Scripture: Exodus 14:13 (NLT)
But Moses told the people, “Don’t be afraid. Just stand still and watch the LORD rescue you today. The Egyptians you see today will never be seen again.
Many of us can attest to God rescuing us from ___________. You can fill in the blank. And after rescuing us, He then redeems us for the purpose of restoring EVERYTHING the enemy THOUGHT he stole from us.
We are all at various levels of the process from being rescued to being restored. And what God has for us is too big to remain in bondage. What's in us CANNOT DIE IN EGYPT. In other words, we cannot remain in Egypt (mentally, physically, spiritually) and expect our purpose to flourish. The Egyptians (enemies) the Israelites saw on the other side of the Red Sea, God told them if they would only stand still and watch (LEAN IN AND TRUST HIM), He would annihilate their enemies ONCE AND FOR ALL.
Ladies, together we are going to meet, greet, and defeat (by God's power) whatever enemies we've been battling. It's EXODUS time.
