Exe 14:28-30
After four hundred years of slavery, bondage, oppression God sends a deliver named Moses to the children of Israel.
After visiting Egypt with nine plagues, Pharaoh thrust out the children of Israel. They spoil the Egyptians, and take their gold, silver, and precious jewels.
Then after reconsidering, Pharaoh regrets letting Israel go. He desires to bring them back under his hand, to reclaim his slaves. So he pursues after them with 600 of his chosen Chariots, captains over every one of them.
Exodus 14: 13-14
and Moses said unto the people, fear you not, stand still and see the salvation of the Lord, which she will show to you today. For the Gyptian room you have seen today, you shall see them again no more forever. For the Lord shall fight for you and you shall hold your peace.
After four hundred years as slaves, Israel comes out of the iron furnace of bondage, thinking that it was over.
They thought that chapter of their lives was over.
That they would never again feel the sting of the taskmasters whip up on their backs.
That they would never again suffer under the oppression of the iron hand of the dictator over their lives.
but Pharaoh didn't want it to end. Pharoah wanted them back under his dominion.
How many know (The devil doesn't let go easy? The devil doesn't want to give up any territory)
But today he's losing the fight:
I didn't just come here today just to preach, but I came to prophesy. I came to decree and declare an end to the Devils work in your lives.
The prophetic word shifts things. The prophetic word changes seasons. The prophetic word brings things to life and brings things to death. The prophetic word creates a beginning and it also establishes an end. God sent me here with this prophetic words to create and established today as the end.
Many of you today are going to reach the end.
I don't know what it is in your life that has been trying to destroy you. I don't know if its physical, or spiritual, or emotionally, or financially, or if its a relational.
But here's what God says about it.
Nahum 1:9 What do you imagine against the Lord? He will make an utter end, affliction shall not rise up the second time.
How many times have we faced situations and circumstances and problems in our lives and wished we could just put a. And move on. How many times have you wished you could just say the end and it would be over.
How many times have you looked at the mountains and trials and Giants in your life and heard the devil say, its always going to be like this.
Then the devil says, you might as well just accept it.
Then he says, it'll be easier on you if you just learn to live with it.
There's something about us that when our normal is interrupted there is an immediate resistance and we fight against it. But when the situation or problem continues over a period of time then we tend to lose our fight and ultimately accept our condition our situation our problem as the new normal.
But I came to stir up the fight in you.
I came to wake up the anointing in you.
I came to wake up the rebel in you.
I came to stir up a rebellion against everything that is contrary to the Word of God in your life.
I don't care how long its existed, or how long you have been plagued by it, or how long you have suffered from it. If it is contrary to the Word of God, its not normal.
You may have learned how to coexist with it. You may have your nitroglycerin tablets. You may have your arthritis medicine. You may have your insulin. You may have your valiums and Prozac. You may have your nicotine and nicorette gum, and all these things may help you deal with and get along with your problem, but it is not normal.
cancer is not normal, sugar diabetes and heart trouble is not normal, kidney problems, liver problems, asthma, is not normal. Arthritis is not normal. Strife and division in your marriage is not normal. Always struggling to pay your bills, living under a burden of debt, is not normal.
There may be a history of cancer or heart trouble or diabetes in your family, and the doctor might say it's in your blood line. But its not normal and you have a new blood line and a new DNA 2nd Corinthians 5:17 if any man be in Christ he is a new creature old things are passed away behold all things are become new
you may look at your family tree and see alcoholics and drug addicts and wife beaters.
But its not normal you have a new family tree, Jesus is the vine and we are the branches.
There may be homosexual and lesbians in your family line.
But its not normal
what are you trying to do preacher. I'm trying to start a rebellion, an uprising, a revolt against anything and everything that is less than God's will for your life.
There will never be a change until you recognize what is abnormal and out-of-order and you rebel against it.
And you will never rebel against what is abnormal and out-of-order until you are convinced of Gods normal and God's divine order for your life.
Sickness cannot be normal when Jesus took 39 stripes to deliver us from it.
Poverty and lack cannot be normal, when God says, I will make you the lender and not the borrower, above only and not beneath, the head and not the tail.
Fighting and arguing and bickering can't be normal for marriage, because our marriages are supposed to be mirror images of the churches relationship to Jesus Christ.
People are supposed to be able to look at our marriages and see how much Christ loves the church and the church loves her Christ.
Living under a yoke of fear and anxiety and worry and stress, can't be normal because the Bible says, God has not given us a spirit of fear but of power and of love and of a sound mind 2nd Timothy 1:7
I can feel a Holy Ghost rebellion beginning to rise up in this place. I can feel a fight coming back in somebody's spirit.
I can feel a holy indignation, and righteous anger, rising up against the devil and his lies.
I don't know who I'm talking to, but somebody is making up your mind right now, that the devil has pushed you around long enough, and now you're the one who's going to do the pushing.
