HHMI ~ Exile & Redemption From Exodus ~ Pt 6 ~ The Promise/Word of Redemption is Tested

And Moses and Aaron went and gathered together all the elders of the children of Israel: nd Aaron spake all the words which the LORD had spoken unto Moses, and did the signs in the sight of the people. And the people believed: and when they heard that the LORD had visited the children of Israel, and that he had looked upon their affliction, then they bowed their heads and worshipped. Exodus 4:29,31 In this session we will look at the principle of exile and redemption as a PROCESS. We will parallel what happens in Exodus 3-5 with the parable of the sower who sows the word of God/the Torah. The sower sows the word. This is going to show us the process of redemption. The parable of the sower will show us how that word/promise will ultimately manifest in your life. When the word/a promise from the Lord is first sown into your life the Lord may send a “sign” or a confirmation to encourage you in this word/promise. Then the word/promise is going to be tested. There will be persecution/affliction that will come. The Hebrews in Egypt were sent a deliverer, Moses, who delivered a message and promise of redemption from Yahweh and they believed the promise. Then they went through affliction and persecution. Their slavery became harder with having to make bricks without straw. The word/promise is being tested. This corresponds to the seed that fell on stony ground. And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness; And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word's sake, immediately they are offended. Mark 4:16-17 How will you respond when affliction/persecution comes? Will you be rooted/grounded in the word/promise that was sown, and “having done all, still stand”? Or will you give up, give in, walk away, and doubt the word? For more Eddie Chumney teachings and beautiful worship music, visit us at our internet streaming radio station; http://hebrootsradio.com.
