Pharoah is Betting on Your Blindness !
What up good people! How are you doing on this lovely Sunday? It’s been a pretty chill day for me but overall, it’s been well. I hope the same for you as well.
For a few days now I have been meditating on the destruction of Pharaoh. Believe it or not, his destruction came from a simple action that many people don’t realize they are scared to take. And while you are sitting there recalling the story what I want you to keep in mind is not the plagues Moses called down on Pharoah, I want you to focus on the Israelites.
When you recall the story of God using Moses to free his people. He sent Moses because God’s children were crying out (praying) about the hard labour that Pharoah had assigned to them as a manipulation to keep them in line. See Pharoah knew that the Israelites were greater and mightier than them. He knew he had to come up with a plan to keep them distracted from their true power. So what did he do? He increased their labor. He figured that if the Israelites stayed in bondage with hard labor that they would never see just how mighty in number and strength that they were.
When you read the story in Exodus ….. you see that his plan actually worked for a time. The one thing that Pharoah didn’t expect is that the Israelites would quit. See his plans ended up triggering the chain reaction that led to his ultimate demise despite his manipulations. Let me lay that out for you.
The Israelites cried out. They were praying to God about being free from their hard labor.
That triggered God’s hand in sending Moses to talk to Pharoah.
Moses began sending plagues because of Pharoah’s disobedience in letting the Israelites go.
The Israelites took action and stopped working.
Pharoah began to pursue the Israelites and Moses.
Pharoah ends up drowning in the red sea.
See, Pharaoh could have avoided his destruction had he let the Israelites go the first time Moses asked. However, what I want to focus on is #4. The Israelites took action and stopped working.
Pharoah wants and needs your labor. He needs it to maintain his appearance of power. Yet, he knows you, the Israelites, are more and mightier than him. (Yes, that is a blog on this page as well. Check it out when you have time.) See, we are living in a time where people want to fight and protest but they are scared to take the ultimate step of protest because they fear how they would look to others too much. The ultimate protest that the Israelites took was to remove themselves from the hard labor of Pharoah.
Why is that important to take into account? Let me give it to you from this perspective. Let’s say Moses called the plagues opened a door of opportunity for the Israelites to be free but they didn’t take it. Ultimately, they would have remained in bondage, possibly also been destroyed along with Pharaoh, etc etc right. The Israelites had to want to be free and take the steps to be so when the opportunity presented itself. Pharaoh only has power when he has slaves! He is betting on you remaining blind to the fact that you are in bondage to maintain his power.
God wants you free. Free from hard labor. Free from bondage. Freedom comes thru relationship with the father. Thru adoption by the Father. Pharoah only has power because you refuse to take your power back. Imagine Pharoah telling you what you could name your creation. Bahaha, please! Maybe, that’s just me. If you choose to stay blind to your power. Pharoah will continue to benefit off of your blindness.
You have the power. Will you use it?
Love ya,
Later.
There is NO Justice without Judgement!
Hello Beautiful People and Others! How have things been going your way? I hope you can say that things have been well despite the crazy things going on in this world today. I pray that you are able to keep the faith and stand strong.
We as a nation are in desperate need of justice on many fronts. We definitely need a cleansing in this nation but not necessarily in the way that the cleansing has been currently orchestrated in the United States. It seems that everyone who needs to be removed or locked up has escaped the full judgement they so rightfully deserve.
It is amazing how people desire justice to be served but hate the judgment that comes with it. See justice within itself embodies judgement. When we look at the word justice in the Strongs Concordance judgement is a word attached to it. There is no justice without judgement! Typically, in the courts there is a separation between the parties that are being brought to trial and evidence brought forth to the judge. After both parties have presented their case, a judgement is made in order for there to be justice brought forth in the trial.
As believers we often get caught up on God being a God of Peace and Love because that is what we love to rest in. I know I thoroughly enjoy my peace. How about you? However, God is also a God who enjoys judgement. When we look in the Old Testament we see so many examples of the judgement that God brought to different communities in that timeframe. When we look at how the world is today, we are sadly not far off from our own judgments coming to pass. So many things that God detest have been taking place for quite some time now and he is sure to return at any moment. There are some people who chose to carry on in this world as if they have all day to get their hearts, minds and spirits together but that is not the case.
We want freedom from the oppression that is being cast upon us slowly but surely but there are so many people who continue to scream “Only God can Judge me.” Completely dismissing the fact that when God does send judgement, he first sends either his prophet, angel or witnesses to administer his judgment. Stay sleep if you want to, but if you know, you know. Are you truly prepared to receive the justice you desire? I’d do a heart inspection and double check because there is no justice without judgement.
Stay vigilant. Stay prayed up. Stay ready.
Love ya, later!
