 Okay, good morning everyone welcome to another class Let's just begin this time with the word of prayer So can one of us please lead us in prayer? Maybe Subajit. Can you please lead us in prayer? Right? Go ahead Go ahead Thank you, Kennedy. Okay, so before we go ahead, let's just look at what we did yesterday So yesterday we established the fact that We as believers are God's fellow workers, right? So if God is doing something, right? We are God's fellow workers So that fact is established so God himself wants to pour out his presence upon his people Once to pour out his glory upon his people and so we as his fellow workers You know have to Work along with him in the sense that you know, we say God We know that you want to pour out your presence. You want to you know, pour out your Let there be an outpouring of your Holy Spirit among us and as we pray that remember that we are not praying for something That's abstract something that God is still planning or something that God is not aware of No, God knows it. And so we are co-laboring or co-workers with God and we saw that Revival is a pure work of God. It's not a formula It's not something that you know, we can replicate look at the old in the early revivals we saw that You know people's prayed and spend time in God's presence. Yes That's that's what we also should do But the the work of the revival is not something that can be born out of the flesh Right, the outpouring is through the Holy Spirit and so we looked at a few variations as well The time that God chooses the duration sometimes people pray for five years. Sometimes it's one year So again, these are things that God alone chooses whether it's a city or a town or a village or college campuses The person right God can use a qualified unqualified Famous or just a simple person a young old people God can use anybody And then we also looked at the manifestations of these revivals where many signs and wonders happen and Sometimes they may look the same sometimes they may be in different With different variations. So the important part is to remember that we are co-workers with God Right. So when we are praying, it's not only that, you know, maybe like we mentioned yesterday We're praying we're praying it's been five years ten years And if we don't see any move happening, you know around us, we must not lose faith We must continue We must continue to stay strong because remember this is a sovereign work of God It's not that God is sitting there and saying, okay, let him pray some more. Let me see now God is a good God. But even as we pray and even as we seek more of his presence Remember that he is changing us from glory to glory So it's not like we can say, you know, it's just a waste of time I've been praying for ten years of revival and I don't see it happening now God is building us precept upon precept strengthened by strength glory to glory Right. Then we also looked at how a local church community can, you know, receive and prepare itself to Steward and outpouring Like an example we looked at was the Azusa Street Revival where no He had everything going the revival was, you know, just exploding Thousands of people. He had good teams But he could not prepare his people, right? He could not prepare good teams And so we looked at how two aspects one is Preparing people and today's class we look at the second point. So in preparing people we looked at how We are to train People to take up the responsibility Moses did that he raised up leaders and Apostle Paul raised up plenty of leaders and we saw that Paul himself said in 1st Thursalonians chapter 2 He said that you are my crown in the presence of God. So it's not the works we do Or the physical manifestations of the work, but the people Are the crowns and we also focused on You know the focus on pursuing God's presence and not people Not sorry, not programs and not events and all of it Which is which are important programs events all these are important to build each other up, but the focus is pursuing people Very important thing. We also talked about was that especially in APC We believe and we Impress on each of our church folks in their hearts that every believer is a minister of God Nobody is can say no, I don't have anything to do In the body of Christ. No every believer is a minister of God The moment we are praying for somebody praying for their needs encouraging them exerting them Building them up in the faith. We are ministering to them and so we are a minister of God so the first one was how to prepare for a It's you know for an outpouring of God first one is prepare people and we looked at it yesterday Very very very important. If you are in a leadership team Be sure to raise up leaders You know, sometimes we come we may come to a place when we feel that we know we can do everything Right Okay, I can preach I can minister I can start the small groups I can go for outreach and the more we you know Maybe we can do all of it But what is going to happen is if we don't have good leaders to take up new roles plenty of problems one We will not have enough You know People who are being built up in the faith to we will have a burnout. I remember what happened to Moses Moses his father-in-law comes and says why are you doing all