Here's Dr. Don Wilton I we have good days we have bad days and a lot of people yesterday who are having bad a lot of people who have been diagnosed with sicknesses and there a lot of people going through struggles in your marriage until not a lot of good people and what clearing the day is God establishing not just his relationship with them with these people called the children of Israel as they begin their journey from Egypt to the promised land, but he gives to them the very things that are necessary to help them journey to the promised land that unique voice you been listening to the voice of Dr. Don Wilton well-known author evangelist and pastor and today his message is all about victory. The 10 keys to victory. That's a word to get phone a great deal what it truly means to be living a victorious life to getting on top.
Sometimes we just feel so behind that. It's just hard to get on top of it. Let God's word encourage you to get on top your situation today, know that we love to put you through that situation as well.
If you like to connect our phone number is 866899 word that's 866-899-9673 or meet us online@theencouragingword.org now Dr. Don Wilton you going to need your Bibles today very much. In the book of Exodus we going to start doubting chapter 19 so I want you to get out a copy of God's word in one of the form you have and turn with me to Exodus chapter 19 I just remember this they were two labels is that which takes place according to God's economy in heaven. That's the upper story. But then there's you and me.
I want to know what this does for me, not not in a selfish way but I've come to understand that God love me so much that he gave Jesus to die on a cross for me. That's what he did.
The upper story is what God has done for us in and through the Lord Jesus over 2000 years ago Jesus came and died today. It means life for me and that means life for you.
That's why I'm inviting you to give your heart to Jesus today. So where is Moses coming to this for now watch this.
Folks, this is this is some of the most exciting things I've ever seen in my life. The children of Israel, God's people were in bondage in Egypt over 400 years God raises up Moses. He goes and confronts Pharaoh let my people go. We've already begun to become part of that story sort of sounds like me. The Bible say is that my story is a story of my bondage because I was born in sin. I was in slavery.
I was trapped and God seen Jesus to rescue me to take me out of bondage and he saved me by his grace and he see me on a life's journey. Remember that the journey is as important as the destination the Christian faith is not just about going to heaven one day which is the most wonderful thing to think about. Can I go ahead and say this. I've got to get there first, and we have good days and we have not so good days. This is a very good day because all four of my football teams one yesterday I we have good days we have bad days.
There a lot of people yesterday who are having bad a lot of people who have been diagnosed with sicknesses and there a lot of people going through struggles in your marriage until not a lot of good people and what clearing the day is God establishing not just his relationship with them with these people called the children of Israel as they begin their journey from Egypt to the promised land, but he gives to them the very things that are necessary to help them journey to the promised land. So I'm going to speak to you today on 10 keys to victory the Christian life is a victorious life when you give your heart and life to Jesus you when not because of you, but because of Christ in you, you have every reason to claim the victory because of his promises.
So what I want to do today is I'm going to take a few select verses. Now there was so many going all the way through the book of numbers today because in this passage from chapter 19 of the book of Exodus through the 10th chapter of the book of numbers we find all kinds of rules and regulations that God gave to the children of Israel in terms of how they were to relate to him under the old covenant, which he was making you for them included. Of course, in that were the ones that we know so well, cold. The 10 Commandments but there was something else going on here and what God has laid me to do today in a very short space of time is to pull out of this God's 10 keys to victory. I believe when God spoke to Moses and he spoke to the children of Israel amongst others.
It's not limited to 10 but God gave to them 10 imperatives. I didn't want to call them imperatives or instructions really is. The Lord began to speak to my heart. I realize what God was saying in his story was simply this, look, if you want to be able to live in accordance with my will and live a full and a meaningful life. If you want to be able to be an old book, if you want to know how to deal with your battlefields and your minefields and your difficulties and your diagnoses and the struggles of your life and the mountaintop experiences of your life you need to listen to these 10 keys to victory.
This is what it's going to type so everyone stand with me as I read with you. I number of select verses was standing because this is God's word. Exodus 19 verse one on the third new moon off to the people of Israel had gone out of the land of Egypt. On that day they came into the wilderness of Sinai by St. Doc from referent beam and came into the wilderness of Sinai and they encamped in the wilderness, and they Israel encamped before the mountain while Moses went up to meet God. The Lord called out to Moses on the mountain.
Sighing, thus shall you say to the house of Jacob, and thus shall you tell the people of Israel. Verse five now therefore nobody's allowed leave when I read this next stipend. Now therefore, if you will indeed obey my that's our biggest problem folks that's our biggest problem. There are some today that you worshiping your listening. You have no intention of obeying if you obey my voice and keep my covenant, you shall be my treasured possession among all people, all the earth is mine. Let's go to verse eight. All the people on some together and said all that the Lord has spoken we will do all right. Go to chapter 19 again ops rate you verse five I read to verse, I now go to chapter 20 watch chapter 20 verse 22 and the Lord said to Moses, thus you shall say to the people of Israel. You have seen for yourselves that I have talked with you from heaven, and so you shall not make gods of silver to be with me, nor shall you make gods of gold, but in verse 24 is the key.
You shall make an altar of worship. I'm just summarizing verse 24. All right, go with me to chapter 24 chapter 24, just one verse I want to read to you right now. Chapter 24 verse one, not yet God is confirming his covenant God is saying this is what I'm going to give to you to show you and to demonstrate to you that my problem is true and Moses took the blood. Verse eight and he threw it on the people and he said, behold, the blood of the covenant that the Lord has made with you in accordance with all of these words go to chapter 25 verse one now the Lord said to Moses, speak to the people of Israel so that they will make for me and offering any of you behind in your offerings, you got a serious problem with God. Anyone here wondering why you just don't ever seem to get it together, go check your giving to God from every man whose heart moves from him, you shall receive an offering for me. Go to verse chapter 29 chapter 29 I tell you, these are great principles folks.
I don't know how I can preach all of this in just one message.
Chapter 29 I'm going to just stick to. Let's look at verse 21 verse 21 then you shall take part of the blood that is on the altar and of the anointing oil and sprinkle it on Aaron and on his garments and on his sons and his sons garments with them.
He and his garments shall be holy and his sons and his sons garments with him. Go to verse 29 the holy garments of Aaron shall be for his sons off to him, they shall be anointed in them, and ordained in them.
The son who succeeds him as priest to comes into the team to the meeting to minister in the holy place, shall wear them seven days and I'm going to I'm going to explain this to you in a minute God appoints spiritual leaders is always done nothings changed. Let's just go to chapter 32 chapter 30 to love chapter 32 here's another one of my key verses, verse 11.
All right you ready for this quick question today. Don't raise your hand. Is anyone here has anybody here displeased or sinned against God, that anyone listening today that you know according to God's word. God is really not happy with you what I'm going to give you some great news.
I'm going to cry out to God on your behalf, and so are a lot of other people at something I can do for you. Look at verse 11 of chapter 32 but Moses implored the Lord his God, and said oh Lord, why does your Roth Bernhardt against your people whom you brought out of the land of Egypt, and with great power and a mighty hand, Moses cried out to God on be half of people who had absolutely violated God I'm in a tell you right now I want you to do that for me and I'm going to do that for you. One more chapter 34 chapter 3400 so many versus Mark Dr. okay let's just let's just go down to your verse five. Chapter 34 verse five the Lord descended in the cloud stood with them then proclaim the name of the Lord, the Lord cost before him and proclaimed the Lord, the Lord your God, merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in Steve lost love and faithfulness keeping state false blood for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression of sin.
But who will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the father on the children and the children's children to the third and fourth generation. And Moses quickly bounties head toward the and worshiped by God write his word upon a heart you're listening to Dr. Don Wilton and he's not afraid to step on her toes.

