaker 3 (31:40):
So he brought them on through the red sleet, on
dry labor over into the wilderness.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
Yet they were still moaning and growning and complained about
everything their humble leader, Moses had.
Speaker 3 (31:55):
To say during their willerness experience.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
The scripture lets us know that they, instead of walking
in faith, being responded harshly to every word of the
Lord that Moses gave unto them. Moses tried to keep
them encouraged, reminding them of God's command and promise for
(32:18):
them to take possession of Canaan and not get discouraged
or become afraid of their enemies, the emirs. But because
of their lack of faith, they did not trust the
word of Moses, nor did they trust God, instead being
(32:43):
rebelled against God's commandment to possess the land. Now, if
God tell you to possess the land, why that's a
good thing. Why would return and rebel against God? As
though God told us to do something criminally? He say, go,
(33:04):
he possessed the land, Jerry. And if that's something that
Jared had on his heart, and if he had the
praying to God, God, God.
Speaker 3 (33:12):
I want that house over there. God, God is.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
In my heart. That's the one that I want.
Speaker 3 (33:16):
I don't want that across town.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
I want that right over there, across the street over there,
that's the one that I want. And the Lord says, well,
go ahead on the possessor, go ahead on the talk
to the people and they'll.
Speaker 3 (33:27):
Sign the papers with you. And you have to go
through all these hood all this bire officers say to
try to get into the house.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
That's the one. And when God say to go ahead and.
Speaker 3 (33:37):
Her possessor, then why will you rebel against God? And say, well,
I don't.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
Know God, that we come up with all these excuses,
and that's rebellion. When we know that God he get
us our answer, they we start coming up all these excuses,
why we cannot do what we know? When we say,
but the Lord told me to go ahead on the
side and talk to the people. And God told me
that he is gonna sign the papers with me that
I went or go through all this.
Speaker 3 (34:01):
I'm about to jump through all these zooms that the
Lord's gonna that the people are gonna do it. Then
why will we come up with all these excuses that is.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
Nothing but complaining and mourning and go and that is
rebellion against God. He say go put that said go
across the streets and shout on the poet, go against
or go across that street and do a jericho walk
around that. I mock your territory around the house that
God told you, stupid, that's it, then you'll go after it.
(34:31):
And that is already yours of God. They don't rebel
against the Lord. So what happy here? In very true
the self? And you murmured, what mos the thought? And
you murmured when I told you God, they go possess
the land? You murmured in your tents, and you say
it because.
Speaker 3 (34:48):
The lawd hated us?
Speaker 1 (34:51):
What kind of foods is that? Because the Law hated us,
you know, brought us all the way up out of Egypt,
now out of that hand of Pharaoh that ruled over
down with an iron rods beat them every day while
they're trying to work. They're trying to make breaks with
no straw.
Speaker 3 (35:07):
And here they talking about the Lord hate them.
Speaker 1 (35:10):
He hated us. He have brought us out of the
land of Egypt to deliver us into the hands of
the Amurits, to destroy us. If he wanted them to die,
he didn't have to bring them up out of Egypt
for them to be killed He could have left them
down there on the hand of Pharaoh, and Pharaoh could
have killed them right there. If God wanted to kill them,
(35:31):
he could have let them drown in the red seat.
He said, are drowning Pharaoh's army. He could have let
them get in the middle of the red seat and
then drown them off. He would have to bring them
a process and let them come over there into the wilderness.
But here they are moaning and groaning, no faith in
their wilderness experience. How many of us speak so faithlessly
(35:56):
during our wilderness experience, beat against God because we find
ourself going through situations we don't seem to understand. The
inter lit spide felt that God didn't love them if
he would send them out into such a seemingly perilous situation.
(36:21):
What they saw was a scary sight that caused their
hearts to palpitate beyond normal Verse twenty eight fruits. They
became fifthful and could not maintain their faith. The verse reads,
this week, whether shall we go up? Our brethren have
(36:46):
discouraged our hearts, saying the people is greater and taller
than we, The cities are great and walled up to heaven,
and moreover, we have seen the sun of the Anakin there.
