Pharaohs resistance (part1)

 Ex 3:19 And I am sure that the king of Egypt will not let you go, no, not by a mighty hand.

 

This was Gods advice to Moses before he went to Egypt to deliver the people of Israel. Know that Pharaoh will resist you on every level. Pharaoh is just an image of the Devil. The Devil is called the God of this world, just like Pharaoh

Whenever you make an attempt to do Gods will, or serve him, he will resist you all the way.

It began as soon as Moses approached him for the first time. His response was to put MORE work on the Israelites. The goal was to make them too busy to think about worshipping God. That is always the strategy of the Devil. As soon as you make an effort to serve God more, pray more, or read more in the Bible, he will respond to make you busier. Suddenly you remember all the things you need to do. Suddenly you receive offer to work overtime, or take a position that hinders you from coming to church etc etc. That’s when you need to be consistent and let him know nothing will stop you from serving and worshipping God.

 

When that didn’t work, and they still wanted to worship God, he said: Ok, but you can worship him here in Egypt.
