Hallelujah, what a Savior! Good evening. If you would, open
your Bibles to Isaiah chapter 25. Isaiah 25. O Lord, thou art my God, I will
exalt thee, I will praise thy name. For thou hast done wonderful
things, thy counsels of old are faithfulness and truth. For thou
hast made of a city a heap, of a defense city a ruin, a palace
of strangers to be no city, it shall never be built. Therefore
shall the strong people glorify thee, the city of the terrible
nations shall fear thee. For thou hast been a strength
to the poor, a strength to the needy in his distress, a refuge
from the storm, a shadow from the heat when the blast of the
terrible ones is as a storm against the wall. Thou shalt bring down
the noise of strangers as the heat in a dry place, even the
heat with the shadow of a cloud. The branch of the terrible ones
shall be brought low. And in this mountain shall the
Lord of hosts make unto all people a feast of fat things, a feast
of wines on the leaves, of fat things full of marrow, of wines
on the leaves well refined. And he will destroy in the mountain
the face of the covering cast over all people, and the veil
that is spread over all nations. He will swallow up death in victory,
and the Lord God will wipe away tears from off all faces. In the rebuke of his people shall
he take away from off all the earth. For the Lord has spoken
it. And it shall be said in that
day, lo, this is our God. We have waited for him. He will
save us. This is the Lord. We have waited
for him. We will be glad and rejoice. In his salvation. For in this mountain shall the
hand of the Lord rest, and Moab shall be trodden down under him,
even as straw is trodden down from the dunghill. And he shall
spread forth his hands in the midst of them, as he that swimmeth
spreadeth forth his hands to swim. And he shall bring down
their pride together. with the spoils of their hands.
In the fortress of the high fort of thy walls shall he bring down,
lay low, and bring to the ground even the dust. Our most high and gracious Father
in heaven, we thank thee for thy precious word and for whom
it speaks. As we celebrated last week, sending
my son, for the forgiveness of our sins through his sacrifice
on the cross. May you bless this evening again
with thy spirit. Be with brother Don as he brings
the word. Bless the sick and the weary of the congregation.
We ask these things in Christ's name, amen. Page 16 in our course books.

come and dine. You may feast at Jesus' table
all the time. He who fed the multitude turned
the water into wine. To the hungry calleth now, come
and dine. I hope your Bible's with me this
evening to Exodus 19. Exodus 19. The title of my message
this evening is The Work of God. The Work of God. Read these first six verses. Exodus 19, In the third month,
when the children of Israel were gone forth out of the land of
Egypt, the same day came they into the wilderness of Sinai. For they were departed from Rephidim,
and were come to the desert of Sinai, and had pitched in the
wilderness, and there Israel camped before the mount. And
Moses went up unto God, and the Lord called unto him, Out of
the mountain, Say, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob,
and tell the children of Israel, Ye have seen what I did to the
Egyptians, and how I bear you on eagles' wings, and brought
you unto myself. Now therefore, if you will obey
my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then you shall be a
peculiar treasure unto me above all people, for all the earth
is mine. And you shall be unto me a kingdom
of priests, and in holy nation. These are the words which thou
shalt speak unto the children of Israel." You remember where they was caught
at the Red Sea, and God saved them. Now, they'd done been in,
out of Egypt for three months, been out of Egypt three months.