Now Anakin are real tall, big old gipe size people.
(37:09):
Now their hearts are struck with fear. It's a good
lad it bears a good fruit, it's rich in soil.
And we could survive there, but them big old, tall,
grown verjiite side people over death, and we little old
people were that grasshoppers in they sight. We ain't not
(37:30):
gonna be able to survive with them. What if God
say gonna possess the land? You think God is afraid
of the gian over there? He says gonna be afraid
of them. You see yourself as a grasshopper that you
see yourself as the grass oper. You see yourself as
small in the side of those giants. God is bigger
(37:54):
than your giant. Stop seeing yourself as a grasshopper. Seyt.
They think twelve spies were sinn. Ten other spies return
and out of fear. That's why everybody can't go with you,
because everybody don't have the faith that you have to
(38:14):
be careful who do let me dragged around behind you.
Speaker 3 (38:17):
Because some people got too much fear.
Speaker 1 (38:21):
If you going on a faith journey, you need people
who got a lot of faith You don't need.
Speaker 3 (38:25):
Scary people to be followed behind you, not when.
Speaker 1 (38:29):
You going on a powerpack fear of faith journey, Come
on now, because they're gonna bring back the wrong report
and make people be a friend. So ten of the
spies return, and out of fear, they reported that they
saw Johnny people greater and taller than they were. How
can a little this is what they say?
Speaker 3 (38:51):
How can not trying to put it on God? How
can a loving father even.
Speaker 1 (38:57):
Suggest that we go up again the giants?
Speaker 3 (39:01):
Well? Are we any difference.
Speaker 1 (39:05):
If we had if we would be honest during our
wiserness experiences? In many cases when trouble comes, we tend
to exaggerate the size of the problem because of our
fear that things are not going to work out. Wow,
(39:29):
we lose faith and we think in the middle of
the storm because we don't trust and believe that God
is with us and we will bring and that He
will bring us through. He will only bring us through,
(39:52):
he will bring us out. Don't you know? If he
bring us to it, he will bring us through it.
And if he bring us to it and through it,
that means he gonna bring us out of it. That's
the same thing he did for the Israelite He brought
them to the red seat. He brought He didn't leave
(40:12):
them at it, but he brought them to it. They
didn't know how they was gonna get on to the
other side, but he brought them through it. And when
he brought them through it, then he bring them all
the way out of it. So he do the same
thing for his children today. If he brings you to it,
he allowed you to have a willernessus spears he will
(40:33):
bring you to it, He will take you through it,
and he will bring you out of it. If you
don't remember nothing else that doctor d said on this
line tonight, you better remember that if he brought me
to it, he gonna take me through it, and he
gonna bring you out of it. So you better remember
that tonight. So we need to thank God for those
(40:55):
people who are in our lives back when we are
so fake, fretful, and we are so fearful, and we
get burned on during our willderness experiences that we can't
see the light at the end of the dunnel. There
(41:15):
is someone that.
Speaker 3 (41:17):
God uses as a guiding.
Speaker 1 (41:20):
Light to help us see our way through e Verses
twenty nine through thirty one, Moses said to them, Then
I said, unto you, dreadnought.
Speaker 3 (41:36):
Moses, still trying to encourage them.
Speaker 1 (41:38):
Dread not neither be afraid of them.
Speaker 3 (41:43):
The Lord Joe, God which goes before.
Speaker 1 (41:46):
You, he sell sight for you according to all, not some,
but all that He did for you in e Egypt.
Speaker 3 (42:00):
Before your eyes.
Speaker 1 (42:04):
All those plagues that God sent on the land of Egypt,
all those Egyptians they suffer, you didn't suffer nothing that
those plays. When God sent those plagus down there on
those Egyptians, you didn't suffer any of that. The Lord
took cave you, and he protected you. Your own eyes
(42:28):
saw that, and you still complained, mourning and groaning and
carrying on. He said. And then the wilds that verse
thirty one, where thou hast seen how that the Lord,
our God bear thee as a man dog bared his
(42:49):
son in all the way that you with until you
came into this police. Even when you was in the
wilderness doing all that crying and craving on and this
morning and groaning and this and that nothing that I said,
God was still taking care of you. He fed you,
(43:11):
sending quail meet down from Helen, send a manner down
from Hell. Whereever you need it. He sent it down
to keep you fed. Your clothes didn't even wear out.
