“Through Him everyone who believes is freed from all things, from which you could not be freed through the Law of Moses.”
— Acts 13:39

The Exodus story contains symbolism that is very relevant for us today. God’s people, Israel, were living in captivity in Egypt, oppressed by the powers of darkness forced upon them through Pharaoh. Pharaoh intended to do only one thing, and that was to subject God’s people to slavery. 

Similarly, you and I, as God’s people today, find ourselves oppressed by the powers of darkness. Satan has one thing intended for us: to take us captive and separate us from the freedom Jesus brings. But just as ancient Israel was delivered by God through the blood of a lamb at Passover, we have been redeemed by the blood of Yeshua—the ultimate and eternal Lamb of God.

God intervened in the lives of His chosen people, freeing them and bringing them to Himself. And Father has the same intent for us. He wants us to be free, victorious, joyful, and filled with supernatural peace. Although you may be struggling right now, I want you to know God has planned something greater for you, and it will make all your sorrows disappear.

The freedom Father is bringing us into doesn’t happen all at once. God is driving out our enemies little by little, just as He did for Israel. As we stay the course, we will continue to make progress toward the ultimate goal—the freedom of God Himself!
