00:02 THIS PRESENTATION IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY
00:04 THE FRIENDS OF THE AMAZING FACTS MINISTRY.
00:10 SLEEPWALKING OR SOMNAMBULISM IS A TROUBLING CONDITION
00:14 WHERE PEOPLE ARISE IN A STATE OF LOW CONSCIOUSNESS
00:17 AND PERFORM ACTIVITIES NORMALLY PERFORM WHILE AWAKE.
00:20 THESE CAN BE AS HARMLESS
00:21 AS WALK INTO THE BATHROOM OR CLEANING,
00:24 OR AS HAZARDOUS AS DRIVING, STARTING FIRES,
00:27 OR WALKING IN TRAFFIC.
00:29 THE PERSON'S EYES CAN BE OPEN, BUT HAVE A GLASSY LOOK
00:31 RIGHT THROUGH YOU EXPRESSION.
00:34 THESE SLEEPWALKING EPISODES MIGHT LAST 30 SECONDS
00:36 OR 30 MINUTES.
00:38 IN 2005, A 34 YEAR-OLD- MAN
00:41 WAS REPORTEDLY CAUGHT SLEEPWALKING BY HIS WIFE.
00:44 HE WAS MOWING THE LAWN AT 2 AM NAKED.
00:48 HIS WIFE DIDN'T WAKE HIM,
00:49 BUT IN THE MORNING HE DIDN'T BELIEVE HER STORY
00:51 OF WHAT HE'D BEEN UP TO.
00:53 IT WASN'T UNTIL HE LOOKED AT THE SOLES OF HIS FEET
00:55 THAT HE FINALLY BELIEVED HER.
00:57 THEY WERE FILTHY.
00:58 IS IT POSSIBLE TO BE A SLEEPWALKING CHRISTIAN
01:02 WALKING THROUGH LIFE IN A LOW STATE OF CONSCIOUSNESS
01:05 ABOUT THE THINGS OF GOD?
01:07 THE PARABLE OF THE TEN VIRGINS DIVIDES SLEEPING SAINTS
01:10 IN THE CHURCH INTO TWO GROUPS.
01:12 ONLY HALF ARE PREPARED FOR THE BRIDEGROOM'S ARRIVAL.
01:16 ARE YOU PREPARED FOR JESUS' COMING?
01:22 OUR MESSAGE TODAY IS TALKING ABOUT THE PRESENCE OF GOD.
01:26 IN PARTICULAR, I'D LIKE TO GIVE YOU
01:29 FROM A STORY IN THE BIBLE,
01:30 SEVEN STEPS THAT YOU CAN TAKE TO EXPERIENCE
01:34 THE PRESENCE OF GOD.
01:36 MOST OF OUR TIME TODAY IS GOING TO BE LOOKING
01:39 AT A STORY YOU FIND IN EXODUS CHAPTER 33 AND 34.
01:43 SO IF YOU HAVE YOUR BIBLES, YOU MAY WANT TO TURN THERE.
01:46 EXODUS 33, AND I PROBABLY OUGHT TO SET THE STAGE A LITTLE BIT.
01:51 MOST OF YOU KNOW THE STORY IN EXODUS CHAPTER 32.
01:55 GOD HAD GIVEN THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
01:57 TO THE PEOPLE IN, OF COURSE, CHAPTER 20 OF EXODUS.
02:00 MOSES GOES UP THE MOUNTAIN THEN,
02:02 HE GETS THE WRITTEN COPY.
02:04 GOD SPOKE THE TEN COMMANDMENTS IN EXODUS 20.
02:07 HE GOES UP THE MOUNTAIN THEN TO GET THE WRITTEN COPY,
02:09 BUT HE'S UP THERE 40 DAYS AND 40 NIGHTS,
02:12 AND PEOPLE DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS GOING TO TAKE HIM
02:14 SO LONG TO COME BACK.
02:16 AND WHILE THEY KNEW HE'D COME BACK,
02:18 THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHEN AND IN WAITING,
02:19 THEY LOST FAITH.
02:21 NOW, DID JESUS TELL US HE'S COMING BACK?
02:23 BUT SOMETIMES IN THE WAITING, WE LOSE FAITH.
02:26 AND THEY SAID...
02:28 WE DON'T KNOW 'CAUSE MOSES IS GETTING KIND OF OLD
02:30 AND WHO KNOWS WE CAN'T GO UP THE MOUNTAIN
02:31 BECAUSE THE GLORY OF GOD'S UP THERE,
02:32 HE MAY HAVE DIED, LET'S PICK ANOTHER LEADER.
02:35 LET'S GO BACK TO EGYPT.
02:38 MADE A GOLDEN CALF, HAD A WILD PARTY.
02:43 IT SAYS THAT THEY MADE THEMSELVES NAKED,
02:45 SO IT GOT PRETTY WILD.
02:47 AND, YOU KNOW, RIGHT AT THAT CRUCIAL MOMENT.
02:51 MATTER OF FACT, THE PARTY GOT SO RAMBUNCTIOUS SAID,
02:54 JOSHUA SAID, "HURRY, MOSES,
02:56 THERE'S THE SOUND OF WAR IN THE CAMP."
02:58 AND MOSES SHOOK HIS HEAD AND HE SAID,
03:00 "THAT BE OKAY IF IT WAS WAR," HE SAID,
03:01 "BUT THIS IS NOT THE CRY OF THOSE
03:04 WHO CRY FOR BEING OVERCOME,
03:06 NEITHER ARE THEY SHOUTING FOR VICTORY
03:08 BUT IT'S THE VOICE OF THOSE WHO PARTY,"
03:10 IF I CAN PARAPHRASE "THAT I HEAR."
03:14 AND HE CAME DOWN, HE SAW THE GOLDEN CALF
03:16 AND THE PEOPLE DANCING AND CARRYING ON,
03:19 AND HE THREW THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
03:20 OUT OF HIS HAND.
03:22 IT WAS A GREAT SIN AGAINST THE LORD.
03:24 THEY'VE BROKEN ALL THEIR COMMANDMENTS,
03:26 THEY JUST PROMISED TO KEEP.
