Ex. 12

Whereas we no longer observe the Passover meal as instituted by God commemorating the departure from Egypt, we do observe Christ’s Last Supper with communion. We remember His body and blood when we partake.

As we do, we should ask for healing and cleansing from sin. His body was broken that ours might be whole. His blood was shed that ours wouldn’t need to be.

PRAISE His holy name.

Ex. 13

God told Israel that they would inherit Canaan. Yes, He kept His promise, but there was a stiff trial to accompany their reward. Exiting Egypt was difficult.

Your destiny will be glorious, but the trials you experience will give you a supreme appreciation for your reward when it comes.

“I wouldn’t take anything for the journey, but I’m glad I don’t have to do it again. “

Ex. 12

The Israelites we instructed to apply the blood of a lamb to the the door post and lintel to be passed over by the death angel. They could go on living because of the blood.

Jesus Christ, our Eternal Passover Lamb, willingly shed His Precious Blood so that we could go on living. NEVER lose your appreciation for His Blood.

Ex. 11

God hardened Pharoah’s heart so that the Egyptians experienced and suffered through all 10 plagues.

When God softens a hardened heart, there is often a striking contrast in faith and obedience. The converted heart is tuned for rapid growth and dedicated service. Take the Apostle Paul for example.

Praying for someone with a hardened heart? Don’t give up. Keep at it. A glorious transformation is on the way.

Ex. 10

Moses and Aaron were tasked with informing Pharoah of 10 plagues God was sending upon Egypt to persuade him to let the Israelites flee. He got the message. Boom … they were released!

God knows how to get our attention when He wants to see change. My mentor would say, “He will pull the pins on your chariot wheels and let you ride on axles for a while.”

Ex. 6

… before it gets better.

As the Children of Israel cried out to God for help, their working conditions actually deteriorated. They had to find their own straw to make bricks, whereas it had previously been supplied. They thought Moses was the bad guy, provoking Pharoah to be harsher upon them.

It all fit into God’s plan for their deliverance.

Are you praying and conditions are getting worse? Hold on. God is AT WORK!

Ex. 5

These famous words were what God told Moses to declare to Pharoah. God knew it would take a display of power to convince him. So, He equipped Moses with some tricks. It finally got the job done.

What’s holding you today? Do you need to be set free? God can do it. Call on His name.

Ex. 3

God raused up Moses to be a great deliverer for the Children of Israel. He humbly asked God, “Who am I?”

Truth is, we are all nobodies but God saw great value in us to be His greatly loved children. It’s said, “Your value is what someone is willing to pay.” Our Heavenly Father gave Hus Son as our value. There is no cost as great.

THAT’S who you are!

Ex. 2

When the children of Israel were hurting under the bondage and chastising of Pharoah, they cried out to God. Their prayers ASCENDED to God Who was in Heaven above. He heard them and mightily moved on their behalf.

When we pray, we lift UP holy hands, we look up to where our Help comes from. God resides OVER the affairs of men. When Christ was baptized, He looked up and heard His Father’s voice. A dove descended.

God is UP. He lifts men up. Don’t be down.

Ex. 2

Pharoahs daughter named the Hebrew baby she found “Moses” which meant drawn from the water.

What’s your name and what is its significance? Our son Jeffrey received his name, which means peaceful, because he looked so peaceful laying in his crib at the hospital.

The ultimate goal is to have our name written in the Lamb’s Book of Life. We will never die and be with Christ forever.
