Gloria Copeland — Leading the Children of Israel Part 1

Posted by admin | Filed under Gloria Copeland, Kenneth Copeland Ministries

The angel of the Lord appeared to him and said:

I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look upon God. And the Lord said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows; and I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land unto a good land and a large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey; unto the place of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites (Exodus 3:6-8).

In the next verses, God told Moses to go back to Egypt and lead the children of Israel out of bondage. God gave him detailed instructions about what to do and what to say to Pharaoh and the Israelites. After some protest concerning his suitability for the job, Moses obeyed God and was faithful. His obedience brought results (Hebrews 3:5). (One exception to this is found in Numbers 20. It kept Moses from entering into the Promised Land.)

When the Israelites were delivered safely out of Egypt and were camped in the wilderness, God called Moses to Mount Sinai and said:

Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel; ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles’ wings, and brought you unto myself. Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine: And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel (Exodus 19:3-6).
