Exodus chapter 19 verses 1:00 to 6:00.
On the first day of the third month, after the Israelis left
Egypt, on that very day they came to the desert of Sinai.
After they set out from Refidim, they entered the desert of
Sinai, and Israel camped there in the desert in front of the
mountain. Then Moses went up to God, and
the Lord called him from the mountain and said, This is what
you are to say to the descendants of Jacob, and what
you are to tell the people of Israel.
You yourselves have seen what I did to Egypt and how I carried
you on eagle's wings and brought you to myself.
Now if you obey me fully and keep my covenant, then out of
all the nations you will be my treasured possession.
Although the whole earth is mine, you will be for me a
Kingdom of priests and a holy nation.
These are the words you are to speak to the Israelites.
It is amazing words I am telling you.
The very first thing that I want to say here is about the Mount
Sinai. Why it is important for Moses.
First of all, it is important to Moses, you know, you realize
that why it is important to Moses, where he was keeping the
sheep and you know, the cattle of his father-in-law.
He was roaming on this mountains.
He saw the burning Bush. Where was it?
Mount Sinai. So he saw the Bush caught on
fire, but the Bush itself is not burning.
He only saw the flames, but the Bush itself is not Catching
Fire. So he came nearer to see what is
it. So as he came nearer, he heard
the voice coming from the Bush. Moses.
Moses, here am I. Take off the sandals because the
ground on which you are standing is holy.
And you see you see lot of the other things in Exodus,
beginning of the Exodus you will see all this story.
But one of the things, things in chapter 3 verse 12, the Lord
said to him, God said, I will be with you and this will be the
sign to you that it is I who have sent you.
When you have brought the people out of Egypt, you will worship
God on this mountain. Is it happening now, happening
now? It is happening now.
So it is important for Moses that he is called by God.
It is important for Moses that it is a fulfillment of the
promise of God that I will. I am sending you to Egypt, but
you will bring the people and worship me here on this
mountain. That is fulfilled.
A prophecy fulfilled. So chapter 19 is a prophecy
fulfilled. Now I want to encourage you if
you have a word God has spoken into your life anytime any
promise you wholeheartedly believed it is going to be
fulfilled. Can I share a Amen.
So if you receive a word from God, it will be fulfilled.
I am telling you Omega is not built on anybody's imagination
is not because I want to start a church so many times I said I do
not want to write a book. I do not want to write a start
an organization, but it is God who spoke in the year 2000
Build, come build the Church of God and it was fulfilled in 2019
when I got the call and in 2020 we started the church after the
corvid. So this is not our imagination.
Don't look at the few people now and say, hey, this is this man
says God called him, but this look at see if there are no
people here, not many, it's coming.
Even if some more go from here, it does not mean God has not
called his church into existence.
God has called his into existence.
He has a plan and a purpose. So that is first thing that we
want to keep it in mind. Second thing here is this is the
third month after the Israelites left Egypt.
How long third month? Why do we have to focus on the
third month? This is third month, let's say
first day of the third month. They have reached there.
So in the last two months, what things have happened in two
months? In the last two months, what
have happened? God brought the 10 plagues and
set them free. After every elders of the first
born of the male are dead, they let them go and they came and
they pursued them. They were destroyed in the Red
Sea. God opened the Red Sea, saved
the Israelites, but killed the Pharaoh and his army.
And you see this pillar of fire by night and pillar of cloud by
day, guiding them. When it lifts they they travel.
When they, it settles, they set their camp and stay there.
So they have been going around this wilderness, but God was
with them in the wilderness. Everybody say God was with them
in the wilderness. Whatever problem we are going
through, whatever pain we are going through, whatever sickness
you are going through, God is with you in your problem.
He is with you. As you acknowledge that He is
with me, it becomes lighter. You try it, you go on, oh, this
pain, it will become more. You feel more.
The pain may not be more in terms of if you have a
instrument to measure your pain, it may not be more, but because
you are saying it, you feel more pain.
But you say the Lord is with me in this, it will become less.
