When The enemy turns up the heat, God will always be there for you
by lareina morgan Exodus chapter 5 1-2,6-9
Afterwards Moses and Aaron went to see *Pharaoh. ‘This is what the *LORD, *Israel’s God, says’, they told him. ‘ “Let my people go into the *desert. They must *worship me there. They must have a *feast to give me honour.” ’ But *Pharaoh replied to them. ‘Who is the *LORD? Why should I obey him? Why should I let the *Israelites go? I do not know the *LORD. And I will not let *Israel’s people go.’
That same day Pharaoh gave an order to the masters of the slaves. And he gave the order to the Israelite officers who were responsible for their own people. ‘Now you must not supply the workers with straw for their bricks. Force them to get their own straw. But you should require them to make the same number of bricks as before. Do not reduce the number of bricks that they have to make. They are lazy. That is why they are crying out to me. “Let us go. We want to give gifts to our God.” But you must make them work harder. Then they will be too busy to listen to such lies.’ Pharaoh had nothing but contempt for Moses and Aaron as they began their quest to free their people from their Egyptian slave masters. The Lord God had delivered his message to the king of Egypt through his servants, but the pharaoh would not listen to them or to the God that they served.
He did not believe in the God of Israel, therefore God’s words had no meaning to Him. When dealing with non believers, don't allow yourself to be offended by their response to His word. They are not rejecting you, they are rejecting the Spirit of God that is speaking through you.
Remember, it is not about us, it is about God’s gesture of love, grace and mercy. He wants the world to get to know Him better by our words and our actions, and the simple act of saying a kind word to a broken heart works far better than anything else you could ever do for them.
Some people could become violent or belligerent in their response to your words. The Lord may put you in a position that seems like a no win scenario, but that is where you may need to be. We need to stand on His Word and trust Him. When the heat gets turned up high by the enemy, that is when we need to go into our prayer room and spend time with our Master and friend, Jesus. He is the only one who can bring peace and joy into our hearts while everyone else around us is sinking into hopelessness and despair. When the world is at its darkest, that is when the light and glory of Jesus Christ shines its brightest… from the true world of God Blog https://learningtoliveandloveinthewordofgod.blogspot.com/ Article Source: http://www.faithwriters.com |