They'd been traveling around the wilderness, they come to
Mount Sinai. That's where the law was given, on Mount Sinai. And God told Moses that one day
He had worshiped them there. You keep this and look in, keep
chapter 19, look in Exodus 3, verse 12. Look what God told
Moses, that he would be worshiping there one of these days. Moses asked God there in verse
11, Moses said unto God, Who am I that I should go unto Pharaoh,
and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of
each? And he said, Certainly I will be with thee, and this
shall be a token unto thee, that I have sent thee. When thou hast
brought forth the people out of Egypt, you shall serve God
upon this mountain. So he had already told him that
he was going to worship God on this mountain. Now Mount Sinai
was the law was given. That's where God's glory, that's
where God's majesty, God's honor, God's righteousness is being
seen. And I tell you, as you go on
down through here, you see how that they even put a big rope
around it so the people wouldn't get too close. But here it shows
us that God is absolutely unapproachable without a mediator. God always
dealt through Israel with Moses, through Moses. And God only deals
with people through His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. God is
unapproachable without a mediator. God will not speak to or be spoken
to without a mediator. Somebody s got to be between
us and God, and that mediator is the Lord Jesus Christ. And
Moses was that mediator as being the type of the Lord Jesus Christ. And every time that, I mean,
even once God said, Moses, get out of my way, I m angry with
this bunch, I m going to destroy them. Moses stepped up and said,
Lord, don t, don t, don Don't do that. He does just like Christ
did when he went for the cross for us. Lord, Father, forgive
them. They know what they've done.
And Moses said, Lord, people will say that you couldn't bring
your people out. And oh my, so Moses, God's only
approachable with a mediator. Without a mediator, you can't
approach him. And while Moses is on the Mount with God, God
told him to go back down and tell Israel, remind them, remind
them, I want you to remind them of the great salvation that I
have already provided for them, what I've already done for them.
And I'll tell you how I delivered them and all the things that
I wrought for them. And that's what he says there
in verse 3, You shall say to the house of Jacob, remember
the house of Jacob got his name, God gave him a new name of Israel. But here He calls him Jacob,
Jacob, and He begins to tell him what great salvation, what
God s done for him. Look what He said in verse 4,
this is the first thing He says, You have seen what I did. You see what I did, not what
I m going to do, not what I hope to do, what I d like to do. He
said, You see what I did to the Egyptians, And so what our Lord's
telling them here is He said, You look back, I got you here,
but you look what I did, and that's what the gospel's all
about. It's not telling you what to do, it's telling you what
Christ already did. That's what the gospel is, an
accomplished salvation, something ALREADY accomplished, and that's
why God said, You've seen what I did to the Egyptians. You think
I can't carry you all the way through? If I destroyed your
enemies, and they was right behind you, and I destroyed them, and
I killed your enemies, and he said, you overthrew them in the
Red Sea, and he said, you shall see them no more. No more. Now let me tell you some enemies
we have. You know what our greatest enemy is? Sin. Our greatest enemy is sin. Second greatest enemy is death. Death is because of sin. Second
greatest enemy is death. Third greatest enemy is judgment, and why you re going to have
judgment is because of God s justice, and then after judgment you ve
got the wrath of God to deal with. Now, let me ask you, Can
we deal with any one of those things and destroy any one of
those things? Can we put away sin? Can we put
away death? He read it tonight. He said,
God said, death shall be swallowed up in victory. God said, I'm
gonna swallow death. I'll swallow it. It don't have
no power. And what about judgment? About facing judgment? Can we
face judgment for ourselves? Oh, can we face the wrath of
God for ourselves? No. You know that s why He said,
I m going to tell you what I did. I destroyed your enemies. Christ
put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself. Christ put away death
by His own death. Christ bore the judgment of God
for us. Christ bore the wrath of God
for us. So every enemy that was against
us And I tell you what, when He said you shall see Him no
more, we won't see them no more. We will never have to face sin
again. We'll never face, we'll face
physical death, but we will not face that death that Adam and
all other people has faced over their lifetime. We'll not have
to face the judgment because we was judged in Christ. We'll
not have to face the wrath of God because Christ bore the wrath
of God for us. And that's why God said, you
see what I did? Just look back and see what I
did. Ain't you glad it was, I heard
a fellow say, boy, this gospel we believe is what you call a
done deal. It's a done deal. Oh, all that
was against us. Everything that was against us.
So many things is against us. Our flesh was against us. The
world's against us. The devil's against us. The law
was against us. And the scripture says that Christ
took them out of the way. nailed Him to His cross. Everything
that was against us that I just mentioned, Christ took them out
of the way and nailed them, nailed them to His cross. And you know
when He nailed them to His cross, you know what He did with them?
