My child – Are you longing for a change, tired of the old and yearning for My Promise? You must be willing to leave the old in order to enter the New I have waiting for you. The children of Israel longed for the Promised Land but they had to leave Egypt before they could enter their Promise. In Hebrew, the word ‘Ivrim’ means the ones who cross over’. They had to cross over the Red Sea to get to the Israel.
The act of exiting is as holy as the act of entering. It’s so important that there is a whole book in the Bible named after it called Exodus! There were 600,000 men not including their wives and children exited Egypt and crossed over the Red Sea with Joshua and entered My Promise. You must let go of what you know and to enter My Blessings! Are you willing to let go of everything you know and all that you have to enter into the Blessings I have for you? Few are willing to do that. You can’t have one without the other. It is a physical and spiritual law the act of leaving the old and entering the new.
Abraham was the first ‘Ivrim’. The first command I gave him was to ‘Get Out’ of the country he lived in and trust Me and I would show him where to go. All My promises and his future were dependent upon him obeying My first command ‘Get Out’! Getting out is a holy act. My Son the Messiah called his disciples to first leave, drop their nets and come follow Him. If they had not left what they knew they would not have been able to come, they had to leave their old way of life. I have called you to come and follow Me, but you must let go of what you know and leave to enter My Blessings! Do you yearn for change? You must step out in faith and leave what you know in order for you to receive the fullness of My Blessings that are laid up for you!
So I have come down to rescue them from the power of the Egyptians and lead them out of Egypt into their own fertile and spacious land. It is a land flowing with milk and honey – the land where the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites now live. (Exodus 3:8 NLT)
