Head to our website or Facebook 8 00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:29,520 page through the links below. Shall we shout Hallelujah? 9 00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:35,240 Just want to share with you a few few thoughts from Exodus 10 00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:39,560 chapter 16. Exodus 16 is the place we talk 11 00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:42,840 about. I Lord put this in my heart, but 12 00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:46,440 not necessarily coupling it with Elisha's dedication. 13 00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:48,880 But it's just gels so beautifully. 14 00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:50,480 You know, everything is flowing smooth. 15 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:55,640 It is God or any type believe. So before I go into the message, 16 00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:59,440 I want to share a couple of stories so that we understand 17 00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:06,160 more clearly how God provides and how God sustains, how God 18 00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:12,560 protects, how God leads. There is a lady, I mean a young 19 00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:17,960 girl of 19 years of age. Her name was Gladys Aylward. 20 00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:21,240 Anybody heard that name? Gladys Aylward. 21 00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:26,640 She was a house maid in the north of London. 22 00:01:27,960 --> 00:01:31,320 But when she was going to the church and, you know, in times 23 00:01:31,320 --> 00:01:33,960 of prayer, God put in her heart that she should go as a 24 00:01:33,960 --> 00:01:38,480 missionary to China. And that is in the early 1900s, 25 00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:41,360 travel was not easy. There were no flights. 26 00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:45,040 She had to travel by land, by sea, you know, so many different 27 00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,760 modes of transport. But she did not have. 28 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:52,560 She volunteers and goes to the Missionary Society and says, 29 00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:56,960 please send me to China. So they said, OK, you need to go 30 00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:00,680 through Bible college. So she went into the seminary 31 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:05,960 and she failed the exam. And the lady who was in charge 32 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:10,199 said, Gladys, you cannot go to China because you have failed in 33 00:02:10,199 --> 00:02:14,680 the Bible course. But this lady, she did not give 34 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:17,360 up. She kept on praying and asking 35 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:22,600 God, God, open a door for me. Then there was a request from 36 00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:27,000 one of the missionaries in China that she wanted a helping hand. 37 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:29,680 She put her hand up. Can I go? 38 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:35,200 And before that, she was working as a house maid and trying to 39 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,920 save every penny, every, every pound. 40 00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:42,360 And she would take up extra jobs sowing, you know, anything that 41 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:45,560 she can do to and guest to get an extra pound, she would do it. 42 00:02:45,920 --> 00:02:49,560 So she accumulated some money and then when with great 43 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:53,520 difficulty, when she was offering herself, the people 44 00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,560 said, OK, you can go to China because the lady in China said, 45 00:02:56,560 --> 00:03:01,600 I will take that Lady. And she bought a ticket and was 46 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:04,400 travelling by train. But the train got stuck up in 47 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:08,120 Siberia, in Russia, you know, so many difficulties. 48 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:12,880 But this lady had persisted until she landed in China. 49 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:20,440 She was called the little woman because she was small in stature 50 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:26,240 and because of her love for God and serving the people. 51 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:27,920 People had great respect for her. 52 00:03:27,920 --> 00:03:32,680 She won their respect. And then the Second World War. 53 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:38,640 During that time the Japanese were attacking China and she had 54 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:43,040 undertaken to take care of orphans who are about 100 to 200 55 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:47,280 people, children who during the war they were being deserted. 56 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:50,680 Parents are being killed, so the children will not have anyone to 57 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:52,560 take care. She was taking them under her 58 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:56,480 wings and she heard that the Japanese are going to attack her 59 00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:58,480 village where she is with the children. 60 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:03,280 So she had to run for nearly 100 miles with this hundred children 61 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:08,400 and day and night she she took them through for nearly a week 62 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,200 or so. But when she came to the Yellow 63 00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:17,800 River, she was stuck there, exhausted, no food and no 64 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:20,200 strength. And the children were all 65 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:24,920 asking, Gladys, we are hungry, how can you sustain ourselves 66 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:26,400 here? We are going to die. 67 00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:29,000 She said, Don't worry, Jesus is with us. 68 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,120 He is our food. It's not the physical food that 69 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,040 you eat. But when he is with you, he will 70 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:37,640 give you the strength. And when they were struck by the 71 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:44,480 river, the Chinese naval ship turned up one day when she was 72 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:47,520 ready. It is unusual for a Navy Navy 73 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:51,040 ship to come to that region. And they found the children 74 00:04:51,840 --> 00:04:56,960 famished, weak, exhausted. So they took them into the boat 75 00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:01,280 and gave them food and then helped them cross the river as 76 00:05:01,280 --> 00:05:10,120 well. When we have faith, God will not 77 00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:13,600 abandon us. He is with us. 78 00:05:14,280 --> 00:05:21,040 I tell you my experience that being born in a Hindu family, no 79 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,960 connection with Bible, no connection to prayer, no 80 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:25,680 connection to the knowledge of Jesus Christ. 81 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:29,440 But there were difficult times when I was going through as a 82 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:33,160 child. I know it was Jesus who came to 83 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:34,960 my rescue. Now I know it. 84 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:37,600 So whether you know him, you don't know him. 85 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:42,000 When you see supernaturally A provision coming to you, it is 86 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:45,360 always Jesus. Can you shout Hallelujah? 