He stripped them of all their authority, stripped them of all
their power, stripped them of all their authority so they don't
have no power, no authority, nothing over us ever again. He
took it out of the way. So you see what I did? I love
a gospel that tells you what's already done. That s what s so
wonderful about the Gospel. It does not ask anybody to do
anything except come to Christ. And I do know this, that if God
doesn t come to a man first, he won t come to Christ. But
I do know also that that s the thing about the Gospel. We re
telling somebody what s already accomplished. When our Lord said,
It is finished, it is finished, He meant it s Everything, all
the old timers said this. I don't know how many old timers
said this and I've read it so many times. It says what God
requires, God gives. He requires obedience, He gives
obedience. He requires death, He provides
death. He requires justice, He gives. He satisfied justice in His Son.
HE DESIRES HOLINESS, HE GIVES IT. WHATEVER GOD REQUIRES OF
A SOUL, GOD HIMSELF PROVIDED IT. WHAT HE REQUIRES, HE PROVIDES,
AND WHAT HE PROVIDES, THAT'S ALL HE WILL EVER ACCEPT. HE WILL
NOT ACCEPT ANYTHING ELSE, EXCEPT WHAT HE HIMSELF PROVIDES. AND
THEN LOOK WHAT ELSE, LOOK HOW HE DID SAVE THEM, LOOK HOW HE
SAVED THEM. HE SAID, YOU SEE WHAT I DID TO THE EGYPTIANS,
WHAT I DID TO YOUR ENEMIES? WE SEE WHAT CHRIST DID TO OUR
ENEMIES. in this and this and this, and
how I bear you on eagles' wings. I bear you on eagles' wings.
So many places, you know, he said, he said, we're hidden under
the shadow of the Almighty. We dwell under the feathers of
the Almighty. And here he says, I bear you
on eagles' wings. I bear you on eagles' wings.
You know, they say that an eagle has an eagle eye. You know, he
can be way, way, way, way up there, and he can see something,
and he can get it just like that. He can see things from so high
up, see things perfectly. Well, our Lord Jesus Christ,
he sees things perfectly. And he said he'd bury you on
eagle wings. You know, when you think about being on an eagle's
wings, and our Lord buried us on eagle wings, I mean, that
means he's way, way, way up there, and he's got us on his wings,
and he's carrying us on his wings. That's a high, that's a, he's
way up there. And oh, he not only, he gets
us and carries us on them eagle's wings. You say, boy, how did
he carry that many people? He's the Lord. He can carry a
multitude that no man can number. But he said, I bear you on eagles'
wings. Oh my. Let me show you something
in Isaiah 55. Oh, the way of the eagles beyond
the reach of man. I mean, Christ has to come and
get us and put us on those eagle wings. We can't go up there and
get on the eagle wings. But look what he said in Isaiah
55. Look in verse eight. Oh, it's
a very, very high way, way up there. And all we can't get up
there. So Christ has to take us up there. God has to take us up there,
pick us up on them eagles wing. He said in verse eight, for my
thoughts are not your thoughts. Neither are your ways, my ways,
saith the Lord. Now listen, this God's showing
us something here. For as the heavens are higher
than the earth, How high are the heavens above
the earth? They send in satellites out there
that go for miles and miles and miles and miles and miles and
miles and miles. And oh my, ever how far the heavens
are, he said, as the heavens are higher than what this earth
right here you're standing on is, my ways are higher than yours. And my thoughts are your thoughts.
And so I tell you what, it's so high that we can't get it.
