The Great Escape from Egypt Week 9 - Handout & Homework Exodus Chapter 7 “The Plague of Blood” Notes: The Plague of Blood Hapi was the god of the Nile. Which represented the god of the annual flood, fertility, life, abundance, and offerings. The god of Hapi was the provider of crops, drinking water, and life itself. It also represented these other Nile-related deities. 1. Khnum (NOOM) represents our instinct to believe that we can control the source of our own success, our future, and our provision. Today, people may not worship Khnum, but they often worship their job, their talents, their intelligence, their income, their planning, and their sense of control. God will often touch the “source” we rely on to remind us that He alone is our Provider. He is the One who gives life, strength, ideas, opportunities, and breath itself. We are called to surrender the illusion of control. NOTES: 2. Osiris represents the things we look to for identity, meaning, spiritual grounding, or personal renewal apart from God. Modern versions of Osiris include, self-help philosophies, spiritual experiences divorced from God, meditation without worship, identity built on performance or image, and cultural “myths” about what gives life meaning. God wants to be the One who defines our identity and renews us. He does not want us to go to anything else. He confronts false sources of life so we can find real life in Him. NOTES: 3. Anuket (AH-noo-ket) represents Direction, Timing, Movement, Blessing and increase, and Momentum. It symbolizes our desire to control how life flows, how fast things happen, when blessings come, how opportunities unfold, and the timing of relationships, careers, or dreams. God disrupted the river’s flow to communicate, “Your life will not flow according to your plan. It flows according to My plan.” We must trust God’s timing and direction. When life slows down, changes course, or feels blocked, God is not punishing us. He is guiding us because He alone determines the “flow” of our lives. NOTES: Khnum confronts our belief that we control the source. Osiris confronts our belief that something else can give us life. Anuket confronts our belief that we control the flow of our lives. God convicts and we distract ourselves. God confronts and we retreat to our comfort. And God speaks and we avoid thinking about it Our Imitations can harden our already resistant heart. Counterfeits keep us from surrender. Replacing God with substitutes never works Egypt dug along the Nile, but their digging only produced temporary, limited help. People today do the same: When God dries up a relationship, we dig for a new one When God exposes a false identity, we dig deeper into performance. When God challenges our comfort, we dig for distractions. When God confronts our sin, we dig for ways to justify our sins. Only God restores what He disrupts. Miracles don’t soften us if we refuse to repent. We don’t need more proof from God…... we need humility! Homework: We must guard our hearts against hardness. Pharaoh saw miracles but still resisted God. Ask yourselves these questions and be honest. Do you have anything in common with Pharaoh? Do I have any areas of Pride? (“I don’t need God”) Do I struggle with my comfort being rocked? (“I don’t want to change”) Do I battle with fear? (“What if I lose control?”) Am I bound by my own sin? (“I want my way”) Repentance: Ask for forgiveness and say, “Lord, soften my heart so I can hear You clearly. Because my spiritual blindness isn’t a lack of evidence…it’s a lack of my willingness. I want to hear Your truth. I want to feel conviction. I want to see You move and witness Your transformation in my life!” God alone controls our sources in life. Egypt thought the Nile sustained them. God showed that He sustains the Nile. We often think that our job provides, our talent provides, and our money provides, but God says, “I am the Lord. I am your source.” The Blood Plague forces us to ask, “What “Niles” do I trust more than God? Where do I seek life outside of Him?” How does this move your heart? Do you feel convicted? Explain… Be honest and then repent… Looking back over the descriptions of the gods - Khnum, Osiris, and Anuket… create a prayer of repentance before the Lord so that you can walk out the “Niles” that continue to enslave you. The challenge is before you…. Pharaoh rejected God’s revelation, embraced cheap counterfeits, retreated into comfort, and relied on his own human efforts… a pattern still alive in every one of our human hearts today. The truth is… if we want to be delivered of our Pharaohs that enslave us, we can look nothing like them! Brandon Lake - Pharaoh https://youtu.be/12R6y-xjjZw?si=afjT5c7oOZyP5j5f

God has heard and established brightness for the one who was prayed for. Joined to Him even in exile and bitterness, His people are made pure by hearing. An exalted people, radiant with anointing, strengthened by God — drawn from weakness into freedom. The Lord is glory, exalting and drawing out His chosen ones. What was exposed will sprout and be remembered. Who is like God? He hides and treasures His own. God, our oath, among a noble people, foretells a willing Son whom He helps and plants like a palm tree. Though bound, God creates, gathers, and increases. Purified by God, we become bold messengers of His glory Homework Sheet: Walking Out Our Own Exodus Read Exodus 4:21–6:30 What does this passage reveal about God’s faithfulness when His people face resistance? How does Moses’ obedience (and sometimes hesitation) mirror your own walk with God? Where in your life do you feel like you are standing before “Pharaoh”? (Write honestly.) What “Egypt” do you believe God is calling you out of right now? What steps of obedience has He already asked of you? What “promised land” are you believing for — spiritually, emotionally, or practically?