87 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:54,600 One more story. You all heard the name of George 88 00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:58,120 Mueller. He was from Bristol IN England 89 00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:01,560 again. He ran 5 orphanages, but he 90 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:04,560 never appealed for funds. He never asked for money. 91 00:06:04,840 --> 00:06:07,800 Oh, I am running this orphanage, please, I need money, I need 92 00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:09,360 money. No, he never asked for money. 93 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,720 S there was a time one day when there was number bread, no milk 94 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:17,440 for the children. And he was told in the morning, 95 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:19,680 hmm, there is nothing there to feed the children. 96 00:06:20,280 --> 00:06:22,760 So he went into the Lord's presence and said, prayed Lord, 97 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:25,360 you have not let us down even once anytime. 98 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:30,480 Now we have no bread, no milk, Please provide for the children. 99 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:36,200 And the night before there was a Baker in the city, in the town, 100 00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:40,440 and he was told in the dream you have to bake bread for the 101 00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:43,320 children. So early morning he woke up and 102 00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:47,200 he break some bread and he brought it to the orphanage and 103 00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:51,000 he gave the bread. Then outside the orphanage there 104 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,080 was a van carrying milk that broke down. 105 00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:58,600 How can you orchestrate these things all to happen at the same 106 00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:00,640 time? It's not in human hands. 107 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:05,120 It is only God who can do that. So when the milk van broke down, 108 00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:08,040 they said please use the milk before it gets spoiled. 109 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:13,440 So children had bread and milk. Can we shout Hallelujah? 110 00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:16,400 So this is what I'm talking about. 111 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:20,720 It is living by faith means looking to Jesus, being 112 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:25,320 sustained by Him, being provided for by Him, being guided by him, 113 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:28,640 being led by Him. I tell you, it's an awesome 114 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:34,360 thing to know this Jesus and also to follow him, his great 115 00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:38,560 joy in it. I have made this decision nearly 116 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,560 47 years ago and I don't regret it. 117 00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:46,800 I do not regret it. I know he is a living one and he 118 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:51,640 will not fail. So this particular chapter, 119 00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:59,760 Exodus 16, it talks about God providing, pouring down bread 120 00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:03,440 from heaven. You may say, come on, that 121 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:06,280 Sunday school's children's story is not true. 122 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:09,520 No, it is true. You may say, how do you know it 123 00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:11,880 is true? Because after all this event is 124 00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:18,400 over, Moses told Aaron, collect this heavenly bread mana, put in 125 00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:21,800 a golden jar, and put inside the ark of the Covenant as a 126 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:24,320 testimony to the succeeding generations. 127 00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,600 If it was not true, why would he tell them? 128 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:34,720 It is not mass hypnotism when you are hungry, just somebody 129 00:08:35,039 --> 00:08:36,840 does something and you do not feel hungry anymore. 130 00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:38,440 It is not like that. It is not for a day. 131 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:42,679 They were fed this supernatural food for 40 years as you are 132 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:46,520 wandering in the wilderness every day without fail. 133 00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:52,560 They were provided for by God, and when God intervenes and 134 00:08:52,560 --> 00:08:57,080 provides, it is always abundant. Everybody say abundant. 135 00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:00,480 He does not give you little bit here, little bit there. 136 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:06,880 He gives you abundantly because he is God, because he is God. 137 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:11,120 SI want you to look at this abundance. 138 00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:15,160 How abundant was the provision he made in the wilderness? 139 00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:20,920 I was reading about King Solomon, his daily amount 140 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:24,680 required for him every day, how much he spends on food. 141 00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:32,240 He had 10 head of Auxen stable fed. 142 00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:34,920 That means you have to feed the grain and things like that and 143 00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:39,040 then cut it one day and make meat out of it. 10 heads a day 144 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:43,200 and 20 heads of cattle. There is a grazing on the field 145 00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:47,000 and then you have got sheep and goose and then you have got 146 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:50,760 ghazal and you got Peacocks and you got so many different kinds 147 00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:55,120 of animals which are rare meats and then so many thousands of 148 00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:58,400 kilos a ton or so of the food being cooked. 149 00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:05,760 I sat down and calculated how many people can eat so much of 150 00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,640 food. There were feedings anywhere 151 00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:12,040 between 10,000 to 20,000 people depending on how much they ate. 152 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:18,280 So that is the requirement of a king for one day. 153 00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:22,800 And think about how much bread is required for feeding 2 154 00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:26,520 million people, 2 million people. 155 00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,440 They were each allowed how much to collect. 156 00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:35,200 They had a measure which is, you know, modern day it is equal to 157 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:39,880 1.4 liters per head. If there are five people they 158 00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:43,080 can, they are allowed to have 7-7 measures of it or whatever. 