STUBBORN PHARAOHS

Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the LORD will bring you today. The Egyptians you see today you will never see again.

—EXODUS 14:13, NIV, EMPHASIS ADDED

Pharaoh is a type of the devil. He was stubborn. He kept hardening his heart. He kept changing his mind. No matter how much judgment came, he kept hardening his heart. Finally God had one thing to break him—he took his firstborn. Pharaoh still came after them, but God said, “Don’t worry about him; I am going to drown him in the sea, and you will see him no more!”

I pray that every pharaoh, every stubborn pharaoh, will be drowned and you will not see him again! You may have to go on a fast not one time; you may have to fast ten times. It took ten plagues to break Pharaoh’s power. It’s time to break those stubborn pharaohs. Sometimes a pharaoh may be a person—controlling devil, witch, warlock, Jezebel, a person who wants to control your life, you church.

I hate to use this example but it is what comes to my mind. In the Wizard of Oz, when the Wicked Witch of the East threatened the other one, she laughed and said, “Ha, ha, ha! Rubbish. You have no power here!” In the same way, you need to laugh at the devil. When the devil threatens you, just laugh, “Ha, ha, ha! Rubbish. You have no power here!” I watch that movie just to see that. I know that’s one witch talking to another, but just eliminate the witch part, and you’ll get it.

Don’t let those demon spirits threaten you! I don’t care if they are flying around the room on a broom with a black hat on. Declare: “No witch, no warlock, and no Jezebel will control my life. I am a servant of Jesus Christ, and whom the Son sets free is free indeed. No apostle, no doctor apostle, no bishop, no archbishop, no archbishop deluxe... I don’t care what your title is... no prophet, no prophetess, whatever, you are not called to control my life. You are not called to dominate me and manipulate me and intimidate me. The devil is a liar!”

Sometimes it takes more than one judgment, battle, or victory to break stubborn enemies. There is something about stubborn enemies. You can hit them one time, but they keep coming back. It seemed that no matter what God did to loosen Pharaoh’s grip on the children of Israel, he would not let God’s people go. Even Pharaoh’s advisors told him, “This is the finger of God. You cannot fight God.” (See Exodus 8:19.) And eventually even he had to bow his knee to the King of kings.

It is time to put a hurting on the devil. We are not going to leave them alone, even as they cry out, “Let us alone” (Mark 1:23–24, KJV). We are going to put pressure on them. We are going to bind, rebuke, cast out, pray, and deal with the powers of hell.
