BASIC SCRIPTURES 14th APRIL 2025 PRAYERS AND DAILY DECLARATIONS
Exodus 5:1-23 (KJV):
1 And afterward Moses and Aaron went in, and told Pharaoh, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Let my people go, that they may hold a feast unto me in the wilderness.
2 And Pharaoh said, Who is the Lord, that I should obey his voice to let Israel go? I know not the Lord, neither will I let Israel go.
3 And they said, The God of the Hebrews hath met with us: let us go, we pray thee, three days’ journey into the desert, and sacrifice unto the Lord our God; lest he fall upon us with pestilence, or with the sword.
4 And the king of Egypt said unto them, Wherefore do ye, Moses and Aaron, let the people from their works? get you unto your burdens.
5 And Pharaoh said, Behold, the people of the land now are many, and ye make them rest from their burdens.
6 And Pharaoh commanded the same day the taskmasters of the people, and their officers, saying,
7 Ye shall no more give the people straw to make brick, as heretofore: let them go and gather straw for themselves.
8 And the tale of the bricks, which they did make heretofore, ye shall lay upon them; ye shall not diminish ought thereof: for they be idle; therefore they cry, saying, Let us go and sacrifice to our God.
9 Let there more work be laid upon the men, that they may labour therein; and let them not regard vain words.
10 And the taskmasters of the people went out, and their officers, and they spake to the people, saying, Thus saith Pharaoh, I will not give you straw.
11 Go ye, get you straw where ye can find it: yet not ought of your work shall be diminished.
12 So the people were scattered abroad throughout all the land of Egypt to gather stubble instead of straw.
13 And the taskmasters hasted them, saying, Fulfil your works, your daily tasks, as when there was straw.
14 And the officers of the children of Israel, which Pharaoh’s taskmasters had set over them, were beaten, and demanded, Wherefore have ye not fulfilled your task in making brick both yesterday and today, as heretofore?
15 Then the officers of the children of Israel came and cried unto Pharaoh, saying, Wherefore dealest thou thus with thy servants?
16 There is no straw given unto thy servants, and they say to us, Make brick: and, behold, thy servants are beaten; but the fault is in thine own people.
17 But he said, Ye are idle, ye are idle: therefore ye say, Let us go and do sacrifice to the Lord.
18 Go therefore now, and work; for there shall no straw be given you, yet shall ye deliver the tale of bricks.
19 And the officers of the children of Israel did see that they were in evil case, after it was said, Ye shall not diminish ought from your bricks of your daily task.
20 And they met Moses and Aaron, who stood in the way, as they came forth from Pharaoh:
21 And they said unto them, The Lord look upon you, and judge; because ye have made our savour to be abhorred in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of his servants, to put a sword in their hand to slay us.
22 And Moses returned unto the Lord, and said, Lord, wherefore hast thou so evil entreated this people? why is it that thou hast sent me?
23 For since I came to Pharaoh to speak in thy name, he hath done evil to this people; neither hast thou delivered thy people at all.

Opening Prayer:
Heavenly Father,
I come before You today with a heart full of trust, knowing that You are sovereign over all things. Like Moses and Aaron, I stand in awe of Your call to action and Your promise to deliver Your people. Lord, help me to remain steadfast in faith, even when opposition arises or when the situation seems dire. Strengthen my resolve to obey Your voice and trust Your timing.
Prayer Against Resistance:
Lord, like Pharaoh, there are forces in this world—both spiritual and earthly—that resist Your will and seek to oppress Your people. I declare that every stronghold of resistance against Your kingdom is broken by the power of Your Word. Just as You confronted Pharaoh, confront every force that opposes Your purposes in my life and in the lives of those around me.
Prayer for Strength in Trials:
Father, when the burdens grow heavier and the demands increase, remind me that You are my strength and refuge. Help me not to lose heart but to persevere in faith, knowing that You are working behind the scenes. When I feel overwhelmed, teach me to cast my cares upon You, trusting that You will sustain me.
Prayer Against False Accusations:
Lord, protect me from false accusations and misunderstandings, just as the Israelites faced when Pharaoh accused them of being idle. Guard my reputation and grant me grace to respond with humility and wisdom when others misjudge my intentions. May my actions always reflect Your truth and righteousness.
Prayer for Deliverance:
Father, I cry out to You for deliverance from every form of bondage and oppression. Just as You heard the cries of the Israelites, hear my prayer today. Remove every burden that weighs me down and lead me into the freedom You have promised. I trust that You will fulfill Your Word and bring about redemption in due time.
Closing Prayer:
Thank You, Lord, for hearing my prayers and for being my ever-present help in times of trouble. I declare that no matter how dark the circumstances may seem, Your light will shine through. In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen.