He is dwelling in you. So release the Holy Spirit, ask
the Holy Spirit, Lord, move from my Spirit to the part where this
pain and command that pain to go in the name of Jesus.
It will go. It will go.
That is how we had to learn to fight.
And on the very day they came to the desert of Sinai, So they
have come to the desert of Sinai.
I mean, the theologians are not very clear about this word
Sinai. What does it mean, where it
comes from and all. So I don't want to go deep into
it, but Saina is a mountain and we see that God commands them to
wash their clothes and get ready for visitation.
God is going to come down on the mountain, going to speak to
them. He says you have to prepare
yourself. How do you prepare yourself?
Three things he said #1 is to wash their bodies.
That means they have to take bath or they have to plunge into
some source of water and get cleaned to wash their clothes. 3
Abstain from intimacy with their spouse men.
This most of the time it is referred to men.
So they have to abstain from intimacy with their wives.
These are the three conditions and 3rd day God is going to come
and meet them. I did lot of thinking about it,
but in the New Testament you do not have that kind of
application now. But there are times when Paul
himself writes, do not avoid intimacy unless both of you
agree for a season of prayer. You want to seek God, say I want
to fasten and pray for three days And you want to tell the
husband tells the wife, OK, I am going to fasten and pray and she
understands there is no intimacy for three days.
Or the wife says I want to fasten and pray.
Husband understand law, it is 3 days, no intimacy, but what he
says is but do not prolong it come together.
So it is one of those things it is like a it is like a oil in a
in a machine. There is friction.
The moving parts are there big machine and if you put oil, what
happens less friction and machine moves good.
So this is one of those things God gives as a lubricating oil
to reduce the friction to bring love, understanding unity.
So I believe that it is one of those blessings of God and now
you do not need to follow like the Old Testament.
I am saying, oh, I am praying now.
So I am not going to be intimate with my wife or the wife says
no, I am praying now. I am not going to be intimate
with my husband. Absolutely rubbish.
Now. Why?
Because it is not God's plan anymore.
It is our bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit.
We have to keep it in holiness and we should always see God and
live in union with Him and does not necessarily mean one of
these things to avoid. I, I see a couple, uh, I have
observed a couple who are allotted to prayer, but I, after
some time the marriage fell off, though it broke.
One of the things I understand is that that lubricating oil is
missing. That is how I understood it.
So we should not, uh, what you call it, some other secular
article I was reading. And in that they said after some
time there will be times when the love will go down.
It is not going to be always burning bread.
When as you get married, you know, there is a lot of love,
lot of emotion. It will not be there after some
time. The pressures will come,
children problems. It is going to hit you very,
very hard. But what that what that this is
secular article. I am telling you it is not about
religious art. It is secular article.
And what the wife says is I do not feel the same way I used to
feel for my husband before and wife or the husband says well, I
I do not feel the same way before.
But this is called the intimacy is called the maintenance dose
It is to maintain the relationship it has to it has to
be done. Try it.
I will say it wherever it is dry, wherever it is dry, you
need to try to improve the marriage.
That is what I'm trying to say. Why?
Because here in the oldest was written, but in the New
Testament it says you agree for a short time, but then to
restore it afterward. And that is good for the
families because you are to live in love and understanding and
grow together. It is one of those things.
And some people, some people say, does the church have
anything to say about marriages? I am saying it today, restore
what needs to be restored so that there is joy in the family
and unity in the family. Cool.
Next thing is we see here if you read the whole chapter 19, Moses
has gone up and down the mountain at least three times.
How many times? Three times.
You see, first time in verse 3, then Moses went up to God and
the Lord called him from the mountain and said this is what
you ought to say to the House of his Jacob.
So when Moses went up to God and the Lord called him from the
mountain, this is not completely going up to the top of the
mountain. No, he just started going
towards the mountain, maybe quarter, quarter away.
And then the voice came from the mountain to Moses.
So when you take one step, even few steps towards God, God takes
that step to speak to you. See, I used to teach doctrine of
God several for many, many years in the camp, student camp.
I would say God is infinite and personal.
