YAHWEH'S MOUTHPIECE

Welcome! I’m glad to have you here again. Be sure to check Part 1 if you haven’t.

In this piece, we look at the arm that was stretched out to deliver Israel from the bondage of Egypt. 

I should say that when I began writing on The Liberation, even from the first part, I didn’t have the intention of writing about this nation. It is just something that had to happen. I strongly believe that God in this season is working in this nation even as His people are coming into alignment. There is also an application of these posts on this subject of liberation to every facet of our lives as God will make it known.

“And the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD, when I stretch forth my hand upon Egypt, and bring the children of Israel from among them.” (Exodus 7:5)

There is an awakening of God’s mighty arm. He is stretching forth His hand over this land. “Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the LORD; awake, as in the ancient days, in the generations of old. Art thou not it that hath cut Rahab, and wounded the dragon?” (Isaiah 51:9) The hand of the Lord is sifting and shifting. That hand is shifting out of place loins of resistance to His will.

Let me also say that what God does cannot be undone. A man may make a copy of what God does but certainly cannot reverse what God has done. All the magicians of Egypt could do was to “replicate” what God did through His servant, Moses. Their waters were made blood and the scripture records that “the magicians did so with their enchantments.” Aaron stretched forth His hand and frogs came upon the land. The magicians again did so with their enchantments and brought forth more frogs. “…These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth and no man openeth.” (Revelation 3:7). A door that has been opened by Yahweh cannot in any way be shut by any man. The only thing men can do is to widen the door that has been opened even in their attempt to shut it.

God’s hand was stretched over Egypt and great wonders were done there. Of the ten plagues that God brought upon Egypt, God commanded either Moses’s or Aaron’s hand to be stretched over Egypt for the bringing forth of seven of them. God’s messengers are the extension of His arm. God works from heaven and we as His messengers bring the reality of what is done in the earth.

After the confrontation the apostles faced, they went back to their company and prayed, “And now Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word by the stretching forth of thine hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus” (Acts 4:29 & 30).

And so, God sends us and calls us gods to go deliver His people. Unto Moses, He said, “Come now therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth my people the children of Israel out of Egypt.” Moses was sent to bring the children of Israel out of Egypt but who really brought them out of Egypt? Exodus 20:2 “I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.” 

The “phrase by the hand of” is found a number of times in the record of Israel’s journeying to Canaan. God’s hand working through a man’s hand. He is revealing His arm through men even at this time.

He is sending His messengers out, His army to execute is counsel and judgment. I wondered why Moses wasn’t put in prison in Egypt. With the trouble he had caused in Egypt, they could have arrested him and locked him up to shut him up. This is the kind God is raising: an army that cannot be stopped or shut up. Men whose voices will be amplified by the Holy Spirit and though they try to turn off their mics, they’ll discover that these need no mic.

After the ninth plague, Pharaoh commanded that Moses see him no more. Probably he thought that it was because he was granting them audience that they were able to do all they did and manifest such signs. The final plague was the loudest of all. Moses didn’t have to announce what the Lord would do to him, Pharaoh saw what God did and the man who would not see him called for him to get out of his land praying for their blessing.

There is a raising and an arising. God is raising an army who will rise in the might of His arm executing His judgment in the earth even in this nation. “I have raised him up in righteousness, and I will direct all his ways: he shall build my city, and he shall let go of my captives, not for price nor reward, saith the LORD of hosts” (Isaiah 45:13)

Thy Kingdom come, O Lord. Thy will be done even in this land. Amen!