159 00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:45,760 But let's go down to make it simple. 160 00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:51,320 Let's make it only one liter per head. 2 million people. 161 00:10:51,680 --> 00:10:54,120 One liter per head. How many liters you have to 162 00:10:54,120 --> 00:11:03,320 gather every day? 200,000 tons. 200,000 I mean, Oh 163 00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:06,240 yeah, 200 tons. That's a lot. 164 00:11:06,560 --> 00:11:09,480 Imagine the whole crash chase being filled with mana 165 00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:13,360 everywhere you walk. That is how much it was 166 00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:17,920 provided. You know the word of God does 167 00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:21,280 not talk many things. It allows your imagination to 168 00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:25,800 understand. It only says God rain down bread 169 00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:27,920 from heaven but how much did he do? 170 00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:33,840 2 million people have to eat it. So when when these people came 171 00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:36,440 particularly, I want to say one thing here in chapter 16, you 172 00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:41,080 see the whole Israel community set out from Elam and came to 173 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:44,920 the Desert of Sin, which is between Elam and Sinai on the 174 00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:48,680 15th day of the second month after they came out of Egypt. 175 00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:52,240 So they were set free by God from Egypt. 176 00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:56,120 They are set free from slavery. They are walking through now how 177 00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:59,840 long have been, how long they have been coming or traveling 178 00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:04,800 since they were set free. Just four weeks because they are 179 00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:07,280 set free 15th day of the first month. 180 00:12:07,680 --> 00:12:09,400 Now this is the 15th day of the second month. 181 00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:13,720 In this four weeks. What did they see? 182 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:17,000 They saw those 10 plagues, the last plague. 183 00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:21,800 Eldest son of every family died, including animals. 184 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,880 The first born of the animal also died and there was great 185 00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,400 cry in Egypt. They said get now, get away from 186 00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:28,840 here. They set them free. 187 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:32,240 They went and asked for ornaments and silver and gold. 188 00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:36,960 The people of Egypt gave it to them freely, joyfully, because 189 00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:40,160 these people are leaving in one day. 190 00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:42,960 They plundered Egypt, They walked away with the wealth. 191 00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:47,240 All the wealth of Egypt was in the hands of Israel and they 192 00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:51,080 travelled through so much. So much has happened in this 193 00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:53,680 four weeks. The Egyptians came and chased 194 00:12:53,680 --> 00:12:58,360 them and they were stuck by the sea and God opened the way. 195 00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:02,920 Two weeks ago we talked about how God split the Red Sea and 196 00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:06,320 made them walk through the sea. So these are all the mighty, 197 00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:08,680 mighty, mighty miracles. But you know what? 198 00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:13,840 We all humans have got a short term memory. 199 00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:18,160 God can do miracles, but we forget very quickly. 200 00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:22,000 We forget the miracles very quickly. 201 00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:25,800 In four weeks time they forgot this God, how great he is. 202 00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:28,880 And now they started grumbling and murmuring and complaining to 203 00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:33,880 Moses. So that's that's that's what it 204 00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:35,800 is. We have a very short memory. 205 00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:40,040 So what happens here is in the desert, the whole community 206 00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:43,400 grumbled against Moses and Aaron was three. 207 00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:47,680 Israel said to them, if only we had died by the Lord's hand in 208 00:13:47,680 --> 00:13:53,280 Egypt, what does it mean if only God killed us in Egypt? 209 00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:56,480 What they are trying to say they said it is enough. 210 00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:59,960 We do not like this walking by faith. 211 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,800 We do not like this God leading us through desert. 212 00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:07,680 We would have been better off if we had died one month ago in the 213 00:14:07,680 --> 00:14:10,320 Egypt. What they are trying to say is 214 00:14:10,560 --> 00:14:14,520 they do not like. I would say they did not 215 00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:16,920 appreciate the freedom they are getting. 216 00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:20,360 They were looking back to the slavery and enjoying the 217 00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:23,920 slavery. They are saying, ah, we were 218 00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:30,240 slaves, but we had food to eat. We had this fish to eat, we had 219 00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:32,320 this pumpkin, we had this vegetables. 220 00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:36,320 We had all the things we wanted that slavery was better than the 221 00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:39,960 freedom. Now, so many times we don't 222 00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:43,760 appreciate the present time when we go through problems. 223 00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:46,080 When you are going through difficulties, we don't 224 00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:49,320 appreciate God at that time. That's the time we need to have 225 00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:51,840 faith. That's the time we need to look 226 00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:56,280 back the mighty miracles God has done until now, and that will 227 00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:59,000 sustain your present. The past will sustain your 228 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:02,120 present. The past experience of God will 229 00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:04,520 sustain you in the present situation that you are going 230 00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:11,000 through the crisis. So they came and cried out to 231 00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:14,760 them. They, they were, they said there 232 00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:17,360 were. We sat around pots of meat and 233 00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:21,040 ate all the food we wanted. But you have brought us out into 234 00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:24,320 this desert to starve this entire assembly to death. 