Good morning y'all! I didn't get far into Exodus chapter three and the FATHER said, "STOP RIGHT HERE!" Let's take a look at verses seven through ten...THIS IS VERY COOL.
The LORD said, "I have indeed seen the misery of MY people in Egypt. I have heard them crying out because of their slave drivers, and I am concerned about their suffering. SO I have come down to rescue them from the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land into a good and spacious land, a land flowing with milk and honey...And now the cry of the Israelites has reached ME, and I have seen the way the Egyptians are oppressing them. SO NOW, GO. I AM SENDING YOU to Pharaoh to bring MY people the Israelites out of Egypt."
Can you just imagine how Moses must have felt. He is out in the desert tending the sheep and ALMIGHTY GOD comes and speaks to him. Let's look at what GOD said to him, and how this applies to our lives today. Be assured of this: THERE IS APPLICATION HERE FOR OUR LIVES.

First, notice that GOD says to Moses, I have seen the misery of MY PEOPLE and I AM CONCERNED. Then, because HE SEES, HE will act. Finally, what does HE do? HE sends a man. Let's apply this.
First, I want to assure again this morning that MY FATHER sees your burden. HE sees the hurt that you are carrying in your heart, AND HE IS CONCERNED ABOUT YOUR SUFFERING. Please do NOT miss that. Please know that GOD is moved by the hurts and pains in your heart and life. HE said to Moses, "Because I have seen the suffering, I am going to do a work." At this point Moses is probably wondering what this has to do with him. "OK GOD, go ahead and do something, but what does it have to do with ME...why are you standing out here in a bush telling me about it."
AND THEN GOD says to him, "GO! I AM SENDING YOU!" We are going to stop right there and talk about this today and tomorrow I will pick up the rest of the chapter. This has huge implications in your life and mine!
GOD just told Moses he had to go BACK into the land that he had fled from and be used to deliver the hurting people. WOW, that sounds strangely familiar to me and I believe that if you stop and ask HIM to apply this to your own life, it will sound familiar to you also. You see, GOD does this in our lives. HE brings us out of places of bondage and servitude, sets us on our feet and strengthens our hearts and, THEN HE SENDS US BACK FOR THE CAPTIVES WE LEFT BEHIND. Make no mistake this morning, GOD HAS A PLAN TO USE YOUR LIFE. Are you willing to be used? Are you willing to go back to where HE set you free from and bring some captives out? This is what HE told Moses HE wanted him to do. HE used the book of Exodus in my own life 4 years ago to call me to this ministry of helping hurting women come out of bondage. BPD is bondage ladies. This is the call that GOD has given me. To invest my life in women who are facing life through a window of "mental illness" and to help them learn to walk hand in hand with the GOD who CREATED them.
Dear Sweet Lady, GOD did not save you to leave you to walk in bondage to something that truly has NO POWER over your life. HE saved you to set you free and to teach you to teach others how to walk with HIM. THIS IS THE GREAT COMMISSION! This is what the LORD JESUS told us we are to be about. This is EXTREME DISCIPLESHIP....and it is the PASSION THAT THE FATHER HAS LAID ON MY HEART. Please do NOT hear something I did NOT say. Please do NOT hear me calling your situation less than painful, or less than real. Does it hurt where you live today...I am sure it does, but THE GOD OF CREATION sent HIS SON so that you could walk out of that bondage and walk in freedom with HIM. I know this from first hand experience.
However, I would not be able to walk in freedom today if someone had not been willing to stand beside me and say, "Vicky, you are CHOOSING to sin in your response to your life's situations. What are you going to do about this?"
Today, I ask you a couple of simple questions. Would you be willing to allow the LORD JESUS access to every area of your heart? Would you be willing to allow HIM to place HIS finger on areas in your heart that MUST BE REMOVED? And then would you allow HIM to take the scalpel of HIS WORD and to cut away the cancerous sin in your heart? This must take place in order for us to walk in the freedom that HE purchased for us on the cross. Think about it today. Ask HIM to examine your heart and to allow you to see what HE sees. Know that I love you because HE has placed a love for you in my heart. Have a great day today and know that I am here if I can assist you in any way on this journey.

FATHER, may we see ourselves as YOU see us. May we realize that YOU bring us out of bondage in order to use us to bring others out too. May we catch the vision that YOU have for our lives. May we get on our faces before YOU and ask YOU to engrave on our hearts the plan that YOU HAVE. FATHER, make us willing vessels. Teach us to come and empty ourselves of all that we are and allow YOU to fill our hearts with what YOU have for us. O GOD, grow us up in YOUR LIKENESS. Make us true reflections of YOUR GLORY. It is in the MATCHLESS NAME OF JESUS that I pray. AMEN!

It is ONLY and ALWAYS Because of JESUS-
Vicky
Psalm 139:23-24
