- Liza mark that lasts for a lifetime.
- 00:00:54.444 --> 00:00:57.580
- The assignment to be a mother is the most terrifying
- 00:00:57.580 --> 00:01:01.618
- And blessed assignment anybody on earth can be given.
- 00:01:01.618 --> 00:01:05.655
- Today,
- 00:01:05.855 --> 00:01:07.056
- We want to honor that gift and look at the powerful role
- 00:01:07.056 --> 00:01:10.660
- Mothers play in shaping the hearts and homes.
- 00:01:10.660 --> 00:01:14.497
- If you're a mom, you've been supernaturally blessed
- 00:01:14.497 --> 00:01:18.168
- And this message is especially for you.
- 00:01:18.168 --> 00:01:40.723
- Our scripture.
- 00:01:41.057 --> 00:01:44.627
- Is found in the book of exodus
- 00:01:44.627 --> 00:01:47.864
- In hebrew.
- 00:01:48.164 --> 00:01:49.165
- The first word in chapter one of x is and
- 00:01:49.165 --> 00:01:53.203
- And all this happened in genesis. and
- 00:01:53.203 --> 00:01:58.041
- And then we move into exodus.
- 00:01:58.675 --> 00:02:02.212
- And i want you to notice what's going on.
- 00:02:03.079 --> 00:02:06.883
- Beginning with verse number
- 00:02:07.483 --> 00:02:11.354
- Eight.
- 00:02:11.554 --> 00:02:13.223
- Now there arose and you,
- 00:02:13.223 --> 00:02:15.225
- King over egypt, who did not know joseph.
- 00:02:15.225 --> 00:02:18.995
- And he said to the people, pharaoh.
- 00:02:18.995 --> 00:02:22.865
- Look, the people of children are more
- 00:02:23.666 --> 00:02:26.269
- And mightier than we come.
- 00:02:26.269 --> 00:02:29.105
- Let us deal shrewdly with them, lest they multiply.
- 00:02:29.105 --> 00:02:34.611
- And it happened
- 00:02:34.978 --> 00:02:36.980
- In the event of war. war.
- 00:02:36.980 --> 00:02:40.483
- And they also join our enemies
- 00:02:41.084 --> 00:02:44.053
- And fight against us,
- 00:02:44.053 --> 00:02:46.823
- And to go up out of the land.
- 00:02:46.823 --> 00:02:50.560
- Exile.
- 00:02:50.760 --> 00:02:53.196
- Therefore they said taskmasters
- 00:02:53.196 --> 00:02:55.865
- Over them to afflict them with their burdens.
- 00:02:55.865 --> 00:02:59.869
- Slavery.
- 00:03:00.136 --> 00:03:02.071
- Then the king of egypt spoke to the hebrew midwives.
- 00:03:02.071 --> 00:03:06.242
- What did he say?
- 00:03:06.643 --> 00:03:08.945
- He said the midwives feared god and did not do
- 00:03:08.945 --> 00:03:12.882
- As the king of egypt had commanded.
- 00:03:12.882 --> 00:03:14.917
- What did he command?
- 00:03:14.917 --> 00:03:17.153
- When you do your duties as a midwife for the hebrew women,
- 00:03:17.153 --> 00:03:21.024
- See them on the birth tubes, the rocks in which
- 00:03:21.024 --> 00:03:23.993
- They used to bring birth, and if it is a son,
- 00:03:23.993 --> 00:03:27.630
- Do shall kill him.
- 00:03:27.630 --> 00:03:30.767
- Infanticide
- 00:03:31.100 --> 00:03:33.903
- Defined it the last verse.
- 00:03:33.903 --> 00:03:35.505
- So pharaoh commanded all his people, saying,
- 00:03:35.505 --> 00:03:38.574
- Every son who is born, you shall cast into the nile,
- 00:03:38.574 --> 00:03:42.912
- The river, and every daughter you shall keep alive.
- 00:03:42.912 --> 00:03:48.951
- Sound familiar?
- 00:03:49.319 --> 00:03:52.055
- Those words.
- 00:03:52.055 --> 00:03:54.757
- We look at ancient egypt and we say,
- 00:03:54.757 --> 00:03:57.827
- What a horrific land that is.
- 00:03:58.461 --> 00:04:03.499
- Infanticide.
- 00:04:03.833 --> 00:04:06.703
- A child is born.
- 00:04:06.703 --> 00:04:09.138
- Throw him in the river.
- 00:04:09.138 --> 00:04:11.574
- Can you imagine such paganism?
- 00:04:12.175 --> 00:04:15.511
- Can you imagine such heartlessness?
- 00:04:15.511 --> 00:04:18.781
- Can you imagine such racism?
- 00:04:18.781 --> 00:04:21.751
- Can you imagine such extremity that went on in a land
- 00:04:21.751 --> 00:04:26.122
- That did not know the lord god, and said
- 00:04:26.122 --> 00:04:30.893
- About killing and destroying a people,
- 00:04:30.893 --> 00:04:34.330
- Putting down a people, eliminating a people,
- 00:04:35.231 --> 00:04:38.668
- Stagnating their growth?
