My God fights for me !!!

Exodus 14: 10-14

10 When Pharaoh drew near, the people of Israel lifted up their eyes, and behold, the Egyptians were marching after them; and they were in great fear. And the people of Israel cried out to the Lord;

 

11 and they said to Moses, “Is it because there are no graves in Egypt that you have taken us away to die in the wilderness? What have you done to us, in bringing us out of Egypt?

 

12 Is not this what we said to you in Egypt, ‘Let us alone and let us serve the Egyptians’? For it would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in the wilderness.”

 

13 And Moses said to the people, “Fear not, stand firm, and see the salvation of the Lord, which he will work for you today; for the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall never see again.

 

14 The Lord will fight for you, and you have only to be still.”

Safety is something we all desire, and protection appears to be a fundamental right of a citizen of a country. However, when one is not in their own country, as was the case in Israel, they are subject to the laws of that country. Israel was a nation that worshipped one God, Yahweh or Jehovah, the creator of the earth, the heavens, and all life. In our Bible, El refers to Him as “God Most High.” This was the God of Israel.

In contrast, the gods of Egypt numbered over 1000, indicating that no single god could satisfy them. These were man-made gods, nothing more than silent and inactive idols. The nation of Egypt gave life to these false gods by building idols to worship.

 

The bull god of Egypt, Apis, is probably the best known of the three most prominent and divine bull cults, and it is considered to be the most sacred. Herodotus, a Greek historian, wrote that the Apis was the “calf of a cow that is never afterwards able to have another.” “The Egyptian belief is that a flash of lightning descends upon the cow from heaven, and this causes her to receive Apis.” The Apis bull was originally considered to be the incarnation of the god Ptah, the creator of the universe and master of destiny.,

 

It’s amazing to me how blind a nation can be, and it’s amazing to me how blind a church can be.

 

I ask you, who is your god?

 

“If you are God, why do you have to have a name”

 

When Moses went to Egypt, they asked, “Who is your god’s name?” and Moses said, “I am that I am.” The Egyptians did not know the God of the Israelites.

 

Little did the Egyptians know when they allowed Israel to have safety, shelter, and food during the famine that the God of heaven, the maker of heaven and earth, allowed them to live. Egypt survived the famine because of Israel, and the favor of God was upon Israel because Jesus would come from this nation of people.

 

Upon the death of Joseph, who was a Jew and one of the chosen ones, Joseph was an Israelite. He had God’s hand on his life to guide the nation of Israel through the famine.

 

But upon his death, a new pharaoh came to power, and every pharaoh believed he was a god.

The nation of Israel prospered in Egypt; they went into Egypt with 70 souls. Exodus 1:5  But when they came out, there were 1.5 to 3 million of them.

 

When they cried to Moses, “Do you see the Egyptians?” They were coming for us and would kill the rest of us. There were not enough graves in Egypt.

 

10 plagues had bankrupted Egypt; each plague had taken down a god of the Egyptians. And Pharoah was hailed as a god, yet the God of Moses sent the death angel and took the firstborn of Egypt!

 

There is something wrong when your father will not fight for his children. “Moms are nurturers!” “Fathers are protectors!”

 

“God had picked Moses to deliver his sons and daughters to God.”

 

“God is a Spirit,” and “The Spirit of the Lord was upon Moses.”

 

Moses carried a staff, and that staff said, “I have authority from Jehovah God.” Jehovah had sent Moses to free his people from the slavery of Egypt.

 

 

In Exodus 14, Moses stands on the banks of the red sea and shoves the staff into the sea, and the winds blow a hole clean across the red sea and dry the ground in one night, and Israel goes over on dry ground.

 

Hear your pastor this morning.

 

The Spirit of the Lord is upon me to tell you once again that your deliverance is about to happen.

 

Your God is fighting right now for you. God is fighting for you!

 

Jesus is about to return to his church; the Red Sea is parting, and the winds of the Holy Ghost are blowing in his church. We are about to see the chariot of King Jesus. The trumpet will sound, and the dead in Christ will rise; there will be no graves left in this old world of the children of God.

 

The Spirit of God is upon us; he will not leave you here; he will take you to heaven. Give your life to Jesus when Jesus is on the cross! That was God’s staff for this world. Trust in Jesus, repent of your sins, and be filled with the Spirit of God.
