When Israel left Egypt they were nothing more than a battered band of slaves. They knew nothing in their life except for slavery, oppression and tyranny.God, through the wilderness experience and the giving of His word, had to change their "Stinkin Thinkin."
Why do you suppose that these people were so quick to say "let's go back to Egypt." "Let's go back to slavery and oppression."
Huh? Wait, they were willing to exchange their glorious freedom for the shackles of slavery? Why? Because they were still thinking like slaves.
God was trying to change them from slaves to sons.
Why do we lack the freedom and power that God desires for us to have. It is because we have been conditioned by the world to think like slaves.
We must realize that God did not call us out of slavery to be His slaves... He called us to be His sons and to possess His authority and His birthright.
We must change our Stinkin Thinkin from thinking like slaves to thinking like SONS...
Gal 4:6-7
6 And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.
7 Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.