- 00:04:39.202 --> 00:04:41.904
- Can you imagine such a place ever existing on the earth?
- 00:04:41.904 --> 00:04:46.175
- Is that.
- 00:04:46.175 --> 00:04:50.546
- Egypt
- 00:04:50.780 --> 00:04:53.015
- Was the sane and sensible land?
- 00:04:53.015 --> 00:04:55.618
- Ladies and gentlemen, compared to the united states
- 00:04:55.618 --> 00:05:00.556
- Of america.
- 00:05:00.556 --> 00:05:04.026
- Since 1973,
- 00:05:04.360 --> 00:05:06.796
- Roe v wade was passed.
- 00:05:06.796 --> 00:05:10.099
- In america we have seen through abortion,
- 00:05:10.099 --> 00:05:14.070
- Which clearly defined
- 00:05:14.070 --> 00:05:17.340
- Is a child's murder in the womb of the mother.
- 00:05:17.340 --> 00:05:21.611
- That's what it is.
- 00:05:22.044 --> 00:05:24.347
- 63 million children
- 00:05:24.347 --> 00:05:28.885
- Have been killed in the place where they should be
- 00:05:28.885 --> 00:05:32.722
- Safer than any other place throughout their life.
- 00:05:32.722 --> 00:05:40.596
- You say that's a lot of people.
- 00:05:41.230 --> 00:05:44.367
- Of all the people
- 00:05:44.801 --> 00:05:45.802
- Who are being slaughtered in afghanistan,
- 00:05:45.802 --> 00:05:49.439
- All the people who are now
- 00:05:50.006 --> 00:05:52.108
- Being slaughtered in war.
- 00:05:52.108 --> 00:05:56.446
- Take all of this number and all of those
- 00:05:57.280 --> 00:06:01.684
- Who are victim of genocide in nazi germany, out of hitler.
- 00:06:01.684 --> 00:06:06.722
- All the people that joseph stalin murdered,
- 00:06:06.722 --> 00:06:10.660
- All the people that milo in china
- 00:06:10.660 --> 00:06:13.796
- Murdered through genocide.
- 00:06:13.796 --> 00:06:16.065
- And add them to everything that's happening in ukraine
- 00:06:16.065 --> 00:06:19.735
- Today.
- 00:06:19.735 --> 00:06:22.505
- And 63 million
- 00:06:22.839 --> 00:06:25.074
- That we have legally murdered
- 00:06:25.074 --> 00:06:28.311
- In the mother's womb is a greater number
- 00:06:28.311 --> 00:06:31.881
- Than all of them added together.
- 00:06:31.881 --> 00:06:41.123
- Before i get into
- 00:06:41.557 --> 00:06:44.393
- Roe v wade a little further.
- 00:06:44.393 --> 00:06:47.497
- Let me say something
- 00:06:47.497 --> 00:06:49.432
- Parenthetically over here
- 00:06:49.432 --> 00:06:52.235
- To those females who
- 00:06:52.235 --> 00:06:55.071
- Probably at an early age,
- 00:06:55.071 --> 00:06:57.974
- Not understanding the ramificati
- 00:06:57.974 --> 00:07:02.512
- Had an abortion
- 00:07:02.879 --> 00:07:05.114
- By way of confession
- 00:07:05.114 --> 00:07:08.050
- And witness.
- 00:07:08.384 --> 00:07:10.920
- When i married, i was a virgin.
- 00:07:10.920 --> 00:07:14.724
- Even back in those antique days.
- 00:07:15.458 --> 00:07:18.628
- I was not sort of one of the guys.
- 00:07:19.395 --> 00:07:22.999
- That's a fact now.
- 00:07:23.432 --> 00:07:26.202
- But if a girl when,
- 00:07:26.669 --> 00:07:30.506
- Say, 14 or 15 had gotten pregnant,
- 00:07:30.506 --> 00:07:34.176
- Whether i was a part or not,
- 00:07:34.777 --> 00:07:38.014
- And that girl would have come to me and asked for advice,
- 00:07:38.014 --> 00:07:42.518
- And if at that time, which it wasn't, it was legal
- 00:07:42.518 --> 00:07:46.622
- And reasonably safe
- 00:07:46.622 --> 00:07:49.592
- To keep from that life being disrupted.
- 00:07:49.592 --> 00:07:52.762
- I a christian quote christian end quote,
- 00:07:53.629 --> 00:07:57.867
- In that area of immaturity
- 00:07:57.867 --> 00:08:00.603
- Would have advocated abortion.
- 00:08:00.603 --> 00:08:04.006
- That's my confession.
- 00:08:04.507 --> 00:08:06.842
- So let me say
- 00:08:06.842 --> 00:08:09.178
- That a lot of young people
- 00:08:09.178 --> 00:08:11.414
- Have given up the life of a child,
- 00:08:11.414 --> 00:08:16.452
- An unwanted,
- 00:08:16.786 --> 00:08:17.853
- An unexpected, undesired pregnancy,
- 00:08:17.853 --> 00:08:21.624
- And they did not know what most of us know today.
