5:45>> Okay, y'all. We We have a lot to read.

5:52We do. We got to get through these these

5:54last plagues, the intense plagues. We

5:57got to get through these. So, um, we got

5:59about three chapters that we're about to

6:01read. So, [clears throat] we're going we

6:02going to get started, y'all. We ain't

6:04going to talk. We going to take a long

6:05time today. So, we got to get through it

6:06today. The next time we meet.

6:10Yeah. The Bible study starts later than

6:12Zoom.

6:14Yes. Yes. Oh, no. The Bible. So, No, no,

6:16no. I'm sorry.

6:18The worship starts at 6:00 p.m. Central

6:21Standard Time. Yeah, the worship starts

6:23at 6:00 p.m. Central Standard Time.

6:26Bible study starts at 6:30 Central

6:29Standard Time. We're on Zoom for worship

6:31because we don't want any copyright, you

6:32know, infringement or anything like

6:34that. Um, so yeah. Yeah, we're going to

6:37get through the rest of the plagues.

6:38We're going to get through the rest of

6:39the plagues. It's important that we do

6:41so. So, I hope y'all are ready to read.

6:43We're about to go through it. We're

6:44going to be in NLT, of course, you all

6:46know. Uh, now y'all know before we even

6:49came into this, if y'all were in

6:51worship, y'all probably saw me already

6:52praying. I was like, "Let me go ahead

6:54and and pray the heavy prayer that I

6:56need to cuz I know we have a lot to read

6:57and I don't want to keep you all up

6:59late." Yes. And so, I know that right

7:02now it is a uh the times that we are in,

7:05it seems very troubling. Um, and it is

7:09intense right now. There is a lot that

7:10has been happening and going on. Um, the

7:14link that you have Nessa, you're in the

7:15Zoom right now. I see you on the Zoom.

7:17This is the link. So, it just starts 30

7:19minutes earlier. So, if you're in the

7:20Zoom right now, then it starts 30

7:22minutes earlier. So, before 6:30, at

7:256:00, we start worship.

7:27>> Okay. So, um that's on the Zoom link.

7:29And of course, if you all

7:30>> on YouTube, it should be in my bio or

7:33under some of my videos. I'll make sure

7:34that I put it there. If it's not, if you

7:36follow me on social media, then you know

7:37it's there. Um but yeah, so you know,

7:40right now is a time where it's been a

7:42lot of a lot of prayer and a lot of

7:46fasting and a lot of worshiping and a

7:48lot of surrendering and we're seeing

7:49like a major number in people who are

7:51dedicating their life to Christ which is

7:53absolutely beautiful which is why I'm

7:55glad that we're talking about the last

7:56plagues cuz we get to talk about Goan.

7:58Um we get to help you all understand

8:01what Goan is more than just the physical

8:03location of itself. Uh if you all are in

8:06study, I encourage you to get a Bible,

8:08which the majority of the Bibles should

8:10have. I think some of the translations

8:12may not have uh maps in them, but I

8:14encourage you all to get Bibles that

8:16have maps in them. Um especially while

8:19we're in Exodus and when we go through

8:20Genesis and Joshua. We want you all to

8:24have Bibles that have maps. If not, they

8:27have maps online that you can purchase

8:29as well on Amazon. They're like 10

8:31bucks. Um, my NLT Bible has um a map in

8:36it and my King James version for sure

8:41has a map in it. I don't know if my new

8:43my new King James version as well has a

8:46map in it also. Um, this is my King

8:49James version and it has a map in it,

8:51but I prefer uh NLT. I prefer this NLT

8:55specifically because it has the map

8:57where we'll actually be showing the

8:59pathway of Exodus and we'll get to show

9:01you all where they were and the

9:03significance of each location. Y'all,

9:04this is not just a Bible study where we

9:06come in and just preach the word of God.

9:08This is a lot more like we're actually

9:09studying. And I think it's I know it's

9:11important for y'all to understand. So,

9:13if y'all ever look and say, "I don't

9:14understand these names and locations,"

9:16y'all will as we go and grow deeper into

9:19our studies. Okay. Does everybody have

9:20their physical Bible? For starts, let's

9:23go ahead and get into that. Everyone has

9:24their physical Bibles, correct? Yes. Say

9:26amen if you have your physical Bible.

9:27Y'all know how I am. Y'all know I don't

9:28play about the physical Bible. Y'all

9:31know we don't we don't got to go through

9:32that today, right? We don't got to go

9:33through that today, right? We just We

9:35just

9:37[laughter]

9:38know what it is, right? We We keep that

9:40thing on us, right? We keep that thing

9:42on us. Y'all know how I am. [laughter]

9:46>> Yes. Y'all know what it is. We keep that

9:48thing on us, right? Uhhuh. Uhhuh. This

9:52the only this the only thing we need to

9:54fight our battles. We just need God to

9:55fight our battles. You know, you know,

9:57we keep that thing on us. And we keep

9:59them other things on us, too. Y'all know

10:04>> we got Okay.

10:06>> And

10:06>> yeah, we keep those things on us. All

10:08right.

10:09>> And

10:10>> All right. So, um, so yeah, we're going

10:13to go ahead and go into prayer. Go ahead

10:15and get started. Um,

10:18let me see before we even get started.

10:20Let me see. Uh title is protected in

10:23goan. Protected in goan. G o s h e n. It

10:28is a capital g. Okay, we're going to

10:30break that all the way down. Protected

10:32in goan. Very simple title today. Very

10:35deep study, but a very simple title.

10:37[laughter]

10:38Very simple title. And we're going to

10:40read uh Exodus 8 verse 20 through Exodus

10:4611 10. We're going to be reading a

10:49little bit y'all. then we'll be in

10:51chapter 12. Um, before we get started

10:54with that as well, let me go ahead and

10:56highlight that because I know that a lot

10:59of people are new to Bible study. I'm

11:00sorry I didn't ask. Go ONE. Do I have

11:04any people who are new to Bible study?

11:08Trust me, you're not the only male on

11:10here. I see you and I thank you. You're

11:12not the only male on here. The men just

11:14be quiet. They be here though.

11:16>> They be tagging me in the stories. They

11:21but trust me, they're here. So, I see a

11:24lot of new people. Good. Good.

11:26Absolutely. Glory to God. Glory to God.

11:28I love that. I love that. Uh, anybody

11:30who is returning, I see some names

11:33already. I know I know some of y'all

11:34been in this thing with me. Yeah, I know

11:37y'all have

11:38it, right? [laughter]

11:41>> Welcome back.

11:43>> I love it. Are you all [clears throat]

11:45Are you all going to boo? Do you all

11:48feel like you're growing spiritually? Do

11:49you all feel like you're better

11:50understanding the Bible? Are you all

11:52learning something? Okay, because that's

11:55my biggest thing. I just want to make

11:56sure that you all are learning. Okay.

11:59Yeah. Okay. So, we'll be in Exodus.

12:02Sorry about that y'all. Exodus 8

12:05>> verse 20

12:08>> through Exodus 11 10.

12:12It is the plague of the flies. sister

12:15flies all the way to the the firstborn,

12:17the death of the firstborn, right? All

12:19the way up to the the death of the

12:20firstborn will be ready. Okay, good.

12:22Y'all are learning. Absolutely. I love

12:24that. Still thinking about Isaiah 43.

12:26Good. Because we gonna be going back to

12:28that a number of times. Okay.

12:29>> Yeah. [laughter]

12:31>> All right. So, uh, we'll get ready to

12:34read that. Everyone has their Bibles.

12:36Um, that's what I was getting ready to

12:38say. And then Bev, I'm going to let you.

12:39You going to do a quick short prayer? I

12:41covered us heavy before, so it doesn't

12:42have to be anything major. Yeah,

12:44absolutely.

12:46>> Um, so I know a lot of people, um, I

12:50don't know how you all were taught how

12:52to study the word of God. Uh, I have my

12:54own way of studying the word of God. So,

12:56I don't know what you all were taught,

12:58but I'm not the person who's going to

12:59take you through the full Bible chapter

13:02by chapter, book by book, because there

13:03are a lot of things that you have to go

13:05back in scripture to understand. So,

13:07we're going to get to the first

13:08Passover, which is chapter 12 of Exodus.

13:12And then we're going back to the

13:13beginning of Genesis, all the way

13:15through Genesis. Then we're coming back

13:18to chapter 12 of Exodus. And we're going

13:20to get through Exodus. And then we're

13:22going to make our way to Joshua. Okay?

13:25And y'all will understand when we get

13:26there. And the reason why is because you

13:28need to understand the core themes of

13:29the Bible. You need to understand the

13:31origin. You need to understand God's

13:33nature. Because when we start get to

13:35Numbers and Leviticus and Deuteronomy,

13:37this is where people really get

13:38confused. And then that's when they're

13:40like, "Yeah, I'm done reading the

13:41Bible."

13:43[laughter] And then after we go through

13:44Joshua, we'll go to Luke and then we'll

13:47start really moving. We're just

13:48maneuvering through the Bible and give

13:50you all a timeline because it's a lot of

13:52things you all are really going to have

13:53to understand cuz I don't want to

13:55confuse you all. So, I'm going to make

13:56it really easy. Sound good? Y'all good

13:58with that? Amen. We're good. We're going

14:00to go into prayer and then we're going

14:01to go ahead and get this read on. Let's

14:03get into our study. All right.

14:05>> Amen. Amen.

14:07>> Come on, baby.

14:09>> Yes, Lord. Heavenly Father, we come to

14:11you right now humble just in humility,

14:14thanking you for the breath that you put

14:15in our lungs. Lord, we thank you that we

14:18are able to meet another Tuesday, Lord,

14:20to fellowship and to receive the wisdom

14:23that you have poured into us, Lord. May

14:25it pour out of us and may it touch each

14:27and every one of us in the way that you

14:30want and intended to do. Father, allow

14:32your Holy Spirit to just flow through

14:34each and every household that is under

14:36the sound of my voice, Lord, and just

14:39open up the word, Lord, and allow the

14:41Bible to just come to life like only you

14:45can, Lord. Lord, we love you and we

14:47honor you. We thank you. We worship you.

14:50We praise you, Father. We give you

14:52glory. We give you honor. We give you

14:53praise in the matchless and mighty name

14:56of Jesus. Amen.

15:00>> Amen. Man, we ain't never got through a

15:02a

15:04y'all. Excuse me. Look, we said, look,

15:06we're going to pray. We going to cover

15:07the study beforehand and we going to get

15:09through cuz y'all know we'll go 20, 30

15:11minutes in a prayer. So, we we did good.

15:13>> We read, okay, we did good.

15:16>> Cuz I know some of y'all like, Katie, we

15:18we got to go make dinner. I'm sorry. We

15:19We getting through it. Okay,

15:20>> we gonna get through it for y'all. We

15:22got y'all. We know some of y'all East

15:24Coast time and we know some of y'all out

15:25of the country. So, we got y'all.

15:28>> The shortest we ever did. Don't worry,

15:30we [laughter] prayed in in worship. We f

15:32we covered, y'all. We guarantee it.

