Out of Egypt Comes Great Blessing!

The Steadfastness of God’s Covenant Promise…

“Out of Egypt I called My Son” Hosea 11:1

As a youth Jesus was exiled into Egypt to avoid Herod’s assassins and the devil’s plan to eliminate Him from the face of the earth. It was not the first time in biblical history that we have read of similar plots against the covenant will of God toward His people and the giving of His gift of salvation to the peoples of the earth. Pharaoh commanded a similar event in Egypt at the birth of Moses, to kill every male Hebrew child from birth to 2 years of age simply to kill the prophecy that a savior would arise among the Hebrew people and set them free from the bondage of slavery. Just as Moses was pulled from the river Nile and saved so was Jesus successful in fleeing to Egypt until the death of Herod.

What was meant for evil, God turns to good!

In the course of the history of God’s people, we read of the many trials and tribulations that the Lord allowed us to experience. Some of these trials were because of the sin we held dearly twithout a heart of repentance. Some of these trials were just the attacks of the enemy of our souls who is in a constant state of warfare against the people of God. Some of these trials come to us because we live in a fallen world and are anxiously awaiting the Second Advent of Christ. And for others, they are in a constant state of pain and sin because they refuse to deal with the past and take authority through Christ the vain imaginations that attack them.

Even in all of these scenarios, the Lord brings power, revival, and blessing. Out of Egypt comes great blessing! Jesus lived in Egypt for 12 years for the purpose of finally being able to dwell in His Father’s land and preach the Good News of His coming. The answer to remove our condemnation of sin had come to an end. Our guilt was washed in the blood sacrifice of Christ. He confirmed it with His last statement on the cross, “It is Finished!” [John 19:28-30]. In the midst of our trials the Lord makes a way for our redemption. He brings revival to the situation and gives life where there was no hope.

In the days of Nebuchadnezzar when all hope for the Hebrew people seemed hopeless, God brought the prophet [seer] Daniel to the nation. His desire to serve the Lord proved to be a revelation to his people. He prophesied of Israel’s redemption, of their restoration of the temple worship, and of the coming Messiah. He lived to see the miracles of God performed in the midst of their bondage. He kept the feasts and the Law of Moses alive among his people honoring God and paying homage to Him. In return, the Lord honored His covenant promise and spoke of the seasons that would transpire before the appearing of the Ancient of Days. God always gives hope to His people even in their most trying moments. He shows us that we should expect seasons of miracles and supernatural wonders coming even in the midst of dark times.

Recent events in American history

The coming leadership of America is going to lead us into dark times. Weak leadership historically does. As the persecution of the church begins, the Lord has given us some beacons of hope to minimize the coming onslaught; the Supreme Court. However in spite of this several things will take place in the next four years that will change the course of American history as never before:

• The coming administration will try and manipulate the outcome of the Supreme Court by packing the court with more ungodly Justices.
• The coming administration will open our borders to illegals in record numbers bringing unprecedented crime.
• The deficit will climb proportionately with the unrighteousness of the administration.
• The church will be asked to compromise the Word of God by toning down the rhetoric on sin.
• The first woman President of the United States will enter the arena pushing the Jezebel agenda of the church’s greatest enemy.
• A deceptive spirit will continue to increase across the land and harden the hearts of the nation’s leadership just as in the days of Pharaoh and Moses.
• Free speech will be attacked by those who disagree with the agenda of the political left.
• The educational system will be used to continue an indoctrination of the next generation of Americans.
• Christianity will be considered a judgmental outdated way of life.

God’s Response

The Lord never sits on His hands or stays silent even in the midst of pagan attacks and persecution. His plan will be revealed, and His Second Advent is imminent. We need to ready ourselves for the following God events:

• An outpouring of supernatural events.
• Increased angelic visitation.
• Miracles, signs, and wonders.
• The Gospel message preached in greater conviction and expediency.
• Salvation, baptisms, and anointed Holy Spirit revivals.
• The next great harvest coming upon the land.
• It will be a world event.

Out of Egypt comes great blessing!

The history of the Church proves that the Lord moves in His people even when the world has set its sights on its destruction. No political system, no amount of persecution, and no determination by the evil one to destroy God’s people will prevent the will of God to bring the redemptive power of the Holy Spirit to the world through the Gospel of Jesus Christ [John 14:26].

Stand fast in His promises. Set your sights on the coming Advent of Christ and get busy with the things of God. Preach the Word, lay hands on the sick, feed the homeless, and bring the life of Christ to a lost and dying generation.
