Brethren, our message this past Sunday was "Go Forward" the text was taken from where the Israelites where on the run from Pharaoh.
Exo 14:8 And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued after the children of Israel: and the children of Israel went out with a high hand.
Exo 14:9 But the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them encamping by the sea, beside Pi-hahiroth, before Baal-zephon.
Exo 14:10 And when Pharaoh drew nigh, the children of Israel lifted up their eyes, and, behold, the Egyptians marched after them; and they were sore afraid: and the children of Israel cried out unto the LORD.
Exo 14:11 And they said unto Moses, Because there were no graves in Egypt, hast thou taken us away to die in the wilderness? wherefore hast thou dealt thus with us, to carry us forth out of Egypt?
Exo 14:12 Is not this the word that we did tell thee in Egypt, saying, Let us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians? For it had been better for us to serve the Egyptians, than that we should die in the wilderness.
Who hardened Pharoahs heart? The Lord. Sometimes what the Lord is doing stirs up the enemie to pursue after us, but the Lord's intent is to turn what should have been the end for the Iraelies into a deliverence for the Israelites, and a Graveyard for the enemies.
Where did the Egyptians catch up to them?
Between a rock and a hard place-literally!
Exo 14:13 And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will show to you today: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen today, ye shall see them again no more forever.
Exo 14:14 The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.
Exo 14:15 And the LORD said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward:
What was the command from Moses?
1. Fear Not!
2. Stand ye still.
3. See the Salvation of the Lord.
4. The Lord will fight for you.
5. Ye shall hold your peace!
I know what it's like to be where you are. When I got into prayer today, from the moment I bowed my head in prayer, until prayer was over, I wept, with some heavy burdens.
God is still good.
He knows where we are, and he knows the way that I take!
Hmmm, where have I heard that before? Thanks rrford.
Praying for you all.
God Bless!