03:27 THEY HAD SAID, "LORD, YOU'RE OUR GOD,
03:29 WE WANT YOU WITH US."
03:30 AND THEN THEY BROKE ALL HIS COMMANDMENTS.
03:33 MOSES GOES BACK UP THE MOUNTAIN, AND THE LORD...
03:38 LORD IS READY TO WIPE THEM OUT.
03:41 AND SO IT'S DURING THIS TIME OF WAITING
03:43 THAT SOMETHING HAPPENS.
03:44 SO YOU TAKE UP THE STORY NOW IN CHAPTER 34,
03:48 AND YOU'RE ON CHAPTER 33, SORRY.
03:49 EXODUS 33:1, "AND THE LORD SAID TO MOSES,
03:54 'DEPART AND GO UP FROM HERE, YOU AND THE PEOPLE
03:58 WHOM YOU HAVE BROUGHT OUT OF THE LAND OF EGYPT, "
04:01 SAID YOU AND YOUR PEOPLE GO, "WHICH I SWORE TO ABRAHAM,
04:04 ISAAC, AND JACOB, SAYING, 'TO YOUR DESCENDANTS,
04:06 I WILL GIVE IT.'
04:07 AND I WILL SEND MY ANGEL BEFORE YOU,
04:09 AND I WILL DRIVE OUT THE CANAANITES,
04:11 AND THE AMORITES, AND THE HITTITES,
04:12 AND THE PERIZZITES, AND THE HIVITES,
04:14 AND THE JEBUSITES, AND THE TERMITES,
04:15 AND ALL OF THEM.
04:17 AND GO TO THE LAND FLOWING WITH MILK AND HONEY, "
04:19 NOW CATCH THIS, "FOR I WILL NOT GO UP
04:22 IN YOUR MIDST LEST I CONSUME YOU ON THE WAY,
04:26 FOR YOU ARE A STIFF-NECKED PEOPLE."
04:29 THAT'S KIND OF A FRIGHTENING THOUGHT THAT GOD WOULD SAY,
04:31 ALL RIGHT, YOU WANTED THE PROMISED LAND,
04:33 I PROMISE TO GIVE YOU THE PROMISED LAND.
04:35 YOU DON'T SEEM TO WANT ME.
04:38 GO, I'LL GIVE YOU, DELIVER, SO I'LL GIVE YOU THE LAND
04:40 BUT I'M NOT GOING TO GO WITH YOU
04:43 BECAUSE YOU ARE A STUBBORN, AND A PROUD,
04:45 AND A STIFF-NECKED PEOPLE.
04:47 YOU WANT TO DO WHAT YOU WANT TO DO.
04:48 YOU DON'T WANT TO OBEY ME.
04:50 GO, MY PRESENCE WILL NOT GO WITH YOU.
04:52 NOW, WOULD THAT MAKE YOU SHUDDER OR WOULD YOU SAY,
04:55 "WELL, YOU KNOW, LORD, ACTUALLY,
04:56 YOU DO MAKE ME UNCOMFORTABLE,
04:57 BUT I DO WANT THE PROMISED LAND,
04:59 BUT I DON'T WANT YOU.
05:03 HEARD ABOUT A MAN THAT WAS PUSHING HIS CART
05:07 AROUND THE SUPERMARKET, A YOUNG MAN.
05:10 AND HE NOTICED PRETTY SOON THAT THERE IS THIS OLD WOMAN
05:15 THAT HAD HER CART FULL OF STUFF AND SHE WAS FOLLOWING HIM.
05:18 AND HE STOPPED, SHE STOPPED, AND HE LOOKED
05:21 AND SHE'D BE STARING AT HIM.
05:23 HE'D GO UP THE AISLE, SHE'D FOLLOW HIM UP THE AISLE.
05:26 AND THIS WENT ON FOR A WHILE.
05:27 AND FINALLY WHEN HE GOT TO THE CHECKOUT STAND,
05:29 THERE SHE WAS.
05:30 AND SHE SAID, "I HOPE,
05:32 I HAVEN'T MADE YOU UNCOMFORTABLE."
05:35 SHE SAID, "BUT YOU KNOW,
05:36 YOU LOOK SO MUCH LIKE MY LATE SON,
05:40 AND I JUST COULDN'T STOP STARING AT YOU,"
05:42 AND SHE SAID, "YOU KNOW,
05:45 I'M GOING TO TAKE MY STUFF, I'M GOING TO CHECK OUT,
05:48 BUT COULD YOU DO SOMETHING FOR ME?
05:50 IT WOULD MEAN SO MUCH TO ME AS I LEAVE THE STORE
05:54 IF YOU COULD JUST SAY GOODBYE MOM."
05:58 AND SO HE SAID, "SURE."
06:00 SO SHE GOT HER STUFF, SHE GOING OUT THE DOOR.
06:04 HE SAID, "GOODBYE, MOM."
06:05 SHE SMILED AND WAVED BACK.
06:07 AND HE THOUGHT, YOU KNOW, THAT WAS SUCH A SIMPLE THING
06:09 TO MAKE THAT LADY HAPPY TO SAY GOODBYE MOM.
06:11 SO AS HE'S CHECKING OUT, THE BILL COMES TO $121.
06:15 AND HE SAYS TO THE CASHIER, HE SAID, "WHAT'S UP?
06:17 I GOT FIVE THINGS HERE."
06:18 HE SAID, "WELL, YOUR MOTHER SAID,
06:19 YOU WERE PAYING FOR HERS."
06:23 AND SOMETIMES THE CHURCH HAS DONE THAT TO THE LORD.
06:25 WE WANT EVERYTHING GOD CAN GIVE US,
06:27 HE SAYS THIS IN THE PROPHETS, BUT WE DON'T WANT HIM,
06:31 BECAUSE HE MAKES US UNCOMFORTABLE.
06:33 WELL, IF YOU DO WANT THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD,
06:37 I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU SEVEN STEPS
06:39 SO THAT YOU CAN HAVE THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD,
06:41 AND THESE ARE THE STEPS
06:42 THAT WE SEE MOSES GOING THROUGH.
06:44 HOW MUCH DO YOU WANT THE PRESENCE OF GOD?
