All right, if you wish to follow
along, turn to actually Exodus chapter three. I hope most everyone
here today got my text. I hope you were able to read
Exodus chapter two, three, and four, just to have in your mind
the context here. But what I'm going to read for
my text is Exodus chapter three, verses seven, eight, nine, and
10. This is the Lord God speaking to Moses. In Exodus three, verse
seven, he says this. And the Lord said, I have surely
seen the affliction of my people which are in Egypt, and I have
heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters, for I know
their sorrows. And I am come down to deliver
them. and I am come down to deliver
them out of the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that
land unto a good land and a large, unto a land flowing with milk
and honey, unto the place of the Canaanites and the Hittites
and the Amorites and the Perizzites and the Hivites and the Jebusites. Now therefore, Behold, the cry
of the children of Israel has come up unto me, and I have also
seen the oppression wherewith the Egyptians oppressed them.
Now think about this. Come now, therefore, and I will
send thee unto Pharaoh. Why didn't God just go do this
himself? Of course, that's not the way
God ordained to do it. That's the only reason. Come
now, therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou
mayest bring forth my people, the children of Israel, out of
Egypt. Well, I thought God came to deliver
them. He did. Well, how can Moses be
said to be the one to lead them out, to deliver them? Because
this is God's ordained way. Now, remember that the book of
Exodus is about the departure. It's about the Israelites being
brought out of bondage. God never saves a man or a woman
until they're brought into bondage. Men want to ask the question,
what do I need to do to be saved? What do I need to do to get God
to save me? Go into bondage. Go into bondage. This religious world says deliver
yourself out of bondage. God delivers those that are in
bondage. You see, people who don't need
saving will never be saved. Now technically, truthfully,
all men need deliverance because all men are in bondage. But they
don't all know it. And they certainly don't want
it. You remember some of those old Jews of old? They said, we
be Abraham's seed and never been in bondage to any man. They were
lying like a dog. They had been in bondage physically
and they were in bondage spiritually since they were conceived and
born. But a religious man will hate the truth. Pharaoh was a religious man.
and the truth just hardened him and hardened him and caused himself
to harden and to harden and the truth hardened him and hardened
him. Just to jump ahead, God did not bring the 10 plagues
upon Egypt to soften Pharaoh up. God could have brought the first
one at the get-go and just stopped this whole thing right off from
the start, but God was pleased to manifest to the then-known
world One of the mightiest kingdoms in the world of that time. I
will show my wonders. So remember, the exodus is the
departure, but it is a decreed departure by divine, eternal,
immutable covenant. God remembered his covenant.
You see, the foundation of it wasn't the cry of his people.
They'd been crying for years. Now that's a part of the reason,
but it's not the foundation. The foundation was God's covenant.
God could have kept them out of bondage. Remember, we've come
all the way through Genesis. God was the one that sent them
down there. So therefore, let me speak the truth for sure,
you can't put yourself in bondage. It will have to be God that puts
you there. Don't have to be God that put you there. But the exodus
is affected by blood and power. You see it? It wasn't just, okay,
there's a covenant for a departure, and a departure just happens.
There are people who say they believe in grace, that that's
what they believe. Since God decreed a departure, a salvation
before the world began, well, if I'm a part of that, then everything's
fine and nothing else needs to happen. No, sir, that is a lie. That is not free reigning grace.
That is not sovereign grace. That's not even good Calvinism.
It's not even good Calvinism. The exodus is affected by blood
and power. A lot of people talk about the
blood. They talk about the blood of Christ, but they don't know
anything about the power of the blood of Christ. Our text reveals
the soul deliverer. Come now therefore, and I will
send thee unto Pharaoh. And they're coming out. Now they
will come out in God's good time. You see, God's not in a hurry
in this thing. Men lie on God all the time and
depict God as though he's rushing and trying to rush us. Now it
does say today's the day of salvation. If you will hear his voice, don't
you harden your heart, because you see, if you've read any other,
the rest of Exodus, it's dangerous to harden your heart against
God. God don't owe you a first chance, and I'll use that word,
let alone a second chance. Don't play games with God. Here's my text, or my title for
my text. and come down to deliver. He didn't come down to try to
deliver. Again, I emphasize, he didn't work on Pharaoh to
soften him up, he worked on Pharaoh to harden him up. And to force
Pharaoh's hand. And you know, the 10th plague,
the one of the Passover and the death messenger coming through,
that didn't convert Pharaoh. because it was just a few hours
later, he said, what have I done? Babies are laying dead everywhere. Maybe older people, if you're
a firstborn, laying dead everywhere. Their carcasses just starting
to rot and stink. And Pharaoh says, what have I
done? Let's go over, take them in the wilderness. You know why? Because God was pleased to drown
Pharaoh and his army in the Red Sea, and the Red Sea it would
be. Now, note this deliverance moves forward. How does it move
forward? God said, I've come down, told Moses, I've come down
to deliver. How does it then move forward?
