Have You Been Sent By I AM?

​Exo. 3:13-14 - Then Moses said to God, "Behold, I am going to the sons of Israel, and I will say to them, 'The God of your fathers has sent me to you.' Now they may say to me, 'What is His name?' What shall I say to them?" God said to Moses, "I AM WHO I AM "; and He said, "Thus you shall say to the sons of Israel, 'I AM has sent me to you.'"  NASU 

• Moses Was Sent 

In our text today God has spoken to Moses from the burning bush. God informs Moses that He has seen the Israelite's sufferings and has heard their cry or aka prayers.  God wants to send Moses to deliver His people from their sufferings.
 
Ex. 3:7-8 - The LORD said, "I have surely seen the affliction of My people who are in Egypt, and have given heed to their cry because of their taskmasters, for I am aware of their sufferings."So I have come down to deliver them from the power of the Egyptians…"
 
Has God sent you to deliver some of His people from their sufferings? There are a lot of people in this world and they are suffering from all types of cruel taskmasters.
 
Paul gives us a list sins that have captured people and are tormenting them in Gal 5:19-22:
 
Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are: immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, disputes, dissensions, factions, envying,

drunkenness, carousing, and things like these, of which I forewarn you, just as I have forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
 
Do you know anyone who is constantly causing strife in someone's life? Do you know anyone who is jealous of someone? How about one who is always angry? Do you know an envious person?
 
If you answered yes to any of these questions then God wants to send you like He did Moses to help free that person from that sin which is causing them to suffer.
 
If you help the person who is entangled in the sin you will also help the person being targeted from suffering. Notice what the apostle John said:
 
1 John 3:11-12 - For this is the message which you have heard from the beginning, that we should love one another; not as Cain, who was of the evil one and slew his brother. And for what reason did he slay him? Because his deeds were evil, and his brother's were righteous.
 
John says Cain killed Abel his brother because Abel's deeds were righteous. In other words, Abel was living the more honorable life. Cain was living the life that was all about him and controlled by his sinful desires.
 
He was envious and jealous of his brother so he killed him. Today character assassination is probably more rampant than actual physical murder but the person is still afflicted from the attack. 

• Are You Being Sent? 

So the question is: Are you being sent by "I AM" as Moses was to set free some of God's people who are being afflicted?
 
God has a mission for us and that is to help the afflicted or the ones suffering. You don't have to travel half way around the world to do mission work. You can do it in your neighborhood or at your work.

You can even do at the church assembly where you attend.
 
I AM wants us to help those who are hurting?
 
Who has some medical issue that is in need of a friend to comfort them and assure them that God is hearing their prayers?
 
Who is being bullied at work or at school that needs some one to share how they are being hurt in their life?
 
Who is going through a divorce because their partner was sexually immoral that needs a friend?
 
Well then go. I AM is sending you to help them.

God wants you to be His instrument of Grace. You will remember it was not easy for Moses to lead the children out of Egypt. It may not be easy for you either, but God is with you because you are one of HIS children.
 
Go and help one of God's children be free from what is causing them to suffer.
 
Think About These:
 
When we let God guide He will provide.
 
God still speaks to those who will take time to listen.
 
God will never allow anything to come to you that you and He can't handle.
 
Stay Pumped,