But yet he comes down, he said, I'll bear you on eagles' wings,
eagles' wings. And not only does he bear us
in the highway way up high, carries us on eagles' wings, but I tell
you, it's a fast way, it's a swift way. When an eagle, an eagle
is fast, an eagle is swift, an eagle can get down and come down
so fast and our Lord Jesus Christ when he picks us up on the wings
of an evil it's swift. It don't take him long to come
down and get you. I mean you know and it don't
take him long to save you and get you where he wants you to
go. That's what I'm talking about here when he bears your own eagle's
wing it's quick, fast, And I tell you what, a quick way, that eagle's
swift, it's fast. And when our Lord works, there's
lots of immediates, straight way. When our Lord done something,
I mean, He didn't have to wait till it got accomplished, is
what I'm saying. You know, it's like the woman
with issue of blood, where she said, if I can just touch the
hem of His garment, I'll be made whole. And when she touched Him,
immediately, Her blood was stanched. She didn't have to get up and
go back to the house and check herself, see if I'm okay. It's
just that quick. And oh my, blind Bartimaeus,
what do you want? I want my sight. Okay, immediately
his sight was restored. And I tell you what, when our
Lord called his John James away from the nets, the scripture
said, straightway, immediately, They left him. You remember when
that man was let down through the roof of the house and our
Lord Jesus Christ looked at him and said, your sins be forgiven
you. And they got all upset about it. Nobody can forgive sins but
God, but that you know that the son of man has power to forgive
sin. Take up your bed and walk. And immediately that man got
up and walked. And what I'm saying is God don't
take all day to get something done. What he does, he does quickly,
fast, and I'm so thankful for it. There's three lepers come
down from the mountain and say, Lord, if you will, thou can make
us clean. And he said, I will. And immediately
they were clean. That's how quick Christ can come
down and get us, bear us on those eagles' wings. And then it's
a powerful way, a powerful way. Look what he says, how I bear
you. I did it. He said, I bear you. I bear you, O'Neal Weeks, I bear
you. You know, it was by the power
of God. This was God's way of doing things.
God's, you know, I bear you. I wouldn't have bared you. It
wasn't by, They were born up out of Egypt. Salvations of the
Lord. And look in Isaiah chapter 46. Go over here in Isaiah 46. Talk about bearing. I bear you. I bear you up. Isaiah 46. Oh, it's such a powerful
way. I bear you. How could God bear
so many? Our Lord Jesus Christ, you remember,
He says, you know, what man hath a hundred sheep and ninety-nine
sheep, and in the foam one goes astray, one's lost. He said He
goes through the wilderness, goes everywhere looking for that
lost sheep. And when He's found it, what
does He do with it? Puts it on His shoulder. He bears
it. The Scripture said He bears it
on His shoulder. on his shoulder. But look what
he said, you talking about a blessing. What a blessing this right here
is. Verse three, hearken unto me, O house of Jacob. That's
just who he's talking to back there. Oh, Jacob, remember what
I did? Remember what I did to your enemies? You ain't gonna see them no more.
Don't have to deal with them anymore. And all the remnant
of the house of Israel, Listen to this, which are born by me
from the belly, which are carried from the womb, even to your old
age, I am he. Even to your gray hairs, that's
what that whore hairs means, even to your gray hairs will
I carry you. I have made and I will bear,
even I will carry and will deliver you. What a promise, what a promise. That's God's way. I bury you
by the power of God. He purchased by the blood out
of Egypt and they were born by the power of God, brought up
out of Egypt. And they said, stand still and
see the salvation of the Lord. And I tell you this salvation
he's talking about, it's a passage from death to life, death to
life. I bury you from your mother's
belly, from your mother's belly. And then look what the end of
this way is. There in verse four, you have seen what I did unto
your enemies. How I bear you, I bared you,
I carried you on eagle's wings. And this is the reason for it.
I brought you unto myself. I did that to bring you to me.
I did all this. I brought you out of Egypt. bore
you on eagles' wings, killed your enemies in the Red Sea,
bared you on eagles' wings, and I've done all that for one reason,
to bring you to myself, to bring you to myself. Oh, my. You know, the Scriptures tells
us over in 1 Peter 3, 18, that Christ once suffered for sins,
the just for the unjust. Why did he do that? That he might
bring us to God. He has to be the one to bring
us. He brought us to God. He brings us to God. You know,
we were far off, but we're made nigh by the blood of Christ.
