To the Seven Thousand:
I’ve been reading about how we’ve been trapped in a system designed to keep us as slaves—spiritually, emotionally, and financially. Powerful forces control the narrative of how we should live and whom we should serve. But there’s a movement calling people to step out of this worldly system. I call it leaving Egypt.
In this series, we’ll explore why it’s essential to choose the Kingdom of Heaven over the systems of this world. Just as the Israelites were hesitant to leave Egypt despite their suffering, many today cling to the illusion of safety within a system that enslaves them. But God had greater plans for the Israelites, just as He does for us. He wanted them to be free, and He wants us to experience that same freedom.
God’s desire is for His children—Christians—to live in His Kingdom. The Bible foretells a time when His people would return to their true homeland. That homeland isn’t a physical place; it’s the Kingdom of God, where Christ reigns. It’s time to embrace this calling and move toward where God wants us to be—living in His Kingdom.
In His Kingdom, we can live freely, no longer enslaved by the Pharaohs of this world. Today’s Pharaohs are the systems that control our lives: governments, banks, insurance companies, stock and bond markets, pharmaceutical and medical industries, military contractors, and even the entertainment industry.
These forces place heavy burdens on us daily—working us harder and harder, taxing our income, homes, land, and even cars. We pay for water, sewer, electricity, and homeowners insurance, all of which are cleverly disguised forms of taxation. They live off the fruits of our labor while keeping us in a perpetual cycle of toil.
Even more deceptive is the “law” we are told to obey. These are not God’s laws but policies issued by corporations masquerading as authority. They have no right to impose these policies on us, yet we are inundated daily with rules and mandates that don’t apply to the citizens of Heaven.
Our goal is to discover and bring to light God’s laws and understand how they apply to our daily lives. We are called to worship the Lord with both our hearts and our minds, seeking His wisdom and truth above all else.
Lord, I pray that we will live God-honoring lives in Your Kingdom. That we will use our minds and hearts in ways that honor You in our families and communities. I ask that You guide us as we study Your laws and how You want us to apply them to our lives. Thank You for Your wisdom and love. In Jesus’ name, I pray this. Amen.