06:46 IF YOU DON'T WANT IT IN THIS LIFE,
06:47 YOU'RE PROBABLY NOT GOING TO WANT IT IN HEAVEN,
06:49 YOU WON'T GET IT THEN.
06:50 SO IF YOU HUNGER AFTER GOD'S PRESENCE,
06:53 SAY KNOWING THE LORD
06:54 IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING TO YOU,
06:56 YOU CAN.
06:57 FIRST THING IS, YOU NEED TO HAVE A DETERMINATION.
07:01 SO GOD SAYS IN EXODUS 33:15 WHEN MOSES SAID,
07:04 "WE ARE NOT GOING UP WITHOUT YOU."
07:08 HE TOLD THE LORD, LORD SAID, YOU KNOW,
07:09 "I'M NOT GOING, YOU GO."
07:11 AND MOSES SAID,"
07:12 IF YOUR PRESENCE DOES NOT GO WITH US, DO NOT BRING US UP.
07:16 WE ARE NOT GOING WITHOUT YOU."
07:19 IT'S LIKE WHEN JACOB WRESTLED WITH THE LORD THERE,
07:23 AND HE SAID, "I WILL NOT LET YOU GO,
07:25 EXCEPT YOU BLESS ME."
07:27 DO YOU WANT THE BLESSING OF GOD'S PRESENCE?
07:29 DO YOU WANT THE BLESSING OF GOD'S SPIRIT?
07:31 ONE, WHAT DO WE NEED?
07:34 DETERMINATION.
07:36 THERE NEEDS TO BE...
07:37 YOU NEED TO HAVE YOUR MIND SETTLED ON THAT
07:39 NOTHING IS MORE IMPORTANT TO ME THAN GOD.
07:41 HE SAID IN EXODUS 33:17, ALL RIGHT, MOSES,
07:45 "I WILL DO THIS THING THAT YOU'VE SPOKEN OF,
07:47 FOR YOU HAVE FOUND GRACE IN MY SIGHT,
07:49 AND I KNOW YOU BY NAME."
07:50 SO MOSES SAID, "LOOK, LORD, WE ARE NOT GOING WITHOUT YOU."
07:54 SO GOD SAID, "OKAY, IF YOU WANT MY PRESENCE,
07:55 HERE'S WHAT YOU'VE GOT TO DO."
07:57 AND HE GIVES HIM THESE STEPS,
07:59 BUT IT STARTS OUT WITH A DETERMINATION.
08:01 SO NEXT THERE WAS PREPARATION.
08:03 NOW, WE'RE JUMPING TO EXODUS CHAPTER 34.
08:05 AND IF YOU GO TO EXODUS 34,
08:07 GOD GIVES SOME INSTRUCTIONS TO MOSES.
08:11 AND HE SAID IN VERSE 2, "BE READY IN THE MORNING..."
08:16 DOESN'T SAY GET READY, SAID BE READY.
08:18 "AND COME UP IN THE MORNING TO MOUNT SINAI,
08:21 AND PRESENT YOURSELF TO ME ON TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN.
08:25 HE SAID, "YOU NEED TO PREPARE.
08:27 I'M TELLING YOU IN ADVANCE,
08:28 I'M MAKING AN APPOINTMENT WITH YOU.
08:31 I'M WILLING TO MEET WITH YOU.
08:32 ARE YOU GOING TO PUT THAT ON YOUR DAY-TIMER?
08:34 ARE YOU GOING TO MEET WITH ME?"
08:36 DO YOU KNOW THAT SOME PEOPLE
08:37 NEVER EXPERIENCE THE PRESENCE OF GOD
08:39 BECAUSE THEY MISSED THE OPPORTUNITIES
08:41 WHEN GOD MEETS WITH HIS PEOPLE?
08:43 HOW SAD IT WOULD BE
08:44 IF PENTECOST HAPPENED AND YOU STAYED HOME THAT DAY.
08:48 AND THAT'S WHY IT'S IMPORTANT WHEN GOD'S PEOPLE
08:50 GATHER TOGETHER THAT YOU'RE THERE.
08:52 GOD SAYS, "IF THEY MEET, I'M MEETING WITH THEM."
08:54 ARE YOU AND I GOING TO PREPARE TO BE WITH HIM?
08:57 SO THERE'S A PREPARATION THAT HAPPENS IN THE HEART
08:59 BEFORE YOU MEET WITH THE KING.
09:02 IF WE'RE IN THE PRACTICE OF GETTING UP
09:04 AND SEEKING AFTER GOD EVERY DAY,
09:06 SOMETHING HAPPENS TO US IN THE SEEKING.
09:10 YOU MIGHT BE THINKING,
09:11 YOU KNOW, I PRAYED AND NOTHING HAPPENED.
09:12 I READ MY BIBLE, I DIDN'T GET ANYTHING OUT OF IT.
09:15 YOU DON'T REALIZE YOU'RE BEING CHANGED
09:16 IN THE WAYS YOU DON'T KNOW.
09:18 SO PREPARE YOUR HEART EVERY DAY TO SEEK AFTER GOD,
09:21 YOU'RE BEING TRANSFORMED IN THE PROCESS.
09:24 NOW, THE BIBLE SAYS...
09:25 I'LL GIVE YOU A COUPLE OF EXAMPLES, THERE'S MANY.
09:29 IT'S A BAD THING
09:30 IF YOU DON'T SEEK THE PRESENCE OF GOD,
09:31 IF YOU DON'T PREPARE YOUR HEART TO SEEK AFTER GOD.
09:34 FOR EXAMPLE, THE SON OF KING SOLOMON.
09:37 YOU REMEMBER HIS NAME?
09:39 REHOBOAM. REHOBOAM.
09:42 HE DIDN'T LISTEN TO THE WISE COUNSELORS.
09:44 AND THE BIBLE SAYS IN 2 CHRONICLES 12:14,
09:47 "HE DID EVIL
09:48 BECAUSE HE DID NOT PREPARE HIS HEART TO SEEK THE LORD."
09:53 ARE YOU PREPARING YOUR HEART TO SEEK GOD EVERY DAY?
