Exodus 3
1 Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law, the priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the mountain of God, even to Horeb.
2 And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.
3 And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.
(It was not unusual for bushes to burst into flames with the heat of the desert, but for the bush not to be consumed was unusual.)
4 And when the LORD saw that he (Moses) turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I.
5 And HE said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.
6 Moreover HE said, I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look upon God.

7 And the LORD said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows;
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.
9 Now therefore, behold, the cry of the children of Israel is come unto ME: and I have also seen the oppression wherewith the Egyptians oppress them.
10 Come now therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth MY people the children of Israel out of Egypt.
11 And Moses said unto God, Who am I, that I should go unto Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt?
12 And HE (God) said, Certainly I will be with thee; and this shall be a token unto thee, that I have sent thee: When thou hast brought forth the people out of Egypt, ye shall serve God upon this mountain.
Is God with us in our project? If so, this is all we need. Did God assign us this work?

13 And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is HIS name? what shall I say unto them?
14 And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and HE said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.
It is the same with us today when God speaks to us and assigns us to a work.
Example: On January 10, 1980, as I was sleeping in the night, I was awakened by a very strong voice like a trumpet blowing 3 words into my ear as I slept: "Hartford, Seattle, KWJS."
I jumped out of bed and wrote "KWJS" on a notepad which I kept beside my bed. I thought it to be call letters to either radio or TV and I did not want to get these letters wrong.
When I found KWJS to be a Christian-type radio station, I said to God: "Are YOU telling me to go on radio? I wouldn't know how to do that."
Immediately I heard: "Call the radio station manager."
(When God calls us, HE will also show us what to do to accomplish HIS purpose.)
I said to God: "I'm a writer not a speaker." (But I did call the radio station manager as God told me to do just as soon as I thought the radio business office would be open.)
I asked to speak to the station manager and when he came on the phone, I said to him: "God might be showing me to go on radio. How would you to do?"
He told me: "Make an audition tape 29 1/2 minutes long and send it to me and if you fit our broadcasting we will offer you a contract."
I recorded a tape that same morning and mailed it by US mail to the station manager.
Within 5 days, I was broadcasting exhortations to the church on radio KWJS.
It was as simple as that.
***
Just do what God tells you to do.
