Let My People Go

Let My People Go


The children of Israel battled much under the hand of Pharaoh but the Lord delivered them out of Egypt. Divine intervention set them free. Pharaoh was defeated but that same spirit that persecuted the Israelites then is alive and well today and seeking to again rise up for revenge. God is wanting to set the captives free. He has also called His bride to come out of Egypt and walk in the freedom He so dearly paid the price for. He has unlocked the prison doors and man needs to walk through them.

We see much violence in Egypt right now and the outcome could have grave consequences on the state of Israel, the Jewish people and the rest of the world. Yes, Pharaoh still rules in Egypt and other nations of the earth today. Out of this we may well see an even stronger task master. God has a perfect plan for His people. The Lord keep Moses, as a baby in the bulrushes and even allow him to be raised by Pharaohs daughter and so we know that the Lord can most assuredly keep His hand on His people. Later the Lord also brought the child Jesus out of Egypt and into the promised land. His plan of deliverance for His people is perfect and never too late.

Israel still needs deliverance from the same spirit of Pharaoh that fought them thousands of years ago and there will be a great battle first. Their deliverance will come and we must keep our eyes the author and finisher of our faith. The Lord Jesus Christ is the only true deliverer and will return and destroy the enemy with the brightness of His coming.

Let us watch, pray and stand with Israel in this most difficult time for as His bride we are engrafted into the vine. Jesus is returning for the one new man and our eyes need to be, on Him.

And the LORD said unto Moses, Pharaoh's heart [is] hardened, he refuseth to let the people go. Exodus 7:14