09:56 IS THAT A PRIORITY WITH YOU?
09:58 IF IT'S NOT A PRIORITY,
09:59 IF YOU'RE NOT SEEKING AFTER GOD
10:01 IN YOUR LIFE ON A DAILY BASIS, IF YOUR PRAYER ISN'T LORD,
10:03 GIVE ME THIS DAY OUR DAILY BREAD,
10:06 THEN YOU'RE PROBABLY NOT GOING TO BE READY WHEN JESUS COMES.
10:08 WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO BE IN GOD'S PRESENCE FOR ETERNITY
10:11 IF YOU DON'T WANT TO DO IT
10:12 FOR HALF AN HOUR IN THE MORNING?
10:14 IT'S GOT TO BEGIN BY SEEKING HIS PRESENCE NOW.
10:18 ON THE OTHER HAND, YOU'VE GOT A GOOD KING
10:20 BY THE NAME OF JEHOSHAPHAT.
10:22 IT SAYS IN 2 CHRONICLES 19:3,
10:24 "NEVERTHELESS GOOD THINGS ARE FOUND IN YOU,
10:27 IN THAT YOU HAVE REMOVED THE WOODEN IMAGES"
10:28 YOU'VE OBEYED THE LAND, YOU'VE OBEYED ME
10:31 "AND YOU PREPARED YOUR HEART TO SEEK GOD."
10:34 SO YOU GOT DETERMINATION, YOU HAVE PREPARATION.
10:39 NEXT, YOU HAVE ISOLATION.
10:42 EXODUS 34:3, GOD SAID TO MOSES,
10:46 "AND NO MAN SHALL COME UP WITH YOU,
10:49 AND LET NO MAN BE SEEN THROUGHOUT ALL THE MOUNTAIN..."
10:52 YOU NEED PERSONAL TIME WITH GOD.
10:54 I KNOW THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT COME TO CHURCH
10:57 AND THEY LIKE MAYBE THE SOCIAL INTERACTION.
11:00 BUT THEY DON'T HAVE THEIR PERSONAL TIME
11:03 WHERE JESUS IS YOUR PERSONAL SAVIOR.
11:05 I USED TO WONDER WHY THESE PASTORS WOULD SAY,
11:07 "IS THE LORD JESUS, YOUR PERSONAL SAVIOR?"
11:11 ARE YOU JUST DOING IT SORT OF AS A GROUP THING,
11:12 OR BECAUSE YOUR PARENTS WERE IN THE CHURCH,
11:14 OR DO YOU HAVE A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD?
11:18 YOU NOTICE GOD SAID TO MOSES, "I KNOW YOU.
11:20 YOU'RE MY FRIEND."
11:21 HE TALKED TO HIM FACE TO FACE AS A MAN TALKS TO HIS FRIEND
11:24 BECAUSE HE HAD A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP.
11:26 HOW DO YOU GET THAT?
11:28 BY SPENDING TIME ALONE WITH GOD.
11:30 IT CANNOT ALWAYS BE GROUP THERAPY.
11:33 GATHERING TOGETHER FOR CORPORATE WORSHIP
11:35 IS VERY IMPORTANT.
11:37 HOPEFULLY YOU'LL BE BLESSED BY BEING HERE TODAY.
11:39 BUT DO YOU HAVE PERSONAL TIME WITH GOD?
11:42 AND THERE'S A LOT OF BIBLE EXAMPLES FOR THAT.
11:44 ABRAHAM WAS ALONE WITH GOD
11:47 WHEN GOD GAVE HIS COVENANT TO HIM.
11:48 GIDEON WAS THRESHING WHEAT ALONE WITH GOD.
11:51 AND WHEN YOU'RE WORKING IN THE WORLD ALONE,
11:52 YOU'RE THRESHING WHEAT.
11:54 ELIJAH WAS ALONE IN THE WILDERNESS,
11:57 GOD SPOKE TO HIM.
11:58 PAUL WAS ALONE IN ARABIA AND IN JAIL.
12:02 JOHN WAS ALONE ON PATMOS.
12:04 JESUS WENT OUT A GREAT
12:06 WHILE BEFORE IT WAS DAY TO PRAY ALONE.
12:10 NOW, IF THE LORD DOES IT, THAT'S A PRETTY GOOD EXAMPLE
12:12 FOR YOU AND ME.
12:13 YOU WANT TO SEE THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD?
12:16 YOU NEED TO SEEK AFTER HIM, FIND TIME.
12:19 SOMETIMES SOMEBODY SAID THAT, THAT SPECIAL TIME WITH GOD
12:23 ISN'T FOUND, IT'S MADE.
12:24 IN OTHER WORDS,
12:25 DON'T HOPE THAT YOU RUN INTO THAT PRIVATE TIME,
12:27 YOU NEED TO SET AN APPOINTMENT WITH GOD.
12:29 IT'S SOMETHING YOU PREPARE FOR.
12:32 DON'T GO ANYWHERE, FRIENDS, WE'RE GOING TO BE BACK IN JUST
12:34 A MOMENT TO COMPLETE TODAY'S PRESENTATION.
12:36 HAVE YOU EVER HAD FRIENDS ASK YOU IF GOD IS GOOD
12:38 AND IF HE'S LOVING THEN WHY IS THERE EVIL?
12:41 WHY DO THE INNOCENT SUFFER?
12:42 WE HAVE A VERY SPECIAL, POWERFUL DVD DOCUMENTARY
12:46 WE'D LIKE TO SEND YOU FOR FREE.
12:48 IT'S CALLED "THE COSMIC CONFLICT."
12:50 THIS COMPELLING MOVIE TRACES THE ORIGIN OF SIN
12:53 AND TALKS ABOUT LUCIFER'S REBELLION.
12:55 IT HELPS US UNDERSTAND WHY THERE IS EVIL IN THE WORLD TODAY
12:58 AND MORE IMPORTANTLY HOW YOU CAN HAVE VICTORY OVER SIN.
13:02 TO GET YOUR FREE COPY CALL THE PHONE NUMBER ON THE YOU SCREEN
13:05 AND ASK FOR OFFER #809
13:07 OR VISIT THE WEB ADDRESS,
13:09 AND AFTER YOU WATCH THIS INCREDIBLE RESOURCE
13:11 PLEASE SURE AND SHARE IT WITH A FRIEND.