235 00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:30,640 So accusing Moses and Aaron, you brought us here to kill again. 236 00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:35,000 That is misdirected. The complaint is misdirected. 237 00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:39,080 Are Moses, Aaron responsible for their situation? 238 00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:42,000 No, it is God who is brought brought them into the desert 239 00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:46,520 instead of crying out to God. My question is like you are 240 00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:50,000 complaining to God, murmuring against God and God is 241 00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:54,160 graciously providing manner. If you ask him nicely will he 242 00:15:54,160 --> 00:16:01,880 give yes or no? Yes, so many times we ask the 243 00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:08,080 wrong way and sometimes we don't get it also because we asked it 244 00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:10,720 the wrong way. We have to know how to ask God. 245 00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:14,440 We have to know how great He is. And we have to appreciate. 246 00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:17,160 We have to praise Him. We have to thank Him and then 247 00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:18,800 ask Him. You know, we are in the 248 00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:21,080 situation, will you please do something about it? 249 00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:24,640 And He'll be glad to do it because He's a heavenly Father. 250 00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:29,080 He wants to answer your prayer. Can we say it loud? 251 00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:35,160 He wants to answer our prayer. That is the question is how do 252 00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:36,400 we ask him? That is the question. 253 00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:43,680 OK, so for them known slavery was looking better than 254 00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:48,960 uncertain freedom. Slavery is known to them 480 255 00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:51,200 years. There were slaves there 480 256 00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,800 years, and now they are set free. 257 00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:56,200 But they do not appreciate the freedom. 258 00:16:56,680 --> 00:17:00,840 They look back and say slavery was good, bondage was good, 259 00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:04,359 oppression was good. What kind of people are there? 260 00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:13,520 So this expression of this is an expression of unbelief. 261 00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:19,560 I wish I were dead by the hand of God is saying this is an 262 00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:24,160 expression of unbelief and the desire to live disconnected from 263 00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:27,040 God. They wanted to live a life 264 00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:30,040 disconnected from God. I have nothing to do with this 265 00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:31,400 God. I do not want anything to do 266 00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:34,560 with this God. He can be great, He can do 267 00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:36,560 miracles. I don't want anything now 268 00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:39,720 because of my problem now I don't want him. 269 00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:43,360 We become short sighted when we are going through difficulties 270 00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:49,880 and we complain and God says no my son, no, my daughter, I love 271 00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:52,240 you. I will come through this time. 272 00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:58,320 I'll show you my glory, I I I so he, the Lord gave them 273 00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:00,760 instruction. The Lord said to Moses in verse 274 00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:04,760 four, I will rain down bread from heaven for you. 275 00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:10,080 You know, we need to have faith to expect it to happen. 276 00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:14,160 There was a time in a fam, a famine in Israel and during 277 00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:17,720 Elisha's time and there was a guy who was a commander kind of 278 00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:21,880 a position and Elisha, they go to Elisha and say there was no 279 00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:24,560 food there. Basically the city and there was 280 00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:29,480 a lady who killed her son along with the another lady. 281 00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:31,640 They said today we will eat our son, tomorrow we will eat your 282 00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:33,680 son. But the next day the other lady 283 00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:37,000 said no I do not want my son to be killed, but they ate the son 284 00:18:37,360 --> 00:18:40,520 the day before. When king heard about it he said 285 00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:44,440 no, this is not right and then go to elation complain about it. 286 00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:48,560 Elisha said tomorrow by this time this is what is going to 287 00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:51,160 happen, the grain is going to sell for this price. 288 00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:53,320 A donkey said, is going to sell for this price. 289 00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:57,600 And the commander said, even if God opens the windows of heaven 290 00:18:57,600 --> 00:18:59,600 and pours it down, will it happen? 291 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:03,560 And Elijah said, you will see it, but not eat it. 292 00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:07,160 And next day, you know, the miracle happened. 293 00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:12,560 The miracle happened and the people of the city, they rushed 294 00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:16,280 out and raided the camp of the enemies and they splendered it 295 00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:20,560 and and it was selling so cheap, the grain and the donkey and 296 00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:23,680 everything. But when they rushed out, they 297 00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:26,280 trampled down this commander and he died. 298 00:19:27,120 --> 00:19:34,320 He saw it but didn't eat it. So what is the what is that that 299 00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:36,560 is going to help you see a miracle in your life? 300 00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:38,680 How can you see a miracle in your life? 301 00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:42,760 There is no other way than faith in this great God. 302 00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:50,120 Trust Him. When things get hot, trust Him. 303 00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:55,240 When it becomes tight, situation is tight, trust Him, praise Him. 304 00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:57,840 His hand will come through and set you free. 305 00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:05,960 So he said, what did the what? The instructions God gave was 306 00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:08,440 very, very simple. He said to them, I will rain 307 