“DISTROYED!”

“The enemy we see today, we will see no more!”

Today I want to share some truths with you that I believe we are shown in the story of the Israelites crossing the red sea.

God had delivered them from Egypt with a mighty hand and according to most Bible scholars, the number of men, women, and children were between 4 and 6 million.

That many people are hard to picture crossing the wilderness toward the red sea and relying on Moses to lead them as God directed.

After they left, Pharoah changed his mind and pursued them with his army.

When we are free from something and are going to a better place in life the enemy will pursue you with that habit, failure, hurt, offense, or whatever you have been delivered from! We call it temptation!

We must keep going forward to the calling of Christ Jesus to be like Him!

When the Israelites came to the red sea, they found the sea before them and the Egyptian army behind them and they were afraid.

The enemy wants to use fear to defeat us! Fear is the enemy of Faith!

They saw no way out! Maybe there is something in your life today that you see no way out of, but GOD WILL MAKE A WAY! Just obey!

So, much like us, the people began to complain about and to their leader Moses and accused him of bringing them out to die in the wilderness and they would have been better to stay in Egypt!

Please never fall for the lie from satan that it was better back in the bondage of the enemy! The enemy wants you to look back and when you look back you tend to go back.

God had a plan then and God has a plan for your life and your continued deliverance!

Whatever enemy you are free from but find it is pursuing you is defeated as you obey and go forward as God leads!

Exodus 14:13-14 (KJV)
¹³ And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, YE SHALL SEE THEM AGAIN NO MORE FOR EVER.
¹⁴ The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.

The Lord wants to fight your battle of deliverance as you rest in Him and the power of His might!

God was not saying, do not do anything, but He was saying just obey and let me do the deliverance. You see deliverance is not up to us except to obey and go forward toward all God has placed in us!

Exodus 14:21-23 (KJV)
²¹ And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the LORD caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided.
²² And the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea upon the dry ground: and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left.
²³ And the Egyptians pursued, and went in after them to the midst of the sea, even all Pharaoh’s horses, his chariots, and his horsemen.

Exodus 14:27-28 (KJV)
²⁷ And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to his strength when the morning appeared; and the Egyptians fled against it; and the LORD overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea.
²⁸ And the waters returned, and covered the chariots, and the horsemen, and all the host of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them; there remained not so much as one of them.

The people did not fight, they obeyed, went forward into the sea and that enemy was destroyed, not one left!

May I tell you the enemy that is pursuing you is destroyed as you obey! Other enemies will rise as you walk through life just as they did against the Israelites but with Faith in God through Jesus Christ, we can walk in Victory over every one of them!

But the habit, hurt, confusion, pull back in the world’s way, or whatever is pursuing you today you will see no more, as you obey and go forward!

/////Father, in Jesus’ name I come! Thank you for your Love that is amazing and thank you that your desire to fight for us is true and real! May we just rest in you, pray, and obey and let you give us strength and direction in every situation! Struggle and fear come from the enemy. Rest and peace and deliverance come from you Father, through the sacrifice of Jesus! We rest in you in the walk through our busy days! Amen!

Rest in the Lord and the Power of His might!

Love, MeMaw
