Exodus 5: Obedience Started a War

God said, “Go.” Moses went. He stood before Pharaoh and said,“Let my people go.” And Pharaoh didn’t soften. He hardened. Exodus 5 is the chapter no one preaches enough. The workload doubled.The straw disappeared.The pressure intensified. And the people blamed Moses. Obedience didn’t bring relief. It started a war. In this episode of Baker Mode, we break down what happens when doing what God says brings opposition instead of applause — how resistance doesn’t mean you missed God, and why breakthrough often comes after backlash. Sometimes the war proves you’re on assignment. If you stepped out and things got harder… You might be exactly where you’re supposed to be.
