The decision was made and revealed to Moses, before he received the call to deliver the Israelites in Egypt. God had never addressed Himself to any man in this way before. Now His power would be over someone to do what He said. War was declared, and His people would be delivered from the Egyptians. The real war for man’s salvation has also been declared. Deliverance from Egypt symbolizes that of all mankind. Preach (2 Timothy 4:1,2)!
We don’t have to be timid or preach a far-fetched religion, with tales and pomp, in which man can embroider his works. We need to deliver the lost from the hands of the king of wickedness, Satan, who holds them in his subjection. While the Church slumbers, hatred and error lead many to be deceived and contaminated with various forms of prostitution. Why does evil act in this way? Because it has come to kill, steal, and destroy (John 10:10).
Egypt was prosperous, because its lands bathed by the Nile River produced abundantly. The Land of the Gospel is much more productive. In it, there is anointing for the good harvest of souls oppressed and ruined by sin. The message of the Church must be like that of the Lord in the synagogue of Capernaum. When confronted by an evil secretary, he ordered him to leave, and he left immediately. The people confessed that they had never seen anything like it (Mark 1:21-27). Pray!
But, sadly, today they have reduced the Master’s intention to a horrible ceremonial, where the most absurd things are confessed. With this, the people die spiritually and physically. What have they done with the power given to the Church, as Jesus spoke: Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you – (Luke 10.19)? They spend money on false teachers, who do not teach the Truth!
Our Earth is good and wide, it can hold as many times as necessary the number of inhabitants of the world today. Nothing better than to follow the example of Jesus, as it is in the Scriptures: Then a great multitude followed Him, because they saw His signs which He performed on those who were diseased (John 6:2). Without the signs, the Church becomes a pasture for all kinds of wild-beasts, with their sinful and filthy hunger!
The Land of the Gospel flows with milk and honey – food for the soul, which strengthens the spirit and offers power to its members to free the lost, heal the sick, and give life to all those who are dying in their deceptions. We cannot associate ourselves with the most various religions, because the Gospel is not religion, but the power of God, which heals and grants dignity and a fulfilling path to those who surrender to Christ (Romans 1:16,17). That is the message!
While the children of God were oppressed in Egypt, in Palestine they created the most perverse doctrines. For good harvests, they threw little children inside the hollow image of Moloch, which became incandescent with the burning fire (Leviticus 18:21). The noise of the drums smothered the babies’ cries. Mercy!
In Christ, with love,

God of declared war! We are not to fight against flesh and blood, but against principalities, powers, the princes of darkness in this world, and spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. In Your Name we will deliver the lost from the kingdom of sin!
We are not afraid, for we will offer our lives on Your altar, day by day. For us, the important thing is to follow the example of Your Son, delivering people from evil spirits, from the errors of this life, and anointing them with power to do the same!
We thank You for the power, the example, and the direction You give us at every step. May we know how to go beyond what man can do, showing everyone how wonderful it is to walk with You, to do Your will, and to live the delights of Your Kingdom. We give You thanks and love!
