1
00:00:01,199 --> 00:00:03,839
Speaker 1: Most of us eat every day, some of us too

2
00:00:03,919 --> 00:00:07,759
much because yesterday's food is not enough to supply energy

3
00:00:07,799 --> 00:00:11,560
for today's needs. Why then, do some of us expect

4
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:15,039
yesterday's portion of heavenly manna the word of God to

5
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:19,000
keep us through today's challenges. On this program, we are

6
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:22,879
going to change all of that. Let's experience God's words

7
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:25,920
today and receive the power we need to live healthy,

8
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:30,839
vibrant lives. Welcome to your Daily Portion with your host,

9
00:00:31,039 --> 00:00:33,079

00:00:56,240 --> 00:01:00,679
Go and Worship the Lord. Before get into that, I'd

the ways that we continue to build faith and fellowship.

24
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:22,760
Let's go ahead and pray. Father, we thank you. Thank

25
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:25,239
you for this day and for the privilege that you

26
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:29,000
have entrusted to us to come together in this manner

27
00:01:29,079 --> 00:01:33,120
all around the world on radio, on television, on the internet,

28
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:36,519
through podcasts, and in so many other ways through these

29
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:40,159
fancy new devices that we have. You said, whether two

30
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:44,159
or three are gathered together in your name, you would

31
00:01:44,439 --> 00:01:46,359
be in the midst of us. So thank you for

32
00:01:46,519 --> 00:01:48,920
being in the midst of all of your people around

33
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,719
the world in this moment of time. Please help us

34
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:55,159
to live like we're in your presence. In Jesus' name,

35
00:01:55,239 --> 00:02:00,040
I pray, Amen and amen again, go and worship the

36
00:02:00,079 --> 00:02:04,640
Lord now. Okay, So the original context of this wasn't

37
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:08,960
like a happy thing for whoever's voice that was. Yeah,

38
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,719
it was the pharaoh, that particular king, the one king

39
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:14,479
that that you know, the Bible says, didn't know Joseph,

40
00:02:14,599 --> 00:02:18,000
and he had disrespect for God's people. Not every pharaoh

41
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:21,360
in Egypt had disrespect for God and his people, but

42
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:26,039
this one he was disrespectful, and God had to really

43
00:02:26,199 --> 00:02:29,199
press him so that he would understand. He said I

44
00:02:29,199 --> 00:02:31,080
don't know who this god is that you keep talking

45
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,400
about telling me that I need to let you go.

46
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:38,759
So God introduced himself and decimated and disrespect and disrespected

47
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:43,000
the gods that those particular Egyptians at that time were worshiping.

48
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:48,800
And so yeah, now you know, Pharaoh, Now you know, uh,

49
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,840
now you know, and and and now you are gonna

50
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:55,000
let God's people go, and you want to You're gonna

51
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,360
want to get them out of there quickly because any

52
00:02:57,439 --> 00:03:00,280
more time in your presence it's gonna be a problem

53
00:03:00,319 --> 00:03:04,080
for you. Okay. And so we begin, we begin by

54
00:03:04,719 --> 00:03:07,560
looking at Really we're not going to read all of

55
00:03:07,599 --> 00:03:11,319
these passages, but from Exodus chapter twelve, thirty one through

56
00:03:11,319 --> 00:03:13,400
thirty six, maybe we will. Let's say we can get through.

57
00:03:13,879 --> 00:03:17,879
And he called for Moses and Aaron by night and said,

58
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,199
rise up, get you fourth from among my people, both

59
00:03:21,319 --> 00:03:25,400
ye and the children of Israel, and go serve the Lord.

