Not About Me

S: “For seven days you must present special gifts to the LORD. The eighth day is another holy day on which you present your special gifts to the LORD. This will be a solemn occasion, and no ordinary work may be done that day.” Leviticus 23:36 NLT

O: The special gifts referred to here during the time meant to give special offerings to God. These offerings needed to sacred. In yesterday as sermon Pastor talked about giving generously in order to be prosperous. When most people think of generosity there mind usually goes to money first, I saw it as my gifting, my calling. If I am unable to function in my true self by being generous in giving my gift to others, I am not offering my special gifts to God in order to be prosperous. 

A: Functioning in my trueself is not about me it's about God and expanding his kingdom. Therefore I must offer myself, all of me and my special gifts to God. I daily must worship him in thanksgiving for gifting me with these gifts. In doing so I stay humble for God has provided the seed and then bread to eat. In the same way, he will continue to provide and increase resources and then produce a great harvest of generosity in me. Yes, I will be enriched in every way so that I can always be generous in my relationships, health, finances, and gifting. And when I take your gifts to those who need them, they will thank God. (from 2 Corinthians 9:10-11 NLT)

P: I will thank God for he is worthy of all the praise and honor. Forget about me God, forget about me and left you up higher and higher Father! For you are God and I long to be closer to you. It can't make it without you sovereign King. Please guide me according to your will. May I discipline in the way of you Gid to build up and declare you are God. It's not about me, take me away, may I be lost in you. in the magnificent name of Jesus I pray. Amen!

The You God Knew #j15

S: ““This is how you will guard the people of Israel from ceremonial uncleanness. Otherwise they would die, for their impurity would defile my Tabernacle that stands among them.” Leviticus 15:31 NLT

O: If God has ways to deal with the ceremonial unclean to guard his people from them. There are also ways to deal with the perversion us. The misuse of our gifting is sinning against God, especially if we aware of it. However, God has sent his only son to die in the cross for our sins. Otherwise, we'd all die for our impurity would defile Gods presence that is always standing before us. It's not enough however that Christ died for us, we must be changed by the renewing of our mind from the old perversion us to the new true us, the true you. The you God was talking about in Jeremiah 1:5 when he said before informed you in the womb I knew you! We got to get back to the You God knew!

A: Powerful stuff! What does getting back to the you God knew for me, getting rid if the all false identities by being transformed by the renewing of my mind. How do I renew my mind by creating be habits. Also understanding the process of strength and growth come only through  continuous effort and struggle.

P: I want to be real, I want to be empty inside, I want to have virtue to lay down my life. I want to be set free today to lay my life down for the king. Oh yeah! This is my desire, to be used by you! Magnificent and holy father. No one else will do. No one else can take your place. You alone knew me, knows me guide me back to truth  In your holy and mighty name, amen.

God called me

S: “When the people saw how long it was taking Moses to come back down the mountain, they gathered around Aaron. “Come on,” they said, “make us some gods who can lead us. We don’t know what happened to this fellow Moses, who brought us here from the land of Egypt.” So Aaron said, “Take the gold rings from the ears of your wives and sons and daughters, and bring them to me.” All the people took the gold rings from their ears and brought them to Aaron. Then Aaron took the gold, melted it down, and molded it into the shape of a calf. When the people saw it, they exclaimed, “O Israel, these are the gods who brought you out of the land of Egypt!” Aaron saw how excited the people were, so he built an altar in front of the calf. Then he announced, “Tomorrow will be a festival to the LORD!”

The LORD told Moses, “Quick! Go down the mountain! Your people whom you brought from the land of Egypt have corrupted themselves. How quickly they have turned away from the way I commanded them to live! They have melted down gold and made a calf, and they have bowed down and sacrificed to it. They are saying, ‘These are your gods, O Israel, who brought you out of the land of Egypt.’” Then the LORD said, “I have seen how stubborn and rebellious these people are. Now leave me alone so my fierce anger can blaze against them, and I will destroy them. Then I will make you, Moses, into a great nation.” But Moses tried to pacify the LORD his God. “O LORD!” he said. “Why are you so angry with your own people whom you brought from the land of Egypt with such great power and such a strong hand?” Exodus 32:1-5, 7-11 NLT

“Moses saw that Aaron had let the people get completely out of control, much to the amusement of their enemies.” Exodus 32:25 NLT

“The next day Moses said to the people, “You have committed a terrible sin, but I will go back up to the LORD on the mountain. Perhaps I will be able to obtain forgiveness for your sin.”” Exodus 32:30 NLT

O: God called Moses to rescue his people. Moses told God he was inadequate so God said, your brother will speak for you. Later as Moses is in God presence the people become restless and cry to Aaron, Moses is not about us you give us something to worship, and Aaron dos just that. When Moses confronts Aaron about it, Aaron stands by what he did as if nothing was wrong. He created gods to replace God. Aaron was so comfortable with defying God because Aaron wasn't with God like Moses was with God because Gid called Moses to rescue his people. Aaron saw how excited these gods were to the people and partied. Moses saw the sun if the people and prayed. Moses interceded on the people's behalf instead of indulge in there lack of faith. 

