Sermon #B705 - Get Out Of Egypt
00:00:07.50\00:00:20.78
Dr. Byrd: If you have your
Bibles take them with me to the
Book of Exodus and we are going
00:00:20.82\00:00:24.75
to go to Exodus and we are going
to Chapter sixteen, verses one,
two, and three, just three
00:00:24.79\00:00:32.69
verses today. Exodus chapter
sixteen, verses one, two and
three, and I am going to read
00:00:32.73\00:00:41.07
and you are hearing from the
King James version of the Bible.
Exodus chapter sixteen verses
00:00:41.10\00:00:49.74
one, two, and three. The word of
God says, "And they took their
journey from Elim, and all the
00:00:49.78\00:00:57.89
congregation of the children of
Israel came unto the wilderness
of sin, which is between Elim
00:00:57.92\00:01:03.76
and Sinai, on the fifteenth day
of the second month after their
departing out of the land of
00:01:03.79\00:01:12.90
Egypt." Verse two, "And the
whole congregation of the
children of Israel, murmured
00:01:12.93\00:01:16.50
against Moses and Aaron in the
wilderness. Verse number three,
"And the children of Israel said
00:01:16.54\00:01:24.68
unto them, Would to God we had
died by the hand of the Lord in
the land of Egypt, when we sat
00:01:24.71\00:01:36.96
by the flesh pots, and when we
did eat bread to the full; for
ye have brought us forth into
00:01:36.99\00:01:46.27
this wilderness, to kill this
whole assembly with hunger."
Today our message is entitled,
00:01:46.30\00:01:52.44
Get Out of Egypt. Father God we
ask right now, that you would
bless us. Lord we have had
00:01:52.47\00:01:59.68
powerful ministry and song,
powerful ministry in music, we
have been reminded that God, You
00:01:59.71\00:02:06.79
will keep us in perfect peace
when we keep our mind stayed on
You. Thank you for that promise
00:02:06.82\00:02:13.29
today. We are listening to an
inspiring interview, and we have
been challenged about the fact
00:02:13.33\00:02:19.27
that faith without works is
dead, and so therefore the
church as not just got to be in
00:02:19.30\00:02:22.97
the building, but we have got to
be outside of the four walls
serving humanity. Now we need a
00:02:23.00\00:02:28.44
word from You, because if we do
not hear from You, what will we
do. One of you more each day,
00:02:28.48\00:02:34.32
Lord show us Your perfect way.
There is no other way we can
live, so speak Lord for your
00:02:34.35\00:02:40.72
servants here hiding behind the
cross of Jesus Christ, forgive
me of my sins. And when the
00:02:40.76\00:02:52.30
appeal time comes Lord, do what
You do by the power of Your Holy
Spirit. Thank you for hearing
00:02:52.33\00:03:01.71
and thank you for answering this
prayer in Jesus name, amen. Get
Out of Egypt. It has been one
00:03:01.74\00:03:08.05
month since the Israelites'
departure from Egypt. And now,
if you read the story, they are
00:03:08.08\00:03:17.59
in the wilderness. But they are
complaining to Moses because
they are hungry, they are hungry
00:03:17.63\00:03:21.20
and they want food and they
believe that Moses has brought
them out into the Wilderness to
00:03:21.23\00:03:26.33
die. Now, you will remember also
that the Israelites had
complained three times earlier
00:03:26.37\00:03:32.87
or before in the book of Exodus
to Moses. You will remember in
Exodus chapter five, they
00:03:32.91\00:03:43.75
complained to Moses because they
said that he had caused pharaoh
to make things harder for them.
00:03:43.79\00:03:46.62
In the second instance in Exodus
fourteen, they complained to
Moses because they said, he had
00:03:46.65\00:03:53.53
taken them out of Egypt. They
are now at the Red Sea, in front
of them is water, behind them is
00:03:53.56\00:04:02.57
Pharaoh and his soldiers and
that they were going to die.