these things? Raise up people let them handle these things. So that was a brilliant this, you know plan that His father-in-law gave him and he was able to you know do that which helped him also and Totally also to continue the ministry in the right way to build and consolidate of ministry Right. So first one preparing people preparing teams very very very important Lord of ministries Have seen a breakdown Because of lack of teams Right. Sometimes maybe it could be a reason could be that you know, I've noticed this in a couple of places where the pastor will raise up a few young leaders and You know, maybe once they will give them an opportunity to share the word and they share the word better than the pastor And that's a problem. Oh What if they like him more than me? And so then they will, you know, just try to snub the person away or they'll just not give them any Importance, you know, and that would be the wrong thing to do That's why we also looked at being kingdom-minded. It's not about me myself It's about building God's kingdom. So the second point in in the whole thing of Stewarding a revival in a church community is to pursue in prayer As you prepare people as we build people have a good leadership team have good volunteers Have people to, you know, look to the vision to lead them towards the vision of the church Train them right be available for them lead by example of as you do that the other side We must also pursue in prayer Now there should be this balance we cannot say that hey I have trained 50 people here and 10 people in this team 10 people in that team. That's good That is organization but this if we miss out on the spiritual part of it, which is prayer and you know Worship and reading of the word teaching of the word if we miss out on that Then the whole point of having the teams and having this whole, you know structure Is not going to serve the purpose Right, so we need to pray. We need to have teams and prepare people and we need to prepare people and Pray so they go hand-in-hand right It's like this your gifts and your callings are always parallel to each other So it's like a railway track The gifts in your calling the same way we prepare people and we pray So they go hand-in-hand even as you Choose people in your team choose leaders Choosing volunteers. We need to do it prayerfully. There will come times Even as we you know, we are leading there will be there will come times when people You know, there will be misunderstandings in teams, right? So we as believers and leaders have to be able to You know, bring the right decisions confront those problems and solve resolve conflicts within teams And so we can learn more about that in church administration, which is there I think in the final year You'll have that but remember this that as you're building teams Building people pursue in prayer Yes, so Charles we're on page 88 the second point pursue in prayer, right? So encourage prayer Personal prayer encourage corporate prayer within the church community Right to encourage people to meet in small groups This is very powerful and very important Aspect of church community right when remember the Korean revival Right, David Yungi Cho also Pastor David Yungi Cho It was the small groups that really affected and birth the revival In Korea with the small groups started plenty of small groups Hundreds of people started coming and then the small groups again divided into different groups So encourage small groups to meet in prayer, right? And then there's the corporate prayer now. It is very important to maintain proper order While pursuing for revival right There should be order right when I say order it should not What I mean is it's not that okay if God is working in a in a different way that we don't go by it No When I say order it is that you know, we have certain a leader who's facilitating The prayer times we have a proper order in the way prayer is happening, right? now Let me just give you this example if we've got It's something to do with even unity in prayer if we've got about 10 small groups in a church right and five small groups are praying for revival, but the other five small groups are praying for healing and All of that healing deliverance. It's good But when there's order, there's unity you will see a greater work of the Holy Spirit so When pursuing revival we should not neglect Progress right when as we're making progress step by step Trust God have faith in God Right never look and never look at the situation and say okay No, I think we have to just change our prayer points. No, we pursue in prayer right and so Let's look at His presence and glory in terms of Revival and Revival is basically a cry for God's glory to be revealed upon us We say God reveal your presence reveal your glory Let the glory of God be seen upon us We sing a song we sing a lot of songs also let the let the glory of the Lord rise upon us Let your glory fill our hearts let the glory fill your temple. That's a lot of emphasis on glory, right? God desires For his glory to be revealed on his people we looked at that because you know when we look at how We're God's co-workers of God desires to pour out his glory. So that is established right now, let's read the scripture Habakkuk chapter 2 and