00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:11,560 down bread from heaven for you. The people are to go out each 308 00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:14,040 day and gather enough for the day. 309 00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:17,920 In this way I will test them and see whether they will follow my 310 00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:20,800 instructions. On the 6th day they have to 311 00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:25,080 prepare what they bring in, and that is to be twice as much as 312 00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:28,800 they gather on other days. That means you gather enough for 313 00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:33,440 the day, do not hold it. So next day morning they find 314 00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:37,280 mana and everybody is happy and some of them go out and gather 315 00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:39,800 lots and lots and they keep some. 316 00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:43,520 And next day morning when they wake up, it is smelling very bad 317 00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:47,840 and they have maggots in it, living creatures crawling inside 318 00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:50,120 and they had to throw it out, everything. 319 00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:52,400 And Moses got very angry with them. 320 00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:55,240 Did I not tell you, You have to trust God for next day's 321 00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:56,600 provision. Do not keep it today. 322 00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:03,600 They did not listen. Come 6th day, they go out and 323 00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:05,960 gather. Moreover, on the first day 324 00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:09,080 itself, some people gathered more, some people gathered less. 325 00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:12,480 But when they put it in the Omer, Omer is a major, is 326 00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:15,960 something like 2.4 liters or two liters. 327 00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:18,640 Omer 1.4 liters, sorry, 1.4 liters. 328 00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:23,480 When they pour it into the Omer, the one who gathered more did 329 00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:26,600 not have anything left. The one who gathered less did 330 00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:30,800 not have less, it was full. How do you explain it? 331 00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:36,280 It is beyond logic. Our logic fails when we deal 332 00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:39,920 with God. Our logic does not come to our 333 00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:42,720 rescue to understand when we deal with God. 334 00:21:43,120 --> 00:21:47,760 So it was like that. And on the 6th day Moses told go 335 00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:51,200 and gather double the quantity, double the quantity. 336 00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:58,080 And they did, they cooked it, they kept the food, but it did 337 00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:00,600 not spoil. Next day, no smell, no maggots, 338 00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:07,440 because God wanted to train them to observe Sabbath. 7th day is 339 00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:09,880 holy to the Lord. You shall do no work. 340 00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:12,760 How you will not do work. Even this is work. 341 00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:17,720 I have put a picture on the Facebook, basically. 342 00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:20,320 I don't know whether we have it accessible here to show. 343 00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:27,200 No, they were just busy. You know, you think of it one 344 00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:30,840 liter per head and you had to go and collect it from the ground. 345 00:22:31,360 --> 00:22:33,400 It is going to be hard work, not easy work. 346 00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:36,600 And that's enough. Let's say the six members in the 347 00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:38,680 family, you have to get 6 liters of it. 348 00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:42,680 It's going to be work. And after you gather it, you can 349 00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:46,920 bake it, you can boil it, do whatever you like with that. 350 00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:51,960 Sometimes when you go to buy potatoes in the market, there 351 00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:56,640 will be tick, tick, tick, baked, tick, you know, boiled tick, so 352 00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:59,040 many things sticks. Then you say, ah, Agria, that is 353 00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:01,520 a good one. Van Rosa, that is a good one. 354 00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:06,760 But here is mana that fits. Anything you do to eat, anything 355 00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:09,360 you do to eat, you bake it, you boil it, you do whatever you 356 00:23:09,360 --> 00:23:14,880 like. And it was good and it was 357 00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:20,760 described as look like coriander, but made with made of 358 00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:25,200 wafers and honey. It tasted like wafers and honey, 359 00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:27,560 but you can bake it, you can do whatever you like. 360 00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:30,760 It was amazing. I am telling you because of this 361 00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:33,320 food. This food is a food of angels, 362 00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:37,880 basically angels in heaven. They feed on mana and God fed 363 00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:41,960 his people with mana. Now when you look into the 364 00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:45,560 Hebrew language mana, you do not have a big thing. 365 00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:52,720 You just have like 2 consonants main and noon ma, M&N. 366 00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:56,880 But the Israelites when they look at M&N, they can read it as 367 00:23:56,880 --> 00:24:00,040 mana. So the vowels are not supplied 368 00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:03,120 when you write it, but those who know the language know what to 369 00:24:03,120 --> 00:24:04,720 say when they look at the consonants. 370 00:24:05,120 --> 00:24:08,000 So mame and noon are the 2 consonants. 371 00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:15,040 Meme stands for number 40 in Hebrew culture and known stands 372 00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:18,520 for 50. So what does meme stand for? 373 00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:23,840 4040 stands for testing for this stands for wilderness experience 374 00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:28,000 for this stands for going through difficult times and 50 375 00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:32,440 is the year of jubilee when slaves are set free you your 376 00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:35,760 debt is cancelled and you which has walk into freedom. 377 00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:42,400 So manner is a symbolic of both experiences God testing us. 378 00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:51,160 Secondly, God setting us free both is much more I had done 379 00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:56,000 about this one whole day I was stuck on meditating just on meme 380 00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:58,520 the Hebrew letter. I am not going to say all that 381 00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:01,760 now because our time will not be enough for that. 382 00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:07,520 Next thing that we see here is this manner. 