15:33Okay.

15:34>> Protected.

15:36>> Protected in Goan. There we go. All

15:38right. So, uh, we're in NLT.

15:41>> Um, y'all should be able to follow us

15:43along even if no matter what translation

15:45you in. I mean, Exodus is pretty easy to

15:47follow. Okay. She said, "I've eaten and

15:49shower." She said, "I came ready."

15:51>> I saw that. Period. She said, "I

15:54>> that part."

15:55>> All right. Uh so [laughter] start off at

15:57uh chapter 8 verse 20. A plague of

16:01flies. This is the fourth plague.

16:05Yes. This is our fourth plague. All

16:06right. And the second cycle uh the

16:10second cycle. Yeah. Of plagues that

16:12you're going to start to see is going to

16:14start to intensify. So y'all are start

16:17to now see that these plagues the first

16:18plagues was like the water turned into

16:21blood and the frogs and the gnats. these

16:24intense plagues, y'all going to start to

16:26see that it's going to start actually

16:28affecting the humans. Like, it's going

16:29to start affecting and putting some harm

16:31towards the humans. Like, the judgment

16:33starts to get worse. Okay? A plague of

16:35flies. Then the Lord told Moses, "Get up

16:37early in the morning and stand in

16:38Pharaoh's way as he goes down to the

16:40river. Say to him, "This is what the

16:41Lord says. Let my people go so they can

16:44worship me. If you refuse, then I will

16:46send swarms of flies on you, your

16:48officials, your people, and all the

16:50houses. The Egyptian homes will be

16:52filled with flies and the ground will be

16:54covered with them. Verse 22. But this

16:57time I will spare the region of Gan

16:59where my people live. How like that.

17:02Highlight verse 22. But this time I will

17:04spare the region of Gan where my people

17:07live. No flies will be found there. Then

17:09you will know that I am the Lord and

17:11that I am present even in the heart of

17:13your land. I will make a clear

17:15distinction between my people and your

17:17people. Highlight that. Highlight verse

17:1923. I will make a clear distinction

17:24between my people and your people. We

17:27are in we're about to f well we're in

17:30chapter 8 verse 23 right now. Okay.

17:34Chapter 8 23 right now. Exodus. Okay. If

17:37you just came in, this miraculous sign

17:39will happen tomorrow. And the Lord did

17:42just as he said. A thick swarm of flies

17:43filled Pharaoh's palace in the houses of

17:45his officials. The whole land of Egypt

17:47was thrown into chaos by the flies. The

17:50whole land of Egypt was thrown into

17:52what? Into chaos

17:56as as we know is going on right now,

17:57right? Okay. By the flies. Pharaoh

18:00called for Moses and Aaron. All right,

18:02go ahead and offer sacrifices to your

18:04God, he said, but do it here in this

18:07land. But Moses replied, that wouldn't

18:09be right. The Egyptians detest the

18:12sacrifices that we offer to the Lord our

18:14God. Look, if we offer our sacrifices

18:17here where the Egyptians can see us,

18:19they will stone us. We must take a 3-day

18:21trip into the wilderness to offer

18:22sacrifices to the Lord our God, just as

18:25he has commanded us. All right, go

18:28ahead, Pharaoh replied. I will let you

18:30go into the wilderness to offer

18:31sacrifices to the Lord your God. But

18:33don't go too far now. Hurry and pray for

18:36me. This is where we start to see

18:38Pharaoh starts to bargain. Okay. Moses

18:41answered, "As soon as I leave you, I

18:43will pray to the Lord, and tomorrow the

18:44swarms of flies will disappear from you

18:45and your officials and all your people.

18:47But I am warning you, Pharaoh. Don't lie

18:49to us again and refuse to let the people

18:51go to sacrifice to the Lord." So Moses

18:53left Pharaoh's palace, sorry, and

18:56pleaded with the Lord to remove all the

18:57flies. And the Lord did as Moses asked,

19:00and caused the swarm of flies to

19:01disappear from Pharaoh, his officials,

19:02and his people. Not a single fly

19:05remained. But Pharaoh again became

19:07stubborn and refused to let the people

19:09go. We're at the plague of livestock

19:11now. Chapter nine. Y'all following me?

19:13Y'all still here? Okay. All right. Go

19:16back to Pharaoh. The Lord commanded

19:18Moses. Tell him this is what the Lord,

19:20the God of the Hebrews, said, "Let my

19:22people go so they can worship me. If you

19:24continue to hold them and refuse to let

19:26them go, the hand of the Lord will

19:27strike all of your livestock, your

19:29horses, donkeys, camels, cles, sheep,

19:32and goats with a deadly plague."

19:36A deadly plague. Y'all see the

19:38intensity? Okay. But the Lord will again

19:41make a distinction between the livestock

19:43of the Israelites and that of the

19:45Egyptians. Highlight that. Highlight

19:47verse four. But the Lord will again make

19:51a distinction. He will draw a line. You

19:54will see a separation between the

19:57livestock of the Israelites and that of

19:59the Egyptians. Not a single one of

20:01Israel's animals will die. The Lord has

20:04already set the time for the plague to

20:05begin. He has declared that he will

20:07strike the land tomorrow. Notice right

20:09here, he said, "I'm not I'm not going to

20:11do it now. I'm going to do it tomorrow."

20:15Warning. The warning came before the

20:17destruction. He gave a warning. And he

20:18also gave them time to repent. Okay? So,

20:21when people say that God is just a

20:22merciful God, I mean a merciless, sorry,

20:24that's merciless

20:26God. He's not. I just wanted to make

20:29sure I highlight that. Okay. He He gives

20:30us time to repent. He gives everyone

20:32time to repent. Let's keep going. Okay.

20:34And the Lord did just as he said. The

20:36next morning, all of the livestock of

20:38the Egyptians died. But the Israelites,

20:42>> the Israelites

20:44>> didn't lose a single animal. Pharaoh

20:48sent his officials to investigate and

20:49they discovered that the Israelites had

20:51not lost a single animal. He sent his

20:53people to go look and say, "Hey, go

20:55check in real quick and tell me if they

20:57lost their animals."

20:59>> Mhm.

21:00Go check over there real quick where the

21:02Israelites are, where God's people are,

21:04and tell me if they lost anything. Come

21:06on now. Y'all better come on and follow

21:07me. Pharaoh's heart remains stubborn,

21:09and he still refused to let the people

21:11go. Now, I read a plague of festering

21:14bulls. Verse 8, chapter 9:8. Then the

21:17Lord said to Moses and Aaron, "Take

21:19handfuls of soup from a brick kiln and

21:22have Moses toss it in the air while

21:24Pharaoh watches. The ashes will spread

21:27like fine dust over the whole land of

21:29Egypt.

21:30The ashes will spread like fine dust

21:33over the whole land

21:36the whole land of Egypt. Mind y'all go

21:38was in Egypt. I just want to make sure

21:40y'all know this. This is going to spread

21:42over the whole land of Egypt. Okay?

21:45Causing festering bulls to break out on

21:47people and animals throughout the land.

21:49So they took soup from a brick kiln and

21:51went and stood before Pharaoh. As

21:53Pharaoh watched, Moses threw the suit in

21:55the air, and bos broke out on people and

21:57animals alike. Even the Egyptians were

21:59unable to stand before Moses because bo

22:01had broken out on them and all the

22:03Egyptians. All the Egyptians.

22:08This spread across all the land of

22:10Egypt. It only affected the Egyptians. I

22:13want to make sure y'all y'all are

22:14catching that. Okay.

22:16>> But the Lord hardened Pharaoh's heart.

22:18And just as the Lord had predicted to

22:19Moses, Pharaoh refused to listen. A

22:22plague of hell. [laughter]

22:24Those maggyptians, like I said the last

22:26time, the magician. [laughter]

22:30A plague of hell. Then the Lord, this is

22:33verse 13. Then the Lord said to Moses,

22:35"Get up early in the morning and stand

22:37before Pharaoh. Tell him this is what

22:39the Lord, the God of the Hebrews, says,

22:41"Let my people go so they can worship

22:43me. If you don't, I will send more

22:45plagues on you and your officials and

22:47your people. Then you will know that

22:49there was no one like me in all the

22:51earth. By now I could have lifted

22:53[clears throat] my hand and struck you

22:54and your people with a plague to wipe

22:56you off the face of the earth. Watch

22:57out. I I could have cleared y'all a long

23:00time ago, but I have spared you for a

23:03purpose

23:05to show you my power and to spread my

23:08fame throughout the earth. I'm going to

23:10show you my power since you got these

23:12oultists and these magicians and

23:15sorcerers who tried to play God. They

23:18tried. I'm going to show you just how

23:20powerful I am. But you still lorded over

23:23my people and refused to let them go. So

23:25tomorrow, not today. Here we go. Giving

23:28them time again. So tomorrow, at this

23:31time, I will send a hell storm more

23:33devastating than any in the history of

23:35Egypt.

23:37Quick, order your livestock and servants

23:40to come in from the fields to find

23:42shelter.

23:44He's giving him a chance, y'all. Any

23:46person or animal left outside will die

23:48when the hell falls. Some of Pharaoh's

23:51officials were afraid because of what

23:52the Lord had said. They quickly brought

23:54their servants and livestock in from the

23:56fields. But those who paid no attention

23:58to the word of the Lord left theirs out

24:00in the open. Then the Lord said to

24:02Moses,

24:04"Sorry,

24:07it's question. Is this storm is this

24:09storm raining hell? A downpour of hell

24:11only?" Oh, no. It's it's going to be

24:13hell and lightning and all of that

24:16thunder. It's going to be a mixture. And

24:18you about to see it in here. Okay. Then

24:20the Lord said to Moses, "Lift your hand

24:22toward the sky so hell may fall on the

24:24people, the livestock, and the plants

24:26throughout the land of Egypt."

24:29So Moses lifted his staff toward the

24:31sky, and the Lord sent thunder and hell,

24:33and lightning flashed toward the earth.

24:35Y'all seen a lightning storm before,

24:37right? Y'all see how how chaotic a

24:39lightning storm is? Listen, just imagine

24:42imagine a lightning storm

24:45>> with hail and thunder from God.

24:49>> Serious one, okay? Strong enough to wipe

24:52people out. Think about that, okay? Just

24:55just think about that. So Moses lifted

24:57his staff toward the sky and the Lord

24:58sent hail and thunder and lightning

25:00flash toward the earth. The Lord sent a

25:02tremendous hail storm against all the

25:04land of Egypt. Never in all the history

25:07of Egypt have there been a storm like

25:09that with such devastating hell and

25:11continuous lightning. It didn't cease.

25:15>> I want y'all to think about continuous

25:16lightning. Like stuff was catching on

25:18fire.

25:19>> Stuff was catching on fire. Okay. It It

25:22did not cease. Okay.

25:26>> It left all of Egypt in ruins. The hell

25:29struck down everything in the open

25:30field. People, animals, and plants

25:31alike. Even the trees were destroyed.

