“Pharaoh’s, repent and spare your firstborn sons!”
This morning, I woke up with a shout ringing in my spirit, a warning and a cry for the Pharaoh’s to repent before it is too late, before they receive the final judgment of watching their firstborn sons die. Whether physical or spiritual, I do not know. It is Abba’s desire that all should repent, that none should perish, that they would risk opening their heart to Him for He can be trusted with your most protected possession, your broken heart.
Who are the Pharaoh’s?
First and foremost, they are ones who for various reasons never received unconditional love. They have tried to fill that deep need for identity by creating one for themselves. Power and status numbs the pain but if they are truly honest with themselves, the pain is still there, still tormenting under the surface. Only Abba Father can truly lance that soul wound, cleanse out the pus, and bring true healing from the inside out. Will you let him? Yes, it will hurt but the short term pain is so worth the long term gain.
Pharaoh’s can be identified by common characteristics & the attempts to maintain their protective façade :
– Leaders and builders of man-made kingdoms (businesses, churches, man-made governmental spheres, etc.)
– Those who carry kingly and apostolic anointings.
– Providers who exert fear, control, and manipulation through their team of slave-drivers
– Partner with Mammon, threatening to withhold resources as a form of control
– Apply pressure to perform, expectations to meet quotas while withholding resources as a form of passive-aggressive punishment.
– Declare themselves to be a covering for others, demanding allegiance in exchange for benefits
– Encourage abdication of godly order and covering of the Holy Spirit.
– Utilize those carrying a spirit of witchcraft in their leadership/prophetic teams
– They like their buildings, which end up becoming idols in their hearts.
– Release a spirit of murder upon the destinies of the true sons of God because they feel threatened.
– Promote a mindset of slavery instead of sonship
– Shaming those who don’t profit them
– Look to and create worldly systems for financial provision
– Command the seers not to see
– Command the prophets to prophesy only positive things
– Drive the true prophets into the wilderness.
– Lead others into rebellion, adding sin unto sin by refusing to obey God’s commandments.
– Refuse to allow people the freedom to worship when and how God directed.
– Have hardened, proud hearts
– Use God’s prophets only for selfish gain and temporary pain relief but never truly repent.
– God’s agents enabled to rise to power to punish His rebellious sons for a season.
– Control Egypt’s storehouses, stocked by a tax to all but only those who pay up and receive approval are able to benefit from them.
– Offer a deceptive form of protection to those that will join ranks with them.
– Trust in their man-made strength and resources.
(Isaiah 30; Genesis & Exodus)
All these characteristics and mindsets are fed by a spirit of Pharaoh and Leviathan, which must be cast out. Only through confession, repentance, and risk opening their heart to Abba Father Himself will a pharaoh gain unconditional acceptance and approval that men simply can’t fill and true freedom for one’s soul that this spirit can never offer. Choose this day whom you will serve – the god of your forefathers that resulted in judgment or the LORD Most High that invites us to the throne of grace. If not for yourselves, then do it for your sons.
