(Exo12:5-7) Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year: ye shall take it out from the sheep, or from the goats: And ye shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month: and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the evening. And they shall take of the blood, and strike it on the two side posts and on the upper door post of the houses, wherein they shall eat it. (Exo12:12-13) For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the LORD. And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you…

12. (Exo 14:13) And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever. (Exo 14:28) And the waters returned, and covered the chariots, and the horsemen, and all the host of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them; there remained not so much as one of them.

13. (Psa 103:12) As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us. (Col 2:14) Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;

14. The Salvation experience from Egypt • The Satisfied experience of the Promise Land

15. (Joh 10:10) … I am come that they might have life,(Egypt) and that they might have it more abundantly. (Canaan)

16. The PURPOSE of the land

17. (Deu 6:23) And he brought us out from thence, that he might bring us in, to give us the land which he sware unto our fathers. (Lev 25:38) I am the LORD your God, which brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, to give you the land of Canaan, and to be your God.

18. (2Co 6:17) Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,

19. The PURPOSE of the land • The PROMISESof the land.

20. (Exo 3:8) And I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land unto a good land and a large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey; unto the place of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites.

21. (Neh 9:20) Thou gavest also thy good spirit to instruct them, and withheldest not thy manna from their mouth, and gavest them water for their thirst. (Neh 9:21) Yea, forty years didst thou sustain them in the wilderness, so that they lacked nothing; their clothes waxed not old, and their feet swelled not.

22. The PURPOSE of the land • The PROMISESof the land. • The POSSESSION of the land

23. (Num 13:2) Send thou men, that they may search the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel: of every tribe of their fathers shall ye send a man, every one a ruler among them. (Num 33:53) And ye shall dispossess the inhabitants of the land, and dwell therein: for I have given you the land to possess it. (Deu 3:18) And I commanded you at that time, saying, The LORD your God hath given you this land to possess it: ye shall pass over armed before your brethren the children of Israel, all that are meet for the war.

24. The Salvation experience from Egypt • The Satisfied experience of the Promise Land • The Shaping experience of the Wilderness

25. The PERIOD of time intended in the wilderness

26. (Deu 1:2) (There are eleven days' journey from Horeb by the way of mount Seir unto Kadeshbarnea.) (Deu 1:3) And it came to pass in the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first day of the month, that Moses spake unto the children of Israel…

27. A journey that was 300 miles and took 11 days to travel took them 40 years. They averaged 36 yards a day (field goal length)

28. The PERIOD of time intended in the wilderness • The PURPOSE of the wilderness

29. (Exo 13:17) And it came to pass, when Pharaoh had let the people go, that God led them not through the way of the land of the Philistines, although that was near; for God said, Lest peradventure the people repent when they see war, and they return to Egypt: (Exo 13:18) But God led the people about, through the way of the wilderness of the Red sea: and the children of Israel went up harnessed out of the land of Egypt.

30. (1Co 3:1) And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ. (1Co 3:2) I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able.

31. (Heb 5:12) For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat. (Heb 5:13) For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. (Heb 5:14) But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

32. The PERIOD of time intended in the wilderness • The PURPOSE of the wilderness • The PRIME enemy of the wilderness

33. (Exo17:8-) Then came Amalek, and fought with Israel in Rephidim. And Moses said unto Joshua, Choose us out men, and go out, fight with Amalek: to morrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the rod of God in mine hand. So Joshua did as Moses had said to him, and fought with Amalek: and Moses, Aaron, and Hurwent up to the top of the hill. And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed: and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed. But Moses' hands were heavy; and they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat thereon; and Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun. And Joshua discomfited Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.

34. So what is Discipleship?

35. Biblical discipleship is not the transfer of biblical knowledge from one individual to another, But it is the transfer of spiritual maturity from one believer to another

36. One on One Discipleship is often referred to as Life on Life. It is the heart of one person ministering to the heart of someone else. It is reproducing yourself in another Christian, ideally in a Christ-like way.

37. (Eph4:11-15) And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:

38. (2Ti 2:2) And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.
