If they do not believe you or pay attention to

 Exodus 4:1-9

Moses answered, “What if they do not believe me or listen to me and say, ‘The Lord did not appear to you?”

 “This,” said the Lord, “is so that they may believe that the Lord, the God of their fathers—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob—has appeared to you.”

Then the Lord said, “If they do not believe you or pay attention to the first sign, they may believe the second. But if they do not believe these two signs or listen to you, take some water from the Nile and pour it on the dry ground. The water you take from the river will become blood on the ground.”

The people won't believe me. 'God gives Moses three signs - demons, rations of God's power - with which to convince them that he really has met with God. This is the kind of magic they are familiar with; the kind that went with the religion of Egypt.

Why?

Moses asked the Lord how his people believe him or listen to him? This is a real question for Moses has left Egypt for 40 years.

God gives Moses three signs when he goes back to his people and before the Pharoah.

For God is with him, so Moses may do such magic matter. 

If God is with us, we don't need a magic show but to show our behavior to witness we are Christian.

神藉兩個神蹟及將發生的神蹟來激勵摩西。第三個神蹟後以色列人一定會相信摩西是神差派的。

摩西抓蛇尾巴，立即變回杖，一般如此。

神要摩西將杖丟下，這是摩西生活的必需品，信心的成長不是玩的抓住原有的依靠與權柄，而是放下交給神。摩西害怕蛇，如同害怕埃及的權柄。這根杖可以治伏埃及。杖變蛇，蛇變杖，勝過地上權柄，也是摩西放下來得權柄。勝過埃及的權柄

長大麻瘋是不潔淨的，得潔淨，神再次接納他，同樣以色列人也不潔淨，將得潔淨除去大麻瘋也建立摩西與神的關係，及摩西與百姓的關係。除去摩西自我厭棄的障礙。勝過摩西的自我厭棄。

河水取水倒在旱地上會變成血的神蹟，尼羅河是埃及人的聖河。河水變成血表示污穢埃及人的神。河神死了，直接挑戰埃及人的神，耶和華勝過埃及的神。

這三個神蹟在除去摩西三個心理障礙。

耶穌基督的權柄1)勝過撒旦的權柄，至死順服神，透過黑暗權勢，2)使我們罪得潔淨，不再自我厭棄，得著神的接納、得著人的接納，勝過我們的軟弱，信心不足，3)勝過魔鬼、黑暗的權勢。神蹟在解決人的問題。神透過耶穌基督使我們剛強起來，跨越我們無法勝過的障礙。

How?

Show our behavior with humility and love to witness we are the Christian.