- 00:08:21.624 --> 00:08:27.129
- And they
- 00:08:27.396 --> 00:08:28.331
- Did not have the maturity to understand
- 00:08:28.331 --> 00:08:30.900
- The sacredness of life.
- 00:08:30.900 --> 00:08:34.704
- God forgives.
- 00:08:35.071 --> 00:08:37.239
- God cleanses.
- 00:08:37.239 --> 00:08:38.674
- And that was the sake of the past.
- 00:08:38.674 --> 00:08:41.043
- Let me say that without thinking.
- 00:08:41.043 --> 00:08:43.713
- I'm standing up here as some super pious clergyman,
- 00:08:43.713 --> 00:08:48.250
- Pronouncing judgment of those
- 00:08:48.884 --> 00:08:50.586
- Who at a young age
- 00:08:50.586 --> 00:08:53.422
- Made a tragic mistake
- 00:08:53.422 --> 00:08:55.825
- As far as god is concerned.
- 00:08:55.825 --> 00:08:57.893
- And as far as life is concerned.
- 00:08:57.893 --> 00:08:59.996
- Okay.
- 00:08:59.996 --> 00:09:01.597
- And i will show you what's happened today in our world.
- 00:09:01.597 --> 00:09:06.135
- We know there has been supposedly
- 00:09:06.135 --> 00:09:08.471
- A leak from the supreme court.
- 00:09:08.471 --> 00:09:12.408
- That evidently
- 00:09:12.742 --> 00:09:13.709
- A ruling will come down,
- 00:09:13.709 --> 00:09:16.712
- Which roe v wade will be overturned.
- 00:09:16.712 --> 00:09:19.882
- As someone who has on the side
- 00:09:20.483 --> 00:09:22.718
- 100% of life.
- 00:09:22.718 --> 00:09:27.490
- I am thrilled and pray
- 00:09:27.957 --> 00:09:30.726
- That will become a reality.
- 00:09:30.726 --> 00:09:35.564
- Unapologetically
- 00:09:35.965 --> 00:09:38.901
- In the process of this.
- 00:09:39.402 --> 00:09:43.339
- A group called cure
- 00:09:43.806 --> 00:09:46.742
- And corporation with the cdc
- 00:09:47.343 --> 00:09:50.713
- In cooperation with the african american pro-life group.
- 00:09:50.713 --> 00:09:54.950
- They have a paper to congress.
- 00:09:55.551 --> 00:09:58.954
- In this whole area of abortion,
- 00:09:59.588 --> 00:10:02.858
- Which is mind boggling to me
- 00:10:03.459 --> 00:10:07.229
- And is heartbreaking to all
- 00:10:07.830 --> 00:10:11.067
- Who know god and believe in the sacredness of life.
- 00:10:11.067 --> 00:10:14.203
- Let me give you an overview
- 00:10:14.203 --> 00:10:17.273
- Of what has been revealed.
- 00:10:17.840 --> 00:10:20.976
- Out of the 63 million abortions.
- 00:10:21.711 --> 00:10:27.416
- 40% of those abortions,
- 00:10:27.416 --> 00:10:30.586
- 19 million have been
- 00:10:31.053 --> 00:10:34.223
- African american children in the mother's
- 00:10:34.223 --> 00:10:37.026
- Womb.
- 00:10:37.026 --> 00:10:40.096
- Of those, 20 million was their
- 00:10:40.096 --> 00:10:42.898
- Another martin luther king killed?
- 00:10:43.632 --> 00:10:45.701
- Was there another thomas soul killed?
- 00:10:45.701 --> 00:10:49.138
- Was there someone there
- 00:10:49.138 --> 00:10:50.673
- Who could
- 00:10:50.673 --> 00:10:51.741
- Have led us out of the bondage we find ourselves in
- 00:10:51.741 --> 00:10:54.543
- As americans today?
- 00:10:54.543 --> 00:10:55.711
- Was there someone there who could have made such
- 00:10:55.711 --> 00:10:58.581
- Radical difference in medicine, in research,
- 00:10:58.581 --> 00:11:01.617
- In the political area?
- 00:11:01.617 --> 00:11:02.785
- There's 20 million, you know how many people?
- 00:11:02.785 --> 00:11:04.987
- 20 million.
- 00:11:04.987 --> 00:11:05.821
- 20 million is roughly the population
- 00:11:05.821 --> 00:11:09.191
- Of the state of new york.
- 00:11:09.759 --> 00:11:14.196
- Killed
- 00:11:14.396 --> 00:11:16.365
- Before the life left the mother's womb.
- 00:11:16.365 --> 00:11:19.869
- Planned parenthood.
- 00:11:20.336 --> 00:11:21.670
- Oh, it's a great title.
- 00:11:21.670 --> 00:11:24.774
- You know who founded it?
- 00:11:25.307 --> 00:11:27.276
- Margaret sanger.
- 00:11:27.276 --> 00:11:29.745
- She is the philosopher of eugenics.
