FEELING FAR AWAY FROM GOD?
FEELING FAR AWAY FROM GOD?
today with Joseph Prince Jesus
throughout the Gospel of John his face
before Abraham was I am I am the Good
Shepherd I am the way the truth and the
life I am the resurrection amen I am the
it is the Fulfillment it's never never
God is never a god of the past he didn't
say I was and stop living for the future
yes he's gonna return Yes there'll be a
Jesus first appeared to Moses in a flame
of fire in a burning bush all of us if
you want to be delivered from your fiery
trial your situation you're in see the
Lord appearing in a burning bush at the
fire of God's judgment for your sins and
mind fell on him at the cross he had a
uh Branch around his head I said about
see him in the midst amen and you will
so Moses look and behold the Bush was
burning with fire but the Bush was not
consumed then Moses said I will not turn
aside and see this great side
how the angel of Lord is like no
how come the angel of the Lord is in the
midst no why the bush is not consumed so
we are more interested in instead of the
Lord in the center we look at the
effects of the Lord's presence we look
at the effects for example you know you
might hear some good preaching and all
of a sudden you find that you not only
have peace you really can feel the peace
I know many of you have felt the peace
it's so great to feel sometimes isn't it
whether you do or not you always have
peace right with God but it's so nice
sometimes we have the peace
they're just peace you feel it and also
don't start looking at the peace this
piece is great man in fact my situation
is not resolved yet I still have
problems they have financial problems I
fear this problem that family problems
but there's a piece wow I'm not even
worried about my problems oh this piece
is amazing now you're looking at the
your eye is always off from Jesus you're
looking at the result of the Peace you
know that that's dangerous
it's best to always not even look at the
good results but look at him
amen so God notice you see he was
turning aside to see the great side why
the bush does not burn hey the Lord is
appearing to you and you are let me turn
aside aside means no more no more
looking at the Lord and see why the bush
is not consumed so it's a picture of
Israel in the furnace of Affliction in
Egypt and yet they're not burning
they're not burning up because the Lord
is in the midst of them until today the
Jewish people they as a as a minority
race they have not been wiped out why
the Lord has been in their midst
and so he got distracted he wants to
turn and God noticed that next
verse so when the Lord saw that he
turned to look God God says I better
arrest him right now God Called to him
from the midst of the bush Okay that
tells us straight away when God going to
the midst where the angel was always the
angel of the Lord and God is one
all right God called him from the midst
of the Bush and said Moses Moses and he
said here I am so when God says that you
are distracted somebody call you back
like if I see something Justin has run
ahead of me all right and I see there's
a danger ahead of him he doesn't see it
the best way to to divert his attention
and say Justin Justin all right he will
am I right so God sometimes arrests Us
by calling us Samuel Samuel
Martha Martha because she was getting
distracted he'll call you back Like a
Shepherd will call your sheep
Bobo oh the bubble written around if
your name is Bo receive it the lord
loves you he note his Sheep by name
amen I think Bobo is sitting somewhere
so God loves you both all right so
God knew that he was distracted when God
the Lord saw that he turned aside to
look God called him to keep his focus on
the Lord but as Moses Moses he says in
and then God said do not draw on your ah
this is the first time God spoke to him
the very first instruction never before
God spoke to him this is the first time
what he got was the first things God
said to Moses and remembering that Moses
represents the Law or the first thing
God said to him do not draw near
because Moses coming near the bush but
they do not draw near this place the
instruction the first voice of God to
Moses was don't draw near now you tell
me where there's a change Hebrews 10
tells us let us draw near
do you feel stuck in a cycle of defeat
have you tried countless ways to
overcome stress and fear in your life
but still feel overwhelmed my friend God
wants to bring you to a place of Victory
this month for your gift of any amount
we're giving you Joseph's two sermon
series condemnation kills but the spirit
gives life let's get to the root of
defeat in your life and break out of
this cycle for good your gift goes
directly to reaching even more people
who need to hear the gospel of grace
offer available to US and Canada
let us draw near with full Assurance
full Assurance of Faith right
I show them Hebrews 10 Again drop down
all the way let us draw near your true
heart you can't tell me there's no
change Jesus change everything
now God has drawn here at that time
because he represents the Lord God just
the very first word of God to Moses ever
when I received this I was jumping in my
heart in my study so wow that's the very
first time God spoke to Mr law
back to Moses take your sandals off your
for the place where you stand is Holy
now I can show you that's a change