Then instance number three, the
00:04:02.60\00:04:07.08
Bible teachers in Exodus
fifteen, they complained to
Moses about the bitter water
00:04:07.11\00:04:15.18
they had to drink. And so now we
have come to this fourth
instance in Exodus chapter
00:04:15.22\00:04:18.29
sixteen, and they complained
that they have no food to eat.
Now I must admit, that I am a
00:04:18.32\00:04:23.63
little troubled because of their
complaining, because after
living four hundred years in
00:04:23.66\00:04:32.83
captivity in Egypt the children
of Israel had experienced God's
mighty hand, deliver them from
00:04:32.87\00:04:39.61
mean old Pharaoh. They had
witnessed the mighty hand of God
defeat the most powerful army on
00:04:39.64\00:04:45.51
the face of the globe. They were
slaves one day, but they were
saved the next day, hallelujah.
00:04:45.55\00:04:53.02
They had seen God release frogs
and flies and lice to fight
Pharaoh. They had seen God make
00:04:53.05\00:04:59.56
a Red Sea, a dry highway. They
had seen pharaoh and his six
hundred chosen chariots get
00:04:59.59\00:05:07.27
drowned in the Red Sea. The
Bible says it was so powerful
that when Moses' sister Miriam
00:05:07.30\00:05:13.71
looked back and saw the man who
had oppressed them. Saw the man
who had raped their women, saw
00:05:13.74\00:05:17.95
the man who had beaten their
sons drowning in the Red Sea.
The Bible says, she grabbed a
00:05:17.98\00:05:23.72
tambourine and she started
beating that tambourine and
dancing before God. And it was
00:05:23.75\00:05:31.36
God who said, the enemies that
you see today, you shall see
them no more. They had seen God
00:05:31.39\00:05:39.07
set up a dry cleaners in the
wilderness, because there is no
way you could be around the same
00:05:39.10\00:05:45.54
people every day with the same
clothes on smelling good unless
God provided for your progress.
00:05:45.57\00:05:52.61
Do I have a witness online? They
had seen God turn the bitter
Waters of Murabba, it is a cool
00:05:52.65\00:06:02.92
calm waters from which they
could drink. But now in Exodus
sixteen, they have amnesia. And
00:06:02.96\00:06:10.13
they forgotten all of what God
has done for them and now they
are whining. Now they are
00:06:10.17\00:06:17.01
grumbling, now they are
murmuring, now they are
complaining. And they say the
00:06:17.04\00:06:24.85
Bible records in verse number
three, "We wish that the Lord
had killed us in Egypt. At least
00:06:24.88\00:06:28.38
in Egypt we could sit down and
eat meat and as much food as we
wanted." But let us be clear
00:06:28.42\00:06:36.76
here, the Israelites are not
facing a famine here. They are
not facing starvation either.
00:06:36.79\00:06:41.16
They are probably starting to
complain right before they run
out of of food or immediately
00:06:41.20\00:06:52.31
after they have run out of food.
But not only that, their claim
that they were better off in
00:06:52.34\00:07:01.15
Egypt was a foolish one. They
were slaves back in Egypt. And
the Egyptians did not treat them
00:07:01.18\00:07:12.89
well, so while it might have
been true that they had food in
Egypt it was not an
00:07:12.93\00:07:20.30
all-you-can-eat buffet like they
were making it sound like. But
not only that, they do not want
00:07:20.34\00:07:25.84
to turn to God to help them with
their problem. But the first
thing they do is complain
00:07:25.87\00:07:32.41
against Moses. They said, you
Moses, you brought us out here
to die. It was you. Now, that is
00:07:32.45\00:07:43.06
also a silly statement because
Moses had sacrificed and given
so much for his people. Most of
00:07:43.09\00:07:58.07
us know the story of Moses,
because Pharaoh had commanded
all the newborn boys to be
00:07:58.11\00:08:07.98
thrown in the Nile River. Moses,
the Bible teaches, hid him for
three months and then prepared a
00:08:08.02\00:08:11.65
basket boat, knowing that
Pharaoh's daughter would come to
a certain spot to bathe. She put
00:08:11.69\00:08:18.06
him in the boat and placed the
boat along the banks of the Nile
River. Now the princess found
00:08:18.09\00:08:25.97
and fell in love with the baby
because we all know that a woman
cannot resist picking up a baby.