- 00:11:29.745 --> 00:11:31.947
- What is eugenics
- 00:11:31.947 --> 00:11:33.682
- Is the fact that you suppress different races.
- 00:11:33.682 --> 00:11:36.752
- That's what hitler did with the jews.
- 00:11:36.752 --> 00:11:39.855
- Suppressor.
- 00:11:40.189 --> 00:11:40.923
- Unwanted group people.
- 00:11:40.923 --> 00:11:42.525
- And that's exactly what has happened today
- 00:11:42.525 --> 00:11:46.662
- To a whole fabulously gifted group of people
- 00:11:47.563 --> 00:11:51.267
- Who are part of our america.
- 00:11:51.267 --> 00:11:56.672
- I didn't want to say this.
- 00:11:57.239 --> 00:12:00.209
- Very hurtful for me because i'm a patriot.
- 00:12:00.209 --> 00:12:03.312
- I love this land.
- 00:12:03.746 --> 00:12:07.249
- I have sung on the top of my voice for a lot of years.
- 00:12:07.249 --> 00:12:12.454
- Hard for me to say this.
- 00:12:12.988 --> 00:12:16.192
- Listen to it carefully.
- 00:12:16.192 --> 00:12:17.526
- Take it home. think about it.
- 00:12:17.526 --> 00:12:20.262
- I'm having a hard time singing.
- 00:12:20.896 --> 00:12:24.967
- God bless america. oh.
- 00:12:25.434 --> 00:12:30.206
- Why? should god
- 00:12:30.573 --> 00:12:34.677
- Bless america?
- 00:12:34.677 --> 00:12:41.083
- He has blessed us.
- 00:12:41.517 --> 00:12:42.551
- And we used our blessing
- 00:12:42.551 --> 00:12:44.153
- To exploit those who were most down
- 00:12:44.153 --> 00:12:47.990
- And most needed a leg up and help and love.
- 00:12:47.990 --> 00:12:53.896
- And that's an indictment upon
- 00:12:54.530 --> 00:12:56.866
- You and me.
- 00:12:56.866 --> 00:13:00.502
- But the great tragedy is
- 00:13:01.036 --> 00:13:04.306
- In america.
- 00:13:04.640 --> 00:13:05.441
- We're voting on life.
- 00:13:05.441 --> 00:13:06.809
- Ladies and gentlemen, we're voting on life.
- 00:13:06.809 --> 00:13:10.446
- Human beings voted on.
- 00:13:10.913 --> 00:13:12.848
- Voting on life.
- 00:13:12.848 --> 00:13:17.720
- May there be a wake
- 00:13:18.187 --> 00:13:19.955
- Up call all over america.
- 00:13:19.955 --> 00:13:22.758
- As we in this church stand for life.
- 00:13:22.758 --> 00:13:26.328
- Say it with me.
- 00:13:26.328 --> 00:13:27.096
- We stand for life.
- 00:13:27.096 --> 00:13:29.832
- Life.
- 00:13:30.065 --> 00:13:32.268
- And we do not apologize for it.
- 00:13:31.467 --> 00:13:34.803
- Because life is a sacred gift
- 00:13:34.803 --> 00:13:37.573
- Of almighty god.
- 00:13:37.573 --> 00:14:01.430
- When i was a boy,
- 00:14:01.864 --> 00:14:03.132
- There was a popular little song called mother.
- 00:14:03.132 --> 00:14:06.902
- Derived from the acrostic motif.
- 00:14:06.902 --> 00:14:11.206
- Though the lyrics are not christian.
- 00:14:11.974 --> 00:14:14.109
- They are certainly universal in their application
- 00:14:14.109 --> 00:14:17.413
- Of mothers everywhere as a child.
- 00:14:17.413 --> 00:14:20.749
- I had to
- 00:14:20.749 --> 00:14:21.850
- Sing this over a radio station in laurel, mississippi.
- 00:14:21.850 --> 00:14:25.187
- Would you believe that?
- 00:14:25.187 --> 00:14:26.455
- And so, as a heartfelt tribute to mothers and mother figures
- 00:14:26.455 --> 00:14:31.126
- Everywhere, i decided to have some fun
- 00:14:31.126 --> 00:14:33.629
- With this little acrostic for mother's day.
- 00:14:33.629 --> 00:14:37.032
- For mother's day only.
- 00:14:37.032 --> 00:14:39.168
- So i've created a one week devotional for moms.
- 00:14:39.168 --> 00:14:43.072
- Through these pages, i hope to honor our mothers,
- 00:14:43.072 --> 00:14:46.608
- Glorify god, and inspire both mothers and children
- 00:14:46.608 --> 00:14:50.346
- To pray for those whom god has carefully designed
- 00:14:50.346 --> 00:14:54.416
- To nurture and guide each and every new generation.
- 00:14:54.416 --> 00:14:59.321
- To get you a copy.
- 00:14:59.321 --> 00:15:00.622
- Call the number on the screen or visit the website below
- 00:15:00.622 --> 00:15:03.792
- And give someone who has been a mother figure to you,
- 00:15:03.792 --> 00:15:08.163
- Or give one to your mother.