But that's all I knew at that time.
But now if I had to teach the doctrine of God, I would say God
is infinite and personal and a God who speaks, you take out the
words, God who speaks. You do not have God of the
Bible. That part personal has
communication itself in it, but I never emphasized it.
That's why I am adding it as a special phrase.
God who speaks, that is the God of the Bible.
Have you heard His voice? If you have not heard his voice,
then something is really missing, very, very important
and missing. So restore, seek Him again what
He is trying to do tell you, tell us today, this morning is
you take few steps, set apart a time, fix time to seek Him, fix,
fix time to pray. And you will see that God takes
the steps to speak to you. And you practice it for three to
six months. And you tell me, if you have not
heard the voice of God, come and talk, talk to me because it will
not fail. He has spoken through
generations to many people He has spoken.
The voice of the Lord comes, but we have to have the discipline
to hear Him and we are going to hear His voice.
And here Moses, he wanted to go up the mountain and God already
speaks. He says OK, OK stop there, go
back. This is what you have to say to
the House of Jacob and what you have to tell the people of
Israel. Jacob and Israel are synonymous.
House of Jacob, House of is there.
It means the same thing. You yourself have seen what I
did to Egypt, how I carried you on the eagles wings and brought
you to myself. Now if you obey me fully and
keep my covenant, then out of all the nations you will be my
treasured possession. Although the whole earth is
mine, you will be for me a Kingdom of priest and a holy
nation. This is the most important
central words of chapter 19. All other things explain that.
So what? What is God saying here is
number one thing he says is, you know what I have done to Egypt?
You know the miracles I have done the 10th place I sent.
You know how I split the sea? You know how my pillar of my
presence went with you? Pillar of cloud by day, pillar
of fire by night. All these things I am telling
you to prove only one point. It is like an eagle that teaches
its carries its young on its wings.
I have brought you from Egypt to Mount Sinai.
Well, wherever you are right now is Mount Sinai for you.
Any number of years you have gone, walked with God.
God says I have brought you up to this point like an eagle
carries its young. What?
What does this mean to you? To me?
Eagles have got a funny way of raising their kids, You know, do
we Do we do that with our kids? I don't know, I don't think so.
But the eagle, when it's hatched, it brings the food,
breaks into pieces, feeds it. But once the young eaglets
become little bigger and the wings are spreading, it knows
the time it disturbs the nest and breaks it down and makes
forces the eagle eaglet to fly. And when it is thrown from up
somewhere, the Cliff is trying to find how to fly.
It is flying below so that in case the eaglet loses balance or
doesn't, cannot fly, has no strength, it's collapsing, it's
falling down, it's going to catch so that it will be on the
back of the eagle. It will carry to safety again.
And then after a day or two, throw from there again.
So that that's how it teaches the young to fly.
Amazing things. I tell you.
If an eagle has enough common sense to do that, how much more
God will do with your life. He will disturb your life.
Everything is going good. Sometimes it happened to me,
everything was going good. But He loses the job.
So at that time it is painful. But God is teaching something.
He is teaching me how to hear His voice.
He is teaching me how to come close to Him.
He is teaching me how to obey Him in spite of the problems.
So that is what His life is all about.
He disturbs the nest. He throws you up from the head
from a height, and then He is flying below to catch you.
And now with all these things, what he is saying is from Egypt
I brought you to Mount Sinai, basically talking about the
experience of being born again. What is it about born again?
He gives you the gospel and after you believe the gospel, He
keeps on helping you to grow. So the process is He brings you
to the mountain. Why you know you have to learn
to hear his voice. That is the second step.
You have to know him in a way that you have not known him
before. That is why he brings you to the
mountain of Sinai. Other thing that had to do a lot
of research was I spent a lot of time in sometimes, you know
going what do you call rabbit holes, chasing the rabbit holes.
So in this desert, how this 2 million people are going to take
bath, how they are going to wash their clothes was their source
of water. Right now when you go there to
Mount Sinai, there is no, no water there, no water there.
