Magic Versus Miracles - Egyptian Showdown Featuring Moses! [Exodus]

How Could Sorcerers Perform Miracles? 

Scriptures : Exodus 7; 2 Timothy 3:8
Today's post is in response to Ken Kinsley. Ken requested a response from me on Quora to the following question:

In the book of Exodus, how could the Pharoah's sorcerers perform miracles? Miracles of inferior quality to those performed by Moses, certainly, but miracles nonetheless. Who is granting them this power if not their gods? 

My prayer:
In the name of Your Son, Jesus Christ of Nazareth, I come to You asking O Father  for discernment.
Open my eyes to the truth of the meaning of these words recorded so long ago. Give me discernment that I  may convey what it is You wish people to know and understand about this scripture.
Help me understand the texts and at the same time, help me to remain humble in the pursuit of this knowledge. Do not let me become puffed up or prideful. Help anyone reading my writings to understand that I am merely a student, a human, and very flawed at that.
Help them to understand how important it is that they ask You, O Father, to open the eyes of their hearts to the particular message You have for them concerning this ancient writing. Help them see the importance of having a personal relationship with You.
May all be according to Your will.
Amen.

Examining the Exodus Showdown 

Exodus is one of the most exciting books of ancient Hebrew writing. However, first we need to some matters straight.
The writings do not state the wisemen and magicians summoned by Pharaoh, performed miracles. 
The text says that they merely copied the actions of Aaron in Exodus 7:11.

they did likewise through their בְּלַהֲטֵיהֶם.  

To truly understand the Hebrew text of Exodus 7:11 it would be best to consult the original writer. Ask Our Father to reveal the meaning it holds for you.
Second best, is best to consult a student of that language and time period.
Just as meanings of words and phrases have shifted in English, it is necessary to not only know the Hebrew words, but what was meant by those words in that time period.
Unfortunately, I am not a learned scholar in these areas.

Debt Reduction By The Book - Tom Copland Helps!

Debt Dragging You Down?

Many people get really dragged down by debt.
 I know what it's like. Several years ago I  stopped using credit cards, because I never wanted to have a credit problem again.
This left me in a bit of a pickle when I tried to get a mortgage.
In desperation, I called Tom Copland who does a broadcast I've listened to for several years.
I wondered, could the Bible Finance have some advice for me?
To my pleasant surprise, Tom, himself, called me back right away and also  referred me to a person who arranges mortgages for several banks.
Unfortunately, this person was not able to help me with my problem either, but that's another story.
What's the story here?
Tom Copland is a caring individual who responds to his listeners with concrete Biblical based financial solutions.