00:08:26.00\00:08:34.61
She took Moses as her son and
then chose Moses' mother
Jochebed to become the baby's
00:08:34.64\00:08:37.75
nurse. God was orchestrating the
entire thing, because Moses was
raised as Pharaoh's adopted
00:08:37.78\00:08:43.95
grandson, but Jochebed, his real
mama taught him of his heritage
and taught him of the God of the
00:08:43.99\00:08:56.16
Hebrews. You do not hear what I
am saying. So even though Moses
look like an Egyptian, even
00:08:56.20\00:09:05.47
though his hair was like an
Egyptian, even though his
clothes were like an Egyptian,
00:09:05.51\00:09:11.98
even though he walks like an
Egyptian, even though he talked
like an Egyptian, even though he
00:09:12.01\00:09:22.72
behave like an Egyptian, Moses
was still a Hebrew. A Hebrew in
character, religion and loyalty.
00:09:22.76\00:09:31.07
The Bible says that he refused
to be called the son of
Pharaoh's daughter. He chose to
00:09:31.10\00:09:36.94
suffer the affliction with the
people of God rather than to
enjoy the pleasures of sin for a
00:09:36.97\00:09:46.72
season Moses grew up seeing is
people oppressed, he saw their
slavery, he saw their forced
00:09:46.75\00:09:52.55
labor, he saw their oppression,
but Moses loved his people. And
the Bible says at age forty,
00:09:52.59\00:09:57.86
when he saw an Egyptian beating
up on one of his people, the
Bible says, he looked to the
00:09:57.89\00:10:07.80
left and he looked to the right.
He looked everywhere and he
thought no one was looking, he
00:10:07.84\00:10:20.52
killed the Egyptian who was
beating on one of his people.
And the Bible says, he buried
00:10:20.55\00:10:30.16
the Egyptian in the sand. But
the sad thing is, one of his
fellow Hebrews saw him, sold him
00:10:30.19\00:10:38.90
out and went and told Pharaoh.
Let that be a lesson to somebody
today that somebody is always
00:10:38.93\00:10:46.34
watching you. But not only that,
the people you helped the most,
appreciated the least. Harriet
00:10:46.37\00:10:58.05
Tubman said it best, she said,
"I freed 1,000 slaves, but I
could have freed one thousand
00:10:58.09\00:11:01.69
more if only they had known they
were slaves." Acts seven, twenty
five said, it had been revealed
00:11:01.72\00:11:04.73
to the elders of Israel that
Moses was to be their deliverer.
But the Bible said, they
00:11:04.76\00:11:07.66
understood not. So Moses, now
flees, because Pharaoh knows
what he has done and Pharaoh
00:11:07.73\00:11:13.94
seeks to kill him. Moses ends up
being a shepherd in Midian. God
meets at the burning bush. God
00:11:13.97\00:11:19.91
calls Moses to ministry. Moses
reluctantly, but eventually
obeys God's call in his life to
00:11:19.94\00:11:25.11
lead the Israelites out of Egypt
into the promised land. So Moses
loved his people, Moses was a
00:11:25.15\00:11:31.55
good leader to his people and
their accusation about him was
false, foolish and fatuous. But
00:11:31.59\00:11:37.96
the problem with the Israelites
was, they had been physically
delivered out of Egypt, but
00:11:37.99\00:11:43.23
mentally they were still there.
Moses had the task of liberating
people who had been oppressed,
00:11:43.26\00:11:52.01
not only physically by Pharaoh,
but also mentally by Pharaoh.