But 2500 years ago or 3000 years years ago, there was at least 4,
four sources of water around the mountain, four sources enough
for them to do it. So I said, OK, Bible is right,
Bible is right. So whenever you get a doubt, do
some more research. Then you know that Bible is
right. So that is what it is.
And then what he says is I carried you, I brought you on
eagle's wings and brought you to myself.
He brought them to where? Mount Sinai people can mistake
the place, the job, whatever that you are acquiring, the
person you meet as the object of your journey.
No its not for a boy meeting a girl or for a girl meeting a boy
is not the object, it is only a means of coming to himself.
You need to make God your center of your life.
God said I brought you to myself.
You have to know God. That's your primary objective in
your life, primary goal. That one objective that you have
is to know God and He brings you to Himself.
My question is, have you had this encounter with God?
Have you seen His power? Have you heard His voice?
Have you seen His guidance? And then you have everything to
rejoice about because that is normal Christian life.
When these things are missing, normal Christian life is
missing. We may think we are believers,
we may think we are something, but I tell you we are nothing.
We need to have these things. We need to have the experience
of being born again. We must have the experience of
hearing the voice of God, encounter with the Holy Spirit.
Very, very important, very, very important.
Now he says, now if you obey me fully and keep my covenant, then
out of all nations you will be my treasured position.
Everybody say treasured position.
In the Hebrew it is called Shagullah.
Shagullah Shagullah is a treasure position.
What is the treasure position? It is for some.
It is something for which you work very hard and to obtain it.
It's not something you casually find.
Treasure position is you pursue. Likely you want to buy a house.
You have to work hard, maybe for five years to raise the money
and then you are able to. Pay the deposit and then you go
on making some more money and to pay pay off the mortgage that
becomes your treasure possession or is anything else you want to
buy a field. You are a you are a farmer and
then you want to buy a field that becomes your treasure
possession. You work for it and we possess
it and God says I have worked for you.
I have 4 seen you out of all the nations have chosen you is God
of the whole world. He is God of the whole world,
there is no doubt about it. But for Himself, what He did was
He chose one particular people who are called Hebrews or the
Israelites, and God wanted to choose them to demonstrate to
the world that He is true, that He is a living God, and through
them other nations will know and connect with Him.
In order to purge these people from idolatry and to give them
the revelation of true and living God, He chose a people
and He brought them to Himself. And that is the treasure
position. And Jesus himself, when he was
teaching, He talked about a man who found a Pearl of great value
hidden in the ground. What did he do?
He goes and sells all that he has and crumbs and pays and buys
that land so that he can possess that Pearl of great value or
treasure, hidden treasure, he finds it.
He sells all that he has and he buys the field so he can possess
it. My question is, God has done
that part out of all the 7 billion people.
He has given you the knowledge of salvation so that he can
believe in Jesus and be saved. My question is, do you consider
God as a treasured possession? I hear only one voice.
Can I hear everybody? Yes, that is what it is.
That is when you say God is my treasure position and God says
you are my treasure position. There is a love relationship
between God and you. There is a love relationship and
that relationship will become stronger and stronger every day,
not become weaker. You have to value God.
You have to have respect for God.
You have to appreciate God. You must love God.
You must worship Him. You must praise Him.
That is what Omega is all about. We are here to become a
community of worshiping people. Worship Jesus.
Are we going further or? OK, that's good.
So now he says, what will happen then?
You will be for me a Kingdom of priest and holy nation.
Kingdom of priest and holy nation.
See when God selected this family of Jacob, he had twelve
sons and then one of them was a Levite.
And then through the sons of
Levi you got here Moses and Aaron.
And then God really chooses this particular family so they will
be priests and rest of them they are not.
And he chooses the tribe of Judah so that they can Kingdom
can belong to the tribe of Judah.
Every king that comes and rules over Jerusalem and the southern
Kingdom has has to belong to the tribe of Judah.
But what God is saying is from the beginning this is God's
vision. We try to have a narrow vision,
but God has a broad vision. God's vision is everyone should
be a priest and everyone should be a king.