verse 14 I'll just read that Habakkuk 2 and 14 for the earth Will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as the waters covers the sea For the earth will be filled with the knowledge and the glory of the Lord as the waters covers the sea This is God's promise The earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of God as Just how the waters cover the sea So let's pick up a few points here first one God desires his glory and knowledge to You know the glory of his knowledge to fill the earth One of the classic passages is Isaiah chapter 60 one two three Can one of us please read that Isaiah chapter 60 one two three Yes, can one of us please read that Isaiah 60 one two three Yes, sir a Shia chapter 60 and One two three right are I shine for the light is come and the glory of the Lord is risen upon the For behold the darkness shall cover the earth and gross darkness the people But the Lord shall arise upon thee and his glory shall be seen upon thee and the gentiles shall come to the light and Kings to the brightness of their rising Thank You Susan right. So now let's picture this Isaiah is writing to the Israelites to the Jews and he's saying Rise shine your light has come and the glory of the Lord is risen upon you Now this during this time Israelites were in Assyrian captivity, right? They were taken captive from Assyria Sorry from Jerusalem and they are in Assyria Babylon Right Portions some are there and and what are they doing that they are in captivity, right? They're not in their own land right, so they're eating the fruit of the labors of Meaning they're in the land there as slaves working Right now during that time Right, it was most probably that the Jews were not given you know Lord of Freedom to have their rituals and sacrifices and they're you know all the sacrifices that we see in the book of numbers It is most probably but that's a few things maybe were allowed Maybe the Sabbath day was Something that they could follow But we don't have an account of what are the fees and all of that that they followed Maybe they did follow it, but because it was a time of captivity, right? And here Isaiah is writing and saying Okay, look it looks like you are in captivity It looks like you're you know things are fading away, but listen don't he put your head down Don't fall into the ground don't feel that I've left you a rise shine for your light has come And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you It doesn't say the glory of the Lord is going to rise upon you Says the glory of the Lord is risen upon you Right and then in verse 3 he says the Gentiles shall come to your light and Kings to the brightness of your rising so what does that mean when God Pose out his presence when God reveals his glory upon us right The Gentiles shall come to our light Don't picture this the Israelites are there in a Syria They're in captivity when the glory of the Lord came upon them the Israelite sorry the Gentiles the Syrians the Babylonians those who are not of the covenant They will see the your light meaning they will see the glory of God upon you And they will come to know you to know the true God Right so God desires to reveal his glory Now why are they in captivity? Yes, the Israelites have been you know Committing sin committing if we look through the Old Testament Constantly, you know God is sending prophet after prophet after prophet He's saying turn from your ways turn from your wicked ways looking at Israel So you got your northern kingdom you got your southern kingdom Judah and Israel and So God is sending prophets to the northern kingdom and then to the southern kingdom and it's just profit after profit turn from your ways But it is not really happening, you know, few of them are changing Few of them are turning to God, but still they were living in some kind of Immorality and an idle worship yet God is saying arise For I will reveal my glory upon you It is so wonderful that even in our sin Here in the Old Testament God is saying I will I will release my glory because I desire to do it and when I release my glory Gentiles shall come to your light Second one God's glory will be revealed through his people Isaiah chapter 63 1 and 2 sorry Psalms 63 1 and 2. Yes, could one of us please read that? Psalm 63 verses 1 and 2 Psalm 63 verse 1 and 2. Oh God, you are my God Early will I seek you my soul thirst for you my flesh longs for you in a dry and Thirsty land where there is no water So I have looked for you in the sanctuary to see your power and your glory Amen. Thank you, Prabhakar. So we see here that David is praying and He this is basically a cry for revival and what he's saying here is Lord. I Early, I will seek you my soul Thirst for you Right my flesh longs for you. I desire you so much in a land where there is no water And I want to see your glory and your power Right David expresses his hunger and thirst for God Remember a few chapters before we we looked at how God responds to those who are hungry for him Right God it's not that God only responds to those who have are well-educated or who have completed Do you know certain courses or those who you know? Follow a certain routine. No God responds to hunger and so here the psalmist is is Expressing his hunger and