Permanent Prayers - Permanent Blessings


Pericope:  Exodus 3:7-10 - 7 The Lord said, “I have indeed seen the misery of my people in Egypt. I have heard them crying out because of their slave drivers, and I am concerned about their suffering. 8 So I have come down to rescue them from the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land into a good and spacious land, a land flowing with milk and honey—the home of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites. 9 And now the cry of the Israelites has reached me, and I have seen the way the Egyptians are oppressing them. 10 So now, go. I am sending you to Pharaoh to bring my people the Israelites out of Egypt.”

Sermon Text: Exodus 3:9 9 And now, behold, the cry of the people of Israel has come to me, and I have also seen the oppression with which the Egyptians oppress them.

Point 1:  Prayers are generational. Vs 6 Then he said I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob

Point 2: Prayers are answered through a process. Vs. 8 So I have come down to rescue them from the hand of the Egyptians…

Point 3: Walk in the Permanent Blessings from prayers. Exodus 3: 8b A land flowing with milk and honey, to the place of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites.  God said he was going to bless a thousand generations.  Exodus 20:6 NLT But I lavish unfailing love for a thousand generations on those who love me and obey my commands. 

Numbers 23:20 Listen, I received a command to bless; God has blessed, and I cannot reverse it!
