Do we know to what extent God, our Father, is willing to fight for us? Our God is willing not only to punish, He is willing to kill anyone or anything that stands in the way of our worship to Him.
Exodus 4:22-23
22 Then say to Pharaoh, ‘This is what the Lord says: Israel is my firstborn son,
23 and I told you, “Let my son go, so he may worship me.” But you refused to let him go; so I will kill your firstborn son.’”
God has not only promised us signs and wonders, He has instructed us to use them (display them) as we go to do His will (preach deliverance to those in captivity and help them come out of bondage).
Exodus 4:21
21 The Lord said to Moses, “When you return to Egypt, see that you perform before Pharaoh all the wonders I have given you the power to do. But I will harden his heart so that he will not let the people go.
Mark 16:15-18
15He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.
16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.
17 And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues;
18 they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well.”
As we decide or commit to do God’s work on earth we need His words and an assurance that He’s with us. Well, God promised that He will help us speak and teach us what to say. So go forth and do His work (share the gospel of our Lord Jesus or share your salvation story) and Dont worry like Moses did.
Exodus 4:
11 The Lord said to him, “Who gave human beings their mouths? Who makes them deaf or mute? Who gives them sight or makes them blind? Is it not I, the Lord?
12 Now go; I will help you speak and will teach you what to say.”
Luke 12:12
11 “When you are brought before synagogues, rulers and authorities, do not worry about how you will defend yourselves or what you will say,
12 for the Holy Spirit will teach you at that time what you should say.”
Luke 21:12-15
12“But before all this, they will seize you and persecute you. They will hand you over to synagogues and put you in prison, and you will be brought before kings and governors, and all on account of my name.
13 And so you will bear testimony to me.
14 But make up your mind not to worry beforehand how you will defend yourselves.
15 For I will give you words and wisdom that none of your adversaries will be able to resist or contradict.
Because of the fear our enemies have for God, they will treat us kindly. Our enemies cannot resist or overturn God’s will or promise to us. In Jesus name, Amen.
Exodus 1:17
17 The midwives, however, feared God and did not do what the king of Egypt had told them to do; they let the boys live.
So no matter what the enemy plots to destroy us, God’s grace and favor will overturn their plans and keep us safe.
God, our God and good Daddy, hears our cry for help and He promised that He would hear us and come to our rescue.
Exodus 2:23-25
23 During that long period, the king of Egypt died. The Israelites groaned in their slavery and cried out, and their cry for help because of their slavery went up to God.
24 God heard their groaning and he remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac and with Jacob.
25 So God looked on the Israelites and was concerned about them.
Numbers 20:16
16 But when we cried out to the LORD, he heard us and sent an angel who brought us out of Egypt. Now we are camped at Kadesh, a town on the border of your land.
Our God has ordered us to move forward, go, advance to better places and things and He promised that He would be with/go with us. Have Faith/Fear Not, go for it. It is implied that your motive/drive has to be His and godly.
Genesis 46:3-4
3 “I am God, the God of your father,” he said. “Do not be afraid to go down to Egypt, for I will make you into a great nation there.
4 I will go down to Egypt with you, and I will surely bring you back again.

20 Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
If a heathen king can say, “Dont worry, you’ll possess all the best in this land, then should we not trust our God who has promised us the same and more?
Genesis 45:19-20
19“You are also directed to tell them, ‘Do this: Take some carts from Egypt for your children and your wives, and get your father and come.
20 Never mind about your belongings, because the best of all Egypt will be yours.’ ”
Jeremiah 11:5
5 I said this so I could keep my promise to your ancestors to give you a land flowing with milk and honey–the land you live in today.'” Then I replied, “Amen, LORD! May it be so.”
Proverbs 13:22
22 A good man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children, but the sinner’s wealth is laid up for the righteous.
Our God has promised us peace in the midst of trials and tribulations, and in the presence of our enemies. He did it for Joseph and Daniel because their lives were pleasing to God.
Genesis 45:16-18
16 When the report was heard in Pharaoh’s house, “Joseph’s brothers have come,” it pleased Pharaoh and his servants.
17 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Say to your brothers, ‘Do this: load your beasts and go back to the land of Canaan,
18 and take your father and your households, and come to me, and I will give you the best of the land of Egypt, and you shall eat the fat of the land.’

27 “I am leaving you with a gift–peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid.
Over the course of time and from the very beginning, our God has always gone before us to make a way for us to be saved, delivered, preserved for His glory. He has always promised life to us and now in Christ we have eternal life.
Genesis 45:5-7
5 Now therefore be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that ye sold me hither: for God did send me before you to preserve life.

7 And God sent me before you to preserve you a posterity in the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance.

11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
God had promised to give old men dreams and young men visions and children prophesy. And I’m certain the interpretation of these dreams and visions comes with the package. So dream on and/or expect visions and interpretations too.
Genesis 41:15-16
15 Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I had a dream, and no one can interpret it. But I have heard it said of you that when you hear a dream you can interpret it.”
16 “I cannot do it,” Joseph replied to Pharaoh, “but God will give Pharaoh the answer he desires.”

17 God gave these four young men an unusual aptitude for understanding every aspect of literature and wisdom. And God gave Daniel the special ability to interpret the meanings of visions and dreams.