thirst for God just like how When we are tired and weary we want just a drink of water Just like how you know when we haven't eaten for many days We just want probably a piece of bread the body longs for that Right the same way They were the saying I long for your presence I long for a desire for your power and your glory to be revealed among us And here's the thing You know, I don't know if it's happened to you but to me imagine we you know, we've been working The whole day and we're really tired Right and we're thirsty Right What if somebody gives us, you know a Bottle of you know one of these fruit juices or these sodas a Pepsi or something We drink it, but is it going to quench our thirst? At least for me it doesn't right maybe it'll keep us for a for an hour or so But it is water that quenches our thirst Right only water quenches our thirst So what am I trying to get at now? There will be times we may feel alright But remember that that that whole thirst inside us should be something that is constantly You know Driven in our hearts. They say God. I know you've you know ministered to me, but I want more of your presence I want you to reveal your glory more in my life Speak to me through your word speak to me through your Holy Spirit and so that thirst continues That hunger for God becomes more and more and more right so What does the manifestation of God's glory look like we read in Isaiah and Psalms that God wants to Reveal his glory So what is the glory? What is the manifestation of his glory look like a very very important passage? We'll read this because it gives us a whole context a whole understanding of the glory of God now Exodus chapter 33 Let's read 11 to 14 verses 11 to 14 Exodus 33 verses 11 to 14. Yes, one of us. Please go ahead Exodus 33 11 to 14 Yes, please go ahead Exodus chapter 33 verses 11 to 14 says so the Lord spoke to Moses face to face as a man speaks to his friend And he would return to the camp, but his servant Joshua the son of Nun a young man did not depart from the tabernacle Then Moses said to the Lord see you may you say to me Bring up this people, but you have not let me know whom you will send with me Yet you have said I know you by name and you have also found grace in my sight Now therefore, I pray if I have found grace in your sight Show me now your way that I may know you and that I may find grace in your sight and Consider that this nation is your people and he said my presence will go with you and I will give you rest Amen. Thank you Avni. So we just look at a few examples from and few You know insights from this whole Encounter that Moses had With God on the mountain right now God is talking to Moses and he's reminding Moses. Okay Moses. I am going to send you to Egypt to bring the people out bring the people out of Egypt right now Moses He knew it when he was 40 years old the burning bush was just a reminder and then Moses is asking this question to God and he's saying okay, God you're saying all of this but How who are you going to send with me and how are you going to do it show me your ways? Who are you going to send with me? I can't go alone. I can't go with Aaron. Okay, I'll go with Aaron But do you think the Pharaoh and all of them are just going to say, okay, take my baby take your people and go no How are you gonna? How are you gonna do this? Tell me how? So that's a genuine genuine prayer right a genuine question God is saying I've chosen you to bring the people out of Egypt Moses was asking how are you planning to do this God? Show me your ways is there a plan a plan B plan C And God's response in verse 14 said my presence will go with you Right God replied my presence will go with you and then He will give us victory meaning he will give us rest Right now it doesn't end there Now God has said okay My presence will go with you, but Moses continues the con the whole conversation and he Expresses his desire for that to happen. Right. Let's read verses 15 to 17 Same chapter verses 15 to 17 Avni you can go ahead. Let's continue with the same Thank you Verse 15 then he said to him if your presence does not go with us Do not bring us up from here for how then will it be known that your people and I have found grace in your side Except you go with us So we shall be separate your people and I from all the people who are upon the face of the earth So the Lord said to Moses I will also do this thing that you have spoken For you have found grace in my sight and I know you by name. Amen. Amen. Thank you So here again Moses some goddess told Moses my presence shall go with you, right now after that Moses is saying okay, but if your presence is not going with us God do not bring us up here Because without your presence or without your you going before us We will not be able to fulfill this task. It was clear in his mind Moses is no warrior. He's no great speaker He was not eloquent at speech He was not somebody who could you know, just make commands and everyone listen to him. He was a very humble man Right, but He says God if you are not going with us, don't don't don't let's drop the plan But verse 17 the Lord said to Moses I will do this thing that you have spoken For you have found grace in my sight. It goes on Moses then makes another request Right