We live in expectation of God fighting for us and shielding us from the enemy.

KEY TRUTHS:
+ Rejoice always and give thanks. This is key to battle. Thank the Lord that this oppression will turn out to bring more freedom and territory. It disarms enemy intimidation.

+ God wanted Pharaoh to resist Israel so that God could not only set Israel free, but destroy the gods of Egypt and resource the new Israeli economy.

+ If we're only ever focused on our circumstance instead of on who God is and what God is saying, we always miss the point. God is here. Our deliverance is assured.

+ We are believers. Will we believe positively for God, or negatively in line with our difficult circumstances?

+ The purpose of increased opposition is to take your focus away from what God has said and promised.

+ When God keeps giving you the same word and same promises, it's because there is no other word. That's it. Begin believing it.

+ Something always forms under pressure. Pressure creates granite and diamonds... and you!

+ Favor guarantees freedom, and freedom is the ability to move in the opposite spirit of what is coming against you.

+ The plagues of Egypt each destroyed a household god. But Israel remained shielded.
