When War Is Made

The enemy was furious when he became fully aware that God had taken his slaves from him and made them free. Pharaoh was not about to go down in humiliation without a fight. His pride and rage caused him to summon all of his forces to make one final run at those who once belonged to him. As it was in ancient Egypt with Pharaoh, so is it in our day with Satan. When an individual or a church begin to experience the advancing hand of God on their behalf, Hell rages. Jesus has accomplished all that is required for us to go and live completely free in the land of promises, but the enemy will not just let us escape without a fight. This message highlights the activity of warfare against those whom God is freeing and advancing. Israel initially responded in fear, not faith. Thankfully, God had the attention of Moses and he was able to bring the people into holy order as God prepared to fully and finally handle their enemies.