I'm sending you. Isn't that what it says? I'm
sending you. Verse 10, come now therefore
and I will send thee unto Pharaoh that thou mayest bring forth
my people, the children of Israel, out of Egypt. So God had come
down to deliver and he'd come down to deliver by one man. Isn't that right? He'd come down
to deliver by one man. God always delivers by one man. This all, now this was a real
deliverance. And it had both physical, earthy,
natural, and even spiritual implications and effects. But this mainly
shows us it's given in the scripture. God let all this take place to
show us who his son is. And the power of his son. He
came down to deliver his people in the person of his son. Jesus is the savior. Hmm. God sends one man to deliver. Now, I wanna give you a few things
showing that Moses foreshadows Christ, but let me point out,
Moses only foreshadows Christ. Moses wasn't even close to equal
to Christ. Not even close. Now, I'm not
even gonna preach on these, but just think about this. I'll give
you four things. I'll give you four passages of
scripture that if you can't write them down now, get online, do
whatever, find the text again and read over these. Think about
this. Here's some illustrations. Moses typifying Christ. Moses
foreshadowing Christ. Moses was protected as a child.
Most of you will know this all. Maybe somebody out there watching
on the TV may not, but Moses was protected as a child. We
find Moses fleeing. Don't we? Moses fleeing. We find Moses being prepared.
Don't we? And we find Moses finally revealed.
as God's sent deliverer. Don't we? Think of it, Christ
was eternally prepared. Now I say eternally prepared.
Moses had to be prepared because Moses had faults. Moses had to
be prepared because Moses lacked all the necessary elements that
he would need to bring this about. As a matter of fact, there's
even an element brought in to help him, his brother Aaron, and I
just love that part. Moses said, Lord, I can't speak.
You're sending me to Pharaoh. I can't speak. And God knew he
couldn't speak. He said, but Moses, who created
man's tongue? And God became angry with Moses. Now, I'm not
even going into that one. God loved Moses, but he became
angry at Moses. He said, guess what, Moses? I
know you can't speak well. Your brother Aaron, he's already
on the way here. Even before you complained about it. And that always happens for us,
too, when we complain. If we're one of his. And don't
think that none of his never complained because we're going
in, God willing, to the book of Exodus. I mean, it don't take
us long to complain. But he said, guess what, Moses?
Aaron's coming. He will be happy to see you.
And he gonna bring you a mouthpiece. You tell him, I'm gonna tell
you what I won't say it. You tell him and he'll talk to
Pharaoh. And that's the way it was. That's the way it was. Aren't
you glad for a God like that? That overrules our weaknesses
and prepares us for wherein we stay. When I'm weak, what did
Paul say? Then am I strong. Why? Because
Christ is my strength. So Christ was eternally prepared.
You can find that Proverbs 8, 22 through 36. Eternally prepared. That is, Joe, there never was
a time when he wasn't prepared. But there never was a time when
he wasn't being prepared. He was eternally prepared. I
can't explain that, it just is. I'm not in the explaining business,
I'm in the declaring business. I'm tired of trying to explain
to people these things. Here's what it says, this is
the way it is. And the amazing thing in that passage is, this
is one thing. At this time, even before the world was, Jesus Christ
the Son said, and my delights were with the sons of men. Wow. He even knowing what we would
become in the fall of our daddy Adam. Secondly, Christ being
sent was prepared. Hebrews chapter 10 verses five
through 14, specifically, a body hast thou prepared me. That is astounding. I can't explain
it. Paul calls it one of the great
mysteries of godliness. God was manifest in the flesh. Also, Christ was protected as
a child. You'll find that in Matthew chapter
two, verses 11 through 20. Herod would have killed Jesus
Christ. Think of the hundreds if not
thousands of babies. I'm just gonna throw this, why
didn't God stop him like he stopped Pharaoh? Why didn't God stop
him like he stopped the, he suffered hundreds if not thousands, Mason,
of infants to die, but he spared his only begotten son. Had Joseph
in a dream warned and sent him down into Egypt. Let me tell you something, folks.