So if everyone of us are king, are we subject to each other?
We are equals. We are equals.
If everybody is a priest, same situation, you become equals.
Somebody is more, me less, I am more, he is less.
Doesn't work. God's man.
Is that now the same thing you see in the New Testament when
you see first Peter 29, Peter writes.
But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation,
God's special possession. That is the same words used
here. You are a treasured position,
special position that you may declare the praises of him who
called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.
So He is connecting this to salvation.
This experience of Exodus 19 is putting into the words of
salvation for everybody. You are being drawn from
darkness, brought into this wonderful light, marvelous
light, so that you can become a treasured possession, so you can
become a royal priesthood, holy nation.
The very word royal priesthood is a combination of 2 words,
royal and priesthood, your king and a priest, your king and a
priest. But where will you be a king and
a priest? It is to those who don't know
God. You are a priest and you will be
a king. Rule over them by faith.
So in order to be a royal priesthood, we must be able to
stand. What does the priest do?
He mediates between God and people.
Unless you become a prayer warrior, how can you be a priest
unless you stand in the presence of God and say God?
I want to pray for these people, People of Pray Bolton, only 5000
people, 2000 families. I pray for this place now, in
the name of Jesus my father, save these people, utterly,
completely save them. Bring them to the knowledge of
yourself. I pray for the Lincoln area, I
pray for the Christchurch area, I pray for the Canterbury area.
You have to be a priest interceding in the presence of
God. Am I making sense?
Suppose you don't pray. What are you doing?
When you go to the hospital, you
see doctors wearing a white coat.
OK. And if he doesn't wear the white
coat and he walks into the ward, will anybody say you are a
doctor? You are thrown off your coat.
That makes you people, makes you that make people recognize you
as a doctor. You are a priest when you don't
pray. You are like a doctor walking
without a coat. You are a king.
What does a king have? A crown on his head and people
around him. And you are a king.
When you speak a word, it will be carried out.
King doesn't have to tell you please go by means this and
that. Make me lasagna.
He says I want to have lasagna and the servants run around and
do whatever needs to be done and serve him lasagna.
You need to know you are a king. When you speak with your word in
the name of Jesus, that will be carried out by the angels of God
who hear your voice. So now what is happening is you
are, you have pains and things and you have got a sickness.
You have got so many problems in the family, in the job and
finance. Everything is a mess.
You are not working as a king. Am I trying to accuse anybody?
No, we all learn to grow into this.
We had to learn to grow into this.
You had to learn to stand in the presence of God and say a lot of
thank you for choosing me. Thank you for I am your royal
priesthood, holy nation. And now in the name of Jesus, I
speak this thing to happen. I speak blessing over my job.
I speak blessing over my finances.
I speak blessing over my children.
I speak blessing over my health. I speak blessing over my
destiny, my future. You are functioning as a king.
When you don't do it, you are walking like a man without a
crown. I am not accusing anybody.
I have also walked in ignorance. I have grown in the Lord.
Not in a year or two, you know, next year I will be walking with
girl for 50 years. That's not a small time.
So, ah, don't look at me and say this man is trying to tell me
down, put me down. No, I'm not trying to.
I'm encouraging. We have to be living like kings
and priests. That's my purpose, nothing more.
And then so this is the first time Moses goes up the mountain
halfway, comes down, talks to the people, and then he again
goes S Moses went back. He went back a second time and
summoned the elders of the people and said before them all
the words of the Lord had commanded him to speak.
The people all respond together we will do everything the Lord
has said. So Moses brought their answer
back to the Lord. So he goes up the mountain a
second time and then he says, no, no, you go back down.
Tell the people not to come up the mountain.
If they come and touch the base, the foot of the mountain, they
are going to die. They should be put to death.
Moses says you only told, you told already that no man or
animal should come up the mountain, so they are not going
to come. No, no, you go down South.
