ARE YOU FACING
A PERSISTENT 'ENEMY'?
Failing health?
Financial problems?
Family crisis?
Career crunch?

TAKE COURAGE FROM THIS DRAMATIC ESCAPE
1. THE PRESSURE OF PUSUIT: "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"

2. THE TORMENTING FEAR: "the children of Israel lifted up their eyes, and, behold, the Egyptians marched after them; and they were sore afraid."

3. ASKING FOR "GODS" HELP? "the children of Israel cried out unto the Lord."

4. THE TENDENCY TO COMPLAIN: "hast thou taken us away to die in the wilderness? wherefore hast thou dealt thus with us, to carry us forth out of Egypt?"

5. BLAMING SHIFTING?: "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."

6. A GODLY EXAMPLE: "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"

7. AN ENCOURAGING WORD: "the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever. The Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace."

8. GOD INTERVENES: "the Lord said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward: 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. And I, behold, I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they shall follow them"

9. 'MIRACULOUS ACTIVITY': "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 • 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. 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.

10. HOW GOD 'HANDLED THE ENEMY': "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, And took off their chariot wheels, that they drave them heavily • 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 • 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.

11. THE OUTCOME: "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. Thus the Lord saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians"

Our prayer is that you will realize
how much He cares for you and that He will make a way of escape for you when you trust Him.