God Almighty is not near as concerned about our physical well-being
and emotional state as we are. That's not saying God is against
our physical well-being and emotional state. But he may be at times. He may be at times. Because sometimes
our physical state can get in the way. And sometimes our emotional state
can't, no. A lot of the times, our emotional
state gets in the way. And Christ was revealed. And you see that in Matthew chapter
three, verse 13, all the way through chapter four, verse one.
When Jesus Christ was baptized of John the Baptist, but John
the Baptist didn't want to do it. And he said, you suffered
to be so for now. And when Jesus Christ was baptized,
it says there came a voice from heaven. The father said, this
is my beloved son in whom I am well pleased. And immediately,
what does it say? The spirit led him into the wilderness
to be tempted of the devil. He was prepared, Mason. Not because
he had lack, but to show that eternally he was prepared and
there was no lack in him. So there are you some morsels
to take. I just throwed you out some packages.
Take them home and unwrap them and start hooking through those
things. So, who was it that came down to deliver? Who was it? Now, you might not be getting
the question I'm asking. Moses asked this, did he not? You remember
reading it? Look at chapter three, verse
13. And Moses said unto God, behold, when I come unto the
children of Israel, and shall say unto them, the God of your
fathers has sent me unto you, and they shall say to me, what
is his name? What shall I say to them? Who
is, who are you? You know what he said? What's
your name? And God said unto Moses, I am
that I am. And he said, thus shalt thou
say unto the children of Israel. Now this is to Israel, we're
not talking about Pharaoh here. Thus shalt thou say unto the
children of Israel, I am has sent me unto you. And the I am has revealed himself. Turn to John chapter eight. Now this is amazing, because
I'm here to declare to us here this morning, and anyone who
may hear this message later on in some other venue, that Jesus
Christ is the one that was speaking to Moses right here. Now he may not be what we can
call, Mac, technically Jesus of Nazareth yet, but it's still
Jesus the Christ. Look at what Jesus the Christ
said, John chapter eight, Now let's begin in verse 21. Then
said Jesus again unto them, I go my way, and ye shall seek me,
and shall die in your sins. Whoa. So evidently there's a
seeking that don't cut the mustard. People are so seeker sensitive
today. Oh, as long as you're a seeker,
everything's fine. Maybe not. And I'm just gonna let that lay
right there. Think about that. Then said Jesus again to them,
I go my way and you shall seek me and shall die in your sins.
Whether I go, ye cannot come. That's frightening language.
Then said the Jews, will he kill himself? They didn't get it,
did they? Just like we didn't get it when we first began to
hear the truth. We started to hear the truth
and what did we do? Try to blame God. What's he gonna do, go commit
suicide? That's what they were saying.
He's the one that's gonna die in his sin, he's gonna go kill
himself. Isn't that what they were saying, Mason? Will he kill
himself because he saith, whether I go, ye cannot come? Because
we'd never do that. You see what they're saying?
They're mocking someone here. Now look, let's see. And he said
unto them, ye are from beneath. I am from above. Ye are of this
world. I am not of this world. I can't say that to anyone. But
he could. He could. I said therefore unto
you that ye shall die in your sins. For if ye believe not that
I am Now you see the he is interpolated there. If you have a correct
Bible that's honest enough, it's not really there. Now it doesn't
destroy it, but it can convolute it, okay? What did he say to
these Jews? I said you shall die in your
sins, for if you believe not that I am, ye shall die in your
sins. You see, you will either believe
that Jesus Christ is the Lord God Almighty that came down and
spoke with Moses and delivered the children of Israel out of
Egyptian bondage, then you don't know God. This is God. This man is God. And he was back here talking
to Moses. And God said, that's Jesus Christ.
I am that I am. But look, he goes on. If you
believe not that I am, you shall die in your sins. Then said they
unto him, who art thou? Jesus said to them, even the
same that I said unto you from the beginning. I have many things
to say and to judge of you, but he that sent me is true, and
I speak to the world those things which I have heard of him. They
understood not that he spake to them of the Father. Then Jesus
said unto them, when ye have lifted up the Son of Man, then
shall ye know that I am. Now let me tell you something.