He has to come down again. And again he says, OK, bring
Aaron, your brother with you up. And they prepared themselves,
wash their big bath in the waters around, wash their
clothes, abstain from intimacy. They're waiting for God to
confront them. And then what happens on the
third day early in the morning, they can feel the earth is
shaking, its like an earthquake and they see loud peaks of
Thunder. And then they look up on the
mountain. The dark cloud came upon it and
the fire was coming down upon the mountain, consuming the top
portions of it. And people all were afraid.
And when Moses spoke to God, God answered back from the mountain.
Where is it written? Verse 19 And the sound of the
trumpet grew louder and louder. Then Moses spoke, and the voice
of God answered him. What an amazing experience.
Now theologists have got a word to explain it.
It's called propositional revelation.
Everybody say propositional revelation.
What is proportional revelation? God speaking to you in your own
language, following the grammar, vocabulary, everything.
He will not speak. If you want to say you want to
eat steak next week, you will not say I ate steak next week.
You have to follow the grammar, isn't it?
God follows the grammar, the vocabulary and speaks to you in
your language. That is proportional revelation.
He knows your language. God spoke to me in English.
God spoke to me in Tamil and English together.
God spoke to me in Telugu recently, spoke to me in
Gujarati. That is not my mother tongue,
that is my wife's language. God speaks in the language that
you know. Oh, how does how is God going to
speak to me? How will you speak to you
language that you know? This is amazing.
God, I'm telling you this words proportional revelation is very
important because that's one of the doctrines of the Christian
faith. God speaks using the language
and the grammar of the language that you know.
He speaks to you in the language.
So that is very, very important. And then Moses went up and the
Lord said to him, go down and warn the people.
So this man, 80 plus years of age, going up and down and up
and down the mountain three times, I am glad I am not Moses
because my knees are not strong. Recently when we went to
America, every house had steps to go up.
You either have basement or upstairs and you have to go up
and down. I said give me somewhere in the
middle side, do not have to go up and down because until then I
was going for a walk every day for 5 kilometres and I thought I
was fit, only to realize that when I go to America, my knees
are not strong. I realized it there.
I think God took me there to teach me one lesson.
You have to exercise your knees anyway.
But the point is Moses was strong.
Even at the age of 120 when he had to die, he was strong.
He did not die because of sickness.
He died, did not die because of sickness.
He was physically strong. He said go up the mountain and
you are going to die and I am going to bury in a place no one
will know where you are buried. Why?
Because people will make an idol of it.
They will build something around the tomb and then make it into a
temple and, you know, worship there, offer sacrifice.
No, no, I do not want anybody to do that.
So I am going to bury in a way that nobody will know where you
are buried. So that is how it is.
So verse 24, God, Lord replied, go down and bring Aaron up with
you. So are you God's treasure?
Possession? Yes.
Has he carried you on eagle's wings?
Has he been your healer? Has he done miracles for you?
What more you want? What more do you want?
I'm telling you I have so much of notes here, 3 pages, but I'm
just beginning my message now. The whole question that comes to
is and when God made a covenant with these people, He came down
the mountain and the whole experience is from verse 16 to
verse 19. On the morning of the third day,
there was Thunder and lightning with a thick cloud over the
mountain and a very low trumpet blast.
Who is he? Who is it that is blowing the
trumpet? Not humans?
Is the angels of God blowing the trumpet on the mountain and the
trumpet blast? And then what happened?
Everyone in the camp trembled. Then Moses let the people out of
the camp to meet with God. You are meeting with God.
But Christian experience is all something like this when you
believe in Jesus, this God who is holy, who came on that
mountain and people were afraid when there was a earthquake was
there. But he comes into your life very
silently. That's what John writes in the
in the prologue in chapter one of his gospel, Johns Gospel
chapter 1. The word was in the beating was
the word the word with God. The word was God and the word.
Everything that is great has been created through the Word.
Nothing has been created without the word.
And then he goes on to say the word became flesh and dwelt
among us full of grace and truth.
Now you have on one side this kind of a holy God.
When you look at him, you are afraid of him.
He comes in thick cloud and then fire, low trumpet blast,
earthquake. We need that experience to put
some kind of fear I've got in our heart.
