A Mighty Hand Will Compel Pharaoh

Greetings in the Lord~

Well, here it is, 2024, and for many it couldn't have come a minute sooner!  I've heard it said several times already--"Good riddance!" to 2023, as people have struggled in many ways over the past year (and longer). In the language of scripture that the Lord uses to enlighten me, He talks about a Pharaoh oppressing His people.  Yes, as in the days of old, the U.S. is like the Israelites in ancient Egypt--slaving away at the behest of a cruel and godless master; Pharaoh thinks he is a god and imposes his agenda on the captives...but a day will come when he will rule the people no more!

Yes, a day comes when the Lord says enough is enough. God meets with Moses in the backside of the desert and calls him to lead Israel out of Egypt.  So Moses goes with his brother, Aaron, to Pharaoh to ask that he let the Hebrews go out into the desert for three days to worship their God, God Almighty, but the Lord knows Pharaoh will never let them go unless the mighty hand of God compels him!  And the famous Exodus story begins, complete with 10 plagues and a race in the desert and a parting of the Red Sea!  What an epic story of God's deliverance--it never gets old.  And that is the word for today--get ready for the Exodus story to play out in the U.S.!

It is time for the oppressive lies of our (spiritual) Pharaoh and his cohorts to be exposed and for his cruel captivity to be broken off the people.  I fully expect 2024 for be chalk full of drama, clashes and exposures--whether the truth is revealed in court cases, by video, voice recording, emails, bank statements, you name it.  In an instant, the evidence will show the truth, and like a plague, it will reign down God's judgment on the land.  Though it took ten plagues for Pharaoh to finally break his grip, every step of God's plan worked His justice and judgment on the land (and throughout the earth) so that all will witness God's divine power as Sovereign and rejoice in Him--amen and amen!  I'm fully anticipating in rejoicing in the goodness of God as He will show His mighty works all throughout 2024, and even as Pharaoh tries to chase them down in the desert, God will again show Himself all-powerful and fully wash them away.  Praise God!  And there won't be just one Moses to confront Pharaoh, no!  I discern that there will be many, each confronting from their own sphere of influence the face of Pharaoh that they are called to confront and decree God's words to.  Amen and amen!

So, as usual, I pray that the Lord's will be done on earth as it is in heaven; let 2024 be the year of deliverance and the beginning of restoration for the people of God all throughout the earth:  

Give thanks to the Lord, call on His name; make known among the nations what He has done.  Sing to Him, sing praise to Him; tell of all His wonderful acts.  Glory in His holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice.  Look to the Lord and His strength; seek His face always.  Remember the wonders He has done, His miracles, and the judgments He pronounced.  O descendants of Abraham His servant, O sons of Jacob, His chosen ones.  He is the Lord our God; His judgments are in all the earth.  

He remembers His covenant forever, the word He commanded for a thousand generations, the covenant He made with Abraham, the oath He swore to Isaac.  He confirmed it to Jacob as a decree, to Israel as an everlasting covenant: "To you I will give the land of Canaan as the portion you will inherit." Psalm 105:1-11. Praise God--let it be for all time what the Lord decreed for His people.    

~Be blessed and be a blessing.