13:14 SO, HOW ABOUT WE GET BACK TO TODAY'S PRESENTATION
13:16 AND LEARN SOME MORE AMAZING FACTS FROM THE WORD OF GOD.
13:20 ALL RIGHT, WE TALKED ABOUT THE PREPARATION,
13:23 DETERMINATION, THE ISOLATION, NOW EXPECTATION.
13:28 WHEN YOU DO THIS,
13:29 EXPECT THAT GOD IS GOING TO KEEP HIS WORD,
13:33 AND HE'S GOING TO SPEAK TO YOU.
13:35 SO WHEN GOD CALLS MOSES BACK ON THE MOUNTAIN,
13:38 HE SAYS IN EXODUS 34,
13:40 "HE CUT TWO TABLETS OF STONE LIKE THE FIRST ONES.
13:44 AND MOSES ROSE EARLY IN THE MORNING,
13:46 AND HE WENT UP MOUNT SINAI, AS THE LORD HAD COMMANDED HIM,
13:50 AND HE TOOK IN HIS HAND THE TWO TABLETS OF STONE."
13:55 SO YOU'RE BRINGING ME UP SOMETHING,
13:57 YOU'RE EXPECTING FOR ME TO WRITE THE WORD FOR YOU.
14:01 YOU'RE EXPECTING FOR ME TO COMMUNICATE WITH YOU.
14:03 YOU'RE EXPECTING FOR ME TO MEET WITH YOU.
14:06 AND SO HE DID WHAT HE WAS TOLD.
14:08 HE ROSE UP EARLY IN THE MORNING.
14:11 HE GOES UP THE MOUNTAIN, HE'S GOT A PRAYER IN HIS HEART,
14:13 LORD, PLEASE SHOW ME YOUR GLORY.
14:16 NOW, WHAT DOES IT MEAN WHEN HE CAME UP
14:18 AND GOD WAS GOING TO WRITE SOMETHING FOR MOSES?
14:22 WHERE DO WE WANT GOD TO WRITE?
14:23 WHERE'S THE NEW COVENANT?
14:26 IT'S WRITTEN ON THE HEART.
14:27 SO WHEN YOU COME, YOU EXPECT THE LORD
14:29 TO WRITE SOMETHING ON YOUR HEART.
14:31 IT TELLS US THAT "THIS IS THE COVENANT
14:33 I WILL MAKE WITH THEM AFTER THOSE DAYS,
14:35 SAYS THE LORD: I'LL PUT MY LAW INTO THEIR HEARTS,
14:38 AND IN THEIR MINDS I WILL WRITE THEM."
14:41 SOMEONE SAID,
14:42 "DUSTY BIBLES LEAD TO DIRTY LIVES."
14:44 WE NEED TO BE ASKING GOD TO TAKE HIS WORDS.
14:47 WE BRING THESE TABLETS AND WE SAY,
14:49 YOU KNOW, THE REASON THAT THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
14:51 WERE WRITTEN ON TWO STONES
14:52 THAT REALLY REPRESENTS THE DUAL NATURE OF THE LAW.
14:55 IT'S A SWORD WITH TWO EDGES.
14:57 IT'S LIKE THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS,
14:58 MOSES, ELIJAH, THE NEW AND THE OLD TESTAMENT.
15:01 AND SO WE COME UP WITH THE WORD OF GOD,
15:03 AND WE WANT GOD THEN TO WRITE ON OUR HEARTS.
15:06 EZEKIEL 3:10, "MOREOVER HE SAID TO ME:
15:08 'SON OF MAN, RECEIVE IN YOUR HEART
15:10 ALL MY WORDS THAT I SPEAK TO YOU,
15:13 AND HEAR WITH YOUR EARS."
15:15 BEING ABLE TO TAKE IT IN.
15:17 WE GOT TWO EARS, LIKE THOSE TWO TABLETS.
15:20 WE WANT GOD TO WRITE HIS WORD ON OUR HEART.
15:22 IF YOU COME TO CHURCH TO PRAY FOR RAIN,
15:25 THEN BRING YOUR UMBRELLA.
15:27 THAT'S CALLED EXPECTATION.
15:30 ARE YOU EXPECTING SOMETHING?
15:32 AND SOMETIMES PEOPLE COME TO CHURCH
15:34 AND THEY GOT THE ATTITUDE, OH, I GOT TO GO.
15:36 I DON'T EVER EXPECT TO GET ANYTHING.
15:37 WELL, YOU WON'T.
15:39 YOU KNOW, JESUS SAID,
15:40 "BE IT UNTO YOU ACCORDING TO YOUR FAITH."
15:43 IF YOU MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF SEEKING AFTER GOD,
15:46 SPENDING TIME ALONE WITH GOD,
15:49 PRAYING THAT HE'LL REVEAL HIS GLORY TO YOU,
15:51 THEN BELIEVE HE WANTS TO.
15:54 EXPECT SOMETHING FROM GOD.
15:56 THAT'S PART OF THE ANSWERED PRAYER IS BELIEVING.
15:59 AND SO YOU GOT EXPECTATION.
16:01 AND WHEN YOU DO THAT, THEN YOU HAVE A REVELATION.
16:05 GOD KEEPS HIS PROMISE.
16:07 EXODUS 33:21,
16:10 "AND THE LORD SAID TO HIM, 'HERE IS A PLACE BY ME..."
16:13 THIS IS WHEN HE COMES UP THE MOUNTAIN.
16:14 "AND YOU WILL STAND ON THE ROCK.
16:16 SO IT WILL BE, WHILE MY GLORY PASSES BY,
16:19 THAT I WILL PUT YOU IN THE CLEFT OF THE ROCK,
16:21 AND I'LL COVER YOU WITH MY HAND WHILE I PASS BY.
16:24 AND I'LL TAKE AWAY MY HAND, AND YOU SHALL SEE...
16:27 YOU'LL SEE MY BACK, MY FACE WILL NOT BE SEEN."
