THE RED SEA...WHAT NOW?

THE RED SEA...WHAT NOW?

When I give direction it is always in part, because I know the nature of man. Man will alway yield to the temptation and attempt to complete in the flesh what I began in the Spirit. The soul hates being led around by the Spirit therefore it will repeatedly try to assume leadership with carnal knowledge. 

Faith slowly transforms into assumption and leads the well meaning saint off on a tangent. For this reason I will only give the vision in part. Mature leaders will understand and patiently wait on Me for the revelation of each part and move only under My direction. Immature leaders will shipwreck along with their innocent followers, moving under  assumption. Maturity usually comes after many shipwrecks, however time will no longer allow for the salvage of shipwrecks. My mercy endures forever but your time does not. 

I gave Moses the leadership of millions of My people. I told him to lead My people out, I gave him no further instruction. The pressure on his flesh on the shore of the Red Sea was beyond comprehension. The destiny of millions was totally in his hands with sure death in front and fast closing in behind. The only answer was total abandonment to My further leading. There was no allowance for any assumption except that everybody is about to die. 

Instructions for step two came only after step one was complete. Moses soul was completely abandon because the the feat needed was far beyond any assumptions of his mind, will or emotions. Moses had to rely  one hundred percent on his experience with Me. In our private talks he became familiar with voice, so that when death was staring him in the face he simply said, " what now"? 

With no time to analyze and millions of panic stricken people, facing sure annihilation, accusing him of genocide, yelling, "now what Moses", unbelievable pressure was put on his spirit man. Because of his time alone with Me, his spirit could more than withstand the pressure and paid great dividends in the time of need. Deliverance came out of intimacy. 

In your time of intimacy with Me you have asked, "what next", however you have not yet arrived at the sea. The enemy is not moved in place, for the kill. With traces of worry in their eyes, the people are just now beginning to ask for answers. You will be so glad for the many hours of intimacy with Me. Those who have stayed in the closet with Me will be equipped to lead the moment step number one is complete.

The time will come when, the Spirit, soul and body are in proper order, and leadership is in order and the body is fitly framed together, and step one will be complete. I will then part the sea on a daily basis and confound the enemy at every turn. I will sit in the heavens and laugh at his confusion. My triumphant church will put to flight the enemy without firing a single carnal weapon. Stay in the closet with Me, you will be glad for every moment, when the time comes, to ask,"WHAT NOW"? 

Galatians 3:3-4 (AMP)
Are you so foolish and so senseless and so silly? Having begun your new life spiritually with the Holy Spirit, are you now reaching perfection by dependence on the flesh? [4] Have you suffered so many things and experienced so much all for nothing (to no purpose)--if it really is to no purpose and in vain?

Romans 8:6-10 (AMP)
Now the mind of the flesh which is sense and reason without the Holy Spirit is death death that comprises all the miseries arising from sin, both here and hereafter. But the mind of the Holy Spirit is life and soul peace both now and forever. [7] That is because the mind of the flesh with its carnal thoughts and purposes is hostile to God, for it does not submit itself to God''s Law; indeed it cannot. [8] So then those who are living the life of the flesh catering to the appetites and impulses of their carnal nature cannot please or satisfy God, or be acceptable to Him. [9] But you are not living the life of the flesh, you are living the life of the Spirit, if the Holy Spirit of God really dwells within you directs and controls you. But if anyone does not possess the Holy Spirit of Christ, he is none of His he does not belong to Christ, is not truly a child of God. [10] But if Christ lives in you, then although your natural body is dead by reason of sin and guilt, the spirit is alive because of the righteousness that He imputes to you.

Exodus 3:4-10 (AMP)
And when the Lord saw that he turned aside to see, God called to him out of the midst of the bush and said, Moses, Moses! And he said, Here am I. [5] God said, Do not come near; put your shoes off your feet, for the place on which you stand is holy ground. [6] Also He said, I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look at God. [7] And the Lord said, I have surely seen the affliction of My people who are in Egypt, and have heard their cry because of their taskmasters and oppressors; for I know their sorrows and sufferings and trials. [8] And I have come down to deliver them out of the hand and power of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land to a land good and large, a land flowing with milk and honey a land of plenty--to the place of the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Amorite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite. [9] Now behold, the cry of the Israelites has come to Me, and I have also seen how the Egyptians oppress them. [10] Come now therefore, and I will send you to Pharaoh, that you may bring forth My people, the Israelites, out of Egypt.

Exodus 14:9-31 (KJV)
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. [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 . [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? [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. [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. [15] And the Lord said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward: [16] But lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thine hand over the sea, and divide it: and the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea. [17] And I, behold, I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they shall follow them: and I will get me honour upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen. [18] And the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord , when I have gotten me honour upon Pharaoh, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen. [19] And the angel of God, which went before the camp of Israel, removed and went behind them; and the pillar of the cloud went from before their face, and stood behind them: [20] And it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel; and it was a cloud and darkness to them , but it gave light by night to these : so that the one came not near the other all the night. [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. [24] And it came to pass, that in the morning watch the Lord looked unto the host of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of the cloud, and troubled the host of the Egyptians, [25] And took off their chariot wheels, that they drave them heavily: so that the Egyptians said, Let us flee from the face of Israel; for the Lord fighteth for them against the Egyptians. [26] And the Lord said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand over the sea, that the waters may come again upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon their horsemen. [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. [29] But the children of Israel walked upon dry land in the midst of the sea; and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left. [30] Thus the Lord saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the sea shore. [31] And Israel saw that great work which the Lord did upon the Egyptians: and the people feared the Lord , and believed the Lord , and his servant Moses.

Daniel 11:31-35 (AMP)
And armed forces of his shall appear in the holy land and they shall pollute the sanctuary, the spiritual stronghold, and shall take away the continual daily burnt offering; and they shall set up in the sanctuary the abomination that astonishes and makes desolate probably an altar to a pagan god. [32] And such as violate the covenant he shall pervert and seduce with flatteries, but the people who know their God shall prove themselves strong and shall stand firm and do exploits for God. [33] And they who are wise and understanding among the people shall instruct many and make them understand, though some of them and their followers shall fall by the sword and flame, by captivity and plunder, for many days. [34] Now when they fall, they shall receive a little help. Many shall join themselves to them with flatteries and hypocrisies. [35] And some of those who are wise, prudent, and understanding shall be weakened and fall, thus, then, the insincere among the people will lose courage and become deserters. It will be a test to refine, to purify, and to make those among God''s people white, even to the time of the end, because it is yet for the time God appointed.

Psalm 2:1-12 (KJV)
Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? [2] The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord , and against his anointed, saying , [3] Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. [4] He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision. [5] Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure. [6] Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion. [7] I will declare the decree: the Lord hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee. [8] Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession. [9] Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel. [10] Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth. [11] Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling. [12] Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.

Ephesians 4:11-13 (KJV)
And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; [12] For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: [13] Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:

Romans 8:33-39 (KJV)
Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth. [34] Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. [35] Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? [36] As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. [37] Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. [38] For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, [39] Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
