Your Pharaoh
This message will not leave me alone today, but it is loud and clear.
The Lord will not return you to your Egypt.
Yes, your Pharaoh may pursue and chase after you.
Yes, that can feel frightening and you may feel anxiousness building from that fear.
Yes, your Pharaoh may feel the need to not relent in the pursuit.
BUT IT ENDS! There is hope in that!!
Scripture tells us in Exodus 14 the following:
13 Moses answered the people, “Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the Lord will bring you today. The Egyptians you see today you will never see again. 14 The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.”
Be still and be consistent. Let the Lord fight your battles.
Scripture continues in chapter 14 to say:
23 The Egyptians pursued them, and all Pharaoh’s horses and chariots and horsemen followed them into the sea. 24 During the last watch of the night the Lord looked down from the pillar of fire and cloud at the Egyptian army and threw it into confusion. 25 He jammed[b] the wheels of their chariots so that they had difficulty driving. And the Egyptians said, “Let’s get away from the Israelites! The Lord is fighting for them against Egypt.”
26 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand over the sea so that the waters may flow back over the Egyptians and their chariots and horsemen.” 27 Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and at daybreak the sea went back to its place. The Egyptians were fleeing toward[c] it, and the Lord swept them into the sea. 28 The water flowed back and covered the chariots and horsemen—the entire army of Pharaoh that had followed the Israelites into the sea. Not one of them survived.
Listen to me when I say this, there will be a day when your Pharaoh is going to stand before the Lord only to be swallowed into the sea of their own demise.
How many times do you think the enslaved Israelites questioned the Lord while they were toiling under the unforgiving Eqyptian sun? When will we be free? When will our thirst for promised freedom be quenched?
God didn’t bring you this far just to leave you where you are. Just like He didn’t bring the Israelites all the way to the sea just to leave them trapped. He made a way for them by opening up the sea so they could walk through it before Pharaoh reached them. So sweet reader He’s going to open up the sea before you too!!
You’re anointed not defeated.