Until you begin to understand that I am is the divine substitute
and sacrifice of blood, you don't know God yet. Now he's not saying
all of you people will be saved one day. That's not what he's
talking about. He's saying, I came for a reason. is to be lifted
up. That's the sole purpose he came
into this world for the first time, to die on that cross. to
be buried in a tomb, to be raised the third day, and eventually
to be exalted by being ascended, brought back up into heaven,
and sat down at the right hand of God the Father, having reconciled
his people already, having sanctified his people already, having perfected
the sanctified already. It's a done deal. The message
is not God's done this, now will you do this and help God out. The difference between grace
and human works is this. Human works says God's done some
things, now you need to do some things. Grace says it's all done. Do you believe it? Do you believe
it? Who I am was revealed. Now here
are a few more choice morsels and we'll deal with those in
a little more detail. Five things, but I've got to try to move briefly.
Deliverance. When I'm talking about deliverance,
I'm talking about now salvation. This was a salvation for these
folks. Was it not? They were saved. You see, people
say, well, what's salvation mean? What's deliverance mean? What's
this mean? You know exactly what it means. You just want to sit
and argue over points so you don't have to get to the real
facts or the truth. Deliverance, that is salvation,
is God's visitation of a people. We've seen that in our text.
I am come down to deliver them. And what did our Lord say? He
said, other sheep I have, which are not of this fold, that is,
of these Jewish believers. You see, remember, not every
Jew was truly the Israel of God. They were a Israel as a nation
and a people, but they weren't the Israel of God. And he said,
other sheep I have, which are not of this fold, them also I
must bring. I like that. Because just being
a sheep ain't enough. You hear me? If I'm one of the
elect, that's all that matters. No, that's not all that matters.
You're deceiving yourself. Now if you're one of the elect,
that's a big thing. But that's not all that matters.
He gonna have to come and get you. He owns you. He owns you
by creative power and right, and he owns you by blood. The
other sheep I have which are not of this fold, them also I
must bring, and there shall be what? One fold. There's not a
Jewish church and a Gentile church. There's not a white church and
a black church. There is one church. There is one fold. Them also I must bring, and there
shall be one fold. And what? One shepherd. You see, these sheep. I don't
care, you call yourself a sheep. Oh, I believe in election. Do
you follow the one shepherd? Do you follow? Is the one shepherd
all that matters to you? Secondly, the enemy, the enemy. And what is the enemy? Let me
sum it up. The enemies, I know you can break
it down even further. Here's the enemy, Satan. sin,
society, and self. And I'll put it that way, I've
worked on them a few little easy words, just help you to remember.
Here's the enemy, Satan, sin, society, and self. And they're
all the enemy, it's not an and or. They're all the enemy. They're all the enemy. Satan,
sin, society, and self. The enemy, though bent on retaining
bondage, the enemy will be defeated. Chapter three, verses 19 through
22. Look, and I am sure that the
king of Egypt will not let you go. Now wait a minute, understand
what God's saying here. He's not gonna give in. He's
not gonna just give in. He ain't gonna do it. Look, not
by a mighty hand, not by his, by God's mighty hand, yes. In
other words, Moses, you and my people, you and your people,
y'all can't do this. This man's got more power than
you. He'd wipe you out in a heartbeat. Isn't it amazing, if you've read
through some more of this already, that Pharaoh even let Moses stand
before him as many times as he did? This was the most powerful man
in that country. He could've just said, to you,
and you're gone. And yet God kept this rebel at
bay and had Moses and Aaron walk in nine times. Now only nine, well maybe it's
only eight, we'd have to go back and look at that. Remember, God
said go tell Pharaoh something? If you read it, God brought the
plague before Moses and Aaron even went in to tell him about
it. Now you go back and look at that. I didn't even know that,
Mason, until I read back through this. The enemy? will be defeated. Now look, no, not by a mighty
hand, and I will stretch out my hand and smite Egypt with
all my wonders, which I will do in the midst thereof, and
after that, he will let you go. But it's gonna be more than just,
all right, go on. They're gonna say, here, get out and take this
with you. Folks, this whole, now listen
to me, it's not bragging about us. I'm talking about our God.
This whole world is still in existence today because God Almighty
is pleased to bless His people today in this world until the
end comes. I don't care how miserable your
life is, it could be a lot worse. It could be a lot worse. We deserve
a lot worse. Oh, but when God delivers you,
even the enemies will say, get out of here, take this with you.
