Your Red Sea Moment: When God Says 'Go Forward'
You are anointed to do exploits. You are not some common, ordinary person just floating through life. God has already crossed you over from the ordinary into the extraordinary. You were made for greatness. I need you to hear that today.
Think about Moses. God called him. God chose him. God anointed him. And God equipped him to do exploits. Now Moses questioned God - he said, "God, I'm not able." But God said, "Yes you are, because I will be with you." And that same God is with you right now.
You remember the story. The children of Israel had their backs against the Red Sea. Pharaoh's army was coming up behind them. The people turned on Moses and started complaining - "We should have stayed in Egypt!" But I'm telling you right now, I'm not staying in Egypt. I'd rather take the risk and face every Pharaoh in my life than go back to bondage. I'm headed to the other side.
Moses told the people in Exodus 14, "The Lord shall fight for you, and you shall hold your peace." Moses had seen everything God had done. He turned the Nile into blood. He sent the frogs. He sent the lice. He sent the plagues. He sent the darkness. Moses was convinced God was going to fight for His people.
GO FORWARD
But then God said something to Moses that shook him to his core. God said, "Why are you crying out to me?" Now wait a minute. That doesn't sound like the God we're used to hearing about? We're used to hearing, "Call upon the name of the Lord." But now - in this moment, at the Red Sea, with the enemy behind them and the water in front of them, God says to Moses, "Why are you crying out to me?"
Somebody needs to hear this. God was not rebuking Moses for praying. There is a time to pray, but there is also a time to move. There is a time to cry out, and there is a time to step out.
God said, "Tell the children of Israel to go forward." Go forward! What God was really saying was, "Stop just praying about it and act on your faith." You've been praying long enough. You've been crying long enough. You've been fasting long enough. You've been asking long enough. Now it's time - I feel the Holy Ghost right here - now it's time to do something about your situation.
James chapter 2 and verse 17 - the Word of God says, "Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone." Dead! Not just weak. DEAD. God is saying to somebody in this place tonight, "Stop crying out to me about what I've already given you the power to do. Get up. Step out. Go forward. And watch me part the sea.
THE ANSWER IS ALREADY IN YOUR HANDS
Then God told Moses something powerful. He said, "Lift up thy rod." The answer was already in Moses' hands. And I want to ask you today - what answer has God already placed in your hands that you've been ignoring? When you're under attack and in the heat of the battle, sometimes you forget what God has already given you. You've got to refocus. Get your eyes back on the solution.
God told Moses, "You stretch out your hand and divide that sea." And watch this - when Moses did what he could do, God did what Moses couldn't. The Lord caused that sea to go back by a strong east wind all night long and made it dry land. The waters divided. The children of Israel walked through on dry ground with walls of water on their right and on their left.
PAYDAY FOR THE ENEMY
And then came payday for the enemy. God said, "I will get me honor upon Pharaoh." God didn't forget a thing. He didn't forget the firstborn babies. He didn't forget the beatings. He didn't forget the suffering. God said, "I'm ready to settle it." Vengeance is mine, I will repay. If your adversaries think they got away with what they did to you, they've got a rude awakening coming.
God set a trap for Pharaoh's army. He ripped the wheels off their chariots. He made it impossible for them to move. The waters returned and covered every last one of them. Not so much as one remained. No weapon formed against you shall prosper.
TODAY – NOT TOMORROW – YOU WIN
The Lord will fight for you. And today - not tomorrow, not next week, not next month - today you win, in the name of Jesus Christ, the Son of the living God.
Father, in the name of Jesus, I join my faith with every person reading this right now. The words You've spoken over their lives, God, let them see it fulfilled. Bring it to pass. You are not a man that You should lie. If You said it, You'll make it good. If You spoke it, You'll bring it to pass. Fight for Your people today. Let them see a change. Let them see a turnaround, in Jesus' name. Amen.
