Episode Summary

Walking with God will affect our family and relationships. How? When we submit to God's word He begins to work in our lives, to train us and to bring our relationships into covenant with Him.

Episode Notes

Once we begin to obey God, He begins to move in our lives and hearts. In the last podcast, we talked about the 7 things that will change in our life. We finished the first 3 points. Here are the next 4. 

Exodus 4 Part 3 In Exodus 4 Part 3 we will deal with the other 4 items.

1. Walking with God will affect our marriage and immediate family. Trying to obey the word of God may bring some hidden areas of marriage, we don't like to discuss, into the light. Why did God want to kill Moses? Moses hadn't obeyed God in his family because Moses did not circumcise one of his sons according to the Abraham covenant. (Gen 17:14) Because Moses had not, the son of Moses was to be "cut off from his people." The lesson we can learn is that our family must be in covenant with the Lord. Let's seek His wisdom on how to accomplish His will in our families. Podcast part 3 will deal with this strange passage.
2. Walking with God will affect our extended family. Aaron was told by the Lord to meet Moses. Moses shared with Aaron all that the Lord had spoken and that they were to be a team to carry out the will of God. Aaron was now on board. Essentially, Moses shared the gospel (good news) that God was coming to redeem His people out of Egypt. Aaron responded. So often though, in our families, this is not the outcome. Let's press on to win others! 
3. Obeying God impacted their community. Aaron and Moses gathered the elders together and shared all that God had spoken, and as a result, it produced worship. We can take away from this that obeying the word of God is worship. God cares for us all. But He wants us lined up with His Kingdom purposes. What will you decide?
4. Obeying and walking with God will affect the government if that is God's will. If we share according to God's will, He will deal with the results.

In our next podcast in Exodus 5, we see that people oppose the will of God and that we are to expect this opposition. Join Ric and Mary Joyner for this fun and interesting Scripture.

Episode Summary

Do you long for adventure? What if it can happen when you decide to obey God? It can and will because you were made to serve God. He will start you on a journey that will change all areas of your life.

Episode Notes

In our previous podcast, we discussed God becoming angry at Moses's unbelief. If we want to make God angry, that is the place to start---unbelief. Denying His existence in this beautifully ordered world is foolish. But once we have asked Christ into our lives, we are going to be confronted with obedience to God's word. We were not prepared for the impact of correctly studying God's word had on our life when we first started. But this lack of understanding makes sense because Moses struggled in the beginning, and so did the disciples. Can we expect anything different? NO!

We understand from Judaism that our life, which is given to us from God, is for the express purpose of worshiping and serving God. But as our Creator, He gives us free will and then invites us to go into service to Him willingly. Rarely do people accept this call. Moses almost didn't. Will we? In these passages, our entire life is being affected by our decision to take this service from God. Sometimes we "compartmentalize" our walk with the Lord into separate focuses. We must not.

So, what are the six things that happened to Moses after he decided to start walking with the Lord?

1. Obeying God's word is walking with God. You become a disciple. Christ is the word of God (John 1:1) Moses started walking in obedience and repentance to the Word the Lord gave to him about confronting Pharaoh. Thus, a newness of a relationship with God begins. We know this to be true in our lives. 
2. Obeying God produces the fruit of repentance. Repentance begins to soften our hearts toward God. Sin produces hard hearts. We will see a hard heart with Pharaoh. Before this, we see some evidence of God opposing Moses. Pride and stubbornness to obey are at the heart of our resistance. God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble. Here is a side opinion: He wants to provide us with revelation. We fight it. Our flesh is opposed to the will of God. The counter to our flesh is the Bible. It is our instruction from the Lord. Want to be a disciple of Christ? Submit your heart and start walking in repentance. Repentance is lining up with the will of God to perform it. Get moving! We did, and it changed our lives!
3. Obeying God will affect your employment. Moses continued in the fruits of repentance as he went to engage his employer, which happened to be his father in law. He returned (same word as repentance) to his father in law to quit his job to complete the assignment God had instructed Him. Moses' obedience was hard on Jethro because it meant he could lose his grandsons and his daughter in their journey to follow Moses to save the children of Israel. Pharaoh was the ruler of the world! In our "work-life" as well, God expects us to obey His word regardless of the potential outcomes. But isn't this how an excellent adventure is crafted?

