Prophetic Insight – 03.15.20

We are currently in the season of the plagues of Egypt. They took place at this time of year.  Passover is just a few weeks away (April 8^th).  In the several months before Passover the ten plagues were unleashed on Egypt.  During that time, it was God’s purpose to set His people free.  This caused a reaction with Pharaoh and his administration resulting in shortages (such as straw being withheld) and the constraint of work.  Things got tougher before they got better.  One of the plagues (the fifth; Ex. 9:1-7) was a pestilence or infection on the Egyptian livestock in the land (think virus).  Since the beginning of March, we have seen the decline of our Stock Market primarily on the news of the virus.  On March 13^th (13 days before the 1^st of Nisan which was the new first month God decreed) our President declared a national emergency and a National Day of Prayer on the 15^th.

God is judging the “gods of Egypt.” Jesus said we cannot serve two masters (mammon and the Lord). Wealth is not evil in itself, but wrong devotion and trust in it misdirects our trust in the Lord.  Christians have the opportunity to have the true riches. What is the true wealth of a born-again child of God?  Is it material or spiritual?  It is written that you are made rich in Christ (2 Co. 8:9, Re. 2.9).  Can the failure of man and his systems take away the treasures which you have laid up in heaven? (Mt. 6:19-21).  Whatever temporary inconveniences we will suffer will be more than made up for by the exceeding great spiritual wealth which will be ours in this time.  God’s people can begin to press into their full inheritance, even the Kingdom blessings and powers prepared for them from the foundation of the world.

God’s word is “Let My people go, that they may serve Me.”  We pray for a new freedom from worldliness, carnality and spiritual oppression.