- 00:15:08.163 --> 00:15:09.832
- And by the way, keep one for yourself.
- 00:15:09.832 --> 00:15:18.607
- What happened in.
- 00:15:19.041 --> 00:15:22.311
- Five heroines
- 00:15:22.678 --> 00:15:26.181
- Changed history.
- 00:15:26.582 --> 00:15:28.951
- Five women whose name i dare say.
- 00:15:28.951 --> 00:15:33.155
- Most of us, even though
- 00:15:33.155 --> 00:15:34.523
- Our church people would know only one of the names.
- 00:15:34.523 --> 00:15:37.860
- Five names.
- 00:15:38.193 --> 00:15:44.633
- You ever heard of
- 00:15:45.067 --> 00:15:45.634
- Somebody named schiffer?
- 00:15:45.634 --> 00:15:48.537
- Ever heard of somebody named pura?
- 00:15:48.537 --> 00:15:51.673
- Ever heard anybody named jochebed?
- 00:15:51.673 --> 00:15:54.943
- Ever heard anybody named miriam?
- 00:15:54.943 --> 00:15:57.780
- Ever heard anybody named before?
- 00:15:57.780 --> 00:16:00.783
- Five women
- 00:16:00.783 --> 00:16:03.619
- There in egypt
- 00:16:03.619 --> 00:16:05.454
- When they were faced
- 00:16:05.454 --> 00:16:07.790
- With infanticide?
- 00:16:07.790 --> 00:16:10.392
- With slavery.
- 00:16:10.392 --> 00:16:11.760
- With prejudice, with bigotry.
- 00:16:11.760 --> 00:16:13.829
- Because the israelites were going.
- 00:16:13.829 --> 00:16:16.298
- They needed to be suppressed.
- 00:16:16.298 --> 00:16:19.068
- Let's look at those five women rapidly.
- 00:16:19.868 --> 00:16:22.104
- You're going to see five tremendous women.
- 00:16:22.104 --> 00:16:25.841
- We don't even know their names.
- 00:16:25.841 --> 00:16:27.910
- Look back.
- 00:16:27.910 --> 00:16:28.677
- It said hebrew midwives, of whom
- 00:16:28.677 --> 00:16:31.480
- The name of one was shiprock,
- 00:16:31.480 --> 00:16:33.549
- And the name of the other was pura.
- 00:16:33.549 --> 00:16:36.218
- And he said, when you do the duties of the
- 00:16:36.218 --> 00:16:39.555
- Midwife for hebrew women and see them on their birth dos,
- 00:16:39.555 --> 00:16:43.525
- If it's a son, you shall kill him.
- 00:16:43.525 --> 00:16:46.195
- It says, but the midwives feared god.
- 00:16:46.195 --> 00:16:49.064
- What did they do?
- 00:16:49.064 --> 00:16:50.199
- They had faith in god.
- 00:16:50.199 --> 00:16:53.302
- And he said they feared god more than they feared
- 00:16:53.302 --> 00:16:55.437
- The government.
- 00:16:55.437 --> 00:16:57.039
- How important that is today.
- 00:16:57.039 --> 00:17:00.175
- But the midwives feared god.
- 00:17:00.175 --> 00:17:02.177
- Verse 17, and did not do it.
- 00:17:02.177 --> 00:17:04.646
- Do as the king of egypt had commanded them, but
- 00:17:04.646 --> 00:17:07.616
- Save the male children alive.
- 00:17:07.616 --> 00:17:10.752
- So the king of egypt called for the midwives,
- 00:17:10.752 --> 00:17:13.155
- And said to them,
- 00:17:13.155 --> 00:17:14.223
- Why have you done this thing
- 00:17:14.223 --> 00:17:15.824
- And save the male children alive?
- 00:17:15.824 --> 00:17:17.826
- Now they had faith, and that gave them courage, right?
- 00:17:17.826 --> 00:17:20.662
- Faith gives us courage.
- 00:17:20.662 --> 00:17:21.997
- Faith in the living god.
- 00:17:21.997 --> 00:17:24.066
- And the midwives said to pharaoh,
- 00:17:24.066 --> 00:17:26.034
- Because the hebrew
- 00:17:26.034 --> 00:17:27.236
- Women are not like the egyptian women, for they are lively
- 00:17:27.236 --> 00:17:30.672
- And give birth before the midwives can come to them.
- 00:17:30.672 --> 00:17:33.475
- Therefore god dealt with the midwives,
- 00:17:33.475 --> 00:17:35.911
- And the people multiplied and grew very mighty.
- 00:17:35.911 --> 00:17:39.014
- And so it was because the midwives feared
- 00:17:39.014 --> 00:17:42.151
- God that he provided households for them.
- 00:17:42.151 --> 00:17:46.455
- You see the pattern here of this first
- 00:17:46.455 --> 00:17:48.724
- This first woman we're honoring.
- 00:17:48.724 --> 00:17:50.859
- She had faith in god because of that faith.