This is a tough Psalm for David. When we have troubles in our life, sometimes they are a consequence of our own actions even if we have repented and turned back toward God from the evil of the consequence. Absolam is attempting to steal David's throne by disrespecting his father David. Psalms are born in trials and troubles.

Will we learn to worship during these times? Will we trust God or become angry and depend on ourselves? As you learn with us to worship in Psalms, go read the story of David and Absolam. It is a tragedy for Absolam and David. But David, unlike Absolam, is restored. Why? Because David turned to the Lord, AS HE WAS BEING CHASED OUT OF HIS KINGDOM! Read the Psalm while reading the story. But look on your own life and make it your own through praying it back to the Lord. Absolam was in rebellion to God. His name means "Father of Peace". Peace in Hebrew has a very deep context to it. But the best peace we can have is peace with God through salvation and repentance. Absolam was not acting toward his father with peace nor with God. He was rebelling against two fathers! Will we? Join us for this wonderful Psalm to learn to worship which is our highest calling.

Exodus Chapter 4 Part 1 Are you an honest person?

Why do we need to study the Bible? Because God has given us the Word of God to reveal Himself to us. We discuss this fact in this podcast for pewsitters. God is outside space and time. How can we, a created being for God's purposes, understand a God, Who can create the universe by speaking it into existence? Through the Bible. WOW think about that! Isn't that truth exciting? Let's ask more questions.

Are we experiencing revelation in your bible study? Several questions we must ask ourselves.

1. Are you an honest person?
2. Do we see a progression in our life toward God's will? This question matters because of what the Lord said in Matthew 7:21-24 21 "Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. 22 "Many will say to Me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?' 23 "And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.' 24 "Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them, may be compared to a wise man who built his house on the rock.”
3. And what will it cost you to study the Bible?
4. And are you willing to be "just" a servant of God?

If you are not in God's word, you can trick yourself into believing what you are doing or changing in your life is according to what God wants, but maybe our motives and maybe what WE desire vs. what God desires. Is this the way God wants us to approach the Bible? No.

We will see several progressions of Moses that we can apply to our life:

1. Prayer progression. Moses is growing in his relationship with God in communication
2. Revelation progression. Moses is growing in revelation to the will of God
3. Relationship progression. Moses is getting to know Who God is
4. Obedience progression is tied to listening and acting on God's word
5. Walking with the Lord means He is walking through life with us. And many things will come into your life that you have no control over, and we need to look at these and pay attention.  

Thus, honesty to God, to ourselves and others, is paramount in our life. Psalm 32 discusses deceit in the context of sin. Blessed are those whose sin is covered!

We are made in the image of God. We reflect His righteousness out to the world. But where do we get His righteousness? From Him, and the Bible. How do we line up with the plans and purposes of God?

Do you ask questions of God from the Bible, or do you question God? Big difference.

When we line up with God's plans and purposes such as Moses in Exodus 4, we will have revelation from God. So how soon do you want to do this, and what will it cost you?

EPISODE NOTES
What is next on the prophetic calendar? People we encountered have said; "It doesn't feel right in the world, and something is wrong." We agree. There is something unsettled, and it is the events that are rising, as if from the turbulent "sea" of political chaos. Nations are indeed rising against nation and religious persecution around the world is at an all-time high. Churches seem to be oblivious to the needs of people and God's call to preach the word of God and make disciples. Can we know what is happening and when? Dr. Baruch opens up the Scripture to see the next events on God's timeline. But are you ready? Are you a Kingdom-minded person? Don't know how to be? This podcast will get you started. The first place is to get on our face before the Lord Jesus. Then ask for a new heart in our fight against sin and for help in living a praiseworthy life to Him. He wants us to be ready. That can only happen with a submitted heart to the Lord. Join us for this podcast.