first Moses asks God What is your plan? God says my presence will go with the second Moses says Now if your presence is not going with us, let's drop the plan Right and then again, Moses makes another request. Let's read verse 18 to 23. Go ahead Avni 18 verse 18 Verses 18 to 20 and he said please show me your glory Then he said I will make all my goodness pass before you and I will proclaim the name of the Lord before you I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion But he said you cannot see my face for no man shall see me and live And the Lord said here is a place by me and you shall stand on the rock So it shall be while my glory passes by that I will put you in the cleft of the rock And will cover you with my hand while I pass by Then I will take away my hand and you shall see my back But my face shall not be seen amen. Amen. Amen. Thank you Avni. So What a powerful, uh, you know encounter this is Moses makes his final request. He says Lord First I asked you I requested you. You said my presence will go with thee Okay, second. I said if your presence is not going with us Let's you know, just not do this Let's just uh, you know Wait for some time And then Moses makes the final request and he says God Please show me your glory You said your presence will go before me now show me that presence show me that glory Right show me the the what what you have been speaking about show it to me reveal it to me So that I may see and know That you are powerful. He got he knew it. Moses knew it, but he was just Expressing his heart's desire. He's saying show me that glory And then we see the response of God You cannot see my face, but uh, I will put you in the cleft of the rock. You can see my back and And so let's look at a few things That we can learn from this passage. It's a very very powerful passage very very powerful encounter That God has uh, Moses has with God. Okay first thing There are different expressions of God's glory, right? So Jesus says that I will make my sorry God says my I will make my goodness Passed by you Right, uh, Charles. I'll just just complete this few points and then I will answer your question right First one expressions of God's glory. I will make my goodness Pass before you God's glory Brings expressions and manifestations of his goodness Right the goodness of God leads us to repentance Right, uh, so let's let's look at this People God has brought the people out of Egypt. They are in the exodus. They are in the desert And in between there are some there are people dying. They have uh, you know Snakes come and all of this and uh bite people and they die It looks like God maybe Moses is wondering what is happening? God you you promise that my your goodness will go before me Right, but here's the thing The goodness of God leads to repentance Which means the whole thing of the brass pole and the snake is not God's judgment. It is God's goodness God's mercy before his people Right, if we look at the Old Testament this you know saying God you've done Uh, you know, sometimes we look at the Old Testament and say the Old Testament God is so angry Now most of the time he's angry No, I thought God is love. Yes. God is love God is love. That's why he despises other things Right, if you love something you have to hate the other thing right many spaces in the scripture It says that God despises Idol worship he despises sexual immorality Right, uh, so there are things God is love, but he doesn't despise us He doesn't hate us as a people. He loves us, but he hates the actions Right, uh, the book of numbers I guess talks about those seven things that God despises Right, it's not hate despises Right, so God is a good God But we're not to take advantage of it and say okay, God is good. I can just do whatever I want. No Uh, sin has to be dealt with and so that is what was happening here God made his goodness pass before him There was an expression of his goodness and then we also look at you know, uh, uh, you know God providing for the needs of the Israelites like wherever they went the water followed them Their feet did not so not one of them was sick Among them that's the goodness of God They had food every day in the desert just an empty land. They had food every day. That's the goodness of God Right to What does it say in that in verse? I will proclaim the name of the Lord before you God's glory Will bring about a greater revelation of who he is Now picture this The Israelites have come out. They've come to the end of the road and now there's this big red sea in front of them All this while they knew okay, God is you know, the God of Abraham the God of Isaac the God of Jacob wonderful stories Probably they knew all about it But they've not seen the power the revelation of who God is The moment Moses would have struck the waters the And the waters parted there would have been a greater revelation in their hearts picture this Hey, we heard about God You know doing wonderful miracles in Abraham, Isaac and Joseph and our forefathers But now we are seeing it firsthand The seas are parted. We are walking in dry land When the goodness of God is revealed among us There's a work. There's greater works and miracles That will bring greater revelation of who God is in our life right Here's