But unfortunately he doesn't do that with us.
He comes very quietly because we are in a New Testament.
He comes quietly into your heart.
He stands at the door of your heart and knocks.
If you hear my voice, open the door.
I want to come in. I want to eat with you and I
want you to eat with me. And we are sometimes keeping him
waiting for five years, 10 years.
Some of us, we don't want to obey him quickly.
He is a holy God. You cannot play with him.
You cannot live in sin and say I am all right, everything is all
right and keep on living in sin is not the answer, is not the
lifestyle that God expects us. If you fear God, first thing to
do is to stop the sin. Come out of it whatever is, it
costs. Sometimes it costs.
It is not that easy to stop sinning.
It costs and we must be willing to pay the cost if you want to
follow him. That is the reason why Jesus
said he who wants to follow me must take up His cross and walk
daily His cross and daily our cross is when we want to do
God's will. And right now we are not doing
God's will. When you want to do God's will,
that becomes your cross, that becomes your cross, and you have
to deny yourself. That flesh will demand things
from you, and you have to say no to the demands of the flesh.
Take up the cross, walk daily with Him.
That is Christian life. But here you see all these
things. You know Yahweh is Jesus.
I have told you so many times, Yahweh is Jesus.
When you look at Yahweh in the chapter 1919, He is a terrible
God, full of fire, holy, and He cannot accept you and He cannot
just overlook your sin. But again, when it comes to the
New Testament, the same God is so full of love, compassion,
mercy, but judgment is in the future.
He does not judge you immediately.
Just because He does not judge you immediately does not mean
you are. You are accepted and everything
is fine when you deal with sin. What needs to be confessed has
to be confessed. What this should be renounced
has to be renounced and get up and walk with him.
That is very, very important. And then today is actually Day
of Pentecost. Many churches are celebrating
Day of Pentecost coming out the Holy Spirit on the on the
church. The church was born this day,
2000 years ago nearly. I did not want to make that as a
focus because I was deciding. I decided to speak on chapter
19. But chapter 20 is giving of the
law. That is that coincidence with
the dead Pentecost. So next time I preach, I'll be
preaching on chapter 20. So we'll have Pentecost 2 weeks
late. But that is what it is.
We don't go by calendar. That's the reason why I'm not
focusing on it. But we have to come be expected
that what God wants to do in our life through His Word is very,
very important. We need to give supremacy to the
Word. You have to make the Bible the
ultimate rule book and obey it. Because without obedience, I am
telling you, whether you have Old Testament Christian or a
nutrition Christian, it doesn't matter.
There is no Christian in the Old Testament anyway.
So you are, whether Old Testament St. or a New New
Testament St., you must have obedience because that's what he
said. If you obey me, you will be part
of my covenant. You will be my royal priesthood,
holy nation. And what did Jesus say?
I am the one, you are the branch.
And if you obey me, keep my commandments, you will remain in
me, and I will remain in you. And then you will bear fruit,
much fruit in the glory of the Father.
Take out obedience. Whether you belong to Old
Testament or the New Testament does not matter.
We are outside the will of God. And if you want to be within the
will of God, obedience is very central.
OK, I think we should keep away my notes and we will focus on
prayer. Shall we pray?
Father God, we thank you, we praise you with all our heart,
we praise you, for you are a God who speaks to us in our own
language. We worship you, we praise you,
but you are not Stop speaking. Everybody who seeks you can hear
you. And you spoke from the mountain
to Moses and the whole nation. 2 million people heard your voice.
So I pray now that the outcome of our lives will bring the
testimony of our outcome of our lives will bring glory to your
name. Let people know that we are a
people who hear your voice and do your will and let that
testimony bring glory to your name.
I pray for everyone this morning who is here and those will hear
me on online. I pray that your hand will be
upon them and that you will bless them.
That you will cause up to hear your voice and to know your mind
to do your will and raise up a big generation of people who
will be worshipping you and obeying you to the glory of your
name. Thank you for hearing this
prayer. Bless your children this morning
in Jesus mighty name we ask and everyone says Amen.
