Chaos happens. Chaos often surprises us, especially when things seem to be going well . . . one thing occurs and order disappears.
How does chaos occur so quickly when we think everything is under control?
Look
at the story of the Egyptians who went after the Israelites in full
pursuit. It is clear how chaos occurred in their story. The Egyptians, the Israelites’ former oppressors, were
stronger and had more resources than the former slaves. Things were going really well for them; they were on top of their game. Even so, their lives ended in chaotic havoc.
How did the powerful Egyptians lose control over the weak Israelites? How did their elite and organized system plummet into the deep waters of the Red Sea?
Everything seemed to go
wrong for the Egyptians when they attempted to cross the Red Sea . . .
they lost control . . . chaos occurred. In reality, everything went
wrong long before they entered the Red Sea . . . chaos was set into
motion when the Egyptians went their own way rather than God’s way.
God had told them over and over to let the people go . . . what would
have happened if they would have trusted God and responded the way God asked? It is true, the slaves were the driving force of their economic status; however, trusting God would have created more than that nation could ever accomplished on their own.
But . . . they went their own way . . . trying to get back what was not theirs to have:
The
Egyptians came after them in full pursuit, every horse and chariot and
driver of Pharaoh racing into the middle of the sea. It was now the
morning watch. GOD looked down from the Pillar of Fire and Cloud on the
Egyptian army and threw them into a panic. He clogged the wheels of
their chariots; they were stuck in the mud.
The Egyptians said, "Run from Israel! GOD is fighting on their side and against Egypt!"
(Exodus 14: 22-25, The Message)
If
only, they would have turned to God for help rather than
trying with all of they had to stay in control. When we do it our way . . .
chaos enters in . . . and life goes sideways.
The
thing is . . . God promises to direct are paths when we trust him and
seek His will in all we do. There are no ifs, ands, or buts to this precept. God's Spirit will show us the path to take, making a miraculous dry
pathway in the Red Seas of life, providing opportunities that we would never imagine.
How is it possible when we were are faced with the Red Seas of Life?
We
are told to:
Trust in the Lord with all your heart;
do not depend on your own understanding.
Seek his will in all you do,
and he will show you which path to take. (Proverbs 3: 5,6, NLT)
So. We need to relinquish our own control and
1. Trust God with all of our heart, which includes trusting that God will not fail us..
2.
Broaden the view of our situation through the wisdom of God rather than
our own understanding, which requires us to walk down the pathway God
provides by faith not by sight.
3. Seek the will of God in absolutely everything, which means every step on the pathway.
Refuse to go down the pathway of chaos.
Trust God.
Seek God.
Follow the pathway God shows you to go on.

What Would We Miss If We Went Back?
God ordains healing change rather than living to sustain our life in status quo. We do not need to be swallowed up by the things of life but to persevere through faith that God has something more for us to experience. In the ancient days, the Israelites had to be willing to walk away from salvery going forward by faith. It began with prayer when they were lives were weighed down with the pain of oppression.
At the end of the day . . . prayer is the hinge of a healing change.
They prayed: The Israelites groaned in their slavery and cried out, and their cry for help because of their slavery went up to God. God heard their groaning and he remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac and with Jacob. So God looked on the Israelites and was concerned about them. (Exodus 2:23-25)
God answered, continually at work on behalf of the people: So the people of Israel walked through the sea on dry ground, with walls of water on each side! (Exodus 14: 22, NLT)
'The Israelites struggled with their future; however, they stayed the course, trusting God for complete deliverance.
What would have happened if they turned around and went back to Egypt?
We know they would have missed the way God had planned for them to go through the Red Sea on dry ground with walls of water on each side.
The walk of a lifetime would never have been a part of their reality had they not prayed and went the way God directed.
Once they prayed . . . even the atmosphere changed. . . as they asked God to shift the details of their life. It required a response . . . to leave the shore of the Red Sea and take a step . . . to experience a breakthrough from slavery.
What do we miss when we go back to things that oppress and enslave us?
The presence of God is more powerful than the pain that we encounter in this world. The suffering of the pain can be so great that we can't see that God is present. The thing is . . . God has a plan . . . before we were born . . . a plan to prosper and not to harm us . . . a dry pathway with the walls of water held high as we face the Red Seas of life. When we call out to God, He will shift the universe, answering in extraordinary ways.
Call out to God.
Experience the new way God has for you to go in healing and wholeness.

