It's been such a long time since I've been able to do activate and I'm so so excited that God is trusting me to share this message that he has given me.

I believe that it's going to be so helpful and useful to us especially in this season.

You know, I've been praying and studying and really asking God, what is it that I can say to be a blessing to your people?

And he gave me a word that I think is really going to catapult you not when this season is over. Come on somebody because sometimes we're in the middle of something and we're focused about who we're going to be when it's over.

But I believe that God has given us a right now word that is going to speak to who we are in him in this season.

And I can't wait to get into it. I am in Exodus.

I'm going to start in chapter 12, verse 34.

And I'm in the new King James Version just a little bit of insight into what's happening at this point in the text.

So Moses has gone back for the children of Israel.

And because Pharaoh wouldn't let them go, the text literally says God hard and Pharaoh's heart, the plagues have come.

And we are coming off of the heels of the final plague that's when the sons have passed away.

The first born sons have passed away. But that did not happen for everyone.

It was only for those who did not put the blood over their door posts and experience what we know now as the Passover.

And so I'm starting in verse 34. This is after the Passover. This is after the Egyptians have come to a place where they realize God is not playing about seeing His people be free.

And my text begins in verse 34. It says, so the people took their dough before it was leavened, having their kneading bowls bound up in their clothes on their shoulders.

Now the children of Israel had done according to the word of Moses and they had asked from the Egyptians articles of silver, articles of gold and clothing.

And the Lord had given the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians so that they granted them what they requested.

Thus they plundered the Egyptians.

Then the children of Israel journeyed from Ramses to Sukkoth in six, about 600,000 men on foot beside children.

And the greats multitude went up with them also on flocks and herds and a great deal of livestock.

And they baked on leaven cakes of the dough which they had brought out of Egypt.

For it was not leavened because they were driven out of Egypt and could not wait nor had they prepared provisions for themselves.