25:34The only place without hell was the

25:37region of Goan. Highlight it. Highlight

25:39verse 26. The only place without hell

25:42was the region of Goan where the people

25:45of Israel lived. Where the chosen people

25:48lived. The only place without hell was

25:52the region of Goan.

25:55Then Pharaoh quickly summoned Moses and

25:57and Aaron. This time I have sinned. He

25:59confessed. The Lord is the righteous one

26:01and my people and I are wrong. Please

26:03beg the Lord to end this terrifying

26:05thunder in hell. We've had enough. I'll

26:08let you go. You don't need to stay any

26:09longer. All right, Moses replied. As

26:12soon as I leave the city, I'll lift my

26:14hands and pray to the Lord. Then the

26:16thunder and hell will stop and you will

26:18know that the earth belongs to the Lord.

26:21But I know that you and your officials

26:22still do not fear the Lord God. All the

26:26flaxs, the barley were ruined with the

26:28hail by the hell because the barley had

26:30formed heads and the flax was budding.

26:32But the wheat and the emberw wheat were

26:34spared because they had not yet sprouted

26:37from the ground. They were still kind of

26:38low. They they weren't visible all that

26:41visible. So Moses left Pharaoh's court

26:43and went out to the city. When he lifted

26:46his hands to the Lord, the thunder and

26:47hell stopped, and the downpour ceased.

26:49But when Pharaoh saw that the rain,

26:51hail, and thunder had stopped, he and

26:53his officials sinned again. And Pharaoh

26:56again became stubborn.

26:59His heart was hardened again. Because

27:02his heart was hard, Pharaoh refused to

27:04let the people leave just as the Lord

27:06had predicted through Moses. Okay? The

27:09Lord said, "I I wiped out everything

27:11that was visible by this hail storm." I

27:14wiped out everything that was visible.

27:16God said, "I'm coming in and tearing up

27:17the economy."

27:19Let me just say that one more time. Just

27:21[clears throat]

27:22make sure we got that. God said, "I'm

27:24I'm coming through and I'mma tear up

27:27Egyptians economy. The very things that

27:31they need, they are filling my judgment.

27:36>> They are filling my judgment. Not only

27:38have you enslaved my people, but you are

27:41serving pagan gods

27:43>> and making sacrifices to pagan gods. So,

27:46I'm I'm coming through and I'm

27:48disrupting your [snorts] economy." Let's

27:51just keep going, y'all. A plague of

27:53locust wiped out everything that was

27:55visible. Well, almost everything. It

27:57left it in ruins and just a couple

27:58things. They only got a little bit of

28:00stuff left. My God.

28:02[snorts and clears throat]

28:02>> Chapter 10. Then the Lord said to Moses,

28:04"Return to Pharaoh and make your demands

28:06again. I have made him and his officials

28:08stubborn. I have made them stubborn now.

28:12I I'm doing it now." First it was

28:15Pharaoh.

28:17I'm making him stubborn now cuz y'all

28:18were playing with me. You were trying to

28:20bargain with me. You thought I was a

28:22joke. Okay. I stopped the things because

28:25Moses prayed and interceded for you.

28:28Okay. Then the Lord said to Moses,

28:30"Return to Pharaoh and make your demands

28:31again. I have made him and his officials

28:33stubborn so I can display my miraculous

28:35signs amongst them. I've also done it so

28:38you can tell your children and

28:39grandchildren about how I made a mockery

28:42of the Egyptians and about the signs I

28:45displayed among them because they made a

28:46mockery of me by the way, right? Don't

28:48play with God. and so you will know that

28:50I am the Lord. So Moses and Aaron went

28:52to Pharaoh and said, "This is what the

28:54Lord, the God of the [snorts] Hebrews,

28:57says, "How long will you refuse to

28:59submit to me? Let my people go so they

29:01can worship me. If you refuse, watch

29:04out." He said, "Watch out." God said,

29:06"I'm not playing with you." He said,

29:07"Watch out.

29:09Watch out, okay? For tomorrow I will

29:11bring a swarm of locust on your country.

29:13They will cover the land so that you

29:14won't be able to see the ground. They

29:16will devour what little is left of your

29:18crops after the hail stom, including all

29:19of the trees growing in the fields. They

29:21will overrun your palaces and the homes

29:23of your officials and all the houses in

29:25Egypt. Never in the history of Egypt

29:27have your ancestors seen a plague like

29:29this one. And with that, Moses turned

29:32and left Pharaoh. Pharaoh's officials

29:33now came to Pharaoh and appealed to him.

29:35How long will you let this man hold us

29:37hostage?

29:39Let the men go to worship the Lord their

29:41God. Don't you realize that Egypt lies

29:43in ruins? So Moses and Aaron were

29:46brought back to Pharaoh. All right, he

29:47told them, "Go and worship the Lord your

29:50God. But who exactly will be going with

29:52you?" [laughter]

29:54Moses replied, "We all going to go."

29:56What you mean, who all going with me? We

29:58will all go. Okay, young and old, our

30:02sons and daughters, our flocks and

30:03herds, we must all join together in

30:05celebrating the festival to the Lord.

30:07Pharaoh retorted, "The Lord would

30:09certainly need to be with you if I let

30:10you take the little ones." Oh, I can see

30:14through your evil plan. Never. Only the

30:16men may go and worship the Lord since

30:18that is what you requested. And Pharaoh

30:20threw them out of the palace. Then the

30:22Lord said to Moses, "Raise your hand

30:24over the land of Egypt.

30:27Bring on the locust. Let them cover the

30:29land and devour every plant that

30:30survived the hail storm." My God. So

30:33Moses raised his staff over Egypt, and

30:35the Lord caused an east wind to blow

30:37over the land. And all the day and

30:39through the night. When morning arrived,

30:41the east wind had brought the locust.

30:43And a locust swarmed over the whole land

30:45of Egypt, settling in dense swarms.

30:47Thick, y'all. Thick. Probably can't see

30:50nothing through them. Dent swarms from

30:52one end of the country to the other. We

30:54talking about Egypt, y'all. I don't know

30:55if y'all know how big Egypt is, but we

30:57talking about Egypt.

30:59We We talking about Egypt. Remember,

31:01Goan is in Egypt. Okay. Mhm. It was the

31:04worst locust plague in Egyptian history,

31:06and there has never been another one

31:08like it. For the locust covered the

31:09whole country and darkened the land.

31:11They devoured every plant in the fields

31:13and all the fruit on the trees that had

31:14survived the hail storm. Not a single

31:17leaf was left on the trees and plants

31:20throughout the land of Egypt. Pharaoh

31:21quickly summoned Moses and Aaron. I have

31:23sinned against the Lord your God and

31:25against you he confessed. Forgive my sin

31:28just this once and plead with the Lord

31:30your God to take away this debt for me.

31:33So Moses left Pharaoh's court and

31:35pleaded with the Lord. The Lord

31:37responded by shifting the wind and the

31:40strong west wind blew the locust into

31:42the Red Sea. Not a single locust

31:44remained in all the land of Egypt. But

31:46the Lord hardened Pharaoh's heart again.

31:49So he refused to let the people go.

31:51Notice that whenever the Pharaoh

31:53repented, it was partial.

31:56That That was partial repentance. That

31:58wasn't full surrenderance.

32:01>> That was partial repentance. Just let me

32:02repent so I can get something in return.

32:04It wasn't full surrenderance. It was

32:06just enough to get the judgment to stop.

32:09His heart was hardening even more.

32:11That's it.

32:12>> All right. When a plague of darkness,

32:15I know I shouldn't say I shouldn't say I

32:17have a favorite plague, but this is my

32:20favorite plague.

32:21>> That's it.

32:22>> Okay. Then the Lord said to Moses, we're

32:24on verse 21, y'all, of chapter 10, the

32:27plague of darkness. Okay. Then the Lord

32:29said to Moses, "Lift your hand toward

32:30heaven."

32:32Mind y'all, it it was no warning this

32:35time. I just want y'all to know that. I

32:38want y'all to know that after that

32:40partial repentance that Pharaoh tried

32:42with God, it was no warning this time.

32:44He didn't tell Moses to go to Pharaoh.

32:46He didn't give him a message. He said,

32:48Moses, lift your hand towards the

32:50heaven. H he said, lift your hand toward

32:54heaven and the land of Egypt will be

32:56covered with the darkness so thick you

32:58can feel it. An oppressive

33:02an oppressive

33:06an oppressive thick complete darkness

33:12that you can feel it.

33:15You it it's it's so dark that you can

33:17feel it. Can y'all imagine that? My God.

33:20So Moses lifted his hand to the sky in a

33:22deep darkness covered the entire land of

33:24Egypt for three days. During all that

33:26time, the people could not see each

33:28other and no one moved.

33:30H but there was light as usual where the

33:34people of Israel lived where they live

33:37again y'all. There was light

33:40>> for three days while they were sitting

33:42here unable to move because the the

33:44darkness was so thick.

33:48It was so thick just full of despair.

33:52Oppressive

33:55know how they were oppressed. The

33:56Israelites were oppressed for so long.

33:58The Egyptians felt it now in oppressive

34:01darkness. How the tables have turned.

34:04But there was light as usual where the

34:06people of Israel lived, where the chosen

34:08people lived. Finally, Pharaoh called

34:10for Moses. Go and worship the Lord, he

34:12said.

34:14Believe your flocks and herds here. You

34:17may even take your little ones with you.

34:19No. Moses said, you must provide us with

34:22animals for sacrifices and burnt

34:23offerings to the Lord our God. All our

34:25livestock must go with us, too. Not a

34:28hoof can be left behind. We must choose

34:30our sacrifices for the Lord our God from

34:32amongst these animals. And we won't know

34:35how we are to worship the Lord until we

34:37get there. We don't know it, but we

34:39going to be obedient. We don't know how

34:41we supposed to do it, but I know we

34:42supposed to take these animals. Okay.

34:44Okay.

34:49Why would the Lord harden his heart if

34:51he repented? Was It was on purpose.

34:54It was on purpose. at at this point it

34:57has to be to where because if if you

34:59notice in the beginning he had sorcerers

35:00and magicians and stuff and all who

35:02tried to play God and God had to show

35:04them that I am God. I'm the only God.

35:06The Egyptians didn't believe in God.

35:07They believed in their own gods. They

35:09didn't serve the they didn't serve the

35:10God of the Hebrews and the Israelites.

35:12They they mocked him. They didn't care

35:14about that. They had multiple gods for

35:15multiple things. So they didn't believe

35:17in that stuff. But he had to show that I

35:19am the God of these people. And we'll

35:22understand why as we go when we go back

35:24in Genesis, you gonna understand all of

35:25this. I promise. Okay? You gonna

35:27understand all of this. I promise you

35:29that. Okay? But the Lord, I'm on verse

35:3227, y'all. Chapter 10. But the Lord

35:34hardened Pharaoh's heart once more and

35:35he will not let them go. Get out of

35:37here. Pharaoh shouted at Moses. I'm

35:41warning you, never come back to see me

35:43again. The day you see my face, you will

35:45die. That's what Pharaoh said to Moses.

35:47And Moses said, "Very well. All right,

35:49cool. I'll never see your face again.