383 00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:11,160 Why we are studying about this manner is there was another 384 00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:18,480 person who came along after nearly 1500 years and he said I 385 00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:21,400 am the bread of life. Who is that? 386 00:25:22,360 --> 00:25:25,840 Jesus? That's why we need to study. 387 00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:30,000 So Jesus said I am the bread of life. 388 00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:41,680 And how did he do that? He basically multiplied the 389 00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:44,720 bread in John chapter 6. You see in the miracle that 390 00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:50,440 Jesus did was he had five loaves of bread and two fish that from 391 00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:54,800 a small boy and there are 5000 men and women and children. 392 00:25:55,360 --> 00:25:57,920 So if you put them together, I believe it should be at least 393 00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:01,560 10,000 people. And Jesus says give them 394 00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:05,520 something to eat. And the disciples said, ah, even 395 00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:11,280 if we get so much of money, one years of ages, can we any, 396 00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:14,800 everybody get a bite? Just a bite, No. 397 00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:17,680 And we are in the wilderness. This is a mountain area. 398 00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:20,240 Where will we go and buy, bring this bread? 399 00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:25,120 And Jesus said, make them sit in 50s and hundreds. 400 00:26:25,120 --> 00:26:27,480 So they all were spread out on the mountainside. 401 00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:31,480 And then he took the bread and the fish, he looked up to 402 00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:34,920 heaven, blessed it and gave to the disciples. 403 00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:36,480 And the disciples gave to the people. 404 00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:41,480 Everybody ate that day. Everybody ate stomach full. 405 00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:46,000 They was satiated, they were filled up until that they ate. 406 00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:48,000 And then they start looking for Him. 407 00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:51,920 Next day he left the place, went to some other place. 408 00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:53,720 They came looking for him and found him. 409 00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:56,800 Oh, where did you come here? Jesus said to them, You are 410 00:26:56,800 --> 00:27:00,600 looking for me because you ate stomach full yesterday. 411 00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:05,920 You do not seek God for a miracle. 412 00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:12,440 You seek God for who he is. And they did not seek Jesus 413 00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:14,640 because they want to appreciate him. 414 00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:18,240 They did not seek Jesus because they want to say you are our 415 00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:20,560 Savior, you are our God, you are our king. 416 00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:25,360 No, their stomach was filled by the bread and the fish and they 417 00:27:25,360 --> 00:27:28,360 wanted more of it, and therefore they followed him, looking for 418 00:27:28,360 --> 00:27:29,840 him. I said no, no, no, no. 419 00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:31,280 That's the wrong way to do things. 420 00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:34,560 Christians can do the same thing. 421 00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:38,120 We can seek God for miracles. We can seek God for answers to 422 00:27:38,120 --> 00:27:40,400 our problems, but that is how we are built. 423 00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:44,760 I'm telling you, we are built to know this God and connect with 424 00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:48,760 him through our need. He said show me a man who 425 00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:52,480 doesn't have a need. I was reading about somebody by 426 00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:55,400 name Rockefeller. Rockefeller, He became a 427 00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:59,160 billionaire when he was 30 or 31 years of age. 428 00:27:59,880 --> 00:28:02,720 That is long time ago, when billion was something 429 00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:05,600 unimaginable. Today that wealth is equal to 430 00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:11,320 238 billion. But when he was 50 or 51, he was 431 00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:15,800 going down downhill. Health was fit and he was not 432 00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:19,560 able to eat anything except soup and something vegetables. 433 00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:25,280 And one day, after one year of suffering, he realized that all 434 00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:29,720 the wealth cannot help him. And he was a Christian too, and 435 00:28:30,360 --> 00:28:33,640 I think the Lord spoke to him to do something with the wealth. 436 00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:36,560 So he started the Rockefeller Foundation. 437 00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:41,640 He started donating money, and because of that, penicillin was 438 00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:46,240 discovered because of his generosity and many people who 439 00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:49,640 are held helped and so much good has come out of it. 440 00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:53,280 But after one year, what he discovered was that his health 441 00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:55,800 started improving when he started giving away the money 442 00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:58,920 and he lived for another 44 years. 443 00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:06,600 What am I trying to say here? You see God not to benefit, just 444 00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:13,080 you see God for His glory. There is a plan and a purpose 445 00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:16,760 God has for your life. Ask him, what do you want to do 446 00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:19,400 with my life? I give my life into your hands. 447 00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:21,960 And you will be blessed for doing that. 448 00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:31,040 You'll be blessed for doing it. So here we have the story and as 449 00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:34,280 we were listening, the people asked Jesus what is the question 450 00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:38,080 they asked in 620 John 628. They asked him, what must we do 451 00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:40,680 to do the works of God, works God requires. 452 00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:44,000 Jesus answered. The work of God is this to 453 00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:48,160 believe in the one he has sent. That's your work. 454 00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:55,280 It is not to climb this port hills, not to go up the Alps or 455 00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:58,840 Mount Everest. It is to believe in Jesus. 