- 00:17:50.859 --> 00:17:56.465
- She had courage to stand up against pharaoh and his edict.
- 00:17:56.465 --> 00:18:00.936
- And then she had what?
- 00:18:00.936 --> 00:18:03.305
- Creative thinking.
- 00:18:03.305 --> 00:18:08.076
- She told pharaoh, look, these babies were born before.
- 00:18:05.774 --> 00:18:11.346
- Some was true, some was not true.
- 00:18:11.346 --> 00:18:13.382
- You see how god used this?
- 00:18:13.382 --> 00:18:15.784
- These two unnamed women who were midwives.
- 00:18:15.784 --> 00:18:18.420
- And look at the next one when we come to
- 00:18:18.420 --> 00:18:20.656
- It, says that a man was born in the house of levi,
- 00:18:21.657 --> 00:18:24.560
- And when he took his wife, a daughter of levi,
- 00:18:24.560 --> 00:18:27.696
- And the woman conceived and had a son.
- 00:18:27.696 --> 00:18:33.035
- His two believers, probably vi.
- 00:18:33.669 --> 00:18:36.705
- She was pregnant.
- 00:18:36.705 --> 00:18:38.307
- They were married.
- 00:18:38.307 --> 00:18:39.741
- Nuclear family.
- 00:18:39.741 --> 00:18:42.544
- And can you imagine doing that pregnancy
- 00:18:42.544 --> 00:18:45.247
- When the eating of fatal row was.
- 00:18:45.247 --> 00:18:46.915
- If a male child is born.
- 00:18:46.915 --> 00:18:49.017
- Throw him in the river.
- 00:18:49.017 --> 00:18:51.386
- Can you matter what they prayed for, old lord?
- 00:18:51.386 --> 00:18:54.323
- Give us a female.
- 00:18:54.323 --> 00:18:56.558
- And you see that not a male, o lord
- 00:18:56.558 --> 00:19:00.095
- Gives a female, but a male child was born.
- 00:19:00.095 --> 00:19:04.233
- And when she saw that he was a beautiful child,
- 00:19:04.233 --> 00:19:06.935
- The word beautiful, that means sort of a special gift.
- 00:19:06.935 --> 00:19:11.406
- And she hid him three months while she nursed him.
- 00:19:11.406 --> 00:19:15.944
- But when she could no longer hide him,
- 00:19:15.944 --> 00:19:18.647
- She took an ark of bulrushes,
- 00:19:18.647 --> 00:19:21.783
- And the child put the child in it,
- 00:19:22.551 --> 00:19:26.455
- And laid it the reeds by the river banks.
- 00:19:26.455 --> 00:19:30.626
- A woman of
- 00:19:30.926 --> 00:19:31.827
- Faith had courage planned for this baby,
- 00:19:31.827 --> 00:19:34.463
- And she did exactly what pharaoh said.
- 00:19:34.463 --> 00:19:38.634
- Throw the child in the river.
- 00:19:38.634 --> 00:19:41.003
- And she did.
- 00:19:41.003 --> 00:19:42.938
- She had faith.
- 00:19:42.938 --> 00:19:44.439
- She had courage.
- 00:19:44.439 --> 00:19:45.407
- And she had creative thinking.
- 00:19:45.407 --> 00:19:47.976
- This mother did this, chocolate it.
- 00:19:47.976 --> 00:19:51.013
- And then we have another fabulous, fabulous woman.
- 00:19:52.047 --> 00:19:54.950
- That's miriam.
- 00:19:54.950 --> 00:19:56.952
- Miriam was, in all probability, the older child already born.
- 00:19:56.952 --> 00:20:00.856
- Aaron was another child of hers,
- 00:20:00.856 --> 00:20:04.259
- And the sister, miriam.
- 00:20:04.760 --> 00:20:08.597
- From afar
- 00:20:08.897 --> 00:20:09.831
- Off to know what should be done.
- 00:20:09.831 --> 00:20:12.801
- The sister followed that little ark into the nile.
- 00:20:12.801 --> 00:20:17.105
- Then the daughter of pharaoh came down to bathe
- 00:20:17.105 --> 00:20:19.808
- To the river, and her maidens walked along the riverside.
- 00:20:19.808 --> 00:20:23.879
- And when she saw the ark
- 00:20:23.879 --> 00:20:25.547
- Among the reeds and center made to get it.
- 00:20:25.547 --> 00:20:28.884
- And when she opened it, she saw the child.
- 00:20:28.884 --> 00:20:33.055
- Here's miriam.
- 00:20:33.388 --> 00:20:34.790
- Watch it now, 10 or 12 years old,
- 00:20:34.790 --> 00:20:38.060
- She goes down into the watch out for her
- 00:20:38.060 --> 00:20:40.228
- Three month old brother that's been born knowing that
- 00:20:40.228 --> 00:20:44.166
- If they find out, he would be drowned in the river.
- 00:20:44.166 --> 00:20:48.303
- And she watched and miriam
- 00:20:48.303 --> 00:20:50.539
- Had to discern
- 00:20:50.539 --> 00:20:53.442
- From bitner.