35:54Chapter 11, y'all. Chapter 11. Death for

35:58Egypt's firstborn. Then the Lord said to

36:01Moses, "I will strike Pharaoh in the

36:02land of Egypt with one more blow. Not

36:05two more blows. Not a blow and a half.

36:07With one more blow. After that, Pharaoh

36:10will let you leave this country. He

36:12gonna be happy for you to get up out of

36:13here. He He We ain't gonna We ain't

36:15gonna do none of that." Will Pharaoh be

36:17considered a repbate? Yeah, pretty much.

36:19Yeah. If you want to look at it that

36:21way, that's a good that's a good way of

36:22looking at that. Right

36:24after that, Pharaoh will let you leave

36:27this country. In fact, he will be so

36:29eager to get rid of you that he will

36:30force you all to leave. Tell all the

36:33Israelite men and women to ask their

36:35Egyptian neighbors for articles of

36:37silver and gold. Ask them people that

36:40enslaved you. Ask them people who had

36:42you oppressed. Ask those people who

36:45governed over you. Ask those people for

36:48shivering up. Ask them the the very

36:51people who were hurting you.

36:53>> Ask those people. Now the Lord had

36:55caused the Egyptians to look favorably

36:57on the people of Israel. They had favor.

37:01>> Now he caused them.

37:03>> I had to I I had to come through with

37:05these judgments so they'll know that

37:07y'all are my people. Everything for them

37:09is lied in ruins. And they sitting over

37:11here looking at Go like, "Dang, y'all

37:13see the Nile Delta over there? They

37:15still They got everything still in

37:18Egypt. Goan on the northeastern side of

37:21the now delta. Goan ain't touched. We

37:24ain't got nothing. It ain't a piece of

37:27corn left for us.

37:30>> Those judgments made Egypt see that this

37:34God is real.

37:36>> We have to acknowledge that this is his

37:38people. I see the oil. They oily over

37:42there.

37:43>> They're covered. I see favor

37:47and and honestly I haven't seen them

37:50having to perform for it. We we got to

37:52perform for our gods and stuff. We got

37:54to we I I ain't seen them have to do

37:56that. Why they good?

37:59>> He said that the Egyptians are going to

38:02look at the Israelites with in a

38:04favorable manner. And Moses was

38:06considered a very great man in the land

38:08of Egypt. Now they respected Moses

38:10>> as well.

38:12He was respected by Pharaoh's officials

38:14and the Egyptian people alike. Moses has

38:17announced to Pharaoh, this is what the

38:20Lord says. At midnight tonight, I will

38:22pass through the heart of Egypt. All the

38:24firstborn s sons would die in every

38:27family in Egypt. All of them,

38:30>> not a couple of them. Every firstborn

38:32son is going to die in every family in

38:36Egypt. from the oldest son of Pharaoh

38:38who sits on his throne to the oldest son

38:39of the lowliest servant girl who grinds

38:42the flower.

38:43Even the firstborn of all your livestock

38:46is going to die too. Then a loud whale

38:49will rise throughout the land of Egypt.

38:51A well like no one has heard before or

38:54will ever hear again. We got to I'm

38:56reminding you all that this is judgment

38:58by the way.

39:01>> And I I want to remind you all because I

39:03know some people look at this and say,

39:04"God, you harsh." There's been times

39:05where I was like, "God, you couldn't

39:06have been a little bit light." But this

39:08is judgment. And it's not that he didn't

39:11give them time. He gave Pharaoh time. He

39:13gave them time.

39:15And Pharaoh mocked God

39:17>> and he bargained with them. Made a fool

39:19out of them. Tried to at least.

39:20>> Okay? So, I want y'all to know this.

39:22It's not that just God. It's not like I

39:23just want to wipe people clean.

39:25>> I gave him time. Okay?

39:30>> Then a loud well, I'm go back to verse

39:32six. Then a loud well will rise

39:33throughout the land of Egypt. a well

39:34like no one has heard before or will

39:36ever hear again. But amongst

39:39the Israelites,

39:42it will be so peaceful that not even a

39:45dog will bark. Y'all know if y'all pay

39:48attention, if somebody is ever whailing

39:50or dogs hear a loud cry, they bark. They

39:54be like, "Hey, what is what's going on?"

39:56They going to bark up a storm. It said

39:58that. But among the Israelites, it will

40:00be so peaceful that not even a dog will

40:03bark in Gan. They won't hear the chaos

40:06in Goan. They won't hear the cries in

40:09Goan. They won't witness the agony that

40:12you're going through. The dogs are going

40:14to sleep peacefully. The babies, the

40:15livestock. Ain't nobody going to be

40:17making a noise over there. They won't

40:19even know what's going on in the middle

40:21of the chaos because Goan was in Egypt

40:24as well. While the land is getting

40:27ruined, and while these firstborns are

40:29getting wiped out, they are sleeping,

40:30rubbing their feet together with the

40:32gold and sivers that the Egyptians gave

40:34to them.

40:37>> Let the Bible come alive. Come on now.

40:39Stop playing with God. Play with

40:41somebody else. Then you will know that

40:42the Lord makes a distinction between the

40:44Egyptians and the Israelites. You going

40:46to know these are my people. I claim

40:48them.

40:49>> Yes,

40:50>> these are my people. They belong to me.

40:53All of the officials of Egypt will run

40:55to me and fall to the ground before me.

40:57Please leave, they will beg. Hurry and

40:59take all of your fathers with you. Only

41:01then will I go. Then burning with anger,

41:04Moses left Pharaoh.

41:06Pharaoh got to see that Moses was

41:08expressing God's anger now. You You

41:10played one too many times and I know you

41:13don't fear the Lord and I know you were

41:14just using me to get the Lord to stop.

41:16You done ticked him off. And he said,

41:18"Watch out." The seven I wills. God

41:20said, "Watch out." Mhm. [clears throat]

41:24>> Now the Lord had told Moses earlier,

41:26"Phara Pharaoh will not listen to you,

41:28but then I would do even more mighty

41:30miracles in the land of Egypt." Moses

41:32and Aaron performed these miracles in

41:34Pharaoh's presence. But the Lord

41:35hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he

41:37wouldn't let the Israelites leave the

41:39country.

41:41Y'all ready?

41:43Y'all ready?

41:45[laughter]

41:46>> Y'all ready? Let's get into the word of

41:48God, y'all. Let's get into the word of

41:51God. I want y'all to understand what go

41:54is. Okay? Like I said, we got a nice bit

41:57of reading this time, okay? So, I know

42:00that was a lot for y'all, but just just

42:01work with me here, okay? Cuz I I know

42:03that was a lot,

42:05but what are y'all getting so far before

42:07we even get started? Y'all tell me what

42:08y'all getting so far. Before we even get

42:11started, y'all tell me what you getting

42:12so far, and we going to keep going

42:14because the Lord said, "Watch out."

42:16Y'all tell me what y'all getting so far.

42:19Talk to me.

42:20>> Yes. Yes. Go a place of peace and

42:23protection. That's good. Yes. Yes. Don't

42:26play with God. Yes.

42:28>> This time. Yep. Fully submit. Yep.

42:32>> All right.

42:33>> Good. God is merciful.

42:37>> Okay, cool. We're gonna go to our first

42:39supporting scripture, y'all. Our first

42:41supporting scripture. We're gonna go

42:43that. Okay. We're going to go there.

42:47M

42:51okay. First supporting scripture, go to

42:53Genesis chapter 45 [snorts]

43:00verse 18.

43:02It's actually 18b, but yeah, go to

43:05Genesis chapter 45 verse 18 and tell say

43:08amen when y'all got it. First supporting

43:10scripture. Thank you, Katherine. If

43:11somebody can drop it in the chat, that'd

43:12be amazing.

43:17Now, y'all know Jacob was later named

43:20Israel. We Does everybody remember that

43:22from our previous Bible studies? I know

43:23some of y'all were not there, but Jacob

43:26was named Israel. So, y'all understand

43:29the Israelites.

43:31>> Okay. Okay. When we get to Genesis,

43:34we're going to break down the whole

43:35story of Joseph. We don't have time

43:36today to break it down, but trust me, we

43:38are getting to it. Okay. But once Jacob

43:41was able to return to Joseph, and Joseph

43:43had a position in Egypt, even though

43:45that was Jacob's son, he had a position

43:47in Egypt. We'll get to how he got there

43:49in the first place. When Jacob when

43:52Joseph brought Jacob back into the land

43:55of Egypt, okay, the Pharaoh at that time

43:59had respect for Joseph, he actually put

44:00Joseph in his position. Joseph was very

44:03high ranked, second highest rank, right?

44:05Directly under the Pharaoh. Okay.

44:08When Jacob, who was Joseph's father, was

44:10able to bring him and all his sons and

44:12grands and all that. When they came,

44:16Joseph had given them the land of Goan.

44:20Okay, these are shepherds that we're

44:22talking about. By the way, Egypt

44:23couldn't stand shepherds. Okay, Joseph

44:26said, "I have land for you." And Pharaoh

44:29said, "Then you and your father and all

44:31of your families return here to me." I'm

44:33sorry, that's what Joseph said, but

44:34that's what Pharaoh was a part of this.

44:36I will give you the very best land in

44:39Egypt.

44:42>> I will give you, this is him talking to

44:44Jacob, Israel, I will give you the very

44:48best land in Egypt and you will eat from

44:51the best that the land produces. This is

44:54the land of Gan. Okay? This is the land

44:57of Goan. If you go up a little bit more

45:00in that chapter 45,

45:03chapter 45 verse 10, you can live in the

45:06region of

45:06>> Goan

45:10>> where you can be near me with all your

45:13children and grandchildren, your flocks

45:15and a herd and everything you own. Go

45:18was a part of the now delta. Let me see.

45:21I don't know. I think my thing is I

45:22don't think y'all will be able to see

45:24the map and you may not see that map on

45:27your screen. I don't necessarily know if

45:28y'all be able to see it, but a part of

45:30the Nile Delta at the top part, the

45:33northern part of Egypt all the way at

45:35the top there is what looks like a V

45:37with a whole bunch of streams of river

45:40and water and things like that from the

45:41Mediterranean Sea. Like right at the top

45:44and you have Gan that is northeast to

45:47that. It's like if you see the V, you

45:49got Goan that's right here. That's right

45:52there. This is a land that was rich.

45:56Okay. This is a land that was rich.

46:01Okay.

46:03This is a land that was rich.

46:06[clears throat] Y'all understand that?

46:07Are y'all following me? Yes. Go remind

46:09you of that place, right? So, this land

46:11was rich. This is a land that was good

46:12for shepherds. It was good for

46:14livestock, whatever they needed. It was

46:16rich in soil. Okay? And that's where

46:19they were going. It didn't say, "I'm

46:20give you the second best." It said that

46:22I'm going to give you the best land in

46:25Egypt. The Israelites were able to go to

46:27the best land of Egypt when they came

46:29from Canaan that was going through and

46:31suffering from a famine.

46:33>> Yeah.

46:33>> It was going through they were suffering

46:35[clears throat]

46:35>> and he said you have the best land here.