Speaker 3 (43:22):
You had on the same clothes.
Speaker 1 (43:23):
Your shoes, even the bottom of your shoes didn't never
rock out. And you still come plain. You see these
things with your own eyes. Yet your faith failed God.
You stood in fear and refused to walk in feat Guinea.
(43:49):
These versions that I just read more just appealed to
the Israelite to not focus on the appearance of the
what seemed to be giants, but to keep their attention
on the many mighty acts of God that he had
(44:09):
already performed for them while in Egypt, and since they
left Egypt until this very time of being in the wilderness.
Moses continued in verse twenty in verse thirty two, saying,
(44:30):
Yet that's when when I saw this very it made
my heart hurt me made my heart go out to Moses.
He said, Yet in this thing he did not believe
the Lord your God, all this that God did. Yet
(44:52):
is there a yet with us tonight all that God
had already done? Yet do we still not be believe
that what we are facing now? Yet in the wilderness
experience that we are enduring now, Do we still not
believe that if God did all that for me in
(45:13):
my past? Do I not believe that God is able
to bring me through this wilderness experience that I'm going
through now?
Speaker 3 (45:22):
Modes say, Yet in this thing he did not believe
the Lord O God, people of God.
Speaker 1 (45:33):
When we begin to doubt God and become faithless in
our wilderness experience, it is we God had gotten there
to do it. It is we that moves God to
anger and cause.
Speaker 3 (45:50):
Him to withdraw his hand of mercy.
Speaker 1 (45:54):
We don't want God to chickens hain't off of us.
But if God get angry, the word let us know.
We don't want to fall into the hands of an
angry God. And then we and He will exact righteous
judgment upon a meaning in anything that God decides to
do to us. He is righteous Indians Indians doing We deserve.
Speaker 3 (46:17):
Whatever we get from God.
Speaker 1 (46:20):
Very thirty three. He says, who went in the way,
Look what the Lord did? He went in the way
before you to search you out a place to pitch
your tents, in in fire by night, to show you
by what way you should go, and in a cloud
(46:41):
by thee when he was trying to get you away
from a pharaoh's army when they was coming after you,
he protected you. Yes, he did fire by night and
a cloud by day, so you could see where you
was going in the daytime as well as in the
night time. And he put it between you all and
(47:04):
between federal's armies soil they couldn't even get to you
while you are traveling trying to get.
Speaker 3 (47:12):
To the promised land.
Speaker 1 (47:14):
Who wouldn't serve a god like that?
Speaker 3 (47:17):
Why have fear gone through a wilderness.
Speaker 1 (47:20):
Experience knowing that you got far protection from Yojohoah Dollar,
that's your God had the new that provides and Yojohovah
niece that covers you and protects you, and that raises
a battle over you to hide you from your enemy.
Motives reminded them that they knew God existed because he
(47:46):
went before them to protect them. Yet all they did
was showed their faithlessness by murdering against God. All the
miracles that Israel had seen did not cure them of
their unbelief. This also is a clickable with us today.
(48:11):
Jesus is on this sight of some more miracles than
the whole nation of Israat. Yet even they were full
of unbeliefed and hardness of their hearts. But see God
has a way of dealing with rebellion and hardness of
(48:31):
their hearts. When we look at verses thirty four through
thirty six, this is not reees. And the Lord heard.
That's why we better be careful what we say out
of our mouth. Moses say, and the Lord heard the
voice of your words. When they were saying that, the
Lord hated them and brought them out there to the
(48:51):
willingness and let them die at.
Speaker 3 (48:53):
The hand of their enemies. The emirits Mos say, and the.
Speaker 1 (48:56):
Lord heard the voice of your words.
Speaker 3 (48:59):
And wrought brought me.
Speaker 1 (49:01):
All was angry, and he swell, saying that thing hurt God.
