DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------

D.L. Moody emphasizes the necessity of relying on God as our higher
source for deliverance, using the example of Moses, who initially failed
in his own strength to free the Israelites from Egypt. Moody illustrates
that true deliverance comes when we allow God to work through us, as
seen in Moses' transformation after years of preparation in the
wilderness. He stresses that we must recognize our limitations and seek
divine assistance to overcome both internal and external challenges. The
sermon encourages believers to trust in God's power rather than their
own abilities for true liberation.

"I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honour him"

(Ps. 91:15).

First, "I will deliver." When God called Moses to go down into Egypt to
deliver the children of Israel from the hand of the Egyptians, in all
the world there wasn't a man who, humanly speaking, was less qualified
than Moses. He had made the attempt once before to deliver the children
of Israel, and he began by delivering one man. He failed in that, and
killed an Egyptian, and had to run off into the desert, and stay there
forty years. He had tried to deliver the Hebrews in his own way, he was
working in his own strength and doing it in the energy of the flesh. He
had all the wisdom of the Egyptians, but that didn't help him. He had to
be taken back into Horeb, and kept there forty years in the school of
God, before God could trust him to deliver the children of Israel in
God's way. Then God came to him and said, "I have come down to deliver,"
and when God worked through Moses three million were delivered as easy
as I can turn my hand over. God could do it. It was no trouble when God
came on the scene.

Learn the lesson. If we want to be delivered, from every inward and
outward foe, we must look to a higher source than ourselves. We cannot
do it in our own strength.
