Isn't it funny that we can wrongfully assess when things are over? There are situations that we walk away from believing that we are truly delivered from, only to have the same thing catch up to us in the next city, next job, the next! The children of Israel learned the lesson a little late but not too late. They still walked into their future home in Canaan. God used Moses, a man who knew the streets of Egypt because he was raised there, to be the object of deliverance. Could it be what you were raised in, you will eventually serve in? Stop running! After 10 plagues Pharoah still would not let Israel go, with a little help from God! No plague touched the Israelites. Sickness all around them, pain visible to them, devastation in reach of them and yet it did not affect them. When something is not meant for you, it's just not going to affect you.
Israel left Egypt physically, but did not realize that Pharoah was still emotionally (anger) tied to them. If you do not want to face the thing that God has delivered you from..make sure it is dealt with, taken care of before you begin celebrating freedom. Sure enough, Pharoah shows up again where the Israelites least expected him to, at the Red Sea. When you have everything in front of you, make sure you have nothing coming up behind you. Kill that demon and then you can leave!