46:39Joseph was already sent there. Joseph

46:40was sent there in slavery because of his

46:42brothers. Okay, like I said, we going to

46:44talk about that. So, he was sent there

46:45through slavery. Ended up being in jail.

46:48ended up having favor because he was

46:50able to interpret dreams. The whole

46:52shebang that Pharaoh at that time was

46:54like, "Cool."

46:56He was like, "Cool." Not Not that

46:58Joseph. Not Jesus. Not Not Jesus. Not

47:01[laughter]

47:01Not that Joseph. We ain't there yet. Not

47:04him. It's okay though. But not him. Not

47:07there. Not yet. So, yes. So, Joseph had

47:10already went ahead of them. Even though

47:12they betrayed him and did him wrong, God

47:14sent Joseph ahead of them to make sure

47:16that they were going to be able to have

47:18a land that was rich. The soil was rich

47:22and it can keep them good and they

47:23livestock as well. This is Goan. Okay,

47:26now let's get into let's talk y'all. Now

47:28I'm ready to talk. Okay, so Goan go like

47:32I said it was part of the eastern now

47:34Delta. The soil was rich at that time.

47:36It was a perfect land for shepherds. It

47:38was best for them to go to that land

47:40because the Egyptians despised

47:42shepherds. Y'all will read that later as

47:44you go as we go further into it as well.

47:45So, the land was perfect for them. It

47:48was the best land of Egypt. I want to

47:50make sure that you all understand that

47:51God I want to make sure y'all are

47:52following me. So, really listen. God had

47:55a place prepared for his chosen people.

47:59The best land of Egypt was prepared for

48:02his chosen people. The best land was

48:05prepared for his chosen people. Y'all

48:08follow me there? The best land was

48:12Goan was God's answer to famine. He made

48:14sure that Jacob and all of his the

48:16people under him were going to be able

48:17to go to this land. This was part of

48:18God's prophetic plan.

48:21Like I said before, God already writes

48:23it out for us. He already has a plan for

48:27us. He already has a plan. Under this

48:29Pharaoh, Goan was abundant. There was no

48:32suffering under this Pharaoh. It was the

48:34next pharaoh who didn't know Joseph that

48:36[snorts] brought along the oppression

48:38and slavery and stuff like that. But

48:40this go right here was a part of God's

48:42plan. Okay.

48:44All right. What you see right here as we

48:47all read in the text, Goan was

48:50protected.

48:52This is a part of the covenant, the

48:54Abrahamic covenant. Y'all, we're going

48:56to get to Genesis. Like I said, I

48:58promise y'all we are. This was a part of

48:59the Abrahamic covenant. God told Abraham

49:02that he was going to have the first of

49:04all, he was going to have a whole bunch

49:05of descendants, but he was going to put

49:06them in a good land, too. And he was

49:08going to take care of them. And that was

49:10part of the covenant that he made with

49:11Abraham.

49:14And so, right here, what we see is I put

49:17your people, your descendants, into this

49:20land of plenty, this rich soil, and they

49:24were good, fruitful, able to multiply

49:27because everything was in abundance

49:29there. and I covered them. Even when

49:32when I came to when I came to rescue

49:34them, they were protected. The famines

49:37that were wiping out the humans did not

49:39touch the Israelites. They were not

49:42touched at all.

49:44Exactly. Y'all following me? And then

49:46God also said in the text that I have

49:49made a distinction.

49:52I drew the line. You're going to know

49:54who belongs to me and who does not

49:56belong to me.

49:57Let me make this more modern so y'all

49:59can understand that God has chosen his

50:03people.

50:05In the midst of the chaos, in the midst

50:08of the corruption of this economy, in

50:10the midst of the darkness, in the midst

50:13of the despair, I will make a

50:15distinction between who my people are

50:18and who my people are not.

50:21Do y'all understand that?

50:24Goan was a hidden place of favor and

50:28provision.

50:30I am going to show you the favor that my

50:34people who walk in fellowship with me,

50:37that my people who I sent my only

50:40begotten son, whom my people who I love,

50:44whom my people who I've called by name,

50:47you will see the favor and the provision

50:49that I have.

50:53My people,

50:56Gan in this text right here in the book

50:59of Exodus was a shielded place in the

51:02middle of judgment. Not one judgment,

51:04not two judgments, not it was shielded

51:07in the midst when everything was left

51:09for ruins,

51:11when it was dark, when the livestock,

51:15when everything was left for dead.

51:19My people were in perfect peace. Shalom.

51:22Salomon. My people didn't even know what

51:25was going on.

51:27And the crazy thing about it is what we

51:29see is that Goan wasn't separate from

51:31Egypt. Goan ain't on the other side of

51:33of Egypt. Goan was in Egypt. Goan was

51:37not separate from Egypt. I hope y'all

51:39catching what I'm throwing. Goan wasn't

51:41separate from Egypt.

51:43Goan didn't have to escape Egypt. They

51:48were right there smack dead in the

51:49middle of Egypt. They didn't have to

51:51escape Egypt because there was favor

51:53within Goan. Okay. Are we making Am I

51:57making it plain for you? Are you

51:58catching what I'm throwing? Are can you

52:00are you catching what I'm throwing?

52:02Okay.

52:04We don't have to be separated from the

52:06corruption. We don't have to be

52:08separated from the world. We don't have

52:10to be separated from the government. No,

52:12they don't have to take us and put us in

52:13another country. We don't have to go

52:15through that because we have favor. We

52:18have provision. We are protected. We

52:20have favor. We have grace. We have

52:22mercy. We have an eternal goan. The

52:26eternal goan came by means of Christ who

52:28died on the cross for us. We have an

52:30eternal goion. It is within us. We are

52:34protected. Even in the midst of this

52:37storm and this chaos, you are going to

52:39see the favor and the glory of God. Even

52:43in the midst of all of this corruption,

52:46where people are serving other gods

52:48outside of the only true God, where

52:50people have brought on substitutes,

52:52where people have practiced spirituality

52:55and witchcraft, where people are now

52:57praying to other gods to save them, you

53:00are going to see the oil that overflows

53:02on the people that I have chose.

53:06YOU CAN'T HIDE the fellowship that you

53:08have been in with God because the people

53:11will see the overflow of your oil. Are

53:13y'all catching what I'm throwing here

53:14now? Are we catching what I'm throwing

53:17here? Go to John 17 verse1 15. Go to

53:20John 17:15. We got another supporting

53:23scripture. It's in the New Testament,

53:25y'all. It's going to become one of y'all

53:27favorite books. I promise you. Go to

53:29John 17 verse1 15 and say amen when you

53:33got it. John chapter 17 verse1 15

53:36because I want to make sure that we

53:38understand this.

53:39>> Okay.

53:41Want to make sure we're good. We got

53:43this. Okay.

53:45>> We going to know this word God. Okay.

53:48>> Amen. [laughter]

53:49>> This is the prayer of Jesus by the way.

53:51Okay. This is when Jesus looked up to

53:52the heavens was talking to the father.

53:54He said I'm not asking you to take them

53:56out of the world but to keep them safe

53:59from the evil one. Let me let me just

54:02bar. I'm not asking you to take them out

54:05of the world, but to keep them safe from

54:09the evil one.

54:10>> Yes.

54:12>> Okay.

54:14God kept the Israelites safe. You were

54:17rubbing your feet when people were

54:19welling. When the balls came through,

54:21did nothing touch your body. When the

54:23darkness was there, you still had light.

54:26When the hell storm came through and

54:28wiped out everything, your livestock was

54:30still good. You still had plantation.

54:33>> Yeah.

54:34>> Do y'all understand that? I'm not asking

54:36you to take them out of the world.

54:40You're not claimed by the world. You are

54:42claimed by God.

54:45That's who claims you.

54:48That's why we're in fellowship. That's

54:50why we stay at the feet of the throne.

54:52That's the reason why we give our life

54:54to Christ. That's the reason why we have

54:56a heart of repentance. That's the reason

54:59why we surrender. That's the reason why

55:01we're obedient. That's the reason why we

55:03have faith. Because you don't have to

55:05actually take me out of the location

55:07that I'm in. You don't got to do that

55:10because God is protecting you from the

55:12evil.

55:12>> What we crying for?

55:14>> What we crying for? Y'all following me?

55:16Are do we are we recognizing who God is?

55:20>> So go today is the inner peace that we

55:23have. It's the faith and the hope that

55:25is in God. That is the go of today. It

55:28is the inner peace that we have. Lord,

55:31strong tower, you better come on and

55:33claim that. Lord, how in the world is it

55:35that when everybody else is losing

55:37something, I have peace. Where is this

55:40coming from? God said go was the place

55:43that I had provision for it. Not only

55:47did I have physical provision, I had

55:50emotional and spiritual provision as

55:52well. How do you think they slept

55:54through an oppressive darkness? Y'all

55:55not catching what I'm throwing?

55:57>> Mhm.

55:58Y'all not catching what I'm throwing.

56:01>> He said, "Not only am I giving you land

56:04and I'm making sure you have livestock

56:06and plantation so you can eat good when

56:08the locust done ate all the rest of

56:10their scraps, I'm making sure that you

56:12are provided for not just physically,

56:15but spiritually and emotionally as well.

56:19You are covered."

56:21>> Yeah.

56:22>> Go today represents us being sustained.

56:26Beverly went off earlier today. I wish

56:28y'all could have saw it. Go today means

56:31us being sustained. Sustained in Hebrew

56:35means sach. S a s s a m a k. Sach

56:41>> is what sustain means in Hebrew. And you

56:44know what sustain means in Hebrew? It

56:47means to keep alive. We serve a

56:49sustainer. He sustains us. So go today

56:54means that we are being sustained. I

56:56don't think y'all but I'm throwing my

56:59God today. Now y'all can understand

57:01while in worship when I prayed I was in

57:03tears because go today means that God is

57:06keeping us alive.

57:08>> Oh y'all not y'all not so this is this

57:10is more than physically. Go today means

57:12that God is keeping us alive. It's also

57:16giving us that that physical that

57:18emotional and that spiritual support

57:20that we need when we see the corruption

57:22of the government. God, I need your

57:25emotional and spiritual support when I

57:27feel like I'm losing everything. God,

57:30keep the roof over my head and the food

57:32in my home. God, send the people that

57:35you have assigned to me that may be able

57:37to bless me. God, I see the people that

57:40you sent forward, God. I see the Josephs

57:43that you sent ahead of me, God, as you

57:45prepared a land for me, God. I see the

57:48prophecy, God. I'm witnessing it. You

57:51sent people ahead of me to get better

57:53jobs. YOU SENT PEOPLE AHEAD OF ME in the

57:56government to fight on my behalf. YOU

57:58SENT INTERCESSORS ahead of me, God, to

58:00pray for me because you knew I was about

58:03to face a famine. So, you sent my

58:05Joseph, oh my God. So you sent my Joseph

58:09ahead of me, God. And you prepared Gion

58:12for me. And you said that I'm going to

58:14sustain you, God. And you have kept me

58:16alive when everybody else is dying

58:18emotionally, when everybody else is

58:20dying physically, when everyone is

58:22starving. But God, yet you sustain me.