456 00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:03,320 That is the work you do. And when you believe in him, you 457 00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:08,200 find fulfillment in your life. Meaning, purpose. 458 00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:18,150 Everything comes by that faith. You know when when Jesus speaks, 459 00:30:18,950 --> 00:30:20,870 people always respond in a positive way. 460 00:30:20,990 --> 00:30:24,590 So when he was talking about the heavenly bread, they said give 461 00:30:24,670 --> 00:30:31,120 us this bread every day. Then he says I am the bread of 462 00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:35,480 life. Bread is not an object outside 463 00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:38,680 of you, it is in Jesus. He is the bread of life. 464 00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:43,280 If you learn to feed on him, you, he will sustain you because 465 00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:48,880 of your faith. Gladys Aleward, He told the 466 00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:53,600 children, Jesus is our bread, He is everything to us. 467 00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:57,200 And what happened? Did they find help when they 468 00:30:57,200 --> 00:31:00,000 needed it? Very interestingly, Gladys 469 00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:02,120 became sick after crossing the river. 470 00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:06,680 She had no strength, she was dehydrated, and she needed help 471 00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:10,400 herself. But she helped those hundred 472 00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:15,120 children sustain through the wilderness for a week, no food, 473 00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:18,120 no water, and they were just struggling. 474 00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:21,720 But God came through and saved those 100 people because of 475 00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:24,400 faith. Because of faith. 476 00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:27,320 And we can experience this Jesus. 477 00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:30,680 I am telling you as one who has come from another faith. 478 00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:34,200 I am not born in a Christian family. 479 00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:37,520 I was born a Hindu worshipping idols. 480 00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:40,960 But at the age of 16 I heard about Jesus. 481 00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:44,360 And I said to Jesus, only one thing I want to know. 482 00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:45,880 I hear that you are a living God. 483 00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:50,040 All the gods in Hinduism are dead, but you are a living God. 484 00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:53,640 Prove yourself living God. In my life there was a one 485 00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:56,440 sentence. I prayed and my life turned from 486 00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:58,800 there. And after 47 years, I stand 487 00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:01,320 before you to say that He is a living God. 488 00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:08,720 I have no regret. You make that step of faith and 489 00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:12,480 He will not fail you. You make the step of faith, He 490 00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:16,800 will not fail you. And he talked to a lady by 491 00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:19,520 Samaritan woman at the well. Give me some water to drink. 492 00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:22,040 He has a long conversation. But after all, she said you 493 00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:24,280 don't have a rope, you don't have a bucket, how are you going 494 00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:26,880 to give me? He said if you know who is it 495 00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:30,480 that is asking you for water, you will ask Him and He will 496 00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:34,400 give you reverse, allowing water to flow out of your belly. 497 00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:35,880 It becomes like a well within you. 498 00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:40,160 She said give me this water so that I do not have to come here 499 00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:42,200 every day. Was it physical? 500 00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:44,880 No, she still did not understand. 501 00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:50,840 Believing in Jesus is He is our food, He is our drink. 502 00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:54,160 All that you need is food and drink, bread and water. 503 00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:57,680 He is both. He will sustain you if you have 504 00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:00,800 faith in Him. You know the more I think about 505 00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:04,960 Jesus every day, my appreciation for Jesus increases. 506 00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:11,480 I tell you, after 40 plus years of believing in Him, every day 507 00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:13,880 is a new day. Every day I look at His face is 508 00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:16,400 something new I hear about Him, something new. 509 00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:21,120 I learn about Him and my heart rejoices because He is such a 510 00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:26,200 loving God. He gives keeps revelation all 511 00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:27,520 the time. Your understanding keeps 512 00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:30,760 increasing and you can never exhaust him. 513 00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:33,560 One lifetime is not enough to understand Him. 514 00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:38,800 So mana must be collected daily. We must avoid in Jesus daily. 515 00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:41,680 That is the parallel that we have as they depended on mana 516 00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:43,480 every day. We have to depend on Jesus every 517 00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:45,560 day. You have to feed on Him every 518 00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:49,920 day. Then the word mana that we have 519 00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:53,440 in English, in Hebrew it is man who? 520 00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:59,760 Everybody say man who? So I told you about maim and 521 00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:04,040 noon already. So that's man who, because when 522 00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:07,800 they saw the bread flex of it on the ground, they saw it and 523 00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:11,199 said, what is it? In Hebrew it means man who? 524 00:34:12,679 --> 00:34:16,159 And Moses said, that is the bread that God has rained down 525 00:34:16,159 --> 00:34:20,159 from heaven for you. So ever since he's been known as 526 00:34:20,159 --> 00:34:25,880 man who or in English translation mana manna is the 527 00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:27,960 heavenly bread reign known from heaven. 528 00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:31,920 But it has puzzled the people who received it. 529 00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:36,120 So are the people in the 1st century puzzled when they saw 530 00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:38,960 Jesus? Jesus said I am the bread of 531 00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:41,080 life. They said what is he saying? 