- 00:20:53.442 --> 00:20:56.278
- Who was that?
- 00:20:56.278 --> 00:20:57.346
- That was pharaoh's daughter. that was a princess.
- 00:20:57.346 --> 00:20:59.314
- She was how she would respond to this unwanted
- 00:20:59.314 --> 00:21:03.719
- Death sentence.
- 00:21:04.086 --> 00:21:04.920
- Pronounce on this hebrew child.
- 00:21:04.920 --> 00:21:06.621
- She had to read.
- 00:21:06.621 --> 00:21:08.724
- Read the princess to see how she responded.
- 00:21:08.724 --> 00:21:12.561
- And when she opened up and the princess responded
- 00:21:12.561 --> 00:21:15.997
- Positively, knowing it was a hebrew child.
- 00:21:15.997 --> 00:21:20.068
- That's when miriam boy, what faith she had in god,
- 00:21:20.068 --> 00:21:24.606
- What courage she had a 10 or 12 year old and what
- 00:21:24.606 --> 00:21:27.743
- Wonderful creative thinking she involved.
- 00:21:27.743 --> 00:21:30.879
- She went down there then, and as the princess
- 00:21:30.879 --> 00:21:34.549
- Must have held a baby, she said,
- 00:21:34.549 --> 00:21:39.087
- Do you want me to get
- 00:21:39.588 --> 00:21:42.124
- A woman to
- 00:21:42.124 --> 00:21:44.526
- Nurse this child?
- 00:21:44.526 --> 00:21:47.596
- And and
- 00:21:47.829 --> 00:21:48.997
- And the princess said, yes.
- 00:21:48.997 --> 00:21:52.300
- And mary went back home and said,
- 00:21:53.001 --> 00:21:56.304
- Jochebed, mom, come down.
- 00:21:56.872 --> 00:21:59.374
- We've got an assignment.
- 00:21:59.374 --> 00:22:02.344
- You're going to have to nurse the baby.
- 00:22:02.344 --> 00:22:05.847
- And by the way,
- 00:22:06.214 --> 00:22:07.215
- The princess said really
- 00:22:07.215 --> 00:22:08.316
- Carefully, i'm going to pay you for it.
- 00:22:08.316 --> 00:22:11.186
- What a deal.
- 00:22:11.186 --> 00:22:12.421
- How god works in this world.
- 00:22:12.421 --> 00:22:15.357
- And so jakob went down,
- 00:22:15.857 --> 00:22:19.828
- Got the child,
- 00:22:20.162 --> 00:22:22.497
- Took it home for about probably five years.
- 00:22:22.497 --> 00:22:25.467
- So the child was winged,
- 00:22:25.467 --> 00:22:28.003
- Trainable child.
- 00:22:28.003 --> 00:22:28.870
- And the way that he should go.
- 00:22:28.870 --> 00:22:30.005
- When he's old, he had not depart from it.
- 00:22:30.005 --> 00:22:31.807
- In those five years that mom built
- 00:22:31.807 --> 00:22:36.278
- A principles of god in that little baby boy.
- 00:22:36.278 --> 00:22:42.884
- And then what about before?
- 00:22:43.485 --> 00:22:46.922
- Somehow
- 00:22:47.155 --> 00:22:48.156
- The understanding of the sacredness of life
- 00:22:48.156 --> 00:22:50.826
- From the hebrews,
- 00:22:50.826 --> 00:22:51.760
- And that god who she'd seen all of their life
- 00:22:51.760 --> 00:22:54.763
- They worship, and how they were blessed
- 00:22:54.763 --> 00:22:56.631
- Because they were true worshipers.
- 00:22:56.631 --> 00:22:59.000
- She had faith in god, and that she had courage to go
- 00:22:59.000 --> 00:23:02.938
- And wait those 4 or 5 years until the child was weaned.
- 00:23:02.938 --> 00:23:06.875
- And then the mother gave up
- 00:23:06.875 --> 00:23:10.912
- To the princess, knowing she could not bring
- 00:23:10.912 --> 00:23:14.115
- Up the child in egypt.
- 00:23:14.115 --> 00:23:15.584
- And so the courage of jochebed
- 00:23:15.584 --> 00:23:18.186
- To give the baby to the princess.
- 00:23:18.186 --> 00:23:21.857
- And then the princess had the courage to,
- 00:23:21.857 --> 00:23:25.594
- With some critical thinking, navigate between this
- 00:23:25.594 --> 00:23:29.297
- Despotic pharaoh who pronounced a death sentence.
- 00:23:29.297 --> 00:23:33.435
- And then moses was taught
- 00:23:33.435 --> 00:23:36.705
- The highest form of education,
- 00:23:37.305 --> 00:23:39.574
- The highest form of military strategy.
- 00:23:39.574 --> 00:23:42.177
- He got a background in egyptian culture,
- 00:23:42.177 --> 00:23:45.180
- Which was second to none at this moment in history.