58:25You are the sustainer and the author of

58:27my life.

58:28>> Oh my God. I don't think y'all follow

58:30me. It's just not

58:33It's just not [clears throat]

58:37>> It's just not about living. God said,

58:39"I'm not just going to make you live.

58:42I'm going to make sure that you thrive

58:44as well. My God, the ocean is not just a

58:47place where you just live. I put you on

58:50the now delta. I put you where there are

58:52streams of overflow. There are streams

58:55of abundance. The land is rich. THIS IS

58:58THE BEST LAND of Egypt. I'm sending you

59:01to a land. I am sending you to a place.

59:04I'm sending you to a space. Not only

59:07will you live, but you will thrive.

59:10>> Yes. Come on. You will thrive.

59:14>> Goan

59:16is the place where judgment passes over.

59:23>> Judgment passed over. Go.

59:25>> Yeah. This is more than just a physical

59:27place. It's the place where where favor

59:31surrounds you.

59:34You're oily.

59:36>> Mhm.

59:37>> A part of your inheritance is peace. I I

59:40don't think y'all that's that's why we

59:42go get our inheritance. It's yours.

59:44[snorts]

59:44A part of your inheritance is peace.

59:50>> Our go is the peace that surpasses all

59:53understanding. That's our go,

59:54[clears throat] is it not? Our go is

59:56provision.

59:58>> Our go is financial provision. Our go is

1:00:02clear discernment. Discernment. I have

1:00:04to be able to discern as well. I need to

1:00:08know that you are God and this is the

1:00:10God of Isaac, Abraham, and Jacob. This

1:00:13ain't somebody else playing God. This is

1:00:15clear discernment for me also to know

1:00:17who's around me and what it is that I

1:00:20need to do and make the proper

1:00:21decisions. Go is the relationship and

1:00:24intimacy that we have for God. That's

1:00:26the reason why we stay in our word. We

1:00:28don't stay in our word so we can play

1:00:30trivia with the Bible. I don't care that

1:00:32you can tell me how many books are in a

1:00:34Bible. We stay in our word because we

1:00:36are in deep relationship with God. I

1:00:38read this word so I can get to know you

1:00:40and I can stay close to you so that you

1:00:43may feel my heart and I have a overflow.

1:00:45This is my relationship and intimacy.

1:00:47That's why I stay in the word of God. Go

1:00:50is God's light. Go is God's prosperity.

1:00:54Go is the freedom because who the son

1:00:57y'all don't get me started. Go is the

1:00:59freedom.

1:01:01>> Yes. It's free indeed. Hallelujah.

1:01:03>> Go is a distinction. He said I'mma make

1:01:07a distinction between the Egyptians.

1:01:11>> Yeah.

1:01:11>> And the Israelites.

1:01:13>> Yeah. M goan is a declaration that even

1:01:17in judgment even when judgment hits this

1:01:21world those who belong to God let me

1:01:24make sure I repeat I repeat this goion

1:01:27is a declaration that even when judgment

1:01:31hits this world those who belong to God

1:01:34will be marked

1:01:37preserved and kept near marked by the

1:01:41blood of Christ.

1:01:44>> Just like their doors, and we going to

1:01:45read about that. Just like their doors

1:01:47were marked by the blood of a lamb.

1:01:51Mhm. A one-year-old

1:01:54lamb, a young baby lamb, innocent.

1:02:00>> We're marked by the blood of Jesus

1:02:02Christ,

1:02:04and we are preserved and kept near. So

1:02:08even when we see that there was a

1:02:11judgment that's taking place,

1:02:16even when we see the things that are

1:02:17happening,

1:02:19we are we have a place in our heart. We

1:02:21have a go. We have a distinction that

1:02:24shows that we're marked.

1:02:29So how does God prepare our go? Cuz we

1:02:31saw Joseph ahead of time, right? cuz

1:02:35we're looking, we're like, well, how do

1:02:37we know that God prepared it for us?

1:02:41You know, the good thing about God is

1:02:43that God doesn't wait until trouble

1:02:45takes place. He doesn't wait until chaos

1:02:47takes place. He doesn't wait till

1:02:49there's a famine. He doesn't wait till

1:02:50the judgment is actually there. He

1:02:51doesn't wait until trouble starts to

1:02:53prepare us to prepare a go for us. He He

1:02:56doesn't do that. He prepared a safe

1:02:58place in advance.

1:03:00>> Yeah. He prepared a safe place in

1:03:04advance. We wouldn't if you if you

1:03:06didn't understand God's nature. You you

1:03:09wouldn't understand. Well, why was

1:03:10Joseph sent into slavery? Joseph had two

1:03:14dreams that he expressed with his

1:03:16brothers. And they said, "What you mean

1:03:17we going to bow to you? What you mean?"

1:03:20He said, "I'm I'm telling you what my

1:03:21dream is." And the brother said, "No, we

1:03:23don't like that.

1:03:25Either we going to kill him." Nah.

1:03:27Reuben said, "No, don't do that." Uh-uh.

1:03:29All right. We see some slave holders

1:03:31come this way. Some trade hold. Yeah.

1:03:33Send him off to slavery.

1:03:36They betrayed him. Joseph

1:03:39Joseph goes goes into slavery and they

1:03:41see that this man is smart, man. This

1:03:43this man got a gift on him, man. He gets

1:03:45favor and then he he loses that favor

1:03:48because a woman lies on him. I'm not

1:03:49going to tell y'all everything. We'll

1:03:50get to that. He goes sits in jail and he

1:03:53tells the people with the dreams that he

1:03:54interpreted. He said, "Hey, when you get

1:03:56out there, don't forget about me." And

1:03:57they forgot about him.

1:03:59Yeah. [laughter]

1:04:02And they they forgot about him. And then

1:04:05the Pharaoh needed someone to interpret

1:04:07his dreams.

1:04:08And they remembered the guy who

1:04:11interpreted dreams in jail and said,

1:04:12"Hey, there's a Hebrew guy in jail that

1:04:14can interpret dreams. I remember him."

1:04:16And then he gets favor and he becomes

1:04:18the second highest ranking, the person

1:04:20who was betrayed by his brothers. And

1:04:22Joseph sent him out. And then Joseph

1:04:25told his brothers that it's okay. I know

1:04:27y'all heard me, but I realize now that

1:04:29it was God preparing me. God had to send

1:04:32me first to prepare a land for you.

1:04:36Okay?

1:04:39God didn't wait. He He told Abraham, "I

1:04:41made a promise to you. Don't worry about

1:04:43it." And he fulfilled that promise that

1:04:45promise. And he he fulfilled the

1:04:47prophecy. And he sent someone that you

1:04:49would have least expected it to be. And

1:04:51he prepared a land for them. So with us,

1:04:54God doesn't wait until we fit until we

1:04:56face the trouble. God already had a plan

1:04:59prepared for us. So what are y'all

1:05:01worried about? I want to make sure for

1:05:03those who came into this study and they

1:05:04were worried and crying and everything

1:05:06else. This is the reason why we pray.

1:05:08What are you worrying about when you

1:05:09know for a fact how God's faithfulness

1:05:12and his goodness is? He prepared a safe

1:05:15place in advance.

1:05:17He prepared it in advance. And he also

1:05:20set us apart. Do you belong to God? I'm

1:05:23G. Let me ask y'all that. Do y'all

1:05:25belong to God?

1:05:26>> Do you belong to God? I belong to God.

1:05:29>> Lord, yes.

1:05:30>> I have given and dedicated my life to

1:05:32Christ Jesus. I belong to God.

1:05:35>> I have given and dedicated my life to

1:05:38Christ Jesus. I belong to God.

1:05:42I belong to God. And I know because of

1:05:45God's goodness, his completeness, his

1:05:48wholeness, his faithfulness that he has

1:05:51prepared a safe place for me in advance.

1:05:54He has set me apart. This is the reason

1:05:56why we keep going through this sanct

1:05:58sanctification. Kitty, why in the world

1:06:00do I keep losing friends? Why is it that

1:06:03everything that I used to enjoy doing, I

1:06:05can't do anymore, Kitty? I USED TO BE

1:06:07PARTYING TO 2:00 IN THE MORNING. I'M IN

1:06:08THE WORD OF GOD UP AT 2:00 IN THE

1:06:10MORNING. I'M PRAYING NOW, KITTY. What's

1:06:13happening to me? What is going on? You

1:06:15being sanctified and set apart. It's a

1:06:18part of the plan.

1:06:20>> You oily, baby. It's a part of the plan.

1:06:22You oily.

1:06:24>> You don't smoke no more. You don't drink

1:06:26no more. You're not in crystals no more.

1:06:28You ain't doing that no more. You

1:06:30standing at the feet of God. Kitty, I'm

1:06:32tired of crying. Keep crying. Whatever

1:06:35keeps you at the feet, keep doing it.

1:06:37What you mean? What you worried about?

1:06:40God is sanctifying you. He got to make a

1:06:42distinction.

1:06:44You have to be set apart. You got to be

1:06:48just like he set the Israelites apart.

1:06:51God sent Joseph ahead to preserve life.

1:06:56He sent somebody ahead of you to

1:06:59preserve your life. You probably never

1:07:00met that person before. It could have

1:07:02been somebody who was praying for their

1:07:03grandbabies and great-grandb

1:07:06great great grandbabies. It could have

1:07:07been somebody who was praying and

1:07:09covering you, who entered into covenant

1:07:11with God long before you, and he had

1:07:14already sent them ahead of you to

1:07:16preserve your life, and you wondering

1:07:18how I got here.

1:07:20>> He sent somebody. It could have been a

1:07:21friend. It don't got to be a family. It

1:07:23could have been a friend or something

1:07:24like that. It could have been a

1:07:25coworker. It could have been somebody

1:07:27that he sent ahead of you that prayed

1:07:29for you.

1:07:30>> Say, "God, just keep your hand on them.

1:07:32I I see something in that baby. It's

1:07:35it's it's in that baby right there. It's

1:07:36in him. It's in her. God just just

1:07:39covering him. And you had no idea.

1:07:42You had no idea. And God is sanctifying

1:07:45you.

1:07:47The land Goan was already chosen for

1:07:50Jacob's family. Your go is already

1:07:52marked.

1:07:54If you here, I know your go is marked.

1:07:57Let's talk about the journey to go.

1:07:58Y'all, we going to get ready to wrap up.

1:08:00Are y'all following me? Are y'all

1:08:01getting Are y'all following where I'm

1:08:03where I'm going? Are y'all understanding

1:08:05this? cuz I know this one was a long one

1:08:06cuz we had to read so much. We had to

1:08:09read a lot.

1:08:10>> Yes,

1:08:11>> we had to read a lot.

1:08:13>> The journey to Goan. Let's let's talk

1:08:15about that cuz when we get to Genesis,

1:08:17that's why we go that's why we go up to

1:08:19chapter 12 in Exodus and then we go back

1:08:20and read Genesis. Cuz when you get to

1:08:22Genesis, you going to be like, "Oh,

1:08:24that's who Abraham was. Oh, that was

1:08:25Isaac. That was Jacob. Oh, that's how we

1:08:28oh my." You gonna get to it and you

1:08:29gonna be like, "Oh."

