Secret of Miracle Ministry
You shall speak all that I command you. (Exodus 7:2)
Secret of miracles is to speak what the LORD says to speak. The LORD will confirm His Word not yours.
And they went out and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the word through the accompanying signs. Amen (Mark 16:20)
And the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord, when I stretch out My hand on Egypt and bring out the children of Israel from among them.” (Exodus 7:5)
It's one thing to personally know the Lord and it's another thing to know that He is the Lord. The Egyptians did not have a personal relationship with the Lord but seeing the mighty acts of judgement they that He is Lord.
Then Moses and Aaron did so; just as the Lord commanded them, so they did. And Moses was eighty years old and Aaron eighty-three years old when they spoke to Pharaoh. (Exodus 7:6-7)
Earlier the Bible tells us that Miriam was older than Moses and now The Bible again tells us that Aaron was older than Moses by three years. Moses was the youngest of the siblings.
So it was nearly three years and more when the Pharaoh gave a command to throw boys into the nile since Aaron was already born.
Miracles prove your authority
When Pharaoh says to you, Prove [your authority] by a miracle, then tell Aaron, Throw your rod down before Pharaoh, that it may become a serpent. (Exodus 7:9)
7:14-25 Water turned to Blood
The first plague to hit Egypt is that the water turned to blood. The first miracle that Jesus performed in the gospel of John was that he turned water into wine. I think that's intriguing, because blood in the Bible speaks of judgment, while wine generally speaks of joy. Moses brought judgment, but Jesus brought joy.
John 1:17 For the Law was given through Moses; grace and truth were realized through Jesus Christ.
7:8-13 satan's Counterfeits
When Aaron's staff becomes a serpent, the magicians of Egypt did the same thing. When Moses rod struck the waters and turned it into blood , the magicians of Egypt did the same.
Paul tells us in 2 Timothy that these magicians were named Jannes and Jambres. It is quite shocking to learn that the magicians were also able to perform the miracles that Moses performed.
Remember as you go through the Bible, and you go through life, that satan is not an original guy. Everything he does, he's copied from God in some way, shape, or form. satan has power, but no originality.
The mark of the beast, on the right hand or the forehead, was an idea stolen from God, as He promised to seal His people in the same place. The prophets of God have been counterfeited with false prophets.
The signs in the heavens that God placed, satan has perverted into astrology.
So Jannes and Jambres are opposing Moses with the same signs and wonders.
The interesting thing is that the magicians could not turn the blood back into water.