I'll take this with you. I'm not even going into all of
that. I don't even know if I could preach on all that or not. Don't
know if I may even get my mind around all that or not. Here's
the third thing. Note the three proofs that were
given to the delivered. Did you look at it? Read chapter
four, verse one. And Moses answered and said,
but behold, they will not believe me, nor hearken unto my voice,
for they will say, the Lord hath not appeared unto thee. And God
said, here, three signs you're gonna give. These are for the
children of Israel. These are not the wonders, the
signs, the plagues that came on Egypt. And notice, if you
went through and read it, notice what they were. A serpent, leprosy,
and blood. You remember? A serpent, leprosy,
and blood. I know some of you already say,
I understand that. What's the serpent represent?
Our fall in Adam. That's where it all started.
That's where the bondage started. The bondage didn't start when
you was conceived and born. It started back there in the
garden. That's where it started. And
what about the leprosy? Corruption. You see, when it
started back yonder, that means everyone born to Adam and Eve
come into this world with totally corrupt hearts. And then blood. What's blood? Here's the word. When you think of Christ's blood,
think of this. Divine satisfaction to God. God in his holy justice is satisfied. The Son of God poured out his
blood under the wrath and judgment of God so that the holy God could
be just and still save people like me and you. And that's the
gospel. It's stated in just a few words.
Now, number four, another morsel. The deliverer, Moses, had a mouthpiece. You remember that? I've already
mentioned that. We won't go back through it.
Think about this. God has his ordained means. God forgive me if I ever begin
to disdain those means. Or slight those means. God help
me. I know I've probably done it
before. Don't do it. It pleased God by the foolishness
of preaching. to save them that believe. But
it's not just preaching. And it's not just any kind of
preaching. Because in the same thing, First Corinthians 121
is where Paul records that. It pleased God by the foolishness
of preaching to save them that believe. But in chapter two,
and this all flows. Paul knew what he was doing,
plus he'd been moved by the spirit of God when he was writing this
down. In chapter two, he goes into this. It must be spirit
attended means. He says, God Almighty's got to
give you his spirit first before you can ever know the things
that God freely gives you. He got to give you the spirit
first. You see, you got to be born from above before you can
even see. When somebody, we need to make
men see. You can't make them see. I can't make them see. We
need to make them know they're sinners. I can't make them know. That's the Spirit's job. When
He's come, He'll convince the world of what? Sin. Righteousness and judgment. You
see, that's the, today, this is what the soul winner is taught
to do. You need to go out and convince
them they're a sinner. And if you can get them to say, well, yes, I'm a
sinner, then they can pray this prayer and they'll be saved. That's
a lie. It's not salvation. The Spirit of God must convince
a man or a woman they're a sinner. But if you go back and look at
it, 2 Corinthians 2, 12 and 13, he basically said, the Spirit
of God's gotta teach you this. But what the Spirit of God teaches,
we preach. We say it. God uses the words
to inform his people and to capture his people. Not just inform,
but to capture his people. But, let us remember, This is
God decided results. It's God decided results. First
Corinthians three, that's what he then says in verses five through
nine. He says, Apollos watered after
I'd come in and sowed seed. He said, but me and Apollos are
nothing. He did not say sowing seed and watering is nothing. No, sir. But the one who does
the sowing, the one that does the watering, that ain't the
big deal. God'll send the sower. God'll send the waterer. What
really matters? Two things, sowing, watering,
and God giving the increase. And then he says, we then being
workers together with God. And said, well you're turning
to Arminianism. Now that ain't Arminianism, that's God's truth.
God ordained Moses to be the deliverer, and God gave Moses
a mouthpiece so these things could be said. That's the same
thing we see in the New Testament, is it not? God's gospel is consistent,
and it's always been consistent, and it'll always be consistent.
Number five, number five. God teaches his sent ones their
own faults. Remember Moses chapter four,
verses 18 through 26? Moses knew about circumcision.
You can bet you a bottom dollar he knew about circumcision. But
he had them kids. Didn't circumcise that boy. God
sought to kill him. Did you read it? God sought to
kill him. What about God's sovereign purpose?