what it is, you know knowledge and revelation is very different Let me give you this example Before I was married, you know, we all know that was John 3 16 dot so loved the world He gave his only begotten Son It was easy for me to keep quoting that before marriage But after he got married and I had a child And I went back to that verse and I said John 3 16 God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son All of a sudden this same verse which I've been, you know quoting for many many times became a revelation in my heart Said God loved the world that he gave his only Son I have a son and I thought to myself What kind of love is this? Am I willing to give my son For people who are sinful and people who don't even care And all of a sudden John 3 16 becomes a revelation So the goodness of God the glory of God brings revelation in our hearts Right So even as you and I, you know, we we continue to pursue God We continue to pray for revival for a move of God and outpouring our lives and our families God will bring revelations Into our hearts. You may have known it May have been knowledge But then God can take that knowledge and bring revelation Right Then he says I will be gracious To verse 19 I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion God's glory brings a sovereign demonstration of God's compassion God's grace upon us his people God meets our needs He releases miracles. He turns around things And he moves among us Right that is what the glory of God does The glory of God will automatically bring miracles Bring releases healings releases Meets our needs releases A turn of situations Right A complete turn Something that looked impossible all of a sudden it is possible. That is what the glory of God does So that is why we keep mentioning that Even as we are praying for the glory of God for a revival if we do not see it Remember the glory of God is upon us The presence of God is going before us There's a work happening In our lives there's a work happening in our communities God is doing it In our midst Right Two other important factors is To remember is God exposes us Only to the level of glory that we can handle right because He doesn't want us to be completely destroyed now remember this that we are You know Natural body now we need a glorified body to see God Right glorified mind glorified Body to see the Lord Jesus face to face right, so Sometimes now when we look at this whole incident with moses God didn't show himself face to face because nobody can see God and live God himself says that Right for verse 20. You cannot see my face for no man will see me and live. Why because with natural You know Paul writes in his letters and he says the corruptible Seed we cannot see the glory of God But we only the incorruptible can see The glory of God Meaning we need a glorified body and we look at it even in the book of revelations and Thessalonians Talks about that that is why The glorified body is important So sometimes in our natural body God takes us to certain levels And he may feel that okay this much is enough For moses there was a huge task ahead of him The level of glory was so much if we read first Corinthians 39 in first Corinthians Later on after this whole encounter in in the same book When moses comes down they tell moses moses cover your face We cannot see because the glory of God is upon you And so moses had to cover his face with a veil Right, but joshua didn't say that Just I didn't say cover your face moses no But god didn't show joshua what he showed moses So I hope you're trying to get what i'm trying to say so the levels of glory Uh that god reveals for people Or the levels of glory that he conceals For people are different The moses he showed his goodness And to joshua he said not yet But joshua did not say cover your face but the people Down The mountain they said cover your face we we cannot see your face Because the glory of the lord is upon you And he actually covered his face So god expresses different levels of glory for us as much as we can handle the more We are in god spending time in his presence the more he begins to spend you know give us Or release the glory of god upon us second one There are some things god reveals there are some things that god conceals Now we will not be able to understand everything Sometimes god reveals it sometimes god conceals it 1st Corinthians 39 1st Corinthians 39. Yes, it says we prophesy in part We know in part Then we prophesy in part Right, uh, so so we will not know everything Right, uh, but we know in part we will prophesy in part right, so The interesting thing is In 2nd Corinthians chapter 3 Paul is writing and he's saying Now this what this glory that moses saw Was the glory of the old covenant? But now We are in the glory of the new covenant So which is greater the glory of the old covenant or the new covenant? So paul is writing to the believers and he's saying it's not the glory of the old covenant Because they had to cover their faces And and it was what moses saw was the glory of the old covenant But the new covenant the glory of the the the Covenant of the holy spirit the new covenant is greater than that of the glory of the old covenant And so paul is bringing it out to his to the church there. So