Breaking Free: The Power of God’s Deliverance
Our past is part of who we are, shaping our present. But while the blood of Jesus does not erase our memories, it does offer us a life beyond our past. In Exodus 8:1-15, we see how God demonstrated His power to Pharaoh, calling him to release the Israelites from slavery.
God sent Moses to Pharaoh with a clear message: “Let My people go so they may worship Me.” But Pharaoh refused, and in response, God sent plagues to soften his heart. One of these plagues—frogs—covered the land, invading homes, bedrooms, and even kitchens.
Moses warned Pharaoh that if he did not obey, the plague would continue. When the frogs became unbearable, Pharaoh pleaded for relief. Moses then asked, “When do you want me to pray for their removal?” Shockingly, Pharaoh replied, “Tomorrow.”
This response is crucial. Why would Pharaoh choose to endure the suffering for another night when freedom was available immediately? The question extends to us today:
- What burdens, sins, or struggles are we holding onto?
- What “frogs” have we allowed to stay in our lives when God is ready to set us free?
God sent Jesus to die and rise again so that we could experience true freedom. Yet, like Pharaoh, we often delay our breakthrough, saying, “Tomorrow.” But God’s power to restore and heal is available today.
When Moses prayed, God removed the frogs, but the aftermath was messy—piles of dead frogs filled the land with a terrible odor. Likewise, when we confront our struggles, the process may be uncomfortable, but the reward is worth it.
Pharaoh, despite experiencing God’s power, hardened his heart once relief came. Let us not make the same mistake. Instead of delaying, let’s embrace the freedom God offers now.
Are you ready to let go of the things holding you back? Or will you choose to live with them one more night?
Don’t wait for tomorrow—choose freedom today.

I am requesting pray for both of my sons. One is in a same sex “marriage”. The other has been married for 3 years, has a 20 month old son, and has repeatedly cheated on his wife with men outside of his marriage relationship. He and his wife are separated as he goes through treatment for sex addiction to pornography, and he claims to believe he is bi-sexual. He also claims he does not know what comes over him when he cheats. He considers it to be a compulsion that he can’t override.
My husband and I learned about this situation approximately 1 year ago. We have tried not to beat him up with our beliefs and to only encourage his staying in treatment to overcome this. My prayers have been continuous throughout this year. I need more prayer warriors to join us in our prayers for his full recovery. This son was baptized as a youth and again at 18 in the girlfriend at the time’s church.
Please join me in prayer for each of my sons souls, Nick and Trent.
Also I have recently learn a niece, Maura, has entered a lesbian relationship, post a divorce from her abusive husband of 2 years.
I ask for prayers for all 3 of these young people as well as my son’s spouse, Jarred.
I pray they will all turn to Jesus and pursue God’s will for their lives instead of living in the flesh and following the comforts that current culture has created.
I ask for these prayers in Jesus’ name!!!