60
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:27,800
As you have said, get out of here, like get

61
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:31,840
out of here, get up, get up. And this word kum,

62
00:03:32,199 --> 00:03:36,360
the Hebrew word kum for get up means sudden release

63
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:41,240
or rise, urgent release. So the insight I'm thinking about

64
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:45,759
here is this moment marks Pharaoh's surrender. This doesn't mean

65
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,599
that Pharaoh started to worship God, Nope, it doesn't mean

66
00:03:48,639 --> 00:03:51,319
that he even respected God as God. But he knew

67
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:53,719
that he was coming up. He was bumping up against

68
00:03:53,759 --> 00:03:56,800
something that was way bigger than him. So he needed

69
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:59,240
to get those people up out of there so he

70
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:04,120
wouldn't lose everything that he had. But he was a

71
00:04:04,159 --> 00:04:08,240
broken ruler under divine pressure. The king who hardened his

72
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:12,960
heart is now pleading for the departure at night, urgently,

73
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:16,279
without negotiation. Not this time. He's not talking about holding

74
00:04:16,319 --> 00:04:19,720
nobody back. He's not talking about you know, okay, go

75
00:04:19,759 --> 00:04:22,560
ahead and then change his mind, or you know, try

76
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,560
to mimic whatever the people of God were doing with

77
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:31,120
his counterfeit magicians. This time it's like, hurry up and

78
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,519
get about of here because it's not working out for me.

79
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,920
And also verse thirty two, take your flocks and your

80
00:04:36,959 --> 00:04:39,959
herbs at herds. I don't know why I say herbs

81
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:45,120
your herds, and ye as ye have said, and be gone.

82
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:50,160
Now he wants a blessing. He's asking like he's kneeling

83
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:55,160
like Barakh. He's he's asking for divine favor. That was

84
00:04:55,199 --> 00:04:59,199
the Hebrew term for this kind of blessings. He's blessing

85
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:02,639
with a kneeling mindset, like I need you to give

86
00:05:02,879 --> 00:05:07,839
divine favor. Now, this doesn't mean that he was worshiping God. Pharaoh,

87
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:12,160
once seen as a lowercase God, is now asking for

88
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:16,560
prayer like his empires shattered, his false gods have failed.

89
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:21,040
This is an acknowledgment, even though it's shallow, it's hollow,

90
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:28,519
that God's power is supreme. Verse thirty three and the

91
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:32,120
Egyptians were urgent upon the people that they might send

92
00:05:32,199 --> 00:05:34,879
them out of the land in haste, for they said,

93
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:40,399
we all be dead men. Urgent, urgent, it's strong, it's force,

94
00:05:40,879 --> 00:05:43,959
it's pressure. Get out of here before it's too late

95
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,759
for us. But I thought Pharaoh said that he's not

96
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:49,480
gonna let God go, I mean God's people go. I thought.

97
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:52,120
I thought he said, well, I don't know him, so yeah,

98
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:54,439
go tell him I'm not doing that. I thought that

99
00:05:54,439 --> 00:05:58,480
that was his pasture posture. Well, now now they rushing

100
00:05:58,519 --> 00:06:02,240
him out of here before we die. Like urgency. Hmmm,

101
00:06:02,879 --> 00:06:08,800
Kazakh strong force, pressure, compulsion. Now instead of forcing them

102
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,040
to work, he's trying to force them to get out

103
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:14,279
of there. Verse thirty four and the people took their

104
00:06:14,399 --> 00:06:19,560
dough before it was levined. They're kneeding troughs being bound

105
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:25,800
up in their clothes upon their shoulder, symbolism unleaven bread.

106
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:29,120
Of course, it represents in this moment haste. They didn't

107
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,920
allow it to rise. It was on the way, but

108
00:06:32,079 --> 00:06:36,040
now in haste, but in purity, while it's pure, and

109
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:38,959
in obedience. They got up out of there. They were ready.

110
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:39,519
Speaker 1: Now.

111
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 2: God had already warned his people and said, yo, y'all,

112
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:45,439
be ready to go, because it's time to go. When

113
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:47,720
God is saying, be ready, be ready, be ready, are

114
00:06:47,759 --> 00:06:50,839
you listening, listening, listening when he said that I'm going

115
00:06:50,879 --> 00:06:54,240
to come through for you. Are you awaiting with your

116
00:06:54,439 --> 00:06:57,560
staff in your hand, with whatever it is that you

117
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:00,639
know that God has for you to keep with you?