A: God called me. He'll call people to help me but he has called me and if I am not true to who I am I will allow the very people God called me to to indulge in there sin. I am no longer the perversion Liz. I am ELIZABETH BERNICE ELLSWORTH, set apart to God to bring to victory noble man to there estate, to there worth. I accomplish this by helping people discover who they are created to be by building courageous and confident speakers. I will intercede on behalf of those God has called me to lead to him. Those who will be touched by my course. 

P: What a mighty God I serve! What an almighty God you are! You deserve all my praise! All the honor! Thank you for grace. Just like Moses left Egypt, the place his people, Gods people, were in slavery then God called him back to save those very people from slavery, lead then through the wilderness and to the promise land. Likewise I have left Denver a slave, but you have called me back to save your people from slavery, lead them back to you and to what you have promised. How great and how awesome are you amazing father! You are wonderful!!!! I praise you oh gracious father!!!! Thank you!

Light of the World

S: ““Command the people of Israel to bring you pure oil of pressed olives for the light, to keep the lamps burning continually. The lampstand will stand in the Tabernacle, in front of the inner curtain that shields the Ark of the Covenant. Aaron and his sons must keep the lamps burning in the LORD’s presence all night. This is a permanent law for the people of Israel, and it must be observed from generation to generation.” Exodus 27:20-21 NLT

O: Bring me the purest part of you for light, to keep the word of God burning continually. (Because Gods word is a lamp unto my feet) You, the lamp stand will stand in his presence, in the Tabernacle, in front of the promise, the ark of the covenant. You're Pastor and those Sheperding you must keep the light burning in the Lords presence all night. This we will follow permanently and pass it on from generation to generation.

A: The most purest of me is being and doing the true Liz!!!! To keep the seed watered and the light burning continually I need to seek Gods word. I am standing in the Lords presence as I stand before the world with Fathers purpose on my back. Johnny planted the seed, Paul watered it and helped it grow. Patrick is helping it to blossom and produce fruit. Which keeps me in Gods presence all night. I will continue to follow Christ command as a staple of my legacy for Kamea and her children and their children and for generations to come.

P: God I won't let tiredness stop me from praising you. 

Covering

S: “Then Moses climbed up the mountain, and the cloud covered it. And the glory of the LORD settled down on Mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it for six days. On the seventh day the LORD called to Moses from inside the cloud.” Exodus 24:15-16 NLT

O: God called Moses when he was alone from a burning bush. From that day forward God never left Moses alone. The relationship only got deeper and more face to face. Moses got alone with God and Gods presence covered him and the glory of God settles on the mountain. For six days Moese was face to face with God, covered by his presences, and settled in his glory. Than on the seventh day God called out from within.

A: Liz, when you are in the mist of those who are in wander that you are to lead to God it won't feel comfortable. You are leading the wanderers, complainers, self pleasing and doubtful. Yet you have to get alone with God, be completely saturated in his presence and let his glory fall upon you. This is a daily process. As I seek his presence God will call out from within me. 

P: Because of love! Because you are love! You overwhelm us with your presence. The more I seek you oh holy father, not only will I find you but you will complete me. I want more of you! Fill me up oh God, you are forever worthy of all the glory and all praise. I rebuke any hindrance that may get in the way of me experiencing more of you. In Jesus name, amen.

Promise

S: “The LORD went ahead of them. He guided them during the day with a pillar of cloud, and he provided light at night with a pillar of fire. This allowed them to travel by day or by night. And the LORD did not remove the pillar of cloud or pillar of fire from its place in front of the people.” Exodus 13:21-22 NLT

“But Moses told the people, “Don’t be afraid. Just stand still and watch the LORD rescue you today. The Egyptians you see today will never be seen again. The LORD himself will fight for you. Just stay calm.”” Exodus 14:13-14 NLT

O: Not only did God promise Abraham he will make his decendants more numerous than the sand. God promised Isaac and he promised Jacob and 430 years after Joseph the promise is being fulfilled and God again promises to go ahead of them and guide them by day and guide by night. God did not remove the promise, nor did he remove his pillars from there place. The pillars always remaind in front. And though the Israrlites saw there enemies coming and doubted, God rescued them. God fought for them. They were to not be afraid and to stay calm. 

A: Therfore, the promise God promise me is still promised to me. He is going before me to guide me in my light and to be light in the darkness. He will never forsake me and will always remain in front of me. My enemies may come to battle but God will fight for me. I am not afarid. I will be calm.

P: God thank you for your sovereignty and your outstretched hand. We praise you! You are magnificent and holy! Great are you toward me! My provider, and peace maker, you reign in victorious power! You are worthy to be praised!!!!

The worth of Gods people

S: “On this night the LORD kept his promise to bring his people out of the land of Egypt. So this night belongs to him, and it must be commemorated every year by all the Israelites, from generation to generation.” Exodus 12:42 NLT

O: Four Hundred and thirty years the Israelites were in Egypt. No wonder why Pharaoh had a hardened hurt. How would Egyprian history continue without the Israeliges present? But God knew his plan before time began, my people are worth far more than living there lives as slaves.  