16:30 IT SAYS IN EXODUS 34:5 WHEN GOD FINALLY DOES THIS.
16:35 "NOW THE LORD DESCENDED IN THE CLOUD
16:37 AND HE STOOD WITH HIM THERE,
16:39 AND HE PROCLAIMED THE NAME OF THE LORD."
16:41 WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT THE NAME OF THE LORD,
16:43 DOING THIS IN THE NAME OF THE LORD,
16:44 AND PRAYING IN THE NAME OF THE LORD,
16:45 WHAT DOES IT MEAN IN THE NAME OF THE LORD?
16:48 IT'S MUCH MORE THAN
16:49 THE UTTERANCE OF A CERTAIN NAME.
16:52 YOU KNOW, THERE'S KIND OF A WHOLE DIVERSION,
16:55 BUNCH OF PEOPLE GETTING DISTRACTED
16:57 WITH HOW YOU PRONOUNCE THE NAME OF GOD.
17:00 HAVE YOU RUN INTO THAT?
17:01 THEY'VE EVEN GOT SEPARATE BIBLE TRANSLATIONS.
17:03 THEY SAY, "YOU CAN'T SAY JESUS ANYMORE.
17:05 YOU GOT TO SAY YESHUA."
17:07 AND YOU DON'T SAY THE LORD OR ELOHIM,
17:09 YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO SAY YAHWEH.
17:11 AND NO ONE REALLY KNOWS WHETHER IT WAS JEHOVAH OR YAHWEH
17:13 BECAUSE IT'S STILL A MYSTERY
17:15 WITH HOW TO PRONOUNCE THOSE SACRED WORDS.
17:18 BUT THE EMPHASIS OF GOD IN THE BIBLE
17:20 IS NEVER ON THE PRONUNCIATION WHEN IT TALKS ABOUT
17:23 THE NAME OF THE LORD.
17:24 IT MEANS THE SPIRIT OF GOD AND WHO GOD IS,
17:27 KNOWING WHO HE IS.
17:29 WHAT IS ETERNAL LIFE?
17:31 JOHN 17.
17:33 "THIS IS LIFE ETERNAL, THAT THEY MIGHT KNOW THEE
17:36 AND THE ONLY TRUE GOD, WHO HE HAS SENT.
17:40 KNOWING JESUS CHRIST, KNOWING THE FATHER.
17:42 THIS IS ETERNAL LIFE.
17:43 WHAT WILL THE LORD SAY TO THE LOST?
17:46 I DON'T KNOW YOU.
17:48 SO WE NEED TO EXPERIENCE THE PRESENCE OF GOD.
17:51 IF WE'RE NOT GOING TO HEAR HIM SAY,
17:52 I DON'T KNOW YOU, THEN WE NEED TO KNOW HIM NOW.
17:55 AMEN?
17:56 THAT THEN LEADS TO ADORATION AND WORSHIP.
17:59 AND YOU READ HERE IN EXODUS 34:8.
18:02 "SO MOSES MADE HASTE AND HE BOWED HIS HEAD
18:05 TOWARDS THE EARTH, AND WORSHIPED."
18:07 YOU KNOW, WE CAN'T REALLY WORSHIP GOD
18:09 UNLESS WE KNOW GOD.
18:10 WE CAN'T KNOW HIM UNLESS WE TAKE TIME TO KNOW HIM.
18:14 MOSES PREPARED HIMSELF WHEN HE WENT UP THE MOUNTAIN.
18:17 HAVE YOU NOTICED IN THE BIBLE, HOW OFTEN
18:18 THE GREAT PROPHETS AND KINGS
18:20 WHEN THEY GOT A GLIMPSE OF THE GLORY OF GOD,
18:23 IT INSPIRED THEM TO REAL WORSHIP.
18:27 THEY UNDERSTOOD SOMETHING ABOUT THE GREATNESS OF GOD.
18:30 SOME PEOPLE THINK WE'RE OLD FASHIONED
18:32 BECAUSE WE STILL AT SOME POINT DURING OUR WORSHIP SERVICE,
18:35 WE GET ON OUR KNEES THOSE WHO ARE ABLE.
18:38 AND IT'S BECAUSE BY OUR PHYSICAL POSTURE
18:41 WE ARE SAYING SOMETHING ABOUT THE GLORY OF GOD.
18:45 AND IT'S IMPORTANT, IT SAID, DANIEL KNELT ON HIS KNEES,
18:49 PAUL KNELT ON HIS KNEES, JESUS KNELT,
18:51 SOLOMON GOT ON HIS KNEES.
18:53 WE'RE TALKING OF THE KING OF KINGS
18:54 AND IT REPRESENTS
18:55 THAT YOU'RE RECOGNIZING WHO HE IS,
18:59 AND WE HUMBLE OURSELVES BEFORE HIM.
19:00 MOSES FELL DOWN TO WORSHIP.
19:02 WHEN EZEKIEL SAW GOD.
19:04 YOU CAN READ THIS IN EZEKIEL 1 AND EZEKIEL 3:23,
19:08 "BEHOLD, THE GLORY OF THE LORD STOOD THERE,
19:11 LIKE THE GLORY THAT I SAW BY THE RIVER CHEBAR,
19:13 AND I FELL ON MY FACE BEFORE THAT GLORY."
19:17 THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED TO DANIEL WHEN HE SAW THE GLORY OF GOD.
19:19 IT'S WHAT HAPPENED TO JOHN.
19:21 YOU READ REVELATION 1:17,
19:23 "AND WHEN I SAW HIM, I FELL AT HIS FEET AS DEAD."
19:27 THIS IS A HOLY APOSTLE WHO WALKED WITH JESUS.
19:29 WHEN HE SAW THE UNVEILED GLORY OF JESUS, HE COULDN'T BEAR IT.
19:33 HE FELL DOWN BEFORE HIM.
19:35 AND JESUS PUT OUT HIS HAND AND TOUCHED HIM, HE SAID,
19:37 "DON'T BE AFRAID."
19:39 GOD IS A LOVING GOD, BUT HE'S A POWERFUL GOD.
