It caused boils to erupt on people and animals. <b>The magicians weren’t able to compete with Moses this time because of the boils—they were covered with boils just like everyone else in Egypt. </b></span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;">Exodus 9:8-11 MSG <br /></span><br /><br /><b><span style="font-family: Fira Sans; font-size: large;">Truth: "I possess an unbeatable advantage and am victorious through Christ Jesus." </span></b><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Outfit; font-size: large;"><b><u>Praise & Prayer</u></b><br /><i>Almighty God, I praise You for filling me with the assurance that no enemy, weapon, or evil can ever compete with You.

He said, ‘Tomorrow the Lord will make this happen in this country.’” The next morning the Lord did what he said. All the farm animals of the Egyptians died, but none of the animals that belonged to the Israelites died. Pharaoh sent people to see if any of the animals of Israel died. Not one of them died.

Thank you, Lord Jesus, for going to the cross and rising from the dead to save me from the judgments I rightfully deserved.

All the dust throughout the land of Egypt became gnats. But when the magicians tried to produce gnats by their secret arts, they could not. Since the gnats were on people and animals everywhere, the magicians said to Pharaoh, <b>“THIS IS THE FINGER OF GOD.”</b> But Pharaoh’s heart was hard and he would not listen, just as the Lord had said.

No weapons, no worry, will prosper against me. Hallelujah! I worship and praise You, Heavenly Father, for sending Jesus Christ to deliver me from the clutches of evil. Please strengthen me, O Lord, so that I may be an instrument of Your power who bravely stands against the forces of the wicked and individuals who harm others. I thank You for being my Protector, my Shield, my Fortress, and my Deliverer who frees me from fear and hopelessness. I ask You to please place a hedge of protection around my family members and fellow believers who are fighting the good fight of faith. Please guide me, Holy Spirit, to someone who is unprotected and being destroyed by the evil one. I pray for their deliverance in the Almighty Name of Christ Jesus our Savior.