They had adapted to being
00:11:52.04\00:12:00.78
enslaved, and even though they
had prayed for liberation,
sometimes we pray for things
00:12:00.82\00:12:08.46
ideologically that we are not
prepared to experience
practically. And so now, they
00:12:08.49\00:12:13.83
prayed for liberation, but they
resent the Liberator. Because
freedom requires that you give
00:12:13.86\00:12:17.73
up something of what you adapted
to. You see friends, it is one
thing to be delivered out of
00:12:17.77\00:12:24.07
Egypt, but it is another thing
to get the Egypt out of you. I
wish I had a witness in this
00:12:24.11\00:12:31.15
place. That is why you can take
some folk out of certain areas
physically, but you cannot take
00:12:31.18\00:12:41.49
the area out of them. The reason
why they are murmuring and
complaining, is because of the
00:12:41.52\00:12:49.63
effects of their Egyptian
experience. Egypt was bondage.
Pharaoh told them when, where
00:12:49.66\00:12:55.94
and how. Pharaoh shaped their
self-esteem. Pharaoh represents
a system, a system that controls
00:12:55.97\00:13:04.68
and a system that manipulates.
And if you are in bondage to the
system long enough, it would
00:13:04.71\00:13:14.02
create a mindset that becomes
institutionalized to the system.
And before long, you begin to
00:13:14.06\00:13:20.93
think that you can never be
anything, that you will never do
anything and because Pharaoh has
00:13:20.96\00:13:27.67
messed with and oppressed your
mind. Although you have been
delivered out of Pharaohs house,
00:13:27.70\00:13:34.61
Pharaoh is still in your house.
Some people cannot be delivered
from an Egyptian mindset. I have
00:13:34.64\00:13:40.88
learned that there are some
people that cannot get out of
Egypt. You see, Egypt, if I can
00:13:40.92\00:13:47.92
make it plain says, go and buy
an expensive car each. Egypt
says, buy a Mercedes, buy a BMW,
00:13:47.96\00:13:49.89
by Lexus, buy a Tesla, buy a
Cadillac, put some rims on it,
put some twenties on it, add
00:13:49.92\00:13:56.73
some spinners in it, but live
with your mama. And then when
you live with your mama, you
00:13:56.77\00:14:03.37
don't even try to buy a house,
but somebody needs to get out of
Egypt today. Egypt says, go
00:14:03.41\00:14:09.81
ahead and get every credit cards
you can, Visa, Mastercard,
Discover, American Express. Get
00:14:09.84\00:14:16.72
them, max them out, dress good,
look good, put all those clothes
on your back, Tom Ford, St.
00:14:16.75\00:14:19.19
John, Hugo Boss, Versace, Prada,
Louis Vuitton. Donna Karan, you
name it, you get it. Don't worry
00:14:19.22\00:14:25.59
about paying the balance off.
Egypt says, people do not want
to hear the gospel message of
00:14:25.63\00:14:32.33
Jesus. People do not want to be
baptized. You cannot build a
school. You cannot build a
00:14:32.37\00:14:40.64
Family Life Center. You cannot
renovate a church. You cannot
have a bona fide children's
00:14:40.68\00:14:49.22
ministry. You cannot have a
cutting edge media ministry. You
cannot further advance in
00:14:49.25\00:14:57.13
ministry. You do not have enough
money, it cost too much. Too
much this, too much that but I
00:14:57.16\00:15:03.60
am tired of Egypt. I am tired of
Egypt folk, I am tired of
visionless folk. If you cannot
00:15:03.63\00:15:11.24
see it, get up out of my way.
God said, I will supply all of
your needs according to my
00:15:11.27\00:15:20.55
riches in glory. You do not need
Egypt folk in your house, you do
not need Egypt folk in your car,
00:15:20.58\00:15:29.99
you do not need Egypt folk
texting you. You do not need
Egypt folk calling you, you do
00:15:30.03\00:15:34.20
not need Egypt folk around you,
because if they cannot see what
God has for you then they have
00:15:34.23\00:15:41.40
no business around you. Get out
of Egypt. Quit letting Pharaoh
mentally oppress you, quit
00:15:41.44\00:15:49.78
letting Pharaoh tell you, you
are nothing, that your mama was
nothing, that your daddy was
00:15:49.81\00:15:57.85
nothing and you will be nothing.
