We must expect God to move in Power today. In Exodus 3:2 the Angel of the Lord appeared to Moses in a flame of fire in the middle of a bush. Moses was not expecting to meet with God, and he did not see Him, he simply saw a BUSH ON FIRE. If you were walking along the street, and you saw a tree on fire, you would go and look. But when Moses looked, it was not normal, the fire was in the tree, but the tree was not burnt! It was the evidence of the presence of God like burning fire!
People today say, I cannot see God. Where is He? But whenever I preach the Gospel I say, ‘I will PROVE to you that God is here, because God will work MIRACLES,’ unusual things like this burning bush!
God spoke to Moses out of that fire, ‘I have seen the affliction of My people which are in Egypt, I’ve heard their cry. I know their sorrows.’ So many people do not understand who God is. He is not just a great Being in Heaven. If unbelieving people try to draw pictures of God, often they liken Him to an old man with a beard. But God is not an old man, nor does He look like you, He can only be recognised by His actions! And God is not just in Heaven, He is everywhere, in Israel, in England, in America, in Bulgaria...
Now, how did Moses know that he was talking with God? He saw a burning tree. When I preach the Gospel, you will not see a burning tree, but you WILL see the power of God! God said to Moses, ‘I have heard your prayers, I’ve heard your cry.’ But you say, I don’t know how to pray. God not only hears but sees the cries of your heart! God knows your pain; God knows your weakness. God hears the person who is crippled with arthritis, the murderer in prison, the drug addict. God does not condemn; He hears their cry. He WANTS to answer with a fiery demonstration.
So God said to Moses, ‘Go and find this old devil Pharaoh and tell him, let these people go!’ Today He calls us to say the same to the devil about the drug addicts, the alcoholics, the sinners, the criminals, the people that are hurting, the people that are in need, ‘Let them go!’
'Moreover he said, "I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob." And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look upon God. And the Lord said, "I have surely seen the affliction of my people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows; and I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians,"' (Exodus 3.6-8, KJV).