each one of us Can desire? God's glory to be revealed among us. Okay, let's just take Charles question if god talked to moses face-to-face in verse 11 Then why did god refuse to show his face in verse 20? Yes, so Uh, so we I think we answered that while we looked at the points, uh, charles. So, uh, god spoke to moses face-to-face That was a voice. It was more of a You know, uh The voice of the lord was ministering to moses But in verse 20 again, he says you cannot see my face and live so Obviously that moses could not see god's face because He's he cannot live after that and we need a glorified mind a glorified body to see God and so Uh, so basically if god had shown himself to moses moses would not have lived then you know the whole, uh Uh, you know the whole plan and purpose for moses's life would have just died off so The plan was he had to bring people out of egypt and uh, there was a call of god upon his life. So That's the only reason why he didn't reveal his face But god spoke to if you look at the old testament god spoke to many people through the voice, right? And the old testament we look at uh Uh, was that god speaks to david god speaks to Forget, who's that? Jacob speaks to jacob also certain place yes, so god speaks through the voice but face to face Yes, say has said that face to face was just an expression of intimacy moses enjoyed with god. Yes So we cannot see face to face unless We've come out of this corruptible body into the incorruptible right Charles, I hope that answers your question Charles has gone off the call. Okay um shriek amar says It is based Sorry panacea. Is it like uh, as you said that the moses god revealed the glory to moses And uh, and also the joshua had a joshua the way how the god has revealed to him So it's a two different different way to my question is Is it based on call like um, how the The god chose to reveal his glory to these two people. That's my Yeah, and so the john if I say it was a different way how the john in the book of revelation he Reveals himself. So that's my question that he's in his own god. Thank you master. Thank you. Yeah, that's a good question shriek amar See, uh, I would say more than the call it is based on the hunger for god right now moses was Way more hungry for god, we would say than joshua joshua was definitely he was a man also hungry for god But joshua is more inclined towards okay If you read in the book of exodus and numbers he was more inclined towards organization administration, right said, okay, you people have to do this you have to do this And so god used him in that kind of a setting, right? He was more of a warrior kind. He made the teams he sent out people And and you know, he did that part. So it's more of Yes, the call right right now. We all have different callings of god, right? But it's more about the hunger for god The more we are hungry for god the more god manifests his presence to us Now if we are not hungry for god, god is not going to force himself and force his glory and force his presence upon ourselves Because we may not be able to handle it But the more and more we keep seeking god right, uh, uh, you know If we are seeking god for five hours a day a genuine prayer Seeking god five hours a day and here there's another person seeking god one hour a day Uh, maybe because of commitments also not only because of hunger, but uh, but But what i'm trying to get at is god is going to reveal more of his glory And his goodness to the person who's spending more time in his presence What about the person who's spending one hour? Yes God is also going to reveal his presence to him as well But to a level that he is able to contain it to Right god even to the end of moses's life. He said god. I want to know you more Later on towards the end he says god show me show me once again show me your glory. He says So it was not that moses said okay. I'm done. I've seen everything. I've seen the parting of the red sea I've seen mana fall. I've seen the water come out. I've seen god doing these wonderful miracles. So I've seen it all So that's all right No, it was the end of moses life. He still said god show me Your glory show me your presence And desire more of you same thing with david king david as well He it's a man of god's own heart Why didn't god just throw him away from being a king after he sinned against um You know and he's committed sexual immorality adultery Why didn't god just put him away It was the heart god sees the heart and he says this man is He sinned. He's done something wrong, but he's a man after my heart I know that he's going to come after me And and that's what david did. He wept and he mourned and he he even towards the end of david's life. He said He he desired his heart was so much for god Right. So it's more Yeah, say as he is saying moses wanted to know god's ways and not just his acts Right. So you and I can also desire this the more Fervent we are for him the more we spend time with him the more his presence his power Is glory is revealed amongst us as in our personal life And as a community Right. Okay. So our time's up Let's just come to a close. We will pick up from next week And we will complete this chapter. Maybe the next week and then we can Almost come to the end of this book.
