Bro Gyme Sunday AM 5/22/11

Exo 3:1  Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law, the priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the mountain of God, even to Horeb.

Exo 3:2  And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.

Exo 3:3  And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.

Exo 3:4  And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I.

Exo 3:5  And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.

Exo 3:6  Moreover he said, I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look upon God.

Exo 3:7  And the LORD said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows;

God saw the affliction of His people when they were in Egypt, a type of sin.  This affliction or misery was becoming stronger. 

We were all born with the nature to sin and have experienced the misery of sin.  Sin is a terrible taskmaster; a sinner is driven.  Sin will produce this affect in a life every time.  They will be driven.  Nice people are not exempt from these affects.  It is universal.

Sin always brings sorrow to our lives. 

Psalms 18:5 David spoke when the enemy surrounded him.  This word ‘sorrow’ means an inheritance.  We all inherited the sin nature when we were born.  When Adam’s son Seth was born, he was born in the image of Adam.  It was all our inheritance.  Sorrow is a place that we live when we are in sin.  It has boundaries just like the kingdom of God has boundaries.  The fact that we are separated from God in sin shows that it has boundaries. 

This sorrow was our portion before we were saved; we needed a deliverer. 

Hebrew dictionary - H2254 as a noose was the sorrow.  Sin is as a noose in its bondage. 

Gal 5:19  Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,

Gal 5:20  Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,

Gal 5:21  Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

This was our inheritance.  This is what we inherited in the flesh.  Heresy means a disunion or a sect.  We can all know the truth.  Why there are so many churches today is because people let the flesh enter in.  People can hold all the truth but have an issue on one thing. 

I have to keep this real in my life.  We are not immune from being caught up with this.  It doesn’t matter how long they have been in the church, it has not kept people from getting off into disunion; we’ve all seen it.  Sects are made by people getting an idea and going off to build their own little work. 

Drunkenness causes you to lose control.  We need to be in control.  If we give into the flesh in any way then we will lose control.  God has been speaking to me about where He brought me from.  He brought me from drunkenness. 

Keep sin as bad as it is.  When don’t keep sin exceedingly sinful it causes disunion.  If we would follow the truth and keep it as right as it is, there would be no disunion. 

Envy having ill will against someone, jealousy these are all in the inheritance we received from Adam.

Rom 12:1  I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.

Rom 12:2  And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

Rom 12:3  For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.

Rom 12:4  For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office:

Rom 12:5  So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.

Rom 12:6  Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith;

Rom 12:7  Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching;

Rom 12:8  Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness.

Rom 12:9  Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.

This is the opposite of what we inherited in the flesh.  Abhor that which is evil, follow and cleave to that which is good.

Rom 12:10  Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;

Rom 12:11  Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;

Rom 12:12  Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;

Rom 12:13  Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality.

Rom 12:14  Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.

Rom 12:15  Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.

This is the opposite of the fleshly things written of in Galatians. 

Isa 1:2  Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth: for the LORD hath spoken, I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me.

Isa 1:3  The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's crib: but Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider.

Isa 1:4  Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the LORD, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward.

Isa 1:5  Why should ye be stricken any more? ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.

Isa 1:6  From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and putrifying sores: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment.

This is not a pretty picture of sin and its affects.  No one is immune from these affects.  The head is sick and the heart.  The heart represents our emotions; it represents us as a whole.  In the world today, people seem awful unhappy.  It is nice when you say ‘hi’ to someone that will actually smile and say ‘hi’ back.  People are sin-sick.  I have some family that are sin-sick.  Their whole head is sick.  You cannot think right and you cannot function right with sin in your life. 

The children of Israel needed someone to deliver them.  We needed someone to deliver us from the taskmaster too. 

The whole heart is faint; there is not soundness from the sole of the foot to the head.  Have you ever seen a sore that gets putrefied?  This is what sin does.  It will not just get better on its own.  This is what sin does to us.  We needed a deliverer in order to be freed and healed.

Exo 3:8  And I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land unto a good land and a large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey; unto the place of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites.

God had a plan.  God wanted to deliver his people.  When we came to God we were sin-sick and needed a deliverer.  To deliver means to snatch away.  We were snatched from the sorrows of hell.

Psa 18:5  The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of death prevented me.

Psa 18:6  In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears.

Psa 18:7  Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken, because he was wroth.

Psa 18:8  There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.

Psa 18:9  He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness was under his feet.

Psa 18:10  And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind.

Psa 18:11  He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies.

Psa 18:12  At the brightness that was before him his thick clouds passed, hail stones and coals of fire.

Psa 18:13  The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave his voice; hail stones and coals of fire.

Psa 18:14  Yea, he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; and he shot out lightnings, and discomfited them.

Psa 18:15  Then the channels of waters were seen, and the foundations of the world were discovered at thy rebuke, O LORD, at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.

Psa 18:16  He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of many waters.

Psa 18:17  He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them which hated me: for they were too strong for me.

Here David was, a man of war, very strong.  He’d slain his 10’s of thousands.  Yet they were too strong for him.  When I was in sin, I tried to quit and get out of the bondage of the snares, and I couldn’t.  I had to go to AA meetings.  It was the saddest thing that I’d ever seen in my life.  The message was, “I haven’t drank in however long and I still am in bondage.” 

They were nervous when I told them after I’d gotten saved that I’d been delivered.  They hadn’t experienced it.  They didn’t know about deliverance. 

We have an enemy that is good at his craft and has been setting snares for a long, long time.  I don’t know how many times that God has delivered me from a snare.  We get going down a path of life and God has to instruct us.  “Hey you’re getting out of bounds there; you need to get back over here.” 

Today we can be delivered because of Jesus.  He shed his blood on the cross that we don’t have to live that way.

Mat 1:21  And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.

When we get saved, it causes us to think right.  We can have healing; we don’t have to be depressed.  God can heal us.

Luk 4:18  The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,

We can be healed. We have a God that makes us whole.  Aren’t you glad that you don’t have to be a captive this morning?  Thank God Jesus came.

1Jn 5:11  And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.

1Jn 5:12  He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.

1Jn 5:13  These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.

1Jn 5:14  And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:

This is a beautiful scripture.  If we ask…  We know it is His will that we be healed and that we have a sound mind.  If we ask according to his will he hears us; when the enemy has us surrounded, we know that He hears us.

1Jn 5:15  And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.