Children of Israel that been brought out of Egypt they been saved by being redeemed. They find themselves at the foot of Mount Sinai.
I've actually been there myself.
I've climbed up to the top of Mount Sinai and a bunch you went with me.
Remember that experience amazing two or three hours on a camel just to begin within the pitch dark pitch pitch dark freezing cold. Mount Sinai is way up the way up the so they pitched camp in the foot of the mountain. Moses goes up on top of the mountain, God gives them the 10 Commandments and the children of Israel are not being prepared to go but I don't know what lies ahead of them that they don't know that I bought 40 years to look forward to 40 years of wanderings and they they don't know about all the battles yet but I've had some of them already that I don't know how many times they gonna need food that I really thirsty, they gonna get that. I don't know how many of the friends and family are going to grumble their way across the days God gives to them what I'm going to cold attain keys to victory.
Yeah, they are rock them down key number one listen listen listen to God. Chapter 19 verse three God says to Moses right up front.
He said I'm about to speak, and from that point on we find repeatedly gone saying to Moses excuse me you listening to me. Have you ever talk to someone feel like they don't listen we will go through that. Don't did you hear anything I said are you.
Am I suggesting that there is someone here right now this morning and hasn't heard a word your mind somewhere else listening actually is a discipline. Listen that's key number one just listen number two obey. That's chapter 19 verse five I just read that a minute ago. Chapter 19 verse five is a powerful now therefore, if indeed you will obey me. Obedience is the clarion call of Christian discipleship. It's very simple folks listen to what God says and then do what he sees wit with struggling with that in America as a nation this nation that we love so much. When not listening to the Lord. America is no longer listening to brought you know who we listening to one another. We listening to political expediency. We listening to compromise our verdict country music August yesterday on the radio say quote most important thing for us as Americans is to just do what ever we want as long as it makes us happy me say that again most important thing for us Americans to do is to do what ever it is we want as long as it makes us happy.
Really listen, obey, number three respond is your third key to victory.

I know I know you get at least 150 latest telling me that I don't know what I'm talking about because smoking is addictive, but I'm one of those very simpleminded people that I think what you going to do when you find something you go to lay that thing down you go to go through the hood that is required in order to get through it.

When you get when you get into chapter 20. For example, there is a tremendous amount of detail about worship. The bottom line is verse 24 of chapter 20. You need to make an altar.
By the way what God does is he first discards all things that impede and get in the way of worship. He said I'm not asking you to worship me with your silver and gold� Coming here and bring me will these trappings don't think just because you bought the bus for the church that you worship.
You can buy 100 bus bottle.
I'm very glad if you board the bus and we need another five buses. If any of you are wondering if we need buses I love and we looking for volunteers to buy the bus but what God is not interested in is buying the bus what he's interested in is the heart of worship that beats to the point at which that person who is being blessed recognizes and need before God and says I'm the one who's blaze I'm going to as my act of worship provide the means for these children off of this group to be able to be transported.
