And the LORD said to Moses, "Why
do you cry to Me? Tell the children
of Israel to go forward. 16 "But lift
up your rod, and stretch out your
hand over the sea and divide it.
And the children of Israel shall go
on dry ground through the midst
of the sea.,

Review of the concept of

Resistance is sure,
prepare
for
it
Ex 4:21 And the LORD said to Moses,
"When you go back to Egypt, see that
you do all those wonders before
Pharaoh which I have put in your hand.
But I will harden his heart, so that he will
not let the people go.
Ex 5:2 And Pharaoh said, "Who is the
LORD, that I should obey His voice to let
Israel go? I do not know the LORD, nor
will I let Israel go."

Resistance is sure,
prepare for it

Though it was the appointed time

for the advancement of Israel
from slavery, yet God told Moses
before hand that their
advancement would be resisted.
Pharaoh will not let go.

Resistance comes from

both behind and before
Pharaoh was behind Israel and Red
sea was before her.
Your old friends would not want
you to leave them in sin to become
saints and your discovery of those
who claim to be Christians but not
really may also discourage you
from crossing over.

You have left Egypt,

advance in Christ Jesus

Lu 9:62 But Jesus said to him,

"No one, having put his hand to
the plow, and looking back, is
fit for the kingdom of God.
You have decided for Christ,
you cant go back now because
Pharaoh aims to destroy you.
10

Never consider your

old
ways
If you must advance in Christ Jesus
you must avoid thinking about
your old ways or thinking that
there could be any good on the
other side.
The sea of life are challenges of
life and the gathering of the spirits
against your advancement.
11

Sea is the gathering of

waters (Gen. 1:10) and
water
mean
spirit
John 4: 10 Jesus answered and said to her, "If you
knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to
you, 'Give Me a drink,' you would have asked Him,
and He would have given you living water.
13 Jesus answered and said to her, "Whoever
drinks of this water will thirst again, 14 "but
whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him
will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him
will become in him a fountain of water springing
up into everlasting life."
