Sermon Title:  Pray: Directions for Deliverance

Genesis 3:19 By the sweat of your brow

    you will eat your food

until you return to the ground,

    since from it you were taken;

for dust you are

    and to dust you will return.”

Point 1: You have to be Devoted. Exodus 16:4 4Then the Lord said to Moses, “I will rain down bread from heaven for you. The people are to go out each day and gather enough for that day. In this way I will test them and see whether they will follow my instructions.

Notice how Jesus put it.

·       John 5:8 8 Then Jesus said to him, “Get up! Pick up your mat and walk.”

Point 2: You have to be disciplined. Exodus 16:27 27 Nevertheless, some of the people went out on the seventh day to gather it, but they found none.

Point 3: You have to deny yourself. Exodus 16:19 19 Then

He wants you to deny yourself.

·       Luke 12:15 (NLT) 15 Then he said, “Beware! Guard against every kind of greed. Life is not measured by how much you own.”

·       Matthew 6:19 (NLT)  “Don’t store up treasures here on earth, where moths eat them and rust destroys them, and where thieves break in and steal.

·       Matthew 16:26 (NLT) And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul? Is anything worth more than your soul?