You know, salvation is to know God. Well, how can you know him? He says he brings us unto himself. I brought you unto myself. I
did this to bring you unto myself. And then I want to show you some
conditions, and I'm going to show you where the conditions
are met. Look what he says down there in verse 5, Now therefore, since I brought
you to myself, carried you on eagle wing, destroyed your enemies,
now there if you will obey my voice indeed, keep my covenant,
then you shall be a peculiar treasure unto me. A people above
all people, for all the earth is mine. Now I tell you what,
the condition is this, obedience, obey my voice, and keep my covenant. You know anybody that's obeyed
his voice perfectly? Oh, there are two things here
that must be done. Obey my voice, obedience, obey
what I have to say. And the second was, is be faithful,
keep my covenant. And oh my, I do know one thing,
that I, it's, you know, the will is present with me, but how to
perform, I know not how. Paul said, O wretched man that
I am, who shall save me from this body of dead? But the things
that God requires, the condition he obeyed my voice, there's one
person, one soul, one man that obeyed God, and he obeyed God. You know, there's two men in
the Bible that God deals with the whole human race and those
two men, Adam and Christ, the first Adam and the last Adam,
Christ. the first Adam, he disobeyed God, and we disobeyed God in
him. But the second Adam, he obeyed God PERFECTLY! Everything
God told him to do, he did. The words that I speak, they
re not mine, the words that my Father give me. I do ALWAYS those
things that please Him, and everything our Lord did, He did PERFECTLY! He did SINLESSLY! He did Purely
and every way possible. It's just it. There's no way
that he did not obey God perfectly and Now how in the world can
we obey his voice? We don't hear a voice We don't
hear a voice. They heard a voice coming off
that mountain. We don't hear a voice You know, the only voice
we'll ever hear from is that right there? That's the only
voice we'll ever hear from Is what thus saith the Lord? I was
listening to a preacher say that preaching the other day, Kevin
Thacker on the two Adams out of Jonah, and he mentioned me
in that. He said, Donnie Bell said he
has no problem believing that the whale swallowed Jonah, but
he said if the Bible said that Jonah swallowed the whale, I
d believe that because that s what God said. If God says it, that's
what I believe. I don't know everything He said,
but whatever it is, I believe it, don't you? And that's what
we're talking about. Whatever God's Word says, I believe
it. I WANT to obey His voice, I do,
but I don't hear an audible voice. I hear a spiritual voice. I hear
the Word of God, and the Word of God tells me this, Trust Christ,
believe Christ, come to Christ, obey Christ, but He�s the Word!
You know, words is used to COMMUNICATE! Words is used express somebody
s ideas, what s in their mind, what s in their heart. Well,
the WORDS that Christ come to do, the WORDS that Christ obeyed,
that s the way He communicates with us, that s the way He expresses
Himself is in His Word. We don t know what God s mind
is unless we look in His Word. We don t know what His will is
unless we look in His Word. We don t know what His will is
for us unless we look in His Word. But I tell you what, I
know one person that's obeyed His voice perfectly. Now I'd
love to, I'd love to. And I tell you what, He makes
it, and the only way in the world we can do that is being made
alive by the Holy Ghost. Then He said, keep my covenant,
keep my covenant. Well, look over in Exodus 24. You know, the only way in the
world, there has to be something done for us, for us to be faithful,
Exodus 24. Oh, keep my covenant. And look what happens, what's
got to happen. Down here in verse 6, now they killed the sacrifices
and caught the blood in a basin, half of the blood in a basin,
put half of it on the altar and the other half they put it in
basins. Half of the blood He sprinkled upon the altar, and
He took the book of the covenant, that was the Word of God. We
have to have the Word of God sprinkled with the blood. We
couldn't understand it without the Holy Ghost. We couldn't understand
it without the blood of Christ and the sacrifice of Christ.
And He took the book of the covenant, read it in the audience of the
people, and they said, All that the Lord has said we only do,
and He be obedient. Moses took the blood, and this
is what has to happen to us. sprinkled it on the people and
said, behold, the blood of the covenant which hath made with
you concerning these words. The only way in the world that
we can keep that covenant by the blood of Christ. The only way we can do that is
through our Lord Jesus Christ. How can we be faithful and keep
the covenant? Christ kept the covenant. And
I tell you, that covenant assures us assures us of Christ's obedience,
faithful, and assures us of blessings through our Lord Jesus Christ.
