Hebrews 11, Exodus 5
Music: Harvest Worship Band
Prior to knowing Jesus Christ, we are under the power of the devil and held captive by him.
The devil is a liar and he ripped us off. He makes us think he doesn't exist.
Accepting Jesus is the greatest event in our lives.
It has been said "Conversion has made our hearts a battlefield."
Faith and fear can not coexist.
Hebrews 11:27 ESV
[27] By faith he left Egypt, not being afraid of the anger of the king, for he endured as seeing him who is invisible.
Because Moses had faith, he did not have fear. Moses kept his eyes on God.
Exodus 5:1-3 ESV
[1] Afterward Moses and Aaron went and said to Pharaoh, "Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, 'Let my people go, that they may hold a feast to me in the wilderness.'" [2] But Pharaoh said, "Who is the LORD, that I should obey his voice and let Israel go? I do not know the LORD, and moreover, I will not let Israel go." [3] Then they said, "The God of the Hebrews has met with us. Please let us go a three days' journey into the wilderness that we may sacrifice to the LORD our God, lest he fall upon us with pestilence or with the sword."
Moses confronted Pharaoh, let my people go.
Ever think you are doing the will of God and all the doors shut in your face?
Moses does not backdown!
Exodus 7:10-13 ESV
[10] So Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and did just as the LORD commanded. Aaron cast down his staff before Pharaoh and his servants, and it became a serpent. [11] Then Pharaoh summoned the wise men and the sorcerers, and they, the magicians of Egypt, also did the same by their secret arts. [12] For each man cast down his staff, and they became serpents. But Aaron's staff swallowed up their staffs. [13] Still Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he would not listen to them, as the LORD had said.
God brings 10 judgments against the Egyptians.
Satan is not the equal of God. He is powerful but no where close to God.
One of the devils most effective tactics is imitation.
Just because someone says they are Christian does not mean they are. We can only see their actions, not their heart.
Whoever said sin made sense?
Bottom-line: Sin makes you stupid.
Plague 1: Nile turns to blood.
The Nile river was regarded as a God to the Egyptian people.
Anything that replaces God in your life can be considered a God to you.
Exodus 7:23 ESV
[23] Pharaoh turned and went into his house, and he did not take even this to heart.
Plague 2: Frogs
Exodus 8:1-4 ESV
[1] Then the LORD said to Moses, "Go in to Pharaoh and say to him, 'Thus says the LORD, "Let my people go, that they may serve me. [2] But if you refuse to let them go, behold, I will plague all your country with frogs. [3] The Nile shall swarm with frogs that shall come up into your house and into your bedroom and on your bed and into the houses of your servants and your people, and into your ovens and your kneading bowls. [4] The frogs shall come up on you and on your people and on all your servants."'"
Egyptians worshipped frogs.
When the frogs were dead, the land stank.
Pharaoh hardened his heart.
Exodus 8:15 ESV
[15] But when Pharaoh saw that there was a respite, he hardened his heart and would not listen to them, as the LORD had said.
Exodus 10:1 ESV
[1] Then the LORD said to Moses, "Go in to Pharaoh, for I have hardened his heart and the heart of his servants, that I may show these signs of mine among them,
After Pharaoh kept hardening his heart, God then strengthened Pharaoh in hardening his heart.
Even when people see miracles they won't believe.
Our sign to the lost world is that Jesus died and came back to life.
How does one get a hardened heart? The continual exposure to the word of God and rejecting it over and over again.
The same sun that softens the wax, hardens the clay.
Plague 3: Gnats
Exodus 8:25-28 ESV
[25] Then Pharaoh called Moses and Aaron and said, "Go, sacrifice to your God within the land." [26] But Moses said, "It would not be right to do so, for the offerings we shall sacrifice to the LORD our God are an abomination to the Egyptians. If we sacrifice offerings abominable to the Egyptians before their eyes, will they not stone us? [27] We must go three days' journey into the wilderness and sacrifice to the LORD our God as he tells us." [28] So Pharaoh said, "I will let you go to sacrifice to the LORD your God in the wilderness; only you must not go very far away. Plead for me."
Pharaoh was trying to get Moses to compromise.
Compromise never works.
2 Corinthians 6:14-15 NLT
[14] Don't team up with those who are unbelievers. How can righteousness be a partner with wickedness? How can light live with darkness? [15] What harmony can there be between Christ and the devil? How can a believer be a partner with an unbeliever?
Exodus 10:10-11 NKJV
[10] Then he said to them, "The LORD had better be with you when I let you and your little ones go! Beware, for evil is ahead of you. [11] Not so! Go now, you who are men, and serve the LORD, for that is what you desired." And they were driven out from Pharaoh's presence.
Did you know the devil wants your kids?
He can't have them if you raise your children up in the way of the Lord.
Drawing your kids to Christ, requires that they see your life modeled in the way of the Lord.
Learning and Sharing. In April 2013 my life greatly transformed as I finally submitted to Jesus Christ and began to follow Him. While I was taking notes, God was working on me and I have been blessed by Him ever since. This blog is all the notes that I have saved. I am adding more weekly as I grow closer to Jesus Christ. I thank all the pastors and teachers that have provided me the information. I hope that my notes can be a blessing for others. God bless you all and please enjoy!
