Sermon Scripture
There is a connection between the hard heart of Pharaoh and the later rebellion of Israel.
There is a connection put in place by God which makes what God demanded of Pharaoh the same as which he demanded of His people Israel and the same that He demands of us today.
That being said, it is God who tells Moses to record how God deals with Pharaoh so that we may know.
Whats Wrong With Our Confession?
Exodus 9:
Observe The Fifth Plauge: (Death of Livestock)
This is the fifth plaugue.
The fifthe time of Moses addressing Pharaoh.
Do you ever feel as though you are hitting a brick wall.
That the command of God is a no win situation.
That you keep doing what He tells you too and keep getting the same descouraging result?
Then observe Moses and Pharaoh.
Observe the long path.
For both appear in great descouragment and/or frustration, yet you have two opposite responses to God.
One of faithful obedience and one of outright defiance.
But what is the end game?
Pharoh is oporating as lord over a people who rightfully belong to God. “Let my people go”
The purpose of God demanding that Pharaoh release the Israelites is that they may serve God instead of Pharaoh.
Often we thing of God’s deliverance as purposed to deliver us from a bad situation.
The truth is as we see, many of the Israelites will prefer the circumstance of Egypt over the wilderness.
The societal circumstance is not the purpose of deliverance.
The purpose of deliverance is so that the Israelites might be fully free to serve God and God alone.
“Let my people go, that they may serve me.”
Pharaoh did not obey God and the plague fell upon Egypt but Israel was protected.
Observe, that those who we picture here as high and mighty and requiring of our service for life, do not have any power over God and yet God has supreme power to protect us from their decisions even while we appear to be held captive by them.
The plague hardened Pharaoh’s heart and he did not let the people go.
Exodus 9:8-12
Observe the Sixth Plague: (Boils)
God sends Moses in and there is no recorded “let my people go, that they may serve God”
God hardens Pharaoh’s heart
God does not change Pharaoh’s mind…he hardens his heart.
Yes, God has supreme power even over the hearts of men to accomplish His purpose.
The purpose/will of God is perfect
God is a good God, a merciful God, a just God
God knows the hearts of man more than man.
It is quite possible that this hardening is an act of mercy to give Pharaoh further time to repent before letting the people go and as such, preserve his own life.
Pharaoh did not listen to them.
Exodus 9:
Observe the Seventh Plague (Hail)
The command and request is the same, “Let my people go, that they may serve me.”
The command and request is the same, “Let my people go, that they may serve me.”
Let me re-emphasize that we cannot cut that line short.
To often the command is quoted as “let my people go” and too often the gospel is cut short in the same way, “you sins are forgiven”.
We cannot leave off the “serve God”!
When we leave off the “serve God” we venture into the wilderness with no purpose, seek our own “religious” ways and end up longing again for Egypt to our own peril.
Exodus9:27-
Observe Pharaoh’s Surrender
Pharaoh’s Surrender
Pharaoh confessed his sin “this time”, but he did not repent.
Confession is a oops you got me “this time”, while repentance is a life change.
Pharaoh’s confession leads into a surrender a “do this for me” while repentance would have led into a “please allow me serve you”.
Note how Moses tells the difference, “I know that you do not yet fear the LORD God.”
This appears to be just as offensive or if not more offensive to God.
It is a arrogance.
A, “I know I did wrong (in your eyes), do what you want to fix it and you let me go.”
As soon as Pharaoh gets what he wants, he returns to sin and hardens his heart against God again.
Not only did Pharaoh return to sin, but he returned to the exact sin that he had just confessed was wrong.
In doing so he broke his word to God and trampled on the mercy of God.
Observe: We must note the difference in repentance to serve God and confession to get what we want or relief from punishment or bad situations.
How do you tell the difference?
Are you fatuiged of life situations or do you yet fear God?
Are you confessing for relief, surrendering for blessing or bowing in reverence and repenting to serve?
Exodus 10:
Observe God
Expdis 10”
God has hardened Pharaoh’s heart and the heart of his servants for three specific purposes
Observe God
That He can show signs of His among them
That Moses may tell how God dealt harshly with the Egyptians to his son and grandson
Exodus 9:1
That Moses and his offspring may know that God is the LORD
Observe: Don’t play around with repentance.
“Today is the day of Salvation”.
The message from God - through Moses and Aaron - to Pharaoh is:
“How long will you refuse to humble yourself before me?”
“Let my people go, that they may serve me”
Note: The command is clear and gone out before all.
Every knee will bow and every tongue shall confess that Jesus is Lord, that the God of the Hebrews is the Lord of all.
Humility is required, service is commanded.
There is no in-between Christian or half and half people of God.
Observe Pharaoh
Exodus 10:7
Observe Pharaoh
This time leaving out confession and only seeking relief through the pressure of his counsel, Pharaoh calls Moses and Aaron back again with the intent to let some of the people go.
Notice still humility and fear (thus repentance) is lacking.
Pharaoh still believes that the only ones that will be freed are who he says has permission, not who God requires.
Pharaoh is willing to give in part but not completely.
Friends repentance requires complete surrender.
We cannot give our lives in part and allow another part to remain in Egypt.
This ends with Pharaoh going back upon his word for a second time and this time calling the purpose of God “evil”.
Exodus 10:12-15
Observe God:
This is the part that God wants us to hear and pass on to our children and our children’s children.
To harden our hearts against God, to refuse to humble ourselves and not give God the fear, the reverance that is do Him is the most devestation thing that we can do to our lives and to the lives of those under our care.
In the end, such a life spent in defience, insincere confession, pride, and self-seeking arrogance will result in our own kingdoms destruction.
Torment will be known while nothing will be left of gain or life.
Exodus 10:16-20
Again seeking relief Pharaoh calls for Moses and Aaron.
