FAITH THAT LEADS TO VICTORY
We want to look now at the life of Moses as we talk about a victorious faith. We are going to look at Moses’ life and see some aspects or points in his life that you and I can take and apply to our lives. Hebrews 11:6 says that:
“Without faith, it is impossible to please God.”
Beginning with the seventh verse, it begins to show us certain men’s lives and tell us what they did and tell you and I that they set examples for your life and mine. So, we can go through the lives of Moses, Noah, Joseph, and many other men of God and we can see the circumstances they went through and apply it to our lives and it will encourage you and me. There are about 25 or 30 men and women that are listed in the book of Hebrews 11.
This is what we call the “Hall of Famers”. These are examples for you and me of what can happen when a man or woman believe God all the way. This is our desire. We are interested in believing God all the way. One of the best ways to learn about faith is to study the men of faith. One of the best ways to learn how to apply faith in your life is to know what the men of God did and how they reacted in certain situations.
GOD SPEAKS TO MEN AND WOMEN OF FAITH.
In Exodus 14, we are going to see Moses as he was leading the people out of Egypt. We can find one of the greatest miracles there in the 14th chapter of Exodus. Verse 1 says, “And the Lord spake unto Moses saying”. This is an absolute necessity – that God speaks to you so that you’ll know what to do. You say, “Well, He hasn’t spoken to me”.
He always speaks through His word: “Love your neighbor as yourself”; “I can do all things through Christ that strengthens me”; “My God shall supply all my needs”; “Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world”; “Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all things shall be added unto you”; “All things are yours”.
The way God will do most of His speaking to you and me is through His written Word. They didn’t have the written Word then, so God spake unto Moses and today, He’s speaking to you and me primarily through the Word of God. So, if you want to hear God speak more, then you should learn more of the Word and this will give you a vocabulary that God can use to speak to you. The reason we don’t hear God as much today, as many do, is because we don’t know God’s vocabulary.