1:08:32because we're we're understanding the

1:08:34themes

1:08:35of the word of God and y'all are going

1:08:37to understand the origin

1:08:40and better understand the nature of God.

1:08:41So the journey to go first the the first

1:08:44thing is the obedience

1:08:46Abram before he was Abraham. Abram

1:08:50before his name was changed to Abraham.

1:08:52Right?

1:08:54>> God commanded Abram.

1:08:57>> What is that noise? Who is that? There

1:08:58somebody in the background.

1:09:01Oh,

1:09:02>> can you mute your mic real quick? Yeah.

1:09:04Yeah. [snorts]

1:09:04[laughter]

1:09:06>> So, God commanded Abram

1:09:09to leave his land.

1:09:12He commanded Abram to leave his land,

1:09:14his relatives, and his father's house.

1:09:17And you know what Abram did? This is

1:09:19before he was Abraham. Still the same

1:09:21person. Okay? You know what Abram did?

1:09:23He left. He was obedient. He didn't even

1:09:26know God's plan. He He didn't know what

1:09:28was going on. He didn't know God's plan.

1:09:30man. He didn't know what the outcome was

1:09:31going to be. He didn't know none of

1:09:33that. But he left a familiar territory.

1:09:37He left familiar people. He left a

1:09:39familiar lifestyle. He left a familiar

1:09:42place. He left what was familiar without

1:09:46knowing what God's plan actually was.

1:09:48Didn't know what the outcome was going

1:09:49to be. That's obedience, right? That's

1:09:52faith, right? Come on now, Captain. You

1:09:54better say that. Walk by faith. He left.

1:09:59He left. what was familiar. God has

1:10:02called us to be obedient. Leave the

1:10:04people who are going to compromise your

1:10:06calling. Leave the people who are still

1:10:08living in sin. Leave the people who are

1:10:11not good for you. Leave that place.

1:10:14Leave that club. Leave what you have

1:10:16tried to substitute me with. Leave from

1:10:18the practices that you had before me.

1:10:20Leave what has been familiar to you.

1:10:22Leave that relationship. Leave that job.

1:10:26Leave the comfort that you have. That's

1:10:28good. Leave it. Obey me.

1:10:32Leave that. Have faith in knowing that I

1:10:34am a faithful God and I am a God of my

1:10:37promises. Just say yes. Even if you

1:10:40don't know the outcome, leave what is

1:10:43familiar. So that's the first thing that

1:10:45was a part of the journey to go was that

1:10:47it took Abram's obedience. On your way

1:10:49to go, it's going to take your

1:10:50obedience.

1:10:52It's going to take your yes. It's going

1:10:54to take your sacrifice. It's going to

1:10:57take it.

1:10:58Then we see that Abram entered into a

1:11:01covenant with God. Abram entered into a

1:11:04binding agreement with God. This is

1:11:07Genesis 15 if y'all want to go catch a

1:11:09read. Abram entered into a covenant with

1:11:11God.

1:11:14Well, Kitty, how do we enter into a

1:11:16covenant with God? We are in covenant

1:11:18with God. We believe and we accept Jesus

1:11:21Christ as our Lord and Savior and we

1:11:23repent for our sins.

1:11:28What are you baptized in? And whose name

1:11:30are you baptized in? Whose name do you

1:11:33become baptized in?

1:11:37You enter into a covenant by accepting

1:11:39and acknowledging that the only way to

1:11:41God is Jesus. That's all right. I'm

1:11:43going to give y'all something. If y'all

1:11:44still in in John, go to chapter 14. If

1:11:47you still in John, go to chapter 14 and

1:11:49verse 6. Cuz I ain't one that's going to

1:11:50lie to you. If you still in John, y'all

1:11:53should know this one. Whoever's been in

1:11:55church for a long time, you probably

1:11:56know it. If you're still in John, go to

1:11:58chapter 14 verse 6. Jesus told him, "I

1:12:01am the way,

1:12:04the truth,

1:12:06and the life.

1:12:08No one can come to the father except

1:12:10through me."

1:12:13That That's

1:12:17There it is right there. That's proof

1:12:18right there. Abram entered into a

1:12:20covenant. Abram had sacrifices though.

1:12:23That was a little bit different. But we

1:12:24have the ultimate sacrifice. Stop

1:12:26playing with Jesus. We have the ultimate

1:12:28sacrifice. We We have our blood

1:12:29sacrifice here. But Abram had his own

1:12:31sacrifices at that time. And he entered

1:12:34into a covenant. Not only was he

1:12:35obedient, but then he entered into a

1:12:37covenant. And he received the covenant.

1:12:40Y'all, we're on our way to our go,

1:12:42right? So we we have to be obedient and

1:12:44we need to be in covenant with God.

1:12:49You're not on camera, Atkins. You're not

1:12:51on We can't see you or hear you. Are you

1:12:52okay?

1:12:54Mhm. So, Abram then entered a co into a

1:12:58covenant. Then he became Abraham. Okay.

1:13:00We'll read about that in Genesis. And

1:13:02then what we start to see is now there's

1:13:03a transfer of blessings through Isaac

1:13:05and Jacob. Now we got the son and then

1:13:07we got the grandson. We going down now.

1:13:09We're going down Abram Abraham's line.

1:13:11Yeah. Isaac inherited the promised land.

1:13:17But he had to rediscover his

1:13:18relationship with God.

1:13:21Beverly was saying that earlier. It

1:13:23can't just be through your parents.

1:13:24Isaac, it couldn't just be through your

1:13:26daddy.

1:13:28You have to form a relationship with

1:13:30God. I know your mom and daddy been

1:13:31praying for you. I know your

1:13:32grandparents been praying for you. I I

1:13:34know other people been praying for you.

1:13:36But right here, there was a transfer of

1:13:38a blessing. But in order for that to do

1:13:40so, Isaac had to enter into a

1:13:42relationship with God. You couldn't be

1:13:43coming over here and just dipping up in

1:13:45your daddy's oil and thinking you were

1:13:46fine. No. You get into a covenant with

1:13:49me. You get into an agreement with me,

1:13:51you have a relationship, y'all. We have

1:13:54to have a relationship with God. We

1:13:56can't try to get close to God just by

1:13:58living in somebody else's relationship.

1:14:00You can't keep going to people talking

1:14:01about, "Can you pray to God for me?" You

1:14:03pray for yourself. You can't keep going,

1:14:05"Can you go to God for me?" You go to

1:14:06God yourself.

1:14:08Can you give me a word? You go get into

1:14:10the word and find that word.

1:14:13You have to have a relationship with

1:14:15God. Isaac couldn't live off of

1:14:18Abraham's encounters or his relationship

1:14:20with God. He couldn't do it. And then

1:14:24later after that, then Jacob carried the

1:14:26covenant.

1:14:28You got to carry the covenant and then

1:14:30pass it on. Abraham carried the

1:14:32covenant, he passed it on. Isaac carried

1:14:34the covenant, then he passed it on.

1:14:35Jacob carried the covenant and it was

1:14:37passed on.

1:14:40Right. Abram couldn't be Isaac's God. I

1:14:41like that.

1:14:43So we we see now that there you have to

1:14:45leave what's familiar and be obedient.

1:14:48You have to receive the covenant as

1:14:51well. And you got to carry the covenant.

1:14:54You got to live this covenant out. Live

1:14:57like Christ Jesus. Live like him. Live

1:15:01in deep fellowship with God.

1:15:05Be in deep fellowship with God. Yeah.

1:15:08And you got to pass it on. It's not just

1:15:10about you. You know, I tell y'all that

1:15:11all the time. There are people

1:15:13underneath you.

1:15:15Mhm.

1:15:16Then after that, what we see, we going

1:15:19through the journey to to Goan. We

1:15:21almost done, y'all. And then, like I

1:15:23said, we see now that Joseph was sent by

1:15:25God ahead to prepare Gan.

1:15:30God sent me. Joseph said in Genesis

1:15:32chapter 45:7, he said, "God sent me

1:15:35ahead of you to preserve for you a

1:15:38remnant on earth and to save your lives

1:15:41by a great deliverance." That's what

1:15:43Joseph said to his brothers.

1:15:47He said, "God sent me ahead of y'all."

1:15:53That was the direct link. There was a

1:15:55direct link between Abraham and Gan.

1:15:58There was a Abrahamic covenant.

1:16:02We are in a new covenant under Christ

1:16:05Jesus.

1:16:08We have an eternal goan.

1:16:12Goan,

1:16:14our go is where covenant keeps us.

1:16:18Our agreement with God.

1:16:21Go is where our agreement, our binding

1:16:24agreement with God keeps us.

1:16:29Goan is where we experience God's mercy.

1:16:33Goan is where we experience God's

1:16:35provision

1:16:36while others may not. Other people may

1:16:39not experience God's mercy and his

1:16:42provision, but we do. And so we need to

1:16:45stay side by side with God and stay in

1:16:48covenant with God.

1:16:52We have a go.

1:16:55We're living in our go. Y'all got that?

1:16:59We are y'all following. We We got that.

1:17:02Mhm.

1:17:05We We understand that.

1:17:08Okay.

1:17:10Got something you want to add, Beisha? I

1:17:12know I was I was rolling on them.

1:17:15>> No, it's okay. I had a change of a

1:17:18little little un unexpected, so it's a

1:17:21little loud in my background, but yes,

1:17:23everything Kitty P. I studied with her,

1:17:25y'all. But that was great.

1:17:27>> [laughter]

1:17:29>> What y'all taking from today?

1:17:33>> Yes.

1:17:44>> You said, "I have a question. You

1:17:46mentioned not wanting to do the same

1:17:47things as before, being around the same

1:17:49people. I want to believe

1:17:53I'm going to start moving. I want to

1:17:54believe I am being convicted on those

1:17:56things. But how do I really know?

1:17:58Because I have a habit of just running

1:18:00from things and people. How does

1:18:03conviction work?

1:18:05>> What's the best way to explain this

1:18:07right here?

1:18:11I think more so

1:18:14when you have an avoidance issue.

1:18:19God, how can I make this distinction?

1:18:20How can I break this one down?

1:18:23From avoidance to a conviction.

1:18:31God, Bill, do you got something on that?

1:18:33Cuz I'm trying to think of how I can

1:18:34make the distinction.

1:18:36>> Yeah, I was um

1:18:40Yeah, I was I was trying to think about

1:18:41the best way. I know con conviction and

1:18:45I'm trying to think about it in the way

1:18:47of the way they ask the question because

1:18:49they find it where they just avoid

1:18:52people or run from people. So I'm trying

1:18:54to think about it in the best way from

1:18:56that. I know one thing about conviction

1:18:57you will never feel condemned or you'll

1:18:59never feel shame. There's always it you

1:19:01will feel or you'll never feel guilt,

1:19:04right? If you ever feel like

1:19:11>> the way that's worded is is tricky for

1:19:13me.