The Great Escape from Egypt Session 6 “He meets me in the Territories” I have included here notes to follow along while you do the study. Feel free to copy and paste so that you can journal on your own time. I have also included questions to ponder after the video. Be honest with yourselves because that is where true transformation happens! Be blessed! The Far side of the Wilderness…. Notes: Horeb - “to dry up, to be desolate, to lay waste, and to be in ruins” Notes: Deuteronomy 8:2-3 Notes: Psalm 63:10 Notes: The Burning Bush Moment: Exodus 3, Verse 4-6 - “MOSES, MOSES!” “Here I am,” Moses answered. Notes: God said, “Do not come any closer.. Remove your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground.” Notes: God said, “I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob” Notes: The Cannanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivities, and Jebusites are territories that represent an area where God wants to bring us victory. Canaanites is from the Hebrew word “kana” which means to be low, humbled, or brought down. It represents the spirit of compromise and moral decay and corruption. Notes: Hittites is from the Hebrew word “chitti” which means fear, terror, or dread. It represents fear, anxiety, and intimidation. God calls us to trust Him even when fear threatens to paralyze us. Notes: Amorites is from the Hebrew word “amar” which means to speak, to boast, or to say proudly. It represents pride, self-exaltation, and rebellion. God brings us into humility and surrender so that His glory, not ours, is revealed. Notes: Perizzites is from the Hebrew word “perazi” which means village dweller, unwalled, or unprotected. It represents a lack of boundaries, discipline, or spiritual structure. God teaches us to build walls of integrity, purity, and protection in our lives. Notes: Hivites is from the Hebrew word “chivvi” which is derived from “chavah” which means life or experience. It represents the lure of comfort, compromise, and worldliness living for temporary pleasure. God calls us to holiness and consecration rather than indulgence. Notes: . Jebusites is from the Hebrew word “Yebus” which means to trample down, and to trod underfoot. It represents oppression, condemnation, and hopelessness. God brings restoration, victory and joy where the enemy once trampled us down. Notes: Purify my heart music only https://youtu.be/ASLQ_VnnVpM?si=qfkIKFDXaUDIQKYx The Great Escape from Egypt Session 6 - Homework “He meets me in the Territories” When have you found yourself in a “far side of the wilderness” a place that felt dry or distant - only to realize later that God was removing self-sufficiency and preparing you for something greater? How has God met you in a “Horeb” season, when things felt dry or lifeless, but He showed himself to be present and powerful? Look up Deuteronomy 8:2-3 How does this apply to our wilderness? Psalm 63:1 How does this benefit us? What “burning bush” moments has God placed in your life? (something unusual that drew you closer to Him?) How has God made His call personal to you? In what ways has he affirmed your identity before giving you an assignment? What “sandals” might God be asking you to remove so that you can stand fully in His presence? (habits, attitudes, or distractions) How does knowing God’s faithfulness to others strengthen your faith in His call for you? (family, mentors, biblical figures) Have you had moments when God’s presence made you deeply aware of His holiness, and yet His also His mercy at the same time? Moses Experience is a guideline for our spiritual journey He turns aside to see the bush……….. We respond to God’s invitation God calls his name……………………… His call is personal and relational Remove your sandals……………………Surrender & reverence prepares us for his presence God reveals Himself…………………….. God roots us in His eternal faithfulness Moses hides his face……………………. Awe leads to humility and transformation Which of the “Ites-Territories” do you sense God calling you to confront so He can bring you fully into your promised land?