You are somebody, you were made
in God's image, you were made
00:15:57.89\00:16:04.53
after God's likeness, get out of
Egypt. For over 400 years, black
people have been denigrated,
00:16:04.56\00:16:12.20
degraded, decimated and
demoralized by many simply
because of the color of their
00:16:12.23\00:16:20.94
skin. For over 400 years just
like the Israelites, many black
people have been messed up
00:16:20.98\00:16:29.55
mentally. They have been messed
up by an Egyptian pharaoh rooted
oppressive system. For over 400
00:16:29.58\00:16:39.76
years, black people have had to
listen to the erroneous notion
that the black race was cursed,
00:16:39.79\00:16:49.97
through the lineage of Noah's
son Ham, and as a result, white
supremacy is justified. But in
00:16:50.01\00:17:00.35
the name of Jesus, that is a lie
from the pits of hell. I have
not been cursed, you have not
00:17:00.38\00:17:08.86
been cursed. I am a black man,
and I am proud of it. I am proud
of my blackness. I am proud of
00:17:08.89\00:17:16.13
my heritage. I am proud of who
God made me to be. I am not
ashamed of my brown skin. I do
00:17:16.16\00:17:26.11
not have to go to tanning salons
to get brown, I am already
brown. I am not ashamed of my
00:17:26.14\00:17:33.28
motionless obedient hair. When I
brush my hair in the morning, it
stays in place all night long,
00:17:33.31\00:17:40.72
all day long. It rather stay
still than fly in my eye. I am
not ashamed of my big nose, it
00:17:40.76\00:17:48.53
enables me breathe all of God's
air. I am not ashamed of my big
thick lips. When I kiss my wife,
00:17:48.56\00:17:55.20
she likes it because she can
feel the fullness of my lips. I
am not ashamed of the way God
00:17:55.24\00:17:59.17
made me, you should not be
ashamed of the way God made you,
we are all God's children. Red
00:17:59.21\00:18:07.38
and yellow, black and white, all
of us are precious in His sight,
get out of Egypt. Let me be
00:18:07.42\00:18:13.12
clear today, Black History Month
is not a time. It is not a time
either to take shots at white
00:18:13.15\00:18:19.03
people. Black History Month, is
a time to celebrate the
achievements, successes and
00:18:19.06\00:18:28.34
contributions of black people in
history. It is a time to educate
black people, white people, red
00:18:28.37\00:18:35.84
people, yellow people and all
people what God has done through
his people, through Martin
00:18:35.88\00:18:43.79
Luther King Jr, through Malcolm
X, through Nelson Mandela,
through Medgar Evers, through
00:18:43.82\00:18:55.10
John Lewis, through Mary McLeod
Bethune, through Sejourner
Truth, through Harriet Tubman,
00:18:55.13\00:19:02.70
through Rosa Parks, through
President Barack Obama, through
Vice President Kamala Harris,
00:19:02.74\00:19:10.78
through Stacey Abrams, through
Senator Raphael Warnock, but do
not stop there. People need to
00:19:10.81\00:19:20.02
know, that Henry Ford bought the
concept plans for the first
automobile from a black man.
00:19:20.06\00:19:26.33
People need to know that blacks

traffic signal, the clock, the
00:19:26.36\00:19:34.30
umbrella and the ironing board.
People need to know that a black

surgery. People need to know

00:19:38.71\00:19:45.78
Washington Carver invented over
three hundred products with the
peanut. People need to know that
00:19:45.81\00:19:52.55
a black man, Dr. Charles Drew
invented the blood bank. People
need to know that a black woman,
00:19:52.59\00:19:59.83
Dr. Shirley Ann Jackson invented
the touch-tone phone, caller ID
and fiber optic cable. People
00:19:59.86\00:20:06.84
need to know that I black woman,
Dr. Kizzmekia Corbett, was the
principal researcher who
00:20:06.87\00:20:11.04
developed the Covid-19 vaccine.