Red Seas of Life
Most of us have lived in difficult and challenging circumstances . . . which I call the Red Seas of Life . . the kind of things that are always on our mind. . . throughout the day . . . all through the night. The Red Seas of life relentlessly occupy our thoughts, emotions, and attitude. The thing that messes with most of us is that we are responsible for not letting the Red Seas of life to take the life out of us. And more than that . . . there is a time . . . a place . . . a moment . .. which does not make sense to those who do not know Christ . . . that will profoundly impact the world . . . when we respond with faith in Christ rather than . . . respond in fear to the Red Seas of life. The thing is. . . as a Christ Follower we have the duty and pleasure . . . to let the world see Christ in us . . . as we walk through the Red Seas of life . . . in faith that God will make a way.
I am the first to say the Red Seas of life that lie between me and faith can be so overwhelming that it seems impossible that God will make a way through the messiness of the problems, pressures, and challenges. Fear is an understandable and normal response when we face the Red Seas of life. But, fear is not of God.
In all honesty, I have experienced the Red Seas of life in two different ways. There have been the times that I have continued to have fear and other times I have had perfect peace with faith that Christ is . . . well. . . Christ. There is one difference in both scenarios: in the former I end up trying as much as possible not to have fear and in the latter, I have surrendered and laid all things down to Christ. There is a huge gap between trying and surrender.
As we look back into the ancient days, we are able to see that the struggle between fear and faith is an ongoing battle of humanity when the Red Sea is in front of us. Read the book of Exodus and study Moses. While we can skip ahead and then read the words to discover the outcome, Moses did not have that luxury.to know the future as he stood before the rushing waters of the Red Sea with the most powerful army charging behind him and the very fearful two million people in between. In that moment of time, Moses took a leap of faith to believe that God would part the waters when he simply raised his hand over the sea. Seriously. It would have been the ultimate exercise of faith: Then Moses raised his hand over the sea, and the LORD opened up a path through the water with a strong east wind. The wind blew all that night, turning the seabed into dry land. (Exodus 14: 21, NLT)
I am not sure anyone would really be prepared for the deliverance scene in Exodus. It had to be breathtakingly miraculous to see that as Moses raised his hand over the Red Sea. . . a path opened through the water . . . and to feel the strength of the east wind as it came up . . . blowing all night . . . like a gigantic blow dryer . . . until the bottom of the sea became dry land. The Israelites had perceived life through their experience of oppression; however, the parting waters of the Red Sea and its dry ground changed their perception of God, who was not somewhere far off, but, present, saving the people to fully experience freedom. Perception changes everything.
They came to that moment that they had to decide if they would respond in faith that God could and would make a way through the Red Sea:
2 Corinthians 3:17 is clear that true freedom in life is coming to the moments of life trusting the Spirit of God to not only provides the way but to be present, going through it with us : Now, the Lord is the Spirit, and wherever the Spirit of the Lord is, he gives freedom.
Whenever we experience the presence of God, we experience divine freedom. God always makes a way for humanity to experience freedom from the Red Sea of life . . . the problems, challenges, and messes in life. That said, freedom doesn’t make sense if we are immersed in fear of the Red Sea rather than focused on faith of Christ. Fear must be surrendered in order to get through the Red Sea of life..
Remember God always makes a way for us to be delivered from the pressures and power of problems and trials. He parts the Red Sea of life and blows the wind of His Spirit over us to make a way through whatever we are going through.
Do you want the Red Sea of Life to part?
Respond in faith.
Believe God will make a way.
Walk through the way God has planned for you . . . believe God will part the Red Seas of your life . . . and provide dry ground to walk in . . . as the Spirit moves in your circumstance.