straight away Jesus came and one of the
most beautiful Parables is the parable
of the prodigal son when Jesus saw the
Pharisees were all gathered on one side
and the Sinners prostitutes Tax
Collectors they were all on the other
side Jesus began to share the story of
The Prodigal Son first of all the lost
sheep the Lost coin then the lost son
all right how the son came to the father
and the son says almost like father I
can't wait for you to drop dead all
right you are you're too strong you're
too healthy giving myself The
Inheritance it's almost like telling the
father you know I can't wait for you to
Die the father gave him the shed
inheritance the Bible says to his
inheritance he went to a far country and
spent his time in riotous living and
after a time or so there's a famine in
the land he his money ran out his
friends also did and then he was left
only with a job they were so survival
for a Jew that is worse than even a
slave would do he's feeding the pigs and
therefore a Jew is the pits
so he's feeding the pigs and he starts
thinking himself wait all that I want is
and there's something for us to learn
people look look up here you think the
world out there has what you want no way
after some time out there you can ask
anyone who has had a brush with the
world when you go out there in the world
after Fallout you'll find that
everything you need is in the house of
everything you need is here
the the world is looking for what you
they are trying and they are wasting
years and Wasted Days and Wasted Nights
to find the very thing that you have
already don't last for the things of the
world and and Christians don't be like
the world to win the world
Delilah represented the world in type
she represents the world and the secret
of God must never be shared with the
amen he shared his secret he tried to
accommodate Delilah in his life
being bound so his story is binding
he was blinded blinding and then he's
grinding there's a story of Samson very
sad every time you embrace the world the
world what what will hurt you
and throw you up like a like a used
tissue now when I say the world I don't
mean so he said well the world is
fashion you know the church is full of
this idea of fashion and you know uh
yeah the ladies wear makeup you know uh
they should be wearing makeup it's
worthy everything is Whirly
all right unless you wear a collar this
is not like you're not worthy no friend
your clothes don't determine whether
now whirly what is whirly what is the
world the world is in the definition of
the Bible for all that is in the world
all these things is not of the father
but it's of the world can you see that
so when when you dress and you dress all
right to for the lust of the eyes okay
you know like if you dress in a way for
the lust of the flesh for the last of
you're cheapening yourself the Bible
says like this like this let your main
attraction not your brother doesn't say
you can't wear all right clothes and all
that Bible says of course but the Bible
says let your Chief attraction be the
which in the sight of God is of great
price which by which you'll be called
the daughters of Sarah and Sarah had a
youth renewed in her old age amen so God
is saying to women let that be your
attraction and not your clothes because
if your clothes and your makeup and your
hair is your only attraction you're very
poor that's what the Bible is saying
okay so so dress well and all that but
let not detract your your real
attraction have you seen people like
that I've seen them they're many of them
in our church there's a light in their
eyes there's a beauty that goes beyond
Cosmetics amen but what God is saying is
is the last of the flesh the last of the
eyes and the pride of life remember when
you compromise with the world whatever
you compromise you will ultimately lose
okay the world will come back and bite
they won't help you okay so that that is
something that that Samson had to learn
anyway folks look up here and bring this
God said to Moses do not draw near God
says to us let us draw near take your
sandals off your feet in the story of
The Prodigal Son the son came back
finally he realized that all that he
needed was not in the world
the lust of the flesh does not fulfill
the lust of the eyes does not satisfy
will not give you that distinctiveness
and that Holy dignity they can only come
from God so you realize everything is
back in the father's house he came back
the father saw him from behind what I'm
the father did not say don't draw near
the father ran to draw near to him
there's been a change do you think so
the father didn't just say draw near the
amen and then what about the second
instruction the second voice of God the
second time God spoke to Moses was take
your sandals off your feet the place
you're standing is Holy Ground but what
the father prodigal son said and the
father there's God or God our God and
our father the father said to his
servants bring out the best rope and put
it on him and put a ring on his hand and
sandals on his feet that means what
there's been a change put shoes on my
son's feet he has a right to stand
back then it was Holy Ground now it's
family ground it's more than just
and have you noticed something bring
forth the best rope by the way the word
best there is the first born the first
of its kind the First in reign now it's
the first born and the boy wasn't first