And the Lord said these words, Surely there shall not
one of these men of this evil generation. She that
good land which I swear to give unto your father
(49:25):
come out the landing cannon. Yeah, y'all got to know
that it was a good lad that was a rich land.
And y'all saw it fruit, the rich, beautiful sweet fruit
that was brought back from over there. You know it
was a language because some fried plenty good food over there.
Speaker 3 (49:43):
But y'all old generation will never see.
Speaker 1 (49:48):
It because your heart is if necking your rebellious thirty
six he said, save killer the of Jeffunih. He shall
see it, and to him will ideal the land that
(50:08):
he had trodden upon, and to his children because he
have wholly followed the Lord. He said, now gonna be
the one of the ones.
Speaker 3 (50:20):
I'm gonna bless him.
Speaker 1 (50:22):
And there was one other. We're gonna find out who
it is in a few minutes. Out of that old
punch that came out of Egypt, it was one two
that went into the land of Cana with the one
to generate that was born out there in the wilderness.
He said, he going in. I'm gonna bless him because
(50:44):
he stood completely. He's following me in his faith, even
though he was going through willerness experience. He stood faithful.
Unto me, we are no different than the Israelites who
had their own agenda which brought about their blatant continued
disobedience against God and his servant leader. When there is
(51:08):
no love, peace, respect of forgiveness among the people of God,
it is because we have lost faith in our willerness
expence while we were in our willness experience. When we
start praying for each other. We are in aur willderness experience.
(51:29):
When we are faithless and die in our willness experience,
we will never possess the abundant blessings of our promised land.
Don't be afraid of your giants. Jesus knows who and
(51:51):
he knows what they are. He will fight for you
and give you they when you wholly completely follow the
Lord Verses thirty seven and thirty eight. And then we
(52:13):
closing on those two fastores, says, listen what happened to Moses? Also?
The Lord was angry with me for your sake because
of y'all. God was angry with me, saying thou also
(52:35):
shall not go in sit to her. But I wonder
why the Lord was angry with Moses and Moses. Now
will served notice you not going and the old generation,
old evil one, they are not going in either. Well,
(52:56):
we have an answer. The reason God I was angry
with Moses was the second time when Moses encountered the
rock when they needed the water in the wilderness.
Speaker 3 (53:12):
God told Moses.
Speaker 1 (53:15):
He told him to speak to the rock. But the
people got on moses nerves so bad, and they was
carrying on with their leader so much. He got stressed out,
upset with them. He smoked the rock, meaning he struck
the rock. He hit the rock, no matter how you
(53:37):
want to put it.
Speaker 3 (53:39):
He smoked the rock two times.
Speaker 1 (53:44):
Instead of just speaking to the rock, the Lord told
him to speak to the rock Moses, and the water
gonna come forth. Moses hit the rock not one time,
but twice. He did not God come in. Don't you
let people get up under your call and get you
so hot that you go against and you know God
(54:06):
never told you what to do. God will give you instructions.
Don't you get ussept with people and you let them
get you toll from the floor, and you go and
do something because you upset with them that you know
that God will tell you to do. And now Moses
are losing out because of other people. God said, no,
you ain't going in either. Thirty thirty eight. Now they
(54:32):
getting a new leader, a transition getting ready to take place.
The mantle is getting ready to fall on somebody else
to pick up a mandate. But Joshua, the son of None,
which stand up before thee, he shall go in fitter,
meaning he go on each stead of humans. So we
(54:55):
encourage him, for he shall cause Israel to in here.
You will not take the people into the promised lane. Moses,
you brought the people all this point, and you are
not going to the promised land. Joshua, you're Alma Bellah.
He is going to lead the people into the promised Land.
(55:19):
I encourage him. Wow. Doing their wilderness experience, Joshua and Caleb,
they stood in faith, trusting the word of God and
stood fast.
Speaker 3 (55:31):
On the promises of God.
Speaker 1 (55:33):
When we remain stay fast, our enemies, we will be
defeated and we will come through victorious and.
Speaker 3 (55:42):
The blessed of the Lord our God.

stand still and let Him fight for you and victory.
