I was reminded by the Spirit of God that the purpose of this ministry is to set His people free—just as Moses was called to lead Israel out of slavery in Egypt.
“I have surely seen the affliction of My people… and I have come down to deliver them.” — Exodus 3:7–8
What’s striking is that many of God’s people back then didn’t even believe their slavery was bad. They worked, they earned their living, they fed and clothed their children, and they followed Pharaoh’s laws and decrees. From the outside, it may have looked stable… even normal. People get comfortable and don’t want to ruffle the feathers of the “beast” the institutions or their own mental prison that is holding them captive. They don’t want to fight for their freedom even if it seems unfair.
And why is that?
There’s a quote often attributed to dark and oppressive minds: “The best slaves are the ones who don’t know they’re slaves.”
And Israel lived this truth. When Moses led them out, many complained. They said, “Why did you take us out of Egypt?”They preferred the predictability of slavery over the uncertainty of freedom. They would rather return to Egypt than learn to trust God in the wilderness.
Israel lived this truth.
When Moses led them out, many grumbled:
“We remember the fish we ate in Egypt at no cost…” — Numbers 11:5
They preferred the predictability of slavery over the uncertainty of freedom.
Some even said:
“Let us choose a leader and go back to Egypt.” — Numbers 14:4
And isn’t that how it is for many of us today?
It’s frightening to step into the unknown. It’s uncomfortable to leave behind the world we’ve learned to navigate—even when it’s harming us. But when God calls us out, He also promises to sustain us. He brings water from the rock. He sends manna from heaven. He keeps our garments from wearing out.
He is faithful in the wilderness.
Trusting God is always the safest, strongest, and wisest thing we can do. Leaving the world behind may feel risky, but following God is never a mistake.
So whatever you’re clinging to—whatever belongs to “Egypt”—lay it down. God is calling you into a new land, a new season, a new identity. The path may feel harsh. The terrain may be steep. But He is calling His people out because He knows they are enslaved… and He wants His children free.
We are nearing the end of these times, the grace period is coming to a close. God gave us this time to repent and return to Him. To commit ourselves to the covenant of love. God wishes all to be saved and none to suffer the eternal punishment in store for the fallen ones. If you don’t know the Lord Jesus, take the time to truly be sorrowful for the wrongs you have done in life and ask Him to reveal His love and salvation to you. Then take up your cross and follow Jesus to the promise land.
Lord, I pray that your people will come out of the world of Egypt out of their comfort zones and follow you to be from their lives as slaves to the World you created for them.