19:42 YOU KNOW, THIS IS SOMETHING I THINK WE ALL STRUGGLE WITH,
19:44 FINDING THE BALANCE BETWEEN JESUS IS OUR FRIEND,
19:47 HE'S OUR SAVIOR.
19:49 BUT DON'T FORGET, HE'S A KING.
19:51 HE IS A MIGHTY KING.
19:53 AND, YOU KNOW, SOME PEOPLE TALK ABOUT ADDRESSING
19:55 THE LORD IN THIS VERY BUDDY-BUDDY WAY.
19:56 AND I THINK YOU GOT TO BE CAREFUL
19:58 BECAUSE WE CAN LOSE AN IDEA.
20:00 YOU LOSE A CONCEPT OF THE MAJESTY OF GOD.
20:02 YOU KNOW WHAT THAT DOES?
20:04 IT DIMINISHES YOUR CONCEPT OF THE WICKEDNESS OF SIN.
20:08 UNDERSTANDING SOMETHING ABOUT HIS HOLINESS AND HIS MAJESTY,
20:12 IT LEADS TO THAT, THAT WORSHIP.
20:15 AND THEN YOU GO TO THE SEVENTH PART.
20:17 AFTER HE'S SEEN THE GLORY OF GOD REVEALED,
20:21 HE WORSHIPS GOD,
20:23 AND THE NEXT THING AFTER YOU'VE HAD THAT EXPERIENCE WITH GOD
20:26 IS YOU THINK OF OTHERS,
20:29 AND THAT'S WHEN YOU COME TO MEDIATION.
20:32 MOSES WAS THE GREAT MEDIATOR.
20:35 IT'S VERY SIMPLE, BUT SOME OF YOU REMEMBER
20:37 THE OLD GAS STOVES.
20:38 NOW THEY'RE VERY COMPLEX AND COMPUTERIZED,
20:40 BUT I REMEMBER GRANDMA'S STOVE
20:42 THAT HAD THE KNOB AND THESE ARE THREE WORDS,
20:45 IT HAD LOW, MEDIUM, AND HIGH.
20:50 MEDIUM GOES BETWEEN LOW AND HIGH.
20:54 WE'RE LOW, GOD IS HIGH.
20:57 WE NEED A MEDIATOR WHO'S IN THE MIDDLE.
21:01 MOSES WAS A TYPE OF THAT.
21:03 THE PEOPLE SAID WHEN THEY SAW THE GLORY OF GOD,
21:05 THEY HEARD THEM, THE MOUNTAIN WAS ON SMOKE AND SHAKING,
21:08 AND THE THUNDERS, AND THE LIGHTNINGS, THEY SAID,
21:11 "DON'T LET GOD TALK TO US ANYMORE.
21:14 YOU TALK TO HIM.
21:15 YOU TELL US WHAT HE SAID.
21:17 YOU BE OUR MEDIATOR."
21:19 YOU AND I SHOULD BE THANKFUL JESUS CAME
21:22 BECAUSE HE IS THE MEDIATOR BETWEEN GOD AND MAN.
21:25 HE CAME, HE SAID, "IF YOU'VE SEEN ME,
21:27 YOU'VE SEEN THE FATHER.
21:28 AS MUCH AS YOU CAN HANDLE,
21:30 I'VE COME TO SHOW YOU THE FATHER."
21:32 AND SO MOSES THEN BEGINS TO MEDIATE.
21:34 AS SOON AS HE WORSHIPS GOD,
21:36 HE THEN BEGINS TO THINK ABOUT OTHERS.
21:38 AFTER YOU HAVE THE VERTICAL RELATIONSHIP, LOVE FOR GOD,
21:41 AND GOD REVEALS HIS PRESENCE TO YOU, WHAT'S THE NEXT THING?
21:45 LOVE THE LORD WITH ALL YOUR HEART.
21:47 WHAT'S THE NEXT COMMAND?
21:49 YOUR NEIGHBOR.
21:50 HE STARTS THINKING ABOUT THE PEOPLE OF GOD.
21:52 HE SAYS, "I'VE SEEN THE GLORY OF GOD."
21:54 WHAT ABOUT THE PEOPLE OF GOD?
21:55 READ EXODUS 34:9,
21:58 "THEN HE SAID, 'NOW IF I HAVE FOUND GRACE IN YOUR SIGHT,
22:00 O LORD, MY LORD, I PRAY, GO AMONG US,
22:05 EVEN THOUGH WE ARE A STIFF-NECKED PEOPLE,
22:08 PARDON OUR INIQUITY AND OUR SIN..."
22:10 HE BEGINS TO INTERCEDE.
22:12 YOU BECOME INTERCESSORS, MEDIATORS.
22:16 DO YOU JUST PRAY FOR YOUR NEEDS OR DO YOU PRAY FOR THE NEEDS OF
22:19 OTHERS?
22:21 PHILIP YANCEY WROTE A BOOK ON PRAYER AND HE TALKED ABOUT
22:22 A SOLDIER IN IRAQ
22:24 WHO WAS STATIONED THERE GET RELIEF.
22:27 HE HEARD FROM HIS WIFE THAT SHE HAD A VERY SERIOUS STAGE
22:33 OF CERVICAL CANCER.
22:34 AND THEY HAD A FIVE YEAR OLD BOY
22:36 AND THE PROGNOSIS WASN'T GOOD WITHOUT SOME
22:40 MIRACULOUS INTERVENTION.
22:42 AND THAT SOLDIER, HE SENT A NOTE,
22:44 AN EMAIL TO HIS CHURCH AND HE SAID,
22:46 "PLEASE PRAY FOR CINDY.
22:50 AND THEN AFTER YOU PRAY FOR HER,
22:53 FORWARD THIS TO ANYONE YOU KNOW TO PRAY FOR HER."
22:56 YOU EVER GOTTEN AN EMAIL LIKE THAT?
22:59 AND HE WANTED EVERYBODY TO INTERCEDE.
23:01 I GOT A QUESTION FOR YOU.
23:04 THE BIBLE SAYS, "THE FERVENT,
23:05 EFFECTUAL PRAYER OF A RIGHTEOUS MAN
23:07 AVAILS MUCH."
