Hallelujah
Running of the living water in our soul
My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, in the portion of the Bible that we meditated upon in the past days, not only in Egypt, but we meditated regarding how the plague comes rolling in Israel too. The hail will sweep away the refuge of lies. If we will walk against the truth in our soul, God is sending the plague, which is hail.
Also, God arises in Mount Sinai and caused fear among the Israelites due to his judgement and opens our heart and God is showing the resurrection of our soul as a pattern. There, the rock is Christ and God is explaining and showing us as a pattern that through Christ we have the redemption of our soul and he is sending Christ into our world and God is making him resurrect through his spirit and God is sending the Spirit of the Son within us and causing the redemption of the inner body and resurrects our soul. He gives us his food daily and he gives within us the strength for our soul and enables us to be filled. Therefore, such a foundation which we put on the rock is firm. Those who have put such a foundation should leave and move away from injustice. This is a seal for this.
2 Timothy 2: 20 – 22 But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay, some for honour and some for dishonour.
Therefore, if anyone cleanses himself from the latter, he will be a vessel for honour, sanctified and useful for the Master, prepared for every good work.
Flee also youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
If we want such a firm foundation to remain in us, we must walk according to what is written in the above-mentioned verses.
If the deeds of the Egyptians are present among Israelites, then God sends plagues even within the Israelites. Therefore, to take our soul away from sin, he is sending such kind of plagues.
He is sending the plagues within the Israelites and the heart that has understood is being made holy. From this, to make sure that we are made holy, he is sending this. Then we will give God a holy worship. And this is the will of God.
Then, in Psalms 147: 12 – 18 Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem! Praise your God, O Zion!
For He has strengthened the bars of your gates; He has blessed your children within you.
He makes peace in your borders and fills you with the finest wheat.
He sends out His command to the earth; His word runs very swiftly.
He gives snow like wool; He scatters the frost like ashes;
He casts out His hail like morsels; Who can stand before His cold?
He sends out His word and melts them; He causes His wind to blow, and the waters flow.
When God is opening the gates of our heart, Christ manifests as Jerusalem and Zion and offers praises and thanksgiving to the God who has been in our heart and he gives blessing into our soul.
Then Jerusalem and Zion are given peace. Then he fills us with wheat, which is the word of God.
Then His word, through Christ is being sent into our soul. His word goes quickly and makes us as white as wool and makes our soul holy. Then he scatters the frost (word of God) like ashes.
But if we do not become holy, he sends the hail as morsels, that is he sends words of warning within us. And we will never be able to stand before God. That is why he asks who can stand before His cold?
Therefore, if we will obey God’s voice of warning and if our soul breaks and we submit ourselves, then those morsels of hail will be made to melt, by sending his word and causes His wind to blow on it. Then our soul will become a river where the pure river of the water of life flows. Then, we will worship God in spirit and in truth standing in holiness.
Therefore, to redeem the Israelites who are in Egypt even though God sent the seventh plague, God hardened the heart of Pharaoh.
Exodus 9: 26 Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel were, there was no hail.
And Pharaoh sent and called for Moses and Aaron, and said to them, “I have sinned this time. The Lord is righteous, and my people and I are wicked.
Entreat the Lord, that there may be no more mighty thundering and hail, for it is enough. I will let you go, and you shall stay no longer.”
So Moses said to him, “As soon as I have gone out of the city, I will spread out my hands to the Lord; the thunder will cease, and there will be no more hail, that you may know that the earth is the Lord’s.
But as for you and your servants, I know that you will not yet fear the Lord God.”
Exodus 9: 31, 32 Now the flax and the barley were struck, for the barley was in the head and the flax was in bud.
But the wheat and the spelt were not struck, for they are late crops.
From this we must understand that God is destroying the evil teachings of Egypt by sending plagues in our soul.
So, Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh and spread out his hands to the Lord; then the thunder and the hail ceased, and the rain was not poured on the earth.
Then Pharaoh and his servants sinned yet more; and he hardened his heart.
My dear people, the people of God who are reading this, now let each one of us realize how our heart is and hereafter at least let us not do sin and harden our hearts like Pharaoh and his servants. May God listen to our supplication and let us think of the blessings that God has given, and shall we submit ourselves to God completely?
Let us pray. May the Lord bless you all abundantly.
