The devil will try his best to keep you bound to his present day version of Egypt. Even after you give your life to God, he will never stop striving to get you back. Put Egypt fully behind you and sever all connections. Give the devil no handhold to drag you back to him.

We are all of us given a choice: either we love God or we hate Him. We follow His ways out of our love for Him and receive the blessings his Word promises to us, or we ignore His will and try to forge our own blessings from costly moments of worldly happiness. These choices pave our walk through life, and through time, reveal our final destination.

A father's love is unconditional, all encompassing, and never ending. It never judges, and is always there when you reach for it. Our Heavenly Father is the same, seeking to love us and make us whole again. The key is, we have to want Him to.

We lie to ourselves saying alcohol, drugs, anger, and resentment are things we need to survive. In reality we are bound by our own addictions, in need of deliverance found only in the name of Jesus.

The greatest danger of forgotten deliverance is the potential of future bondage. It leads to a change in attitude, a lack of respect, and a feeling of entitlement. All of these things push for the church to link up arms with the world in order to create a watered down (and powerless) form of religion.

Jesus is not looking for "fans" of his teachings, those who like being around him, but don't want him to change them. He's looking for "followers;" for those who radically seek to become the definition of "Christ-like," loving Him to the point where everything else pales in comparison.

What does it mean to "bless" those that curse us? Does it mean we should shower them with gifts and promises? No, instead it means to let go of our instant reaction of anger or hatred by asking God to bless them and touch their lives. By doing that, you have laid down a poison that would harm only you, and picked up the love of Jesus for them.

God is a prayer answering God. Don't let anything you have in your past tell you what your future is going to be. Tell it to leave, dismiss it; the devil has no power in a spirit filled house for when God steps in, sin has to step out.

The Bible is full of stories of victims becoming victors in their situations. Through Christ, who was the ultimate victor, we have the same power over our situation. Disease, addiction, whatever we are facing, they all have to bow down to the name of Jesus.

How long you let your situation control you depends on your attitude. Do you hold onto it with your promise from God, or do you let it overwhelm you with the half truth the devil has contrived to go with it? Your worst day in church will always be greater than your best day in the world. Look toward what will be instead of staying in what is.
