Here there BCU Family!
I typically record our content in an informal “podcast on the go” format. Many times, the Lord gives me subject matter as I am driving or waiting, so I record on the spot! You can access the podcast here, or click on the avatar below, as you refer to the show notes below for the highlights. We pray the content blesses and encourages you. If so, please thumbs up AND leave a comment! Thank you and enjoy the podcast!
Podcast highlights:
- In this post, a family member contacted me to celebrate a “small” testimony of God’s goodness.
- The Lord led me to let family know that the blessing was “Red Sea moment.”
- A “Red Sea moment” is when God makes a way or blesses us, which is basically all the time.
KJV Scripture References
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.
Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the Lord, and spake, saying, I will sing unto the Lord, for he hath triumphed gloriously: the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.
2 The Lord is my strength and song, and he is become my salvation: he is my God, and I will prepare him an habitation; my father’s God, and I will exalt him.
In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
Acts 17:28(a)
For in him we live, and move, and have our being…
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
BCUFam, very often we categorize what God does into “small” (someone paying for a meal), or “big blessings” (walking away from an accident unharmed), when ALL of the ways God provides and takes care of us are Red Sea moments. Being able to pay a bill, think and reason, breathing, being in our right minds, the assistance that God provides for those who need it—-all of that is the Lord’s doing, so He deserves praise!
And most of all, it is a BLESSING to have the Holy Ghost! When I was tarrying, the adversary was trying to discourage me from being filled, by telling me all I would be missing out on. The Lord used a beautiful woman of God (Mother Mary Cross), to keep me focused on Jesus, and He filled me with His Spirit—I spoke in tongues (the initial evidence) and have been running for Jesus ever since! If you have Jesus on the inside, that’s definitely a “Red Sea” moment to give God praise for! Amen? Amen! Let’s pray!
Father, in the name of Jesus, we thank You for this conversation and encouraging our hearts today to continue to look up to You, for our faith and trust is in You, Jesus. We thank You for everything You have allowed us to go through, even though we may not always understand, or are going through a season of difficulty, and yet we give You thanks and praise, because this is Your will concerning us. We ask that You will strengthen, bless and encourage Your people today, Jesus. Please remind those of us going through that You see us, are right by our side, and will take care of and sustain us. We thank You for the victory and every Red Sea blessing You have bestowed on us! Also, because it is Your will that none should perish, but all would come to repentance, we ask You to move on the hearts of and save those who do not know You in pardoning of their sins. In the name of Jesus Christ, we pray and thank You, Amen!
