"THE SPECTACLE AT THE RED SEA (2)"

Post date: Aug 28, 2018 3:43:53 AM

In their fears and confusion and doubts and anger, and uncertainty, they saw something different; they saw the move and power of God with their eyes wide open, not in dreams. “Then the Lord said to Moses, why are you crying out to me? Tell the people to get moving. Pick up your staff and raise your hand over the sea. Divide the water so the Israelites can walk through the middle of the sea on dry ground. And I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they will charge in after the Israelites. My great glory will be displayed through Pharaoh and his troops, his chariots, and his charioteers. When my glory is displayed through them, all Egypt will see my glory and know that I am the Lord. Then the angel of God, who had been leading the people of Israel, moved to the rear of the camp. The pillar of cloud also moved from the front and stood behind them. The cloud settled between the Egyptian and Israelite camps. As darkness fell, the cloud turned to fire, lighting up the night. But the Egyptians and Israelites did not approach each other all night. Then Moses raised his hand over the sea, and the Lord opened up a path through the water with a strong east wind. The wind blew all that night, turning the seabed into dry land. So the people of Israel walked through the middle of the sea on dry ground, with walls of water on each side. Exodus 14:15-22

What the children of Israel first saw from the camp of Pharaoh generated fear in them, doubts if any of them will be alive thereafter, uncertainty of what will happen, confusion, discouragement and despair against Moses, but unknown to them God was on their side to show Pharaoh His power and ability to deliver, defend and set free those He had chosen. What happened next was a scene they could not imagine. They saw the movement of clouds where they were, the light on their side and darkness at the side of the Egyptians who were coming after them, they saw Moses praying and the next thing that happened was that they saw the parting of the Red Sea. That was unbelievable and unimaginable; something they never thought could happen, something that had never happened before and something that proved to them that God was in the battle to save them from the hands of Pharaoh. I pray that as the Lord is with and in you fighting the enemies on your behalf, He will show you things that are beyond the best imaginations of your heart and that of your enemies in their best thoughts and power. “Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah the second time, while he was still confined in the court of the guard, saying, thus says the Lord who made the earth, the Lord who formed it to establish it, the Lord is His name, call to Me and I will answer you, and tell you and even show you great and mighty things, things which have been confined and hidden, which you do not know and understand and cannot distinguish.” Jeremiah 33:1-3. God is still doing miracles today as He did before; He is still answering prayers, defeating enemies and bringing down powers and authorities as He for the children of Israel against Pharaoh and his armies.

Whan the children of Israel saw the parting of the Red Sea, it brought instant joy that eliminated their fears; it gave them confidence in the battle and in their freedom, it gave them hope beyond words that God was with them, it gave them assurance that God was with them for good, and it gave them certainty in their desire for complete freedom from the hands of Pharaoh and from slavery and captivity in Egypt. What god had said, that He will do. He will give you victory, He will stand with you, He will fight for you and He will establish you. God will fulfill His words and promises in ways that are best known to Him and His ways are higher and better and beyond the imaginations of men. What the children of Israel saw that day was not a dream, but a real move by God in ways that gave them greater joy and confidence. I pray as you look unto the Lord for your freedom, He will move in ways that are beyond dreams, and will show you in real life His power and ability in saving, delivering, defending and establishing you.
