Say ‘No’ To The Spirit Of Rebellion Against God.

Jeremiah 42:7-43:7
‘Do not go to Egypt’(19). We may never set foot in the country known as ‘Egypt’- but the spirit of ‘Egypt’ may be in our hearts: ‘Who is the Lord, that I should obey Him...?’(Exodus 5:2). ‘Egypt’ is an attitude of the heart. It is an attitude of rebellion against God. We must say ‘No’ to ‘Egypt’. We must say ‘No’ to the spirit of rebellion against God. For God’s people, ‘Egypt’ was a place of slavery, a place from which they needed to be set free by God (Exodus 2:23-25; 3:7-10). Each of us must choose how we will live. We can remain in the place of slavery - ‘slaves of sin’- , or we can be ‘obedient from the heart’, stepping out from that place into the place of freedom, ‘the new life of the Spirit’- ‘`the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set me free from the law of sin and death’(Romans 6:17-18; 7:6; 8:2).
