All of These and Those Are Mine

We're reading from the King James Version of the Holy Bible.

The Bible says, And Moses said unto the Lord, O my God, O my Lord, I am not eloquent, neither heretofore, nor since thou hast spoken unto thy servant, but I am slow of speech and of a slow tongue.

And the Lord said unto him, who hath made man's mouth?

Or who maketh the dumb or deaf or the seeing or the blind?

Now therefore go, and I will be with thy mouth, and teach thee what thou shalt say.

And he said, O my Lord, send I pray thee by the hand of him by whom thou wilt send.

And the Lord, the anger of the Lord was kindled against Moses.

And he said, Is not Aaron the Levite thy brother?

And also behold, he cometh forth to meet thee, and when he seeth thee, he will be glad in his heart.

And thou shalt speak unto him, and put words in his mouth, and I will be with thy mouth and with his mouth finish the verse and will teach you what he shall do all these and those are mine now you must follow me closely It does not take the devil long to take you off the track.

Maybe 10 seconds, 5 as you're distracted.

Concentrate as if you're sitting for your advanced levels.

God called Moses to be an agent to speak to Pharaoh.

Moses said, as so many of us do, Oh my Lord, I am not eloquent, neither heretofore nor since thou hast spoken unto thy servant.

I am slow of speech and of a slow tongue.

And the Lord said unto him, Who hath made man's mouth?

Now we speak with the mouth, not the nose or the eye or the ear.

Or who maketh the dumb or the deaf or the seeing or the blind?

So God extends the range of Moses's sensory apparatus.

He can speak even if you couldn't see, even if you couldn't hear, says God.

The question is rhetorical, the answer is so overwhelmingly obvious.

Whatever your shortcoming is, God has a question for you.

Who made your eye, your ear, your nose, your, in other words, your hearing, seeing, tasting, smelling, touching, which represent the entirety, as I said, of our sensory apparatus with which we interact with the world.

As a matter of fact, take away these senses and scientific experiments cannot be done because for something to exist, it must be measured.

And it's measured either by sight, hearing, seeing, tasting, or touching.

So God's question is, where do you have a deficiency?

On the basis of that, God tells Moses in verse 12, Now therefore, the word therefore is critical.

Because I made your mouth, because I made your tongue the precise organ of speech, because I made them and I can fix them, you go.

Notice how the verse ends, and I will be with thy mouth.

Now let me tell you what I told the lovely people in Northampton, I think it was.

None of my sermons will come from Revelation.

When you think of Revelation, what word comes to mind?

Symbolic, literal, which word comes to mind?

Nothing I say this week will be symbolic.

Now therefore go, Exodus 4, 12, I will be what?

Have you ever seen a blind person with a seeing eye dog?

By the way, every time I see someone with a, what's the proper word?

I redouble my commitment to preach God's word all over the world.

Because the only final, total, irreversible answer to every problem, large and small, is the return of Jesus Christ.

Whether you put David Cameron or the fellow who was before him was it no before there was guy after Tony Blair was that nice man Gordon Brown or Margaret Thatcher or Angela Merkel or Barack Obama or whomever you put, the problems we have, we will have.

The only solution to War, crime, sickness, divorce, homosexuality, lesbianism, bestiality, self-abuse, murder, famine, plague, tribal violence is the return of Christ.

So if you're studying sociology to change the world, yes you may make a change here or there, you will never transform the world.

And so I bring us back to verse 12, I will be with thy mouth because the solution to your problem, you're looking at it.

The solution to your speech problem, I am that solution.

Not a speech pathologist, God bless all speech pathologists.

The solution to your speech impediment is God.

The solution to your problem with always being late for church and school is God, but early for the mall.

The solution to your problem of having a sharp tongue is God.

My brothers and sisters, let's think a little deeper.
