 now we see that as we keep going a little bit further we see that God tells Moses the verse that we read in verse 12 chapter 3 of Exodus God tells Moses this is the sign that I'm going to give you he said the sign that I am sending you and the sign that I am going to be with you and you are going to be the right man for the job is this you are going to go back to Egypt and the people from Egypt you are going to bring to the promised land but before the promised land this is going to be the sign you are going to bring these people to the same place that you are in right now and so Moses leaves this place you know he has few miracles under his under his belt he encountered God his life was forever changed he comes to Egypt and I can imagine Moses gets up you know and you have to make an introduction and give yourself a little prop a little history of who you are I am Moses this is what I was born this is when I fled and I met this God God of Abraham who has been completely silent for the past hundreds of years nobody has heard about him what's happening to him where he's at he take a vacation did he leave where is he I heard him he spoke to me in a bush in a fire I know his name I know what he told me these are the miracles these are the proof and I can imagine see all of these people watching and they're saying oh my goodness this is so incredible and there were these few revivalists probably in that meeting who said I want to be like Moses I wonder if I can kill a person go to the desert marry a woman shepherd the flock and meet God in the same way I wonder what can I do so God can show himself to me like he did to Moses I wonder if some people actually went to fast and pray so God can reveal himself to them like he did to Moses because I know that's what happens to us when we hear somebody has a crazy encounter with God right we all want to have exactly same thing you guys this is the amazing part is God tells Moses I want you to go to Egypt and I don't want you to elevate yourself as a superhero I don't want you to simply come and tell them that you are something super special I want you to bring them to exactly same place what I met you I went into the bush to reveal myself to you but I will hit a mountain to reveal myself to a nation see this whole thing that I'm doing to you Moses yes it's because you're special yes because it's I love you but actually you're the first fruit of what I want to do for the whole nation and the sign is that you are genuine and legit is when the whole nation is going to experience what you are experiencing right here right now it's interesting that it took Moses 40 years to come to that encounter but when he led the nation it took him less than 40 days to come to the exactly same encounter where they saw God in a fire to fill the whole mountain Moses stumbled upon a great encounter with God but the nation was led to it because Moses was not sent as a hero he was sent as a guide every person who has a great encounter with God every person who reaches a great success in life must understand his assignment in this world and his assignment is this it's not to elevate yourself and a pedestal as a high and mighty but to elevate yourself as a leader who will lead people from their situation into the place where you had your change and your encounter so people can experience the same somebody say amen my friends I want to tell you something today God wants us to experience him the same way Moses did that's one of the reasons when the arc of the covenant was built it was not built in Moses's tent it was built in the center of Israel because God did not just want to be the God of Moses he wanted to be the God of Israel that's why when God sent manna he did not send manna into Moses's mailbox he sent manna for every single person in Israel because he wanted to be everyone's God not just one man's God but he reveals himself first to one man so that that man will take a whole nation and bring the whole nation to the same place he met God one on one
