Consider Moses and the many miracles that God performed through him. See below a list of some of what he did with the assistance of his brother Aaron. How was he able to speak and declare these things before Pharaoh or perform these things and then watch these things come to pass?
1. Aaron’s rod changed into a serpent (Ex. 7:10-12)
The ten plagues of Egypt (Ex. 7:20-12:30)
1. Waters become blood
2. Frogs
3. Lice
4. Flies
5. Murrain or Pestilence
6. Boils
7. Thunder and hail
8. Locusts
9. Darkness
10. Death of the first-born
Other Miracles Done by Moses and/or Aaron
1. Red Sea divided; Israel passes through (See: Passage of Red Sea) (Ex. 14:21-31)
2. Waters of Marah sweetened (Ex. 15:23-25)
3. Manna sent daily, except on Sabbath (Ex. 16:14-35)
4. Water from the rock at Rephidim (Ex. 17:5-7)
5. Nadab and Abihu consumed for offering “strange fire” (Lev. 10:1, 2)
6. Some of the people consumed by fire at Taberah (Num. 11:1-3)
7. The earth opens and swallows up Korah and his company. (Num. 16:32-34)
8. Fire at Kadesh (Num. 16:35-45)
9. Plague at Kadesh (Num. 16:46-50)
10. Aaron’s rod budding at Kadesh (Num. 17:8)
11. Water from the rock, smitten twice by Moses, desert of Zin (Num. 20:7-11)
12. The brazen serpent in the desert of Zin (Num. 21:8-9)
How was Moses able to confidently speak to Pharaoh and declare the coming of plagues he himself had never witnessed or observed in his own life? Remember at this time Moses was 80 or more years and had never seen the magnitude of plague events that he had described would happen to Pharoah and the Egyptians.
I can assume that he was able to “speak these things…(Romans 4:17) because of the trust and faith he had in GOD developed through the relationship he had nurtured with GOD in the desert where he first saw the burning bush unconsumed (Exodus 3:3).
Where is your trust and confidence? Do you have a relationship with God? Is your relationship with God priority #1 in your life? How confidently would we speak if we knew that our God Almighty and the host of heaven were backing us up and would execute “The Words We Speak”?
