25.15: Exodus 7-10: Here Come the Plagues, Why did God Harden Pharaoh's Heart?

When you read these chapters in Exodus, you have to wonder why  doesn’t God just do something quick and let the Israelites go? Well, God  had a purpose.

Kind of gives the idea that God wants us to pay attention.  If you want to reap all the benefits of salvation including the 1-way, non-stop ticket to Heaven then… Believe. Repent. Be Baptized. Receive the Holy Spirit.  Pray this prayer humbly and wholeheartedly… “Dear Lord Jesus, I know I am a sinner. I believe You died for my sins. Please forgive me. Right now, I turn from my sins and open the door of my heart and my life to you. I confess You as my personal Lord and Savior. I surrender my whole life to you and I will follow you for the rest of my life. Thank You, Jesus, for saving me. In Jesus' name, Amen.” Jesus didn’t die so we could religion! He died so He could have a Relationship with YOU!  This is a daily podcast, published each evening.  Hit the subscribe button so can get to know God.   And please share this with your friends.
