THE POWER OF GOD AND YOU!

--Exodus 3: 11-14

Exodus 3:11-14 (Message Bible) Moses answered God, "But why me? What makes you think that I could ever go to Pharaoh and lead the children of Israel out of Egypt?" [12] "I'll be with you," God said. "And this will be the proof that I am the one who sent you: When you have brought my people out of Egypt, you will worship God right here at this very mountain." [13] Then Moses said to God, "Suppose I go to the People of Israel and I tell them, 'The God of your fathers sent me to you'; and they ask me, 'What is his name?' What do I tell them?" [14] God said to Moses, "I-AM-WHO-I-AM. Tell the People of Israel, 'I-AM sent me to you.' "

MOSES! HE'S OKAY TALKING TO THE GOD OF THE UNIVERSE.

BUT THE THOUGHT OF DELIVERING HIS PEOPLE FROM BONDAGE HAS HIM SHAKING IN HIS BOOTS!

FACING A NATION WITH THE CALL TO 'FOLLOW ME INTO THE DESERT'

WOULD MAKE MOST LEADERS EXPECT A LITTLE RESISTANCE.

Moses did not release this the very thing he was created to do.

COMMUNION!AN IMPORTANT PART OF

OUR CALL!

Confession:I believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the Living God. Jesus is my Lord Jesus is my Lord and Savoir.and Savoir.

SO HE BEGINS HIS PARADE OF EXCUSES. "WHY ME?"

WHO AM I? Exodus 3:11

I've been away for 40 years.

Even when I lived back there in Egypt I lived in the palace and was resented by the other Hebrews.

I'm to just show up out of nowhere with a plan of deliverance?

Lord, who am I to be doing this mighty work?

GOD'S ANSWER: I WILL BE WITH YOU! Exodus 3:12

It's not about your credentials, Moses. It's all about me.

You'll be the messenger, let me be God.

2. WHO WILL I SAY HAS SENT ME?

Won't this seem a little odd, me showing up with a message from a god out in the wilderness?

There are lots of gods in Egypt. What is your name?

GOD'S ANSWER:

Tell them "I AM" sent you.

I am who I am. The ever present One.

3. AND WHAT IF THEY ARE A HARD SELL? Exodus 4: 1

Don't you think this whole story will seem a little unconvincing?

You've got to give me something more than words to speak.

GOD'S ANSWER:

"What's in you hand?"

4. I'M NOT MUCH OF A PUBLIC SPEAKER Exodus 4: 10

It's just been these sheep and me out here in the bush. My vocabulary isn't much developed and my commands are pretty limited. "Over here." "Hey, get back in the flock."

It seems you'd send a motivational speaker.

GOD'S ANSWER:

Moses, you are the man. Now get down to Egypt!

Furthermore, I'll let you brother do most of the talking.

1. Your sender is God. You are his ambassador, not a salesman. You are unique.

● God has been empowering people for powerful things a long time. You do your part and he'll do his.

● Remember we are agents of the God of the universe, the great I AM.

THINGS YOU CAN BE CERTAIN OF:

2. God will use you, your gifts, you personality, your place in society, your experience.

● He'll do his 'magic' on whatever you now have in your hand.


3. Don't worry about being a gift orator.

● God has used uneducated fishermen, shepherds, blue and white collar folk.

● Trust God's Word to do its mighty work!