The Great Escape from Egypt - Part 5 - "He Refines me in the Wilderness" I have included here notes to follow along while you do the study. Feel free to copy and paste so that you can journal on your own time. I have also included questions to ponder after the video. Be honest with yourselves because that is where true transformation happens! Be blessed! The Great Escape from Egypt Session 5 - “He Refines me in the Wilderness” NOTES: Exodus 2:15 The name Midian, in Hebrew, means - To judge, to contend, and to strive. Therefore, Midian can be translated as, a place of “strife, contention, and a place of judgement.” However, Midian becomes a place of refuge, refining, and encounter. Midian represents, “The place where God turns your conflict into clarity, and your striving into surrender.” NOTES: Reuel’s name means “Friend of God.” NOTES: Jethro’s (Reuel) name in Hebrew means “abundance, overflow, excellence, and surplus” This meaning also fits the character of God for us in our own Exile seasons. Jethro or Reuel was portrayed as a wise, generous, and spiritually rich man who offered counsel and blessing. It’s exactly parallel to what God offers us. “abundance, overflow, excellence, surplus, wisdom, generosity, counsel and blessing. NOTES: Zipporah’s name means “Bird” and that name reflects freedom, movement, and grace. She represents not just a marriage or wife to Moses.. But a new beginning for Moses… a partnership in his life. That’s what God does for us. He partners with us to bring us freedom. NOTES: Gershom's name means “Foreigner there” NOTES: Exodus 2:23-24 “God Saw, God Heard, God Remembered, and God Knew.” Each of these verbs reveals something about God’s character: God saw them and he was concerned. He’s observant, and aware of our pain. God heard the cries and groans of the people. He is attentive to our cries. God remembered his covenant. He’s faithful to his promises. And God knew.. He is intimately involved. His knowledge is relational and not distant. NOTES: In regards to my Identity… In what ways do I sometimes struggle between the “palace living” of comfort and self reliance, and the desert where I have to become humble and dependent on God? In regards to my Hidden Years… What part of my life right now might feel like a desert and how might God be using it to prepare me for something greater? In regards to my Calling… How can I move from reacting out of impulse to responding out of divine direction? In regards to my Faith… Like Moses, what step of faith might God be calling me to take.. Even if it costs me something? Here's the video that I talked about in the video. Bart Millard "It Must Be You." https://youtu.be/nDQdzksTCaQ?si=xcJpPmupkpFzC67s The Great Escape from Egypt Session 5 - “He Refines me in the Wilderness” Moses’ story didn’t begin with a miracle. It began with a cry, a calling, and a choice. And that’s where our story starts too… Look up the following passages and write down key insights or words that stand out to you: You may also use the back of this paper if you need extra space to write. Isaiah 41:10 Joshua 1:9 Psalm 46:1-3 Hebrews 12:5-11 Proverbs 13:24 Philippians 1:6 Romans 8:28 Write a letter to yourself on the next page. This letter is to be FROM God TO you. From God’s perspective in your wilderness, what encouragement, correction, or promise does He have for you? Dearest_______________________, Love, God

The Great Escape from Egypt - Part 4 - "He Draws me Out." I have included here notes to follow along while you do the study. Feel free to copy and paste so that you can journal on your own time. I have also included questions to ponder after the video. Be honest with yourselves because that is where true transformation happens! Be blessed! The Great Escape From Egypt Part 4 “He Draws Me Out” NOTES: Moses - Child, Rescued From Drowning In Water, Extracted, Loan, Hidden, and Covered Nile - is derived from the Greek word "Neilos," which means "river." The longest river in the world, symbolizing qualities such as unwavering flow, nourishing abundance, and enduring presence. NOTES: Asphalt & Pitch - binding agents. Asphalt - Bitumen (sticky tar like substance) Pitch - Chemar (black tar, priest, minister, or a little lamb.) NOTES: The same deep waters we go through, may be meant for our destruction but it often becomes the place for our deliverance. NOTES: Moses’ name also means - “drawn out. But it also means “Savior.” We get rescued, to become rescuers. We get delivered, to become deliverers. We get drawn out, to lead others to the Savior. NOTES: Moses’ mothers name was Jochebed - “Yahweh is Glory” Just like her name declared God’s glory over her child, God’s glory is revealed in our lives. “Yahweh is Glory” over our lives too. YOUR