118
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:05,279
Are you ready? Are you looking at the eastern sky

119
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:09,120
looking for the cloud about the size of a man's

120
00:07:09,199 --> 00:07:12,199
hand relative as we're looking up. Are you looking for

121
00:07:12,319 --> 00:07:15,199
Jesus to come like he said to those who looked

122
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:20,199
for him, to them, he shall appear without sin unto salvation.

123
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:22,959
Like are you looking for whatever God has for you

124
00:07:23,439 --> 00:07:26,920
while you are living on planet Earth? This deliverance is

125
00:07:26,959 --> 00:07:29,680
a symbol of all of that, they were ready. The

126
00:07:29,839 --> 00:07:32,600
night of deliverance came just as God had said in

127
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:37,240
verse eleven, and the people followed in faith and obedience,

128
00:07:37,399 --> 00:07:41,399
not waiting for perfect preparation. There are some of you

129
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:43,959
who would have overthought that if you didn't have faith.

130
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,680
I'm saying you said, but where were gonna go? Like

131
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,399
how we gonna but what our stuff isn't And then

132
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:54,000
you know, counted yourselves out. But this haste was a

133
00:07:54,120 --> 00:08:00,279
part of God's plan fulfilled in the feast of unlovend

134
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:04,439
verse thirty five. And the children of Israel did according

135
00:08:04,879 --> 00:08:08,399
to the word of Moses and borrowed of the Egyptians

136
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:13,480
what jewels of silver, jewels of gold, and Raymond, I

137
00:08:13,519 --> 00:08:16,759
wish I had the time the booty that which they

138
00:08:16,879 --> 00:08:21,360
took from Egypt. In fact, God gave them from Egypt

139
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:27,000
as they were thrust and almost forced out of there. Yeah,

140
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,879
God used that to build a sanctuary, because there came

141
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:32,840
a point after God said, have them build me a

142
00:08:32,879 --> 00:08:36,559
sanctuary that I may dwell among them. He told Moses

143
00:08:36,639 --> 00:08:40,399
to go to those same people who were delivered and

144
00:08:40,519 --> 00:08:43,240
thrust out of that land of Egypt, out of the

145
00:08:43,279 --> 00:08:47,919
house of bondage, out of slavery, out of their comfort zone.

146
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:50,960
Even he said, go to those people, and I want

147
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:54,240
you to take a willful offering from them. Do not

148
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:58,120
receive from them anything that was not given willfully, and

149
00:08:58,159 --> 00:09:00,679
then build my sanctuary. Got to the point where the

150
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:03,879
people had given so much, so much of what God

151
00:09:03,919 --> 00:09:05,960
had given them. I wish I had the time. We

152
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,840
give thee, but thine own whatever it shall be. All

153
00:09:08,919 --> 00:09:11,480
that we have is thine alone. Oh Lord, it's a

154
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:14,399
trust from thee. They had given so much to God said, okay,

155
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:17,440
tell them to stop like we got enough. We got enough,

156
00:09:17,879 --> 00:09:21,480
We have enough, and so borrowed. It was ax requested,

157
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:25,320
not alone, but it was a divine transfer. Going into

158
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:27,679
verse thirty six, we won't have all the time. Let

159
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:32,080
me just interpret it now, the reversal of power. The

160
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:36,639
former slaves walk out. They walk out wealthy, not begging.

161
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:42,759
God shows that his people will not leave bondage empty handed.

162
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:44,919
Make it a great day.

163
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:48,519
Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us listening. Friends. Always remember we cannot

164
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,639
live by bread alone, but by every word that comes

165
00:09:51,639 --> 00:09:54,720
from the mouth of God. This has been your daily

166
00:09:54,759 --> 00:10:00,279
portion with el David Harris. Make it a great day. Yeah,