532 00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:46,800 What is he saying? Is he not the son of Joseph and 533 00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:48,560 Mary? Don't you know his brothers and 534 00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:50,480 sisters? How can he say he is the bread 535 00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:54,719 come from heaven? When you hear about Jesus, it 536 00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:58,000 puzzles you. It will upset you sometimes, 537 00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:01,360 will disturb you. But I tell you, the only way you 538 00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:06,320 understand Jesus is by faith. You cannot rationalize Him. 539 00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:09,360 You cannot put him in a box, you cannot analyze him. 540 00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:10,680 You cannot put him in a test tube. 541 00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:15,080 He is beyond our inquiry. He is God, He is outside this 542 00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:18,880 world, yet he invaded the world and he wants to invade our own 543 00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:21,960 life, our world, by stepping into our life. 544 00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:24,440 But we need to say come into my heart. 545 00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:30,240 When we do that, you receive real bread, real drink. 546 00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:38,280 I'm not even halfway through, but I'll tell you some clues so 547 00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:40,040 you can go home and pursue this topic. 548 00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:43,160 There are three places man has discussed. 549 00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:50,120 One is Exodus chapter 16. The 2nd place that you see man 550 00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:53,560 are discussed in John chapter 6 in the gospel. 551 00:35:54,720 --> 00:35:58,120 And the third place is 1 Corinthians chapter 10. 552 00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:02,200 There are some warnings given. Whatever happened to Israel 553 00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:06,560 happened as an example to us. That's what Paul writes. 554 00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:09,400 Whatever happened that would happen to that example so that 555 00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:12,480 you may learn from this experience, that you may 556 00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:15,120 experience this Jesus as they experience. 557 00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:18,160 Why? Because he says they fed on 558 00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:21,280 this. They fed by the supernatural 559 00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:25,480 food and supernatural drink. The rock that followed them was 560 00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:28,800 Jesus Christ. They drank from the rock that 561 00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:31,480 followed him, followed them. That is Jesus Christ. 562 00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:34,840 That is the that is the time when I was thinking about it, I 563 00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:39,920 said, oh, even when I did not know him, He was my bread, He 564 00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:46,760 was my drink. I tell you how refreshing it is 565 00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:51,920 to think thoughts of Jesus. It puts New Hope, it puts new 566 00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:54,640 power in your heart. So I leave it there. 567 00:36:56,280 --> 00:36:59,760 Basically in that one course, chapter 10, it says don't be 568 00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:02,360 idolaters. We should not commit sexual 569 00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:05,840 immorality, we should not test Christ, do not gramble. 570 00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:07,560 They all had negative consequences. 571 00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:09,480 All these actions, they had negative consequences. 572 00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:13,800 But when you have faith, you are delivered, you're fed, you're 573 00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:16,480 provided for, you're guided, you're protected. 574 00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:21,640 And that can happen by faith, only by faith. 575 00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:26,680 There's no other way. So what I want to do now is 576 00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:30,080 this. Jesus said I am the bread. 577 00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:36,160 So we are going to feed by faith and partake in the communion. 578 00:37:36,160 --> 00:37:39,080 The communion stands for his, His body and the blood. 579 00:37:40,240 --> 00:37:44,560 That's the food and drink. That bread that we eat 580 00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:50,160 represents his body and the juice we have represents His 581 00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:52,880 blood. That is the water the Israel 582 00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:56,920 drank from the rock. The rock is split so that they 583 00:37:56,920 --> 00:37:59,760 can be. Their thirst can be satisfied. 584 00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:02,240 So we need to feed on His body and the blood. 585 00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:04,840 That is what we do when we partake in the communion. 586 00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:09,920 And when you have the communion, whatever you ask, your prayer is 587 00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:12,120 going to be answered. You ask for healing. 588 00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:14,240 Jesus, I eat your body and drink your blood. 589 00:38:14,240 --> 00:38:16,280 Heal me. Now you will receive your 590 00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:19,480 healing and whatever is troubling you that is going to 591 00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:22,600 be removed because He will put His finger and remove the 592 00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:27,320 problem in your life. So let us partake in the 593 00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:30,040 communion. Now what we have here, we have a 594 00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:32,880 table set here in the front on the right hand side and this one 595 00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:37,200 on the left hand side and we can move out of our chairs. 596 00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:40,640 If you believe in this Jesus and you want to feed on His body and 597 00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:44,600 the blood, you can walk to any of the table and pick up a piece 598 00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:48,640 of bread and pick up a small cup and come back to your seat and 599 00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:51,080 we will partake together. We all will have at the same 600 00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:56,080 time, Thank you Jesus, thank you Lord, I read. 601 00:38:57,640 --> 00:39:04,180 There's a relationship between you and God. 602 00:39:04,180 --> 00:39:09,420 Many of us have come as Christians, that of Egypt, and 603 00:39:09,420 --> 00:39:18,900 we're in the wilderness and God wants to fix what is broken in 604 00:39:19,220 --> 00:39:22,140 our relationship. With Yeah Man Communion. 605 00:39:22,460 --> 00:39:26,260 It's a time where you can make an exchange. 606 00:39:41,180 --> 00:39:44,340 Please feel free to. Walk to the table, pick up a 607 00:39:44,340 --> 00:39:50,020 piece of bread and the grape juice which represents blood. 608 00:39:52,900 --> 00:39:55,460 And when you come back? To your seat we will partake 609 00:39:55,460 --> 00:40:11,180 together after prayer.