23:09 IS GOD MORE LIKELY TO ANSWER A PRAYER WHERE MANY PRAY?
23:14 ARE YOU AFRAID TO ANSWER THAT?
23:17 IS THERE ADDITIONAL POWER IN CORPORATE PRAYER
23:20 AS OPPOSED TO A SINGLE PRAYER?
23:22 I THINK SO.
23:23 IF THE EFFECTUAL PRAYER OF A SINGLE RIGHTEOUS MAN
23:26 AVAILS MUCH, WHAT IF YOU GET A WHOLE ROOM FULL OF THEM?
23:28 YEAH.
23:29 IF MY PEOPLE
23:31 WHICH ARE CALLED BY MY NAME WILL HUMBLE
23:33 THEMSELVES AND PRAY, THEN I WILL HEAR FROM HEAVEN.
23:36 SO I DO THINK THERE'S ADDED WEIGHT
23:38 IN COLLECTIVE PRAYER.
23:41 AND SO, AFTER YOU PRAYED FOR YOUR FAMILY
23:43 AND YOUR RESPECTIVE NEEDS,
23:44 YOU SHOULD BE INTERCEDING FOR OTHERS.
23:47 AMEN?
23:48 AND THEN AS A RESULT OF ALL THIS,
23:50 NOTICE WHAT HAPPENS.
23:52 MOSES SPENDS HIS TIME ON THE MOUNTAIN.
23:54 YOU'VE GONE THROUGH YOUR SEVEN STEPS.
23:57 HE'S EXPERIENCING THE PRESENCE OF GOD,
23:59 HE SEES THE GLORY OF GOD,
24:00 AND THEN YOU GET AN ADDED BENEFIT.
24:02 IT'S CALLED TRANSFORMATION.
24:05 IT SAYS IN EXODUS 34:29,
24:07 "NOW IT WAS SO, THAT WHEN MOSES CAME DOWN FROM MOUNT SINAI,
24:11 AND THE TWO TABLETS OF THE TESTIMONY
24:13 WERE IN HIS HAND,
24:15 HE CAME DOWN FROM THE MOUNTAIN,
24:16 MOSES DID NOT KNOW THE SKIN OF HIS FACE SHONE."
24:19 LOOK AT PAUL REFERS TO THIS EXPERIENCE IN 2 CORINTHIANS 3,
24:24 YOU COULD READ THE WHOLE CHAPTER,
24:25 I WON'T DO THAT NOW.
24:27 BUT IF YOU READ VERSES 7, HE SAID,
24:29 "BUT THE MINISTRY OF DEATH,
24:30 WRITTEN AND ENGRAVED ON STONES,"
24:32 MEANING THE OLD COVENANT,
24:33 "IF IT WAS GLORIOUS,
24:34 AND THAT GLORY WAS SO GREAT THAT THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL
24:37 COULD NOT LOOK DIRECTLY INTO THE FACE OF MOSES,
24:40 BECAUSE OF THE GLORY OF HIS COUNTENANCE,
24:42 WHICH GLORY WAS PASSING AWAY..."
24:43 IT WOULD EVENTUALLY FADE.
24:45 "HOW MUCH MORE WILL THE MINISTRY OF THE SPIRIT
24:48 BE MORE GLORIOUS WHEN WE HAVE THE REAL LAW OF GOD
24:50 WRITTEN IN OUR HEARTS?
24:53 FOR IF WHAT WAS PASSING AWAY WAS GLORIOUS,
24:55 WHAT REMAINS IS MUCH MORE GLORIOUS."
24:58 AND I ESPECIALLY LOVE THE LAST VERSE IN THAT CHAPTER.
25:01 2 CORINTHIANS 3:18,
25:04 "BUT WE ALL WITH UNVEILED FACE BEHOLDING AS
25:07 IN A MIRROR THE GLORY OF THE LORD,
25:09 ARE BEING TRANSFORMED
25:11 INTO THE SAME IMAGE FROM GLORY TO GLORY,
25:14 JUST AS BY THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD."
25:17 A CHRISTIAN IS A FOLLOWER OF CHRIST,
25:19 IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO BE TRANSFORMED.
25:20 MOSES WAS GLOWING LIKE GOD BECAUSE HE SPENT TIME WITH GOD.
25:24 IF YOU WANT TO LOOK LIKE JESUS, SPEND TIME WITH JESUS.
25:28 YOU'VE GOT TO BE LOOKING INTO HIS BEAUTIFUL FACE
25:30 AS THAT SONG SAID,
25:33 "TURN YOUR EYES UPON JESUS."
25:35 IT SAYS, "AS STARING,
25:37 BEHOLDING AS IN A MIRROR THE GLORY OF THE LORD,
25:40 WE ARE BEING TRANSFORMED."
25:42 YOU EVER HEARD THE EXPRESSION, CHANGE BY BEHOLDING.
25:46 OUR SOULS ARE SOMETHING LIKE A PHOTOGRAPHIC PLATE.
25:49 IT DOESN'T MATTER IF IT'S THE OLD
25:51 FILM OR THE MODERN DIGITAL CAMERA.
25:53 THEY BOTH USE THE SAME PRINCIPLE.
25:55 LIGHT IS CAPTURED WHETHER IT'S DONE BY THE CHIPS ON THE DISK
25:59 OR IT'S DONE BY THE PLATE, LIGHT IS CAPTURED,
26:01 AND IMAGE IS CAPTURED, AND IT'S RETAINED.
26:03 YOUR SOULS ARE TRANSFORMED INTO WHAT YOU LOOK AT.
26:08 THAT'S WHY IDOLATRY IS SO AWFUL TO GOD.
26:12 IT'S AN ABOMINATION
26:13 BECAUSE IT LOWERS YOUR CONCEPT OF WHAT GOD IS
26:15 AND IT LOWERS YOU.
26:17 IF YOU SPEND TIME IN THE PRESENCE OF GOD,
26:20 IT CHANGES YOU AND YOU ARE ELEVATED.
26:24 SO WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT?
26:27 WHAT ARE YOU BEHOLDING?
26:28 CHRIST SAID, "IF I AM LIFTED UP,
26:30 I WILL DRAW ALL MEN."