I hear God saying, the Kingdom of Heaven suffereth violence and the violent take it by force.
I hear the Holy Ghost saying, upon this rock I will build my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
I hear the spirit saying, behold I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
I came to this house with this word in my spirit
God said, prophesy and tell my people.
The End
God said to prophesy that he is getting ready to put a period At the end of a long hard battle.
God said to prophesy,
its over. The end
God said to tell you quit looking for those old familiar enemies, because you're not going to see them anymore.
Some of you going to feel like David when he said. We were like them that dreamed when the Lord turned our captivity, then was our mouth filled with laughter.
What God is getting ready to in some of your lives today is going to be so awesome that you are going to feel like your dreaming.
He's drowning your enemies.
they're going down right now.
Sickness and diseases going down. Addictions and bondages are going down. Depression is going down.
Poverty and lack is going down.
Marriage problems are going down.
Worry and stress are going down.
You say what do I have to do.
Here's what God says for you to do. Stand still and see the salvation of the Lord that He will show you today, for the Egyptians which you have seen today you shall see them again no more forever. In other words God is saying, just stand over there and watch me work, and while you're praising me, I'll take care of business.
Has anybody got enough faith to just stand still and praise God while he works?
The more you praise Him the bigger he gets.
The more you praise and the harder you work.
The more you praise Him the more power is released.
The more you praise Him the more confused the enemy gets.
The more you praise Him the more faith will rise up in you.
The more you praise Him the more joy will rise up in you.
While Moses hands were raised on the mountain, Joshua won the battle in the valley. While your hands and voices are raised in praise, God is fighting your battle.
There are some things God expects us to do and requires us to do. He requires us to read his word and learn his will. He requires us to believe His Word and confess his word as truth.
But when you have done everything you can do, when you prayed, you fasted, you confess the word, you rebuke the devil, you plead the blood, and you shouted the name of Jesus.
Then God says, I'll take it from here.
You stretch out the rod, I'll divide the Red Sea.
You walk around the walls and shout, I'll knock em down.
You stand on my words, I'll rebuke the cancer.
You prophesy to the wind, I'll make the dry bones live again.
You sow your seed, I'll bring the harvest.
You stand still and praise me, I'll lose your bands, I'll open the prison doors.
I know I'm talking to some people like the children of Israel in our text. You feel like the enemy has the upper hand. You feel like you've been backed into a corner, your backs against the wall, you feel trapped. You can't go forward and cant go back.
Up until now you have been able to slip by, and struggle through, in the past you fought your way out. You've been hanging on to a thread of hope that someday someway somehow, It was going to get better, it was somehow going to work itself out.
But now the truth is, you have reached the place of desperation, You can no longer see your way out, you can no longer figure out how it could ever change. You can no longer see the light at the end of the tunnel. It looks hopeless there is no relief in sight no hope in sight.
This may not make sense to you, but this is a great place to be, because now you're ready to shift into the faith dimension.
God led them into a trap:
Why?
#1 He removed every dependance upon what they could see, feel, or hear, to show them how to walk by faith and not by sight. To show them this is the victory that overcometh the world even our faith.
To show them the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds.
To show them no weapon formed against us shall prosper.
#2 God purposely led them into a trap to draw out their enemies. When your enemy thinks that you are trapped that you are helpless that you are down and can't get up, they become very brave and expose themselves to come in for the kill.
#3 God purposely led them into a trap to bring an end to their enemies. It was a set up for a take down.
God said, today I am going to put a period and an end to this chapter of your life.
This enemy that has oppressed you, abused you, has persecuted you, and made your life miserable. This enemy that has cheated you, and stoled from you, this enemy that has made slaves out of you and your children, and tried to destroy your destiny, but today is the end.
I'm prophesying to somebody today.
God said to tell you this is the end.
To an ugly chapter in your life. This is the end to a lot of grief and pain and misery. This is the end to a lot of guilt and shame.
This is the end to a sickness that's been trying to take your life.
This is the end of running from your past.
This is the end of struggling under a heavy burden of debt.
This is the end of living in fear of what other people think and say about you.
This is the end of being manipulated, intimidated, and dominated, by your circumstances and the opinions of others.
This is the end of slavery to a habit or addiction.
And when they looked the next morning they saw the Egyptians dead upon the shore. Not one of them escaped.
I know it may sound impossible to you, but God wants to give you a complete victory.
We've gotten used to temporary partial victory, but God wants to give you complete permanent victory.
The Lord will make an utter and total absolute end, this affliction will not rise up the second time.
today is your day for a complete and permanent victory.
Today is your day to say goodbye once and for all to those enemies that plagued your life that have made your life miserable that have been stealing your joy your peace your anointing.
We're not all fighting the same battles here today, we don't all have the same issues.
9
But We all have enemies that have been sent to steal kill and destroy.
But today is your day to look up on the shore and see your enemy removed from your life forever.
The end
