Introduction

Today, I want to share a prophetic message with you. If you feel trapped, like you've hit a wall, or if it seems like the enemy has the upper hand in your life, it's time to praise the Lord. This situation you're facing is actually a set up for God to bring about victory in your life.

Explanation

In Exodus 14, we find the story of the Israelites being pursued by Pharaoh and his army after being freed from slavery in Egypt. Pharaoh believed he had them trapped and saw this as an opportunity to bring them back under his control. The Israelites felt surrounded and hopeless.

But God had a different plan. He wanted to show His power and deliverance in a mighty way. He wanted to deal with the enemies that were plaguing the Israelites' lives. These enemies could be sickness, financial troubles, family strife, destructive people, or even personal addictions.

God wanted the Israelites to know that this day was their day for victory. He assured them not to fear but to stand still and witness His salvation. He promised that they would never see their enemies again.

Main Points

1. Recognize the Set Up: When you feel trapped and overwhelmed, remember that God is setting you up for a breakthrough. Your enemies may think they have you cornered, but God has a plan to turn the tables on them.

2. Enemies Becoming Elevators: Sometimes, our enemies unknowingly become instruments that propel us into our destiny. What the enemy meant for harm, God can use for our good. Thank your enemies for pushing you towards your purpose.

3. Don't Give Up: Even when it seems like everything is against you, remember that God didn't bring you this far to abandon you. He will fight your battles and bring you the victory you need. Don't lose hope on the edge of a miracle.

4. God Troubles Your Enemies: When your enemies think they have the upper hand, God steps in and troubles them. He confuses and frustrates them, causing them to turn against each other. God is fighting for you, and your enemies will flee from His presence.

5. Permanent Victory: God doesn't just want to give you temporary relief or make your enemies run away. He wants to give you permanent victory. He will completely overthrow your enemies, leaving no trace of their influence in your life.

Conclusion

Today is the day for your victory. God has been setting you up for a takedown of your enemies. While you praise Him, He is working on your behalf. He is troubling your enemies, taking away their power, and ultimately bringing them down. This is your moment for a turnaround.

So, let us praise God with all our hearts, knowing that He is fighting our battles. As we praise Him, our enemies will be defeated, and we will experience the permanent victory that God has prepared for us.

Remember, it's a set up for a takedown.