A: I've been at home since I've been married. Attempted a divorce and God restores who I am in him in the process. Although I started working and things were going well, my life is worth far more than living as a slave to 9-5 job. He strategically placed things in my life for such a time as this. Instead of becoming overwhelmed about this transition, every video, every edit, every time spent on preparing for this course must be commentated to who God is. This is the rebirth of Liz Ellsworth.

P: Humble God and awestruck wonder! How beautiful and wonderful you are! How great is your mercy toward me! How great is your love! Since I was 14 I have slaved for others in a job. Working for corporations promising me wages and benefits I would never receive. Or even now, slaving after a good job with over flow of growth and opportunity. Yet you see me, you hear my cry and remember me. There is so much more to me than to use my anointing on serving providers. My service is rather to transforms life by building one public speaker at a time. For I believe the courage and confidence one will gain in becoming a public speaker, one will take those principles and use them for life! You are glorious and mighty oh Heavenly Father, no on else will do. Thank you for gifting me and pulling me out of me Efypt. In the power of Jesus Christ of Nazereth, amen.

I have spared you

S: “By now I could have lifted my hand and struck you and your people with a plague to wipe you off the face of the earth. But I have spared you for a purpose—to show you my power and to spread my fame throughout the earth.” Exodus 9:15-16 NLT

O: As all theses signs are being done against Pharoah and  his heart continued to be hard. God than says I could have just wiped you out and be done with you but what would that prove? I have saved you for a purpose! For my purpose, to show my power, to let the world know who I am!

A: Although this statement was to the Egyptians, I feel in my spirit God likewise is telling me, now look, I could have gone with someone else. I could have left at the first sight of doubt even after I have shown you who you are in me. But my daughter, oh lioness, I have spared you. For I have a purpose for you. To show my power and to spread my name, my fame around the earth. 

“GOD, the Master, The Holy of Israel, has this solemn counsel: “Your salvation requires you to turn back to me and stop your silly efforts to save yourselves. Your strength will come from settling down in complete dependence on me— 

Isaiah 30:15 MSG

P: Oh coming Messiah, I receive your counsel and pray humbly for an unhardened heart. I will be still and know you are God. In Jesus name, amen.

I will instruct you

S: “But Moses pleaded with the LORD, “O Lord, I’m not very good with words. I never have been, and I’m not now, even though you have spoken to me. I get tongue-tied, and my words get tangled.” Then the LORD asked Moses, “Who makes a person’s mouth? Who decides whether people speak or do not speak, hear or do not hear, see or do not see? Is it not I, the LORD? Now go! I will be with you as you speak, and I will instruct you in what to say.” But Moses again pleaded, “Lord, please! Send anyone else.” Then the LORD became angry with Moses. “All right,” he said. “What about your brother, Aaron the Levite? I know he speaks well. And look! He is on his way to meet you now. He will be delighted to see you. Talk to him, and put the words in his mouth. I will be with both of you as you speak, and I will instruct you both in what to do.” Exodus 4:10-15 NLT

O: Even after receiving the anointing to go to deliver Gods people Moses pleaded his inadequacy. God reaffirms him it's not about you, it's about me who gives you words and tells your mouth to speak and how they will receive it. Go now and speak to my people. Moses still feeling inadequate and discourage pleads once again send anyone, anyone else, but not me. God become angry. How dare Moses not want to be use. How dare me not see himself as the speaker I want him to be. Fine, we'll use your brother who speaks well. But I called you Moses, I will speak to you and you give your brother the words to speak and I'll shepherd, instruct and guide you both. 

A: Lately as I prepare for a speech I have been just like Moses. Denying my anointing and allowing my doubt in who I am take over. I don't prepare and end up crash memorizing. When I get up to speak I beat myself up that I could have prepare better. Yesterday I read an interview about Steph Curry in Business Insider. I found something great about what he said. The game is apart of the process not an event to be prepared for. As Doc was saying as well. How do you prepare for the championship, Curry answered, it starts at the beginning of the season. I'm treating my speaking opportunity as events, not preparing for them outside of when they come up. Curry also said, he does an average of 500 dribbles in off season and does less during season to over exert himself. Just like Moses, God reaffirms me that I am a courageous and confident speaker. He minds me of who I am in him and that he will give me the words to speak and allow my audience to hear what they need to hear. Though someone else can speak better, I don't want to give them the words God has given to me. I accept Gods instruction. 

P: And yet I still hear you calling my name! I'm so glad oh Heavenly Father that you're wisdom is beyond my doubt and insecurities. You LORD put words into my mouth. You make my mouth and decide whether I speak or not. You decide who hears and does not, who sees and and who does not see. It is you! I will go! You will be with me as I speak and you Weill instruct me in what to say.  I praise you and thank you for being with me. In Jesus name, amen.