THOUGHTS AFTER THIS LESSON: How does this apply to your life? Homework Where am I in this story? The Basket Moment: Do you have any places in your life right now where you are just “floating” and feeling unsure, helpless, or needing rescue? What’s your “basket” right now? What’s something that holds you together when life feels overwhelming? (this will tell you where your priorities are) Read Exodus 2:1-10 - Write: What stands out to you most in this story about how God protects and provides? Heart Check: What are some “leaks” in your life? (worries, fears, or doubts) that you’ve been trying to seal up on your own? How might God’s love be the “pitch” that keeps you secure instead? Read the following Scriptures Romans 8:38-39 Colossians 1:17 Psalm 46:1-3 Then Write: What promise from these verses do you most need to believe this week? Personal Reflection: Where in your life do you need to be reminded that Jesus is watching over you? Are there areas that you need to surrender in order to trust and see that he cares for you? Read the following Scriptures Hebrews 2:11-12 Psalm 121:3-8 1 Peter 5:7 Then Write: How can you cast your cares to Him this week? Prayer Challenge: Read the following Scriptures Proverbs 3:5-6 Isaiah 43:1-2 List what “supplies” of your life (time, relationships, control, plans, etc) you should surrender to the Lord this week. Then write a prayer of surrender - something honest and from your heart - asking God to help you trust him with the deep waters of your life.

The Great Escape from Egypt - Part 3 - "He Knows my Name." I have included here notes to follow along while you do the study. Feel free to copy and paste so that you can journal on your own time. I have also included questions to ponder after the video. Be honest with yourselves because that is where true transformation happens! Be blessed! The Great Escape from Egypt Series Session 3 “He Knows My Name.” Homework Back in Biblical times, names carried deep meaning in Hebrew culture. A name was more than just a label. It reflected that person or place’s identity, character, destiny, or even divine purpose.  Google the meanings of your name now. First Name ________________ Meaning Middle Name___________ Meaning Last Name _________________Meaning Now what does this new revelation about your name invoke in your heart? Good or Bad, Be truthful.  At this time, if your name is a negative, you may refer back to the video on how to come out of contract and agreement in the spirit realm with the negative consequences of your name and its meaning. Breaking those consequences off of your life, your body, and your soul. Then look up scriptures that speak the opposite. Write it all down using "I" and "Me" Or... look up scriptures that affirm your name meanings. Thanking God for how he made you, and for the assignment he's put on your life, that you may be able to walk in your full purpose and identity. This is a prophetic word of declaration over your life. Own it! The Word is in you! Find the most powerful scriptures you can find to speak over your life. Let it fight for you to speak purpose over your life and calling.

Be honest with yourselves because that is where true transformation happens! Be blessed! The Great Escape from Egypt Series Session 2 “He Meets Me in the Struggle.” Jacob’s name means “Supplanter” which means “to take the place of someone often by force, trickery, or strategy” or “one who overtakes” NOTES: Israel’s name means “He struggles with God” “God contends” and “God prevails” NOTES: The Great Escape from Egypt Series Session 2- Homework Have you ever struggled in life with feeling like you had to perform, work hard, or reach further to get ahead? Maybe even cheating or stealing to try to gain favor, an inheritance, or the Father’s blessing? Where in life have you sold your birthright (worth and value) for temporary pleasures? Where in life have you not taken the “fear of the Lord” seriously and protected the anointing on your life? Guarding over the inheritance and requests given to you by the Lord? Do you feel that you have what it takes to power through, do the hard work, and wrestle with God for the blessings that are due to you in your generational lineage? And why? (Think this one through, for it will cost you everything.) Are you sick and tired of being sick and tired? Are you ready to fully surrender to the Lordship of the King of Glory, who wants to do great and mighty things in you and through you? What does that “Full Surrender” look like for you? List the strongholds that you see working in you, that could possibly be seen working in your children and grandchildren now too? What changes do you need to make in your own life, in order to see the tides turn for your family?