LET THERE BE LIGHT!
Mornings have changed as summer has moved into fall . . . and we begin the day in darkness . . . but we know the light will come. Can you imagine living in the dark day and night without hope of the light coming?
God is the giver of light.
Those who follow God live in light. Those who are separated from God live in the darkness. The ancient day Exodus story encapsulates the steps of the journey we take either in the darkness or light. We freely choose to follow God, a choice that leads us in the light. The Exodus story contrasts the differences between two camps . . . light and dark . . . following God . . . or going our own way.
The cloud settled between the Israelite and Egyptian camps. As night came, the pillar of cloud turned into a pillar of fire, lighting the Israelite camp. But the cloud became darkness to the Egyptians, and they couldn't find the Israelites. (Exodus 14: 20, NLT)
The Egyptians were in the kind of darkness that nothing could be seen. They were chasing after what they wanted for themselves . . . their slaves. Their camp was completely dark. Imagine the fear and frustration of the Egyptians. Next door to the dark Egyptian camp, the Israelites’ camp was lit with the light of God. Two camps . . . side by side . . . light . . . dark . . . a picture of humanity. Light and dark separate our lives. Only God has the power to turn darkness into light. When we ask God to exchange Light for the darkness . . . we can know that His Word has been issued and will not be deterred . . . His word moves through time and space . . . LET THERE BE LIGHT! And there is light.
Declare the Word of God . . . in places of darkness. . . LET THERE BE LIGHT!
Intentionally think, speak, and act in the Light.
Remember living in the dark is purposeless, a waste of the gift of life.
Invite others to join you in the Light . . . to live in the light of the presence of God and say as the Psalmist said:
The LORD is my light and my salvation—
whom shall I fear?
The LORD is the stronghold of my life—
of whom shall I be afraid? (Psalm 27:1, TNIV)
God is our personal light and salvation.
Learning with you to Kick Start the day . . . agreeing with the Words of God. . . in every place . . . LET THERE BE LIGHT!

God is the giver of light.
Then God said, "LET THERE BE LIGHT!" and there was light.Have you ever been in the dark? The kind of dark without light . . . absolute darkness . . . pitch black . . . nothing can be seen . . . nothing. There are not only physical places in life that are dark but mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Loss, especially loss that we do not plan on, can create a place of darkness, whether it is loss of a relationship, health, finances, job, or something else that we count as vital.
And God saw that it was good. Then he separated the light from the darkness. (Genesis 1:3-4, NLT)

The Place of Freedom
Many would tell you that we are living in times of trials and heartaches. Even so, there are individuals that appear to be free of the impact of the challenges. You probably know at least one individual who seems to be thriving in these times. The thing is . . . it is possible . . . to live free of pressures and problems in difficult places of living. The key to living in any place at any time is to intentionally break free of whatever oppresses us through the power of God. Regardless of how tough it seems, God will take us to the place of absolute freedom.
In the ancient days, God not only planned for the people to get out of the place of bondage but to enter a place of promised freedom. So. God led the people: Then the angel of God, who had been leading the people of Israel,moved to the rear of the camp. The pillar of cloud also moved from the front and stood behind them. (Exodus 14: 19, NLT) God will free us from bondage, allowing to experience the divine gift of the fullness of freedom.
The activity of God is revealed in Exodus 14 . . . God is always at work on our behalf . . . but . . . God is often missed. We must make a decision to have faith in God's continual work. There is freedom from the power of circumstances when we have faith that God is present and continually at work rather than somewhere far away. We are often our own greatest obstacle to getting to the place of complete freedom. Unbelief is the most common reason. But, God will empower us to believe if we ask.
Go to the place of freedom.
Confess your need of God as the Psalmist did: God, investigate my life; get all the facts firsthand.
I'm an open book to you;
even from a distance, you know what I'm thinking.
You know when I leave and when I get back;
I'm never out of your sight.
You know everything I'm going to say
before I start the first sentence.
I look behind me and you're there,
then up ahead and you're there, too—
your reassuring presence, coming and going.
This is too much, too wonderful—
I can't take it all in! (Psalm 139: 1-6, The Message).
Ask God to take you to the place of freedom.
Go where God says to go.
Experience freedom.

Success
When we ignore Christ, we live in defeat. A lasting successful life
can only be found through Christ. In the ancient days, Egypt had
unbelievable great power and wealth at the expense of their slaves.
Their success was measured by what they had and what they did rather
than by who they were. If, we aren't careful, we will evaluate our
life by those same standards. Success based on what we have and do
never lasts
At the end of the day, the power of God usurped the great power and wealth of the Egyptians: "When I defeat the king, his chariot drivers, and chariots, the Egyptians will know that I am the LORD." (Exodus 14: 18, NCV)
The thing is . . . they lost before they got started . . . life without God . . . is not life . . . regardless of how others see it. Jesus came to free us of the thoughts that draw us away from living a true successful life. So. We need to have a different mindset as Romans 12:2 says: And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect. (NASB)
It is important to remember that we have to work on our thought life on a daily basis. Our thoughts direct the way we live our life. The way we think of success. . . is the way we live successfully. What forms your thoughts of success?
God wants to transform our thoughts so we can live the way we are created to live successfully in Christ.
Evaluate how your thoughts of success conform to this world.
Meditate on the word, conform (suschematizo, Greek) which means to conform to a specific pattern.
Ask the Spirit of God to transform the way you think about success.