- 00:23:45.180 --> 00:23:49.317
- And by the way, it was before the prentice who named moses,
- 00:23:49.317 --> 00:23:54.656
- And the name moses mean to be brought out of
- 00:23:54.656 --> 00:23:59.995
- To be brought out of the river.
- 00:24:00.629 --> 00:24:02.430
- And moses later on lived up to his name.
- 00:24:02.430 --> 00:24:05.600
- And he brought the children of israel out of exile
- 00:24:05.600 --> 00:24:08.737
- Into life in the promised land.
- 00:24:08.737 --> 00:24:11.640
- How god works
- 00:24:11.640 --> 00:24:14.276
- In the world, ladies and gentlemen,
- 00:24:14.276 --> 00:24:17.045
- These five women had courage, had faith
- 00:24:17.913 --> 00:24:21.883
- In god, and had faith in god, gave them courage,
- 00:24:21.883 --> 00:24:24.786
- And that courage gave them creative critical thinking.
- 00:24:24.786 --> 00:24:29.057
- And all of a sudden, what is result?
- 00:24:29.057 --> 00:24:32.494
- You have moses,
- 00:24:32.861 --> 00:24:36.131
- Who was the most important person on this earth
- 00:24:37.065 --> 00:24:42.270
- Between adam and in the garden,
- 00:24:42.270 --> 00:24:45.674
- All the way to jesus in bethlehem.
- 00:24:45.674 --> 00:24:48.910
- Moses was the number one person to all humanity
- 00:24:48.910 --> 00:24:53.515
- And see how god preserved life
- 00:24:53.515 --> 00:24:57.485
- Through these five individual women who had faith in god.
- 00:24:57.485 --> 00:25:02.123
- They had courage and they became creative thinkers.
- 00:25:02.123 --> 00:25:07.395
- Motherhood, the feminine world,
- 00:25:08.029 --> 00:25:12.233
- The giftedness that is here.
- 00:25:12.233 --> 00:25:15.103
- Is because
- 00:25:15.403 --> 00:25:17.706
- She's a mother.
- 00:25:17.706 --> 00:25:21.076
- When i was a boy,
- 00:25:21.509 --> 00:25:22.777
- There was a popular little song called mother.
- 00:25:22.777 --> 00:25:26.548
- Derived from the acrostic motif.
- 00:25:26.548 --> 00:25:30.852
- Though the lyrics are not christian.
- 00:25:31.620 --> 00:25:33.755
- They are certainly universal in their application
- 00:25:33.755 --> 00:25:37.058
- Of mothers everywhere as a child.
- 00:25:37.058 --> 00:25:40.395
- I had to
- 00:25:40.395 --> 00:25:41.496
- Sing this over a radio station in laurel, mississippi.
- 00:25:41.496 --> 00:25:44.833
- Would you believe that?
- 00:25:44.833 --> 00:25:46.101
- And so, as a heartfelt tribute to mothers and mother figures
- 00:25:46.101 --> 00:25:50.772
- Everywhere, i decided to have some fun
- 00:25:50.772 --> 00:25:53.274
- With this little acrostic for mother's day.
- 00:25:53.274 --> 00:25:56.678
- For mother's day only.
- 00:25:56.678 --> 00:25:58.813
- So i've created a one week devotional for moms.
- 00:25:58.813 --> 00:26:02.717
- Through these pages, i hope to honor our mothers,
- 00:26:02.717 --> 00:26:06.254
- Glorify god, and inspire both mothers and children
- 00:26:06.254 --> 00:26:09.991
- To pray for those whom god has carefully designed
- 00:26:09.991 --> 00:26:14.062
- To nurture and guide each and every new generation.
- 00:26:14.062 --> 00:26:18.967
- To get you a copy.

- Or give one to your mother.
- 00:26:27.809 --> 00:26:29.477
- And by the way, keep one for yourself.
- 00:26:29.477 --> 00:26:38.153
- Dear heavenly
- 00:26:38.520 --> 00:26:39.320
- Father, we honor our mothers today.
- 00:26:39.320 --> 00:26:42.023

- Disciplined us and called for the best out of us
- 00:26:44.893 --> 00:26:48.763
- When we were young
- 00:26:48.763 --> 00:26:50.165
- And when we were
- 00:26:50.165 --> 00:26:51.299
- In the middle years, and even when we were teenagers.
- 00:26:51.299 --> 00:26:55.236
- Thank you for what they have done to make our lives
- 00:26:55.236 --> 00:26:58.773
- Count for you, o lord, and to make our lives
- 00:26:58.773 --> 00:27:02.210
- Make a difference in the broken world in which we live.
- 00:27:02.210 --> 00:27:05.880
- We honor our moms.
- 00:27:05.880 --> 00:27:08.516
- We trust that they will continue to love us
- 00:27:08.516 --> 00:27:12.287
- And even counsel us for all the days of their lives.
- 00:27:12.287 --> 00:27:17.125
- Keep us in your steps, in jesus name.
- 00:27:17.125 --> 00:27:20.929
- Amen.
- 00:27:20.929 --> 00:27:20.929