The Great Escape from Egypt - Part 1 I have included here notes to follow along while you do the study. Feel free to copy and paste so that you can journal on your own time. I have also included questions to ponder after the video. Be honest with yourselves because that is where true transformation happens! Be blessed! The Great Escape from Egypt Series Session 1 Pharaoh: In Egyptian, Pharaoh means “great house” or “palace.” In the Hebrew, Pharaoh means “to let loose, let go, or bundle without restriction.” Notes: Boundaries communicate LOVE: No rules often feel like no one is paying attention or cares, which can make a child feel unwanted or unsafe. Boundaries create SECURITY: Kids thrive when they know where the “edges” are. Rules act like a fence around a playground. They don’t limit joy, they create a safe space where joy can flourish Boundaries REDUCE fear: Without structure, kids feel the weight of making decisions they aren’t ready for. They know what is expected and can rest inside the structure. Boundaries teach FREEDOM: A child who learns discipline and restraint discovers that they’re not mastered by every impulse. In the long run, this gives them far greater freedom than a child who “lets loose” without guidance and ends up trapped by bad habits or dangerous consequences. Notes: The Key Characteristics of this Pharaoh- Religious Spirit Control and Bondage Just like Pharaoh, it demands obedience to its rules, not God’s It pressures people to follow man-made rules or traditions, which can restrict life and freedom rather than release it. Pride and Self-Exaltation Just like Pharaoh, it thinks it’s the ultimate authority; trusted in all its power, its wisdom, and its “great house.” It elevates self righteousness or institutional authority above the heart of God’s law, keeping people enslaved to its own rules instead of freed to worship. Resistance to God’s Deliverance Just like Pharaoh, it continually hardens its heart against God in the way it resists true freedom. Often subtly; by making people feel guilty for stepping out of man-made expectations or for embracing God’s grace. Appearance of Power but carries other Fruit Just like Pharaoh, its “great house” looks impressive but it is a house of slavery. This religious spirit may look spiritual or righteous, but it can stifle love, joy, and growth, turning faith into legalism or fear. Plain and Simple: A religious spirit mimics Pharaoh: It creates the illusion of spiritual power and freedom but enslaves hearts through pride, legalism, manipulation, control, and fear. God’s Spirit calls us out of Pharaoh’s house and into His house. We do not belong in a house of slavery, but in a house of life, peace, and joy. Like a child safely playing inside a fence, we find true freedom when we respect His boundaries and trust His care. Notes: Questions to ponder after you watch the video The Great Escape from Egypt- Part 1 Homework: 1. What “pharaohs” in my life - things, habits, mindsets - are holding me in bondage right now? List them even if they seem small or harmless. 2. Are there areas where I’ve allowed fear, pride, or stubbornness to act like invisible chains, keeping me from stepping into what God has called me to do? 3. How do I respond when God confronts my “chains”? Do I rebel, stay passive, or submit to His guidance? 4. In what ways might I be like an elephant - strong and capable - but held back by a small rope, believing I can’t break free? 5. How have boundaries or rules in my life been protective, and where have they felt like oppression? How can I discern the difference? 6. As a “watchman” or someone in influence over others, how am I guarding and guiding people God has placed under my care? Are my actions aligned with His voice? 7. Where do I need to examine my heart for pride - subtle or obvious - that might be keeping me from freedom and purpose? 8. What steps can I take this week to break free from the chains - visible or invisible - that are holding me back, so I can walk fully in God’s calling?
