Matching God's Covenant, Direction, Goal(Exodus 3:10~20)

  And God said, “I will be with you. And this will be the sign to you that it is I who have sent you: When you have brought the people out of Egypt, you will worship God on this mountain.”(12)

Hymn #312 If Thou But Suffer God to Guide Thee(Unified Hymn 341)

  You don’t have the power to do missions. That’s why God sets the way and direction for you with His covenant. When you metaphorically hear His voice on Mt. Horeb and hold onto His covenant, direction, and goal, the Triune God works through the Holy Spirit(Trinity), darkness is bound(Satan, evil spirts), and the power of the Throne is revealed. The Kingdom of God comes, His works begin, and His heavenly angels(Hosts, army) are mobilized. God brings about greater works in times of hardship, and He always works in line with evangelism and missions. His way is to give prophecy, as seen in Exodus 2: 1-10, and then to fulfIll His Word, as in Exodus 3: 18. He turns past problems into answers and gives His heavenly mandate in the midst of great crises. God’s covenant is always fulfilled. The covenant given to Moses was completed after 80 years. Moses spent 40 years in the palace gaining knowledge and 40 years in Midian restoring the Word and prayer. Yet that was not the final answer. The 40 years in the wilderness became the true training. Through Moses, the ten plagues shook the entire world. In the wilderness, God gave the Ark of the Covenant, the eternal promise of the Three Feasts, and the tabernacle. He commanded this to be passed down to their posterity(Deuteronomy 6:4~9) so that they would completely triumph and make this their imprint. 

1. Works Arise When Your Covenant Aligns With God 
  God told Moses at Mt. Horeb that He would be with him through the blood sacrifice, yet it didn’t happen at first(Exodus 3:18~20). It was when God sought to take his life that Moses finally understood(Exodus 4:24).

2. Works Arise When God's Direction Becomes Your Plan 
  God guided and protected the Israelites with a pillar of fire at night and a pillar of cloud by day. The angel of the Lord went ahead of them and also protected them from behind(Exodus 14:19). At that time, everything centered around the tabernacle. 

3. Works Arise When God’5 Goal Becomes Your Life 
  The Exodus, entering Canaan, and world evangelization are all part of God’s plan.

  Paul’s team experienced the complete guidance of the Holy Spirit. They also experienced turning points and the works of the Holy Spirit(Acts 13:1~4, 16:6-10, 19:1~7). Darkness was broken, and those possessed or suffering from incurable diseases were healed(Acts 13:5~12, 16:16-18, 19:8~20). Finally, they reached Rome, where the 237-5000 tribes were gathered(Acts 19:21, 23:11, 27:24). No one can stop those who possess a God-given mission.