God's honored holiness comes first. That comes first. But even then, God had prepared
his rebellious wife to take care of the situation. Is that not
what this says? And Zipporah, his wife, comes
along with a sharp stone. I cannot imagine. and circumcised
that little boy and got this blood on his circumcised skin
and throws it at his feet and says, you're a bloody man unto
me. You see, God teaches his sent
ones their faults. You see, Joe, myself, any other
man that stands here to teach you publicly the word of God,
we are no better than you are. We have to be prepared just like
you do. And we're as faulty as you are.
Maybe more so. Because people like Joe and myself,
other pastors, we're to have our heads buried in this book. You know that? And in prayer.
And the more God shows you from his word, the more accountable
we are. God teaches his sent ones their
faults. I don't know all the sovereign purpose of God. I really
don't. I'm not saying I do, but I know a little reason why God
suffered Satan to sift Peter's wheat. Peter was a proud, strong
man. When he said he loved, he said,
Lord, I'll die with you. He proved it by pulling out that sword
in front of that mad mob. And actually, it wasn't like
even a great big, it was just a little knife. Cut that man's
ear off. And I do agree with the preacher
who said, I don't think he was aiming for his ear. I think he
was going for his throat and just didn't get a good whack
at it. But then, just moments later,
Mac, he goes out and denies his Lord three times. And curses
and swears during one of them. And now on the day of Pentecost,
here he stands before those people, and he knows, I remember what
I did too. I'm gonna just give you this,
and it'll stand up the test in almost every passage you find
the words. Jesus Christ is our example. You wanna know how to
walk, how to live, how to believe? Look at Jesus Christ. Pastors
are ensamples. Have you ever noticed that word?
It's a little bit different. That is, I show you both sides
of the coin. With Jesus Christ, they ain't
but one side of the coin. There's no good and bad with
Jesus Christ. You want an example, look at him. You want an ensample,
look at me. And that's just the way it is.
You see, when God does these things, what happens? Chapter
four, let's read it. When God does these things, what
happens? This, I'm gonna end it up. Chapter
four, verse 27. Let me find my spot. Here it is. Chapter four, verse
27. That is when God visits, God engages his ordained means,
and God attends his ordained means. Here's what's gonna happen. And the Lord said to Aaron, go
into the wilderness to meet Moses. And he went. And he met him in
the mount of God. Remember, they're gonna come
back to this mount. and kissed him. And Moses told Aaron all
the words of the Lord who had sent him and all the signs which
he had commanded him. Now that's the three signs. They
didn't know these 10 plagues that were coming. And Moses and
Aaron went and gathered together all the elders of the children
of Israel. And Aaron spake all the words which the Lord had
spoken unto Moses and did the signs in the sight of the people.
And the people believed. And believe we must. Oh, God, help me to believe.
But look, it's more than, well, I hear people all over the place
talking about believing. Believing who? Believing what?
It says if you call on the name of the Lord, you'll be saved,
but that don't mean you're gonna say, Jesus Christ, please save me. It says
you got to hear who he is first. You can't call on him unless
you first believe in him, and you can't believe in him unless
you first heard about him, and you ain't gonna hear about him
unless God sends you a man to tell you about him. And I don't
care if you're reading this Bible yourself. You're not hearing
another preacher. I never heard a preacher, I was
reading the Bible. These are the writings of men.
These are the messages of men. But they were God sent men. And
look, the people believed, but it's more than that. And when
they heard that the Lord had visited, not is going to visit,
has visited the children of Israel, and that he had looked upon their
afflictions, then they bowed their heads and worshiped. Worship ain't this. You see everybody
today doing this. Don't they? Now you look on the
TV, do you not? They call it worship. You know
what worship is? It's getting down and doing this.
putting your face in the dust before God. You remember that
one man at the temple that got mercy? Another one was our Pharisee,
he didn't get mercy. He said he wouldn't even lift
up his eyes toward heaven. Paul Pendleton, sometimes when
I pray, I'll set it on my porch early in the morning before I
go to work and I'm drinking a cup of coffee and I'll start to pray and lift
my eyes up and I'll start feeling guilty already. You understand what I'm saying?
Because they don't even deserve to look up toward God. Oh, but
they bowed their heads in worship. Here's the conclusion. When God
so visits, all so visited will believe. Yeah, they will. And their believing is motivated
by reverence and submission and worship. And that's the way it
always is when God begins to deliver a man or a woman or a
boy or a girl. You're gonna believe and you
will believe out of reverence and submission. and worship. God help us. Mason, would you
close us in prayer, please?
