… “Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, ‘Let my people go, that they may hold a feast to me in the wilderness.’”                      -- Exodus 5:1 
When Moses stood before Pharaoh and spoke those famous words, "Let my people go," he was revealing the heart of God toward you and me. Did you know that?
God's plan is for us to be truly free. He wants us to be liberated by his Spirit to serve him. But here’s the challenge. As soon as we determine for ourselves to go with God and to live in the freedom made possible by Jesus Christ, the enemy goes to work. Satan’s primary goal is to keep you enslaved. That’s it.
Now, in Scripture, Pharaoh is an illustration of the devil. Pharaoh was a murderer and a liar. He never intended to let the children of Israel go free. Instead, he offered Moses compromises and negotiations. He told Moses, "Go ahead and sacrifice to your God.”
And in this same way, the devil will say to you, "Go ahead and be religious... go to church, that's fine. But just stay in Egypt." Right now there are countless church members who think they’re free, but spiritually, they’re still living in Egypt.


Listen. Satan’s plan is to keep you enslaved, but God offers you victory and freedom. Come out of the world and get under the liberating blood of Jesus Christ today!

-- Lamentations 3:22-23

We often fear failure, don’t we? I’m sure that’s true across many cultures. We fear failure to an amazing degree. But, in reality, failure teaches us some of life’s most important lessons.

Let me explain. You and I wouldn’t have learned to walk if we hadn’t failed a little in the process. And the principle of getting back up and trying again is critical in every aspect of our lives, especially in our spiritual lives. No one lives a perfect life.

But do you know the key difference between an average person and an achieving person? It’s how they perceive and respond to failure. Achievers let failure work in their lives. They learn from their mistakes and move forward.

Are you learning from your failures? Or do your failures overwhelm you and keep you from moving forward in your life? Listen. If you’ll let it, failure can be a friend that leads you back to God. His mercies are new each day—they are eternal. He desires to restore you and is ready to do so right now.

Recognize your failures, your defeats, and your sins for what they are… repent and move forward with the help of God.

IF YOU’LL LET IT, FAILURE CAN BE A FRIEND THAT LEADS YOU BACK TO GOD.

Blessed is the one whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.  Psalm 32:1

What if we learned that someone had the cure for cancer and kept it to themselves? How wicked that would be.
Now, if you have been saved… if you know the Lord Jesus Christ, and you’ve been forgiven of your sin, you now carry the cure for a sin-sick world! How wicked would it be for any of us who know the only hope for sinfulness to hesitate to share it?

But maybe you haven’t received the cure yet. If you haven’t, then you need to know that sin is dangerous; in fact, it’s deadly, and the only cure is Christ Jesus. Jesus is coming to you right now saying, “I want to take away that old sinful heart and give you a brand new heart.”

Well, you might ask, “How much will it cost? Will it hurt?”

The gift of Christ is absolutely free, and yes, it hurts a little. The Scripture says that you must turn from your sinful ways in order to follow Jesus. But he gives you a brand new life to live for him! And he’ll come live in that new heart to make you an overcomer in this life.

Accept the only cure for sin! Ask Jesus to forgive your sins and to give you a new heart. Then share with others the cure for sin!

SIN IS DANGEROUS… IT’S DEADLY, AND THE ONLY CURE IS CHRIST JESUS.