born he's a younger you know
the father says bring forth the best
rope reserved for the firstborn blessing
and put it on my son that's the Rope of
and put a ring on his finger in those
days your ring is your Visa card you
don't have the cash you're gonna buy
something in the aggro in the
marketplace at that time they just have
a clay tablet they say I like to buy
this cow or I don't have enough money
here with me now no enough cash all
right use the the his uh ring punch it
and once it's recognized that's it the
Authority is restored and not only that
oh by the way have you noticed bring out
put a ring on his hand put sandals on
his feet it's not even put by him
all right so Moses the law
false makes you fall back on yourself
your own effort even removing your feet
God didn't say some angels remove issues
but when The Prodigal Son came home
having sin I mean this guy's not perfect
sin amen but he came back
and the father says put the ring on his
foot bring father put it on him
he doesn't put on himself it's put on
the shoes is put on him you know the
only time I put shoes on anyone is my
and also some Korean dramas
whether the hero bends down and puts
shoes and you all love that part right
and the music flat playing right all
so it's put on him it's not he put on
himself isn't it beautiful these are
things that they saw in my Bible that I
wrote down I mean people how not to have
a Revival when you have a Bible study
like that and God opens up the Bible
amen it's so precious gospel can speak
to you today let me just bring this to a
close and bring the fatted calf here and
kill it many of us think that the FedEx
Cup is killed in the back room
but notice what it says bring the fatty
calf here and kill it the fatted calf is
a picture of Christ he wants the boy to
know that all these things happen
because another had died in his place
and let us what eat and be merry let us
celebrate let us enjoy let's party the
father says amen hallelujah isn't it
wonderful has there been a change
amen God says to Moses don't come near
take off your shoes this is Holy Ground
and let's let's go on uh back to okay
moreover he said I am the god of your
father the god of Abraham the god of
Isaac the god of Jacob by the way the
god of your father that tells us Moses
father was a Godly Man I'm The God of
your father the god of Abraham the god
Isaac the god of Jacob and Moses hit his
face he was afraid to look upon God and
the Lord said I love this I have surely
seen the oppression of my people who are
in Egypt and I have heard their cry
because of their task Masters for I know
their sorrows you know what God is
saying to you I know your sorrows I know
your Sorrows you think God is so far
he knows your Sorrows drop down
to deliver them out of the hands of the
Egyptians and to bring them up so this
is what I underline in my Bible all
right when I saw it it just jumped at me
to a higher Place Jesus came down to
deliver them out of their bondage out of
their sickness out of death and to bring
them to a higher place to say that woman
who was caught in adultery that I shared
the other time all right they threw her
right in front of Jesus and the Bible
says the woman is standing in the midst
all right and Jesus bowed down in front
of her Jesus bowed down and he wrote on
the ground he bowed down to deliver her
and he brought her up to a higher place
by saying neither do I condemn you
Hallelujah give him praise come on
and I'll bring you to a good and large
land God never bring you to a smaller
always good in large land flowing with
milk and honey God could have said you
know I'll bring it to a greater place
and there's honey there there's milk
there but you know something flowing has
and here it says I bring it to a large
land a good and large land
and then Moses responded because I want
to send you a drop down all the way
because I'll send you come now I'll send
you to pharaoh and God says but Moses
that I should go to pharaoh and that I
should bring the children of Israel out
you know once you are conscious of God's
holiness because he's conscious of Holy
the law always makes you self-conscious
thou shall not thou shall not it's you
Christ says God says I will I will it
makes us conscious of God you see before
God tells to do anything listen listen
the question is who is God
it's not about my weakness it's about
his strength it's not it's not about my
poverty it's about his inexhaustible
Supply amen it's not about my my
limitations it's about God the unlimited
the wrong question who am I
then God answered it's not about you
drop down God says I will certainly be
amen and this will be a sign when you
bring the people here you will serve God
on this mountain then Moses said what
will I say if the Israel asked me what
is your name what shall I say to them
and God says I am who I am
trust you shall say to the king of
I am has sent me to you you know as I am
is about my riches you can fill in the
check I am whatever you want are you
sick then write down I am your healer
all right are you is your debt piling up
then write down I am your provider
amen are you are you besetted by by
depressive thoughts and struggling to
sleep at night then write down I am your
I am your deliverer are you afraid to
take uh to travel or to take a plane or
somewhere all right are you afraid God
