17 May 2016

CONTINUED INTERCESSION OF MOSES

1. A different approach attempted

2. Recalling an earlier word

a) You say to me, “Bring up this people”
But You have not let me know whom You would send with me   (Exodus 33:12)
b) Yet You have said, “I know you by name.
And you have also found grace in My sight”   (Exodus 33:12)

3. Pleading grace

a) 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.   (Exodus 33:13)
b) And consider that this nation is Your people   (Exodus 33:13)

GOD RESPONDS TO MOSES

1. My presence will go with you

2. And I will give you rest   (Exodus 33:14)

MOSES FURTHER REQUEST

1. The Presence of God

If Your presence does not go with us, do not Bring us up from here   (Exodus 33:15)

2. Appreciating the Presence of God

For how then will it be known that Your people and I Have found grace in Your sight, except You go with us?   (Exodus 33:16)

3. Separated to the Lord

So we shall be separate, Your people and I, from all the people Who are upon the face of the earth.   (Exodus 33:16)

GOD’S RESPONSE TO MOSES

1. I will also do this thing that you have spoken;   (Exodus 33:17)

2. For you have found grace in My sight   (Exodus 33:17)

3. And I know you by name   (Exodus 33:17)

A SPECIAL REQUEST BY MOSES

Please show me Your glory   (Exodus 33:18)

GOD’S RESPONSE TO MOSES

1. I will make all My goodness pass before you

2. And I will proclaim the name of the LORD before you

3. I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious

4. And I will have compassion upon whom
I will have compassion

BUT

5. You cannot see My face

6. For no one shall see Me and live   (Exodus 33:19-20)

IN PREPARATION

1. Here is a place by Me

2. And you shall stand on the rock

3. So it shall be while My glory passes by, that I will
Put you in the cleft of the rock, and will cover you
By My hand.

4. And you shall see My back;

5. But My face you shall not see   (Exodus 33:21-23)
