Walking out of Into Pt 1

PART I EXODUS
WALKING OUT OF—INTO
This is a message I shared a few years ago. And this message still applies
today. We seem to keep walking in and out of the same things. I challenge
you to start living by Faith in your everyday living.
What are some things WE WALK OUT OF — INTO?
WE WALK OUT OF—
• Negative thinking INTO Positive thinking
• Being Homeless INTO building homes and giving away homes
• Fired off a job INTO building and owning a company (Entrepreneurship)
• Forgiveness INTO freedom (forgiving releases you from bondage) and
be sure to forgive yourself.
• Debt (drowning in bills) INTO more than enough (enough to clear someone else’s debt)
• Terminal illness INTO healing
• Child who walked out of your life INTO a child praising and worshipping God with you
• A failing business INTO a Fortune 500 company (successful business)
• A failing marriage INTO a restored marriage
• GREATNESS INTO ELEVATED GREATNESS
The book of Exodus inspired this message. Exodus was written by Moses according to the Torah. The name “Moses” comes from a Hebrew verb meaning “to pull out” or “to draw out” (of water). He was given this name by Pharaoh’s daughter after she had her maid rescue him from the Nile. (Exodus 2:5-10) There are 40 chapters in the book of Exodus.
As I was reading Exodus, I thought about how Moses was rescued and raised by royalty. Even as babies and children we Walk Out Of—Into. The children of Israel became slaves in Egypt when a new Pharaoh (king) came to power
who was unaware of their history. The book of Exodus is the history of Israel’s bondage in Egypt and their departure from Egypt. It also includes the Ten Commandments and the establishment of the covenant at Mount Sinai. The book begins by identifying the names of the children of Israel which came into Egypt. There were seventy souls that came with Jacob. Joseph (Jacob’s son) was already in Egypt. The king (pharaoh), started to notice that the children of Israel were multiplying. Now, this concerned the new pharaoh. He advised the people to handle the children of Israel carefully. His reasoning was that the Israelites were stronger and more numerous than the Egyptians. With his toxic thinking he forced the Hebrews into slavery. The king became very cruel
towards the Hebrews.
The Hebrews walked out of a comfortable life into slavery. It happened because a king feared the unknown about the children of Israel and only saw impossibilities, not possibilities. Imagine how often we witness situations
where people walk out of, and into, scenarios that are truly unimaginable. Often it is due to our toxic thinking towards life. Sometimes you leave one situation and enter another because of someone else’s actions. Fortunately,
it’s not always a negative experience.