People need to know that it was
the Tuskegee Airmen who fought
00:20:11.07\00:20:19.15
in World War Two for the United
States, despite being racially
discriminated against within and
00:20:19.18\00:20:27.79
outside the Army once shot down
three German jets in a single
day. People need to know that
00:20:27.82\00:20:32.16
highly developed empires existed
in many parts of Africa,
hundreds of years ago. Way
00:20:32.19\00:20:42.67
before the onslaught of slavery
exploitation in the 1500s, get
out of Egypt. But remember I
00:20:42.70\00:20:49.51
said that Black History Month is
the time to educate not only non
black people, but it is also a
00:20:49.54\00:20:54.88
time to educate black people
too. You see too many of us, are
fake woke. Too many of us are
00:20:54.92\00:20:59.12
ashamed. Too many of us are
scared of who we are, but we
need to shake off the Pharaoh
00:20:59.15\00:21:06.39
enslavement, but just like the
Israelites we have conformed to
a system, a system that
00:21:06.43\00:21:12.93
perpetuates itself. Systems are
built for you to go along to get
along. Systems are not built for
00:21:12.97\00:21:20.71
change, systems are not built
for radical movements, systems
are in place to keep the status
00:21:20.74\00:21:30.35
quo to keep things the way they
are for example. In any
organizational system the ones
00:21:30.39\00:21:38.29
in charge of the system are
hesitant to change the system
because that would mean it would
00:21:38.33\00:21:44.97
compromise their place in the
system. Put another way, nobody
wants to vote themselves out of
00:21:45.00\00:21:51.44
a job. In our church system, we
are hearing cries to reform the
church structure. We are hearing
00:21:51.47\00:21:57.35
cries to reform the system, but
to change the structure, to
change the system. You would
00:21:57.38\00:22:01.38
have to change the people, which
would mean the very people who
make the decisions to change the
00:22:01.42\00:22:09.62
system would have to vote
themselves out of their
positions and they are not going
00:22:09.66\00:22:18.93
to do that. And so to keep the
people at bay, system leadership
will pit people up against each
00:22:18.97\00:22:27.68
other with a divide and conquer
philosophy or better yet, do as
I say and I will look out for
00:22:27.71\00:22:33.92
you for a position up the road,
because if you are a field
slave, just be quiet and sooner
00:22:33.95\00:22:37.15
than later I will make you a
house slave, preach Pastor Byrd.
Let me tell you something, I
00:22:37.19\00:22:43.32
have learned nobody hires you to
make you rich, they hire you to
make them rich. They do not pay
00:22:43.36\00:22:52.07
you so you can have retirement,
they pay you enough so you will
come to work on Monday morning.
00:22:52.10\00:22:59.87
Give you enough benefit so you
can make them money and you will
not quit the job. You all do not
00:22:59.91\00:23:06.72
hear what I am saying, you all
not ready for this. But if you
got vision that is bigger than
00:23:06.75\00:23:13.39
the system. You have to learn
how to open up some stuff in
your life. You got to have more
00:23:13.42\00:23:20.46
than one thing going on in your
life. You got to have something
else going on, you got to do
00:23:20.50\00:23:27.80
something else. So whatever that
is, do it. Write a book, get
some professional development.
00:23:27.84\00:23:32.94
Take a computer class. Start a
new degree or finish the degree
you started. Do some workshops,
00:23:32.97\00:23:39.88
teach a class. You cannot waste
your time fixing to or getting
ready to. But you got to
00:23:39.91\00:23:52.19
understand somebody, that this
is the day the Lord hath made,
let us rejoice and be glad in
00:23:52.23\00:24:01.30
it, get out of Egypt. Stop
complaining about what you do
not have and use what you do
00:24:01.34\00:24:10.25
have. God has not led and
brought you this far to leave
you. I am almost done but I got
00:24:10.28\00:24:14.68
to say this, Carol Linda Anne at
night says, many of us struggle
with low self-esteem because we
00:24:14.72\00:24:24.43
are more familiar with the
American side of who we are than
the African side. She says, but
00:24:24.46\00:24:28.90
we need to get in touch with the
African side of our identity.