1:19:13>> It is. It's because it's the the the way

1:19:16of um

1:19:19of um the avoidance [clears throat]

1:19:21part and I want to because I want to

1:19:22formulate it directly to their question.

1:19:26Um

1:19:27>> I think I think the way that I could put

1:19:29it is that conviction well for me I I I

1:19:32would have to look at my life. I think

1:19:34because I know when you are avoiding

1:19:36someone is usually because of a fear or

1:19:39something is you're anxious about

1:19:41something. Usually avoidance is coming

1:19:42from that. So it's either a a fear of

1:19:45something that doesn't have to be

1:19:46directly related to that person or some

1:19:48type of anxiety or something like that

1:19:50or just that lack of vulnerability. What

1:19:52a conviction doesn't have to have a fear

1:19:54or an anxiety tied to it. That's the

1:19:56best way that I can really think about

1:19:57it. A conviction doesn't have to have

1:19:59that. A conviction, however, is

1:20:01consuming, but it's not usually driven

1:20:03by a fear or an anxiety that you have.

1:20:06It's usually pretty calm and keen and

1:20:09straight to the point of this is what I

1:20:11do not allow. And it's usually more

1:20:13consuming than everything. Okay, I like

1:20:15that. I I like that. Conviction exposes

1:20:17you. I like that.

1:20:19Mhm. which is a it's a really good

1:20:21question. But yeah, so for when I look

1:20:24at it that way, the conviction that I

1:20:27know is usually consuming, but you don't

1:20:30feel the fear and the anxiety and the

1:20:32worry or the pressure behind having to

1:20:33do it. It's I I feel that God is

1:20:36exposing something to me. I feel that

1:20:38God is opening my eyes to something that

1:20:40does not serve him or something that

1:20:42goes against him, his disciplines and

1:20:44his values. So I think I think that's

1:20:48the difference that that I the only way

1:20:50that I would be able to make the

1:20:51distinction but I see some amazing

1:20:53responses in the chat but that's the

1:20:57easiest way and I don't really like to

1:20:58put my own personal experiences on that

1:21:00but that's how I would make the

1:21:02distinction if I would have that. So if

1:21:04I feel if for an example if I were to

1:21:08be around people who did things that I

1:21:10no longer did

1:21:14the avoidance

1:21:17yeah the conviction would more than

1:21:19likely me being able to look at it and

1:21:21say that this just doesn't serve God. It

1:21:22I it doesn't align [clears throat] with

1:21:24my fellowship with God.

1:21:27>> That would be my conviction if I was in

1:21:29it. If it was something that I was

1:21:30dipping and dabbing in, it would be a

1:21:32deep prompting, like a a really intense

1:21:35prompting of this does not serve me.

1:21:37This does not serve God. It's almost as

1:21:39if sometimes you can feel God drifting.

1:21:41You can feel a tug that you just can't

1:21:43explain that's telling you, hey, this

1:21:45doesn't serve you, it doesn't serve me.

1:21:47So, I think that

1:21:49>> yeah, that for me,

1:21:51>> that's the best way that I can explain

1:21:52it from my end. And I think I would just

1:21:54add too like if you feel like you are

1:21:57running because you just want to isolate

1:21:59and be by yourself and it's like pride

1:22:01and you're anxious about it, that's how

1:22:03you know you're just running. But if

1:22:05you're more so going to a place where

1:22:08you're like, well, I want to grow, like

1:22:09I want to heal, and you just want to

1:22:11become better. That's how you know it's

1:22:13a conviction. Like the Holy Spirit would

1:22:15lead you more into a space of like

1:22:17repentance and healing and growing. And

1:22:20you wanting to run is just like, I want

1:22:21to get away. you're anxious about it.

1:22:23You don't really want to be around

1:22:24people. You are just trying to like

1:22:27avoid people. So that's like the part

1:22:29that I would add is kind of like sit

1:22:31down and see like why do I want to get

1:22:33away from these people? Am I just trying

1:22:34to heal and get to a better space or is

1:22:36it just like I just need to isolate? I

1:22:38don't want to be around people. I want

1:22:39to avoid people because the Holy Spirit

1:22:42is never going to um lead you to avoid

1:22:45people or isolate. Isolation is a thing,

1:22:47but we have to be careful because also

1:22:50it can be pride, right? Like you can

1:22:52isolate because you're being prideful.

1:22:54So take a like just take a step back and

1:22:58look at why you don't want to be around

1:23:00these people if it's you know and that

1:23:02can kind of help. So I'll just add that

1:23:06>> I like the answers. I love the answers

1:23:08that y'all.

1:23:09>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Y'all are definitely

1:23:10in the chat like giving great answers

1:23:12>> cuz I love that everyone has a different

1:23:14perspective cuz I I definitely have my

1:23:16own perspective when it comes to that.

1:23:18But I also think it's it's because of my

1:23:20own personal relationship with God. Like

1:23:22my conviction may not feel the same as

1:23:23somebody else's conviction. My

1:23:25conviction like some people's

1:23:26convictions will you know I I don't know

1:23:29how to explain everybody else's but you

1:23:30know some people's convictions can just

1:23:32show up by a

1:23:33>> you know a tug on their body. My

1:23:35convictions are consuming like they they

1:23:37take over. So Mhm.

1:23:39>> I don't know. Like I have really deep

1:23:41convictions, but it could be because of

1:23:42my ministry and the the assignment that

1:23:44I have. Um not saying mine is more

1:23:47important or more intense than anybody

1:23:49else, but it could be that. And it just

1:23:51could be because of the relationship I

1:23:52have with God. So I think the the closer

1:23:55you get to God and the more you

1:23:57fellowship with God, the more you walk

1:23:58with God, um you'll definitely start to

1:24:01experience it and see it.

1:24:04>> My convictions are achy. Like my

1:24:06convictions are like heart achy. meaning

1:24:08that my conviction makes me feel like

1:24:10I'm doing something that hurts God. I'm

1:24:12doing something that grieves the spirit.

1:24:14And so it it makes me feel a sadness.

1:24:16>> It's like a wave of sadness that takes

1:24:18over my conviction. [clears throat] So u

1:24:21that's mine. That's what I mean. Like so

1:24:23even with answering that, I think that's

1:24:24what made it tough for me to answer

1:24:26because everyone's conviction is

1:24:27different. It feels and looks the same.

1:24:30So

1:24:30>> yeah, you know,

1:24:32>> for sure. For sure. But thank y'all.

1:24:35Definitely.

1:24:36>> She went to play. doing with the old

1:24:38crowd and then within 30 minutes Yeah.

1:24:41Yeah.

1:24:41>> That's just that conviction will tear

1:24:43you up. I be like, you know,

1:24:44>> tear you up. Tear you up.

1:24:46>> Yeah.

1:24:47>> Even if it's uncomfortable, it's a piece

1:24:49about it. That's the also the thing. It

1:24:51may be uncomfortable, but there's a

1:24:52piece about conviction. So,

1:24:55>> yeah. But

1:24:57>> so, did y'all did y'all if y'all took

1:25:00something, we hope you all enjoyed it.

1:25:02We gonna pray out.

1:25:02>> Yeah. Yeah. We will be in um we will be

1:25:19Bible with a map, absolutely wonderful.

1:25:57>> Yeah. Share the screen possibly.

1:26:07>> if you feel like going out, you want me

1:26:13one. [laughter]

1:26:33everything that you give us, Lord. We

1:26:35just thank you so much for your breath

1:26:37that is in our lungs. And we thank you

1:26:39so much for this study and this word

1:26:42that has gone forth that you have given

1:26:44us, Father. Lord, I just pray and just

1:26:47ask that it just touch everyone's

1:26:49hearts, Lord, and that you speak to them

1:26:51in the way that they need to hear it,

1:26:53Lord. Lord, I just thank you and declare

1:26:56right now that we are your sheep and we

1:26:58can hear your voice. And so that as we

1:27:00leave this Bible study, may they be able

1:27:02to just take some time, sit quietly with

1:27:05you, and let this word just simmer on

1:27:07their heart. Lord, allow them to hear

1:27:10you and speak to you and hear your

1:27:12voice, Lord. I just ask that you direct

1:27:15them, Lord, in the way that you want

1:27:17them to go, Father. Lord, remind them,

1:27:19Father, that you are protecting them,

1:27:21that you have preserved them, that you

1:27:24knew them before the foundation of the

1:27:26earth, Lord, and that you have already

1:27:27gone before them and sent people before

1:27:30them to prepare their go. Father, Lord,

1:27:33I just thank you so much for the peace

1:27:35that surpasses all understanding, Lord,

1:27:38I just thank you that you are loving,

1:27:40that you are kind, that you never fail

1:27:42us, you never abandon us, Lord. Lord, I

1:27:45just thank you for all that you do, that

1:27:47you have blessed us, Father, that we are

1:27:49prosperous, Father, and that we are

1:27:51favored by you, Lord. Lord, I just thank

1:27:54you and I just sing praises, Father,

1:27:57Lord. And I just ask that you restore

1:27:59anyone who may be struggling, anyone who

1:28:01may be going through anything, Father,

1:28:03fighting any battle, fighting any

1:28:05challenge, Lord. Remind them that they

1:28:07don't have to fight this alone, that you

1:28:09are their God and you will fight for

1:28:11them, Lord. Lord, I declare that you

1:28:13will restore everything that the enemy

1:28:16has stolen from them. Lord, any time

1:28:18they feel they have lost, anything they

1:28:21feel they may not have anymore, Lord,

1:28:22you will give it back to them. Lord, I

1:28:25come to you right now just repenting,

1:28:27Lord, interceding and ask that you

1:28:29forgive us for anything that we have

1:28:31said, anything that we have done, any

1:28:33thought that we have had that is not in

1:28:35alignment with you, Father. as we are

1:28:38your children, Lord. We turn away from

1:28:40our wicked ways, Lord, and we just give

1:28:43ourselves to you, Father. And so we

1:28:46praise you and we thank you that you

1:28:48have forgiven us for every sin, Father,

1:28:51that we have committed. And we thank you

1:28:53that we are not in condemnation, Lord.

1:28:56Lord, every accusation that the enemy is

1:28:59holding against each and every one of

1:29:00us, Father, I declare right now that we

1:29:03are forgiven of it, Father. And I come

1:29:06up against every contract that the enemy

1:29:08is showing that we may have come into

1:29:11agreement with. And I declare that it is

1:29:13broken by the blood of Jesus. Father, I

1:29:16declare that you, our God, will supply

1:29:19all of our needs according to your

1:29:22riches and glory. And I decree that no

1:29:25weapon formed against us shall prosper.

1:29:27Father, as we go off into the evening,

1:29:30Father, allow us to have a restful

1:29:32night. Lord, allow our soul to rest.

1:29:35Allow us to sleep through the night,

1:29:37Father. Speak to us in our dreams,

1:29:40Father. And I come up against every

1:29:42dream that the enemy may try to

1:29:44infiltrate and come into, Lord. Lord, I

1:29:47just ask that you give us notice, Lord.

1:29:49That you give us understanding. Any