And then look what He tells us about what's going to happen
to us. He said in verse 6, but back
up in verse 5, right there at the last part of it, He said,
Unto me above all people. You're going to be unto me above
all people. All the people on the earth, you're gonna be under
me above everybody else on this earth. You're mine, you're mine. And then he goes on to say this,
and you shall be under me, a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.
These are the words which thou shall speak unto the children
of Israel. A peculiar treasure, you're gonna be mine above all
people. The scriptures tells us that we have this treasure
in earthen vessels, in clay pots. It's a treasure, it's a treasure.
And God calls us a peculiar treasure. You feel like you're a treasure?
Feel like you'd be a treasure to anybody? Christ said, you're
mine, you're my peculiar treasure. And then he says, you're gonna
be a kingdom of priest, kingdom of priest. We're not only precious
to Him, but He's going to make us useful. And He said, All of
God's people are going to be priests. And then He says this,
You're going to be a holy nation, a holy nation. Now, I'm going
to close out with I Peter chapter 3. Go over to I Peter chapter
3, and let me show you what exactly happens here. Excuse me, I Peter
chapter 2, I'm sorry. I don't know why I keep saying
3. A holy nation to inherit a new
heaven and a new earth. Look what he says down here in
verse five. He also has lively stones, living
stones, that's what he says, or build up a spiritual house.
Living stones build up a spiritual house, not a physical house,
spiritual house, and holy priesthood. You know, they had a priesthood
under the Old Testament, under the law, and the Levites was
the only people that could be priests, and Aaron was the very
first priest, and his sons were the second priests, and they
always had priests, always had the high priest. So now we have
the priesthood. We, priests, want to offer sacrifices. That's what they were given to
do. But we're a holy priesthood to offer up spiritual sacrifices,
not blood sacrifices, not lambs, not goats, not bulls, not heifers,
but offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God only one way,
by Jesus Christ our Lord. And it's also contained in the
scripture. Behold, I lay in Zion a chief
cornerstone, elect, precious, and he that believeth on him
is not gonna be ashamed, confounded, brought to nonpluss, we don't
know, have a clue what he's doing. Unto you, therefore, which believe
he is precious. Unto them which be disobedient,
the stone which the builders disallowed, the same as made
the head over the corner. and a stone of stumbling, and
a rock of offense, even to them which stumble at the word," at
God's Word, being disobedient. And listen to this, they were
appointed to be disobedient. They were appointed to stumble
at the Word. But, and this is what he said over there, you
are a chosen generation. Not only over there, he said,
just a priesthood. Here he says, you're a royal priesthood. You're
a royalty. you have a royal priesthood, and you're a holy nation. All
of God's people is a holy nation, and He sent a peculiar people,
a purchased people, and this is the reason that you should
show forth the praises of Him who hath called you out of darkness
into His marvelous light. Started out, you see what I did. I'm glad it's dead. Old Festus
on gun smoke all the time said, we wouldn't know what was dead
if we didn't know what they did when they did it, and then they
did it again. So I'm glad that he did it. We say he did it all, all to
him I owe. Our Lord, in the blessed name
of Christ, I thank you for allowing us to meet here tonight. And I thank you for the words. And
I thank you for the salvation that's accomplished. I thank
you that you set us apart to be your people, of all the people
of the earth. You called us chosen, we're chosen
of you. Purchased by you. made a priesthood by you. And
every sacrifice we offer, it's a spiritual sacrifice. It comes
from the heart. It comes from our souls. It's
a prayer. It's a thanksgiving. It's a praise. It's a groan. And Lord, it's
a spiritual sacrifice. And we're so grateful. that you
made everything that we say or do acceptable through your son,
the Lord Jesus Christ. God help us, keep us, see these
folks safely home, meet the needs of their home, their hearts,
forgive us of everything, forgive me of everything that's unlike
you. Give your people travel and mercies. For Christ's sake
I pray, amen. Amen, you're at liberty to go.
I'll see you Wednesday night. Okay.
