Episode Details

By faith Moses, when he was come to years (grew up), refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter; Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season; Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect for the recompense of the reward. By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible. Through faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of blood, lest he that destroyed the firstborn should touch them. By faith they passed through the Red sea as if by dry land: which the Egyptians attempting to do were drowned. —Heb. 11:24-29

The Faith of one man allowed GOD to advanced an entire race of people.  The desperate needs of people may touch GOD’s heart, but it’s Progressive Faith that moves Him to deliver.

Today’s Message…

7. kept (Covenant) the passover, and the sprinkling of blood

GOD’s plan to the Israelites depended upon Him breaking Pharaoh’s will.  In order for that to happen, all Israel had to KEEP Covenant with GOD, so that GOD could treat Pharaoh’s resistance against them as an attack against the Covenant!

Is. 49:24-25  Can the prey be taken from the mighty, or the captives of a tyrant be rescued?  For thus says the LORD: “Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken, and the prey of the tyrant be rescued, for I will contend with those who contend with you, and I will save your children.

GOD is Paternal Love and desires to deliver us and meet our needs.  But His greatest desire is that we Know, believe, and KEEP His Word.  If you  KEEP His Word GOD will KEEP you…

3John 2 Beloved, I wish above all things that you may prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers.

GOD has placed everything He wants to give us and do for us into His Covenant Word.  So KEEPING Covenant  w/ GOD isn’t just Believing His Word, but DOING His Word.  For example…

Jesus said, I give you authority over all the power of the enemy and nothing shall by any means harm you.   But the way you act on that promise is Resist the devil and he will flee from you.
