The case of the stubborn Pharaoh

"The Moses left Pharaoh and prayed to the Lord, and the Lord did what Moses asked: The flies left Pharaoh and his officials and his people; not a fly remained. But this time also Pharaoh hardened his heart and would not let the people go." - Exo 8:30-32

Pharaoh was stubbornly disobeying God when he refused to allow the Israelites to leave Egypt in spite of the miracles that were performed before him by Aaron and Moses.

"What goes into a man's mouth does not make him 'unclean', but what comes out of his mouth, that is what makes him 'unclean'." - Matt 15:11

Jesus explained that whatever that enters the mouth through the stomach and then out of the body, does not make a man unclean, but the things that come out of the mouth comes from the heart, and these are what makes the man unclean.

PRAYER:
"Dearest Father in Heaven, grant me the eyes so that I can see, the ears that I may hear, and the mouth so that I may speak, all in accordance to Your wisdom and purpose for me. Father Lord, let me not be like the obstinate and self-righteous Pharaoh, but give me a meek heart, that is always ever ready to take Your commands.
Father I pray that the Kingdom of God within me will constantly be at work so that I may always be clean in Your sight. Purify and cleanse my heart of any kind of impurities, and I pray that You too would search my heart for anything that displeases me that I may be ignorant of. Lord, I seek Your guidance so that the light of the Kingdom of God may shine forth brightly unto me. In Jesus' name, I pray, Amen."
