The Blessings

• Victory – Soon after the Passover meal, Moses said in Ex. 14:13 that Israel will never see its enemies again, forever. After Jesus Christ shed His blood, we overcame Satan and all its agents, Rev. 12:11. Our victory becomes irreversible.

• Deliverance – After the Passover meal, the deliverance of the children of Israel became irreversible, Ex. 14:27-28; Ex. 15:9-11. Jesus destroyed the power of death, sin, and delivered all from power of Satan, Heb. 2:14-15. Death became a horse we ride into glory. Our deliverance is complete and irreversible because He shed His blood.

• Prosperity – After the Passover meal, their prosperity became irreversible, Ex. 12:35-36. Jesus became poor that we might be rich – 2 Cor. 8:9.