Then we will know that we came
00:24:28.93\00:24:33.47
from a great family structure
where men are Kings where women
are Queens. Where children
00:24:33.50\00:24:40.31
affirm every aspect of their
identity. We need to remember
the great ancient cities that
00:24:40.34\00:24:44.98
were built, the many
contributions that we made to
medicine and science, literature
00:24:45.01\00:24:51.92
and the arts, religion and
business. We need to get in
touch friends of mine with the
00:24:51.95\00:25:01.36
African side to know that we are
a great people. We are a great
people with a great history. And
00:25:01.40\00:25:07.80
so we got to stop reciting the
failure studies that have been
done in our communities. That is
00:25:07.84\00:25:14.61
a plot and plan of the enemy. We
must never forget that our God
has always done great things
00:25:14.64\00:25:22.18
through Africans. What am I
talking about? They gave us
straw but we gave them bricks.
00:25:22.22\00:25:31.36
They gave us seeds but we gave
them cotton. They gave us
sorrow, but we gave them songs.
00:25:31.39\00:25:37.43
They gave us pain, but we gave
them poems. They gave us
trouble, but we turned it into a
00:25:37.47\00:25:41.70
testimony. They gave us
segregation, but we gave them
Spellman. They gave us misery,
00:25:41.74\00:25:46.21
but we gave them Morehouse. They
gave us terror but we gave them
Tuskegee. They gave us horror,
00:25:46.24\00:25:50.05
but we gave them Howard. They
gave us failures, but we gave
them Fisk. They gave us
00:25:50.08\00:25:57.69
opposition, so we started
Oakwood. And when we realize who
we are, and we realize whose we
00:25:57.72\00:26:03.89
are, then we will begin to see
deliverance from a mindset that
tries to keep us from
00:26:03.93\00:26:13.20
experiencing what God has for
our lives. Get out of Egypt. I
said, get out of Egypt. God
00:26:13.23\00:26:21.88
already parted the Red Sea. God
has already given you water out
of a rock. God has already
00:26:21.91\00:26:32.09
giving you Manna from heaven.
God healed you through a brazen
serpent. Physically you are out
00:26:32.12\00:26:46.63
of Egypt but mentally get out of
Egypt. Stop being oppressed by
Egypt system. Stop murmuring,
00:26:46.67\00:26:58.31
stop complaining, get out of
Egypt. But it is not just Egypt
mindset. It is not just Egypt
00:26:58.35\00:27:10.29
system, but it is also Egypt
sins. You got to get out of
Egypt and let them sins go too.
00:27:10.33\00:27:14.46
You see if you are holding on to
something, that does not belong
to you and was never intended
00:27:14.46\00:27:19.27
for your life then you better
let it go. Are you hearing what
I am saying? You got to let it
00:27:19.30\00:27:21.64
go. If you are holding on to
envy, jealousy and a crab
mentality against somebody else,
00:27:21.67\00:27:27.58
you got to let it go. If you are
holding on to past hurts and
pains, let it go. If someone
00:27:27.61\00:27:33.45
cannot treat you right and love
you back and see your worth, you
got to let it go. If somebody
00:27:33.48\00:27:40.59
has angered you, you got to let
it go. If you are holding on to
some thoughts of evil revenge
00:27:40.62\00:27:46.56
and retribution Let it go. If
you are in a bad relationship or
a phase with a bad addiction,
00:27:46.59\00:27:57.37
you have got to let it go. If
there is a sin that is making
you do permanent things with
00:27:57.41\00:28:07.72
temporary people, you have got
to let it go. If you are holding
on to a job that no longer meets
00:28:07.75\00:28:22.26
your needs or your talents, let
it go. If you got a bad
attitude, let it go. If you keep
00:28:22.30\00:28:37.31
