Propelled by the I WILL's of the I AM

As God preps Israel to be propelled from Egypt, He releases these I Wills for Israel: 

• I will bring you out

• I will rescue you

• I will redeem you

• I will take you as My people and be your God

• I will bring you into the fullness of the Promise and give it to you (Dt. 6)

As we enter God's first month, the King of months, we must ask how these operate for us here and now. 

From what do we need deliverance, into what do we move, and how does that come to pass? 

That Dt 6 passage informs the Passover Seder when four of these I will's are acknowledged - each by another glass of wine. (Ok... we like that part)

Yet in this year of 5 (2025 & 5785) it is the fifth I will that calls for attention. 

What promises of God has He brought us to, given us, and why have we not occupied them? 

Too frequently the answer is that we're still in need of the first 4 wills as we're stuck and need to be moved. 

Yet the narrative in the Exodus demonstrates that they were not simply released: They were propelled.

Successful launch of a 32,000 pound plane from a carrier requires two sets of forces: The force of the engines within and the force of the catapult from without.  

Israel was groaning to leave and yet it was Pharaoh who drove them out. 

Likewise for us: The longing and groaning within us links up with outward pressures that together propel us beyond the old bondage (or comforts) and into the new. 

This experience is not particularly pleasant, but is absolutely necessary. 

Much more on the replay including the importance of God's holdback bar in all of this. 

Watch. Learn. Receive. Ponder. Pray. Align.

We all need to be launched into something new. 

Learn to lean into and leverage the pressures and so be propelled by the I WILL's of the I AM.
