Mary Did You Know?: Part 1 || Day 4

Exodus 15:1-21 NLT

Then Moses and the people of Israel sang this song to the Lord: “I will sing to the Lord, for he has triumphed gloriously; he has hurled both horse and rider into the sea. The Lord is my strength and my song; he has given me victory. This is my God, and I will praise him— my father’s God, and I will exalt him! The Lord is a warrior; Yahweh is his name! Pharaoh’s chariots and army he has hurled into the sea. The finest of Pharaoh’s officers are drowned in the Red Sea. The deep waters gushed over them; they sank to the bottom like a stone. “Your right hand, O Lord, is glorious in power. Your right hand, O Lord, smashes the enemy. In the greatness of your majesty, you overthrow those who rise against you. You unleash your blazing fury; it consumes them like straw. At the blast of your breath, the waters piled up! The surging waters stood straight like a wall; in the heart of the sea the deep waters became hard. “The enemy boasted, ‘I will chase them and catch up with them. I will plunder them and consume them. I will flash my sword; my powerful hand will destroy them.’ But you blew with your breath, and the sea covered them. They sank like lead in the mighty waters. “Who is like you among the gods, O Lord— glorious in holiness, awesome in splendor, performing great wonders? You raised your right hand, and the earth swallowed our enemies. “With your unfailing love you lead the people you have redeemed. In your might, you guide them to your sacred home. The peoples hear and tremble; anguish grips those who live in Philistia. The leaders of Edom are terrified; the nobles of Moab tremble. All who live in Canaan melt away; terror and dread fall upon them. The power of your arm makes them lifeless as stone until your people pass by, O Lord, until the people you purchased pass by. You will bring them in and plant them on your own mountain— the place, O Lord, reserved for your own dwelling, the sanctuary, O Lord, that your hands have established. The Lord will reign forever and ever!” When Pharaoh’s horses, chariots, and charioteers rushed into the sea, the Lord brought the water crashing down on them. But the people of Israel had walked through the middle of the sea on dry ground! Then Miriam the prophet, Aaron’s sister, took a tambourine and led all the women as they played their tambourines and danced. And Miriam sang this song: “Sing to the Lord, for he has triumphed gloriously; he has hurled both horse and rider into the sea.”

Miriam and the children of Israel gave God praise for what He did for them. Church, what they were praising God for is what we are going to be praising God for. There are things that they gave God praise for that day that must be brought to our attention.

They praised Him for the angelic help and protection that was with them.

In Exodus chapter 14 the Bible tells us that as the Egyptians approached the Israelites that the angel of God that had been leading them moved to the rear of the camp. And the pillar of cloud settled between the Egyptians and Israelites. As darkness fell the cloud turned to fire, lighting up the night. Therefore, the Egyptians and Israelites didn’t approach each other all night. In other words, God came and stood between them and their enemy.

What are we saying right now? I’m telling you that we are stepping into a time when the Lord has His eyes on you, and your enemy, at the same time. His eyes are on you to help you, and His eyes are on the enemy to frustrate him and take him out. I’m telling you that God is standing between you and what is trying to take you out. He’s standing between you and what is trying to keep you from fulfilling your God given destiny.

The Bible tells us in Hebrews 1:14, “Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister for those who will inherit salvation?”

Psalm 103:20 says, “Bless the Lord, you His angels, who excel in strength, who do His word, heeding the voice of His word.

Church, I’ve come to tell You that we are in a time right now where you ought to expect angelic participation. We are in a season where you ought to count on angelic help in problems that are coming against your life. You ought to expect angelic protection and provision for what God has declared over your life.

Therefore, don’t be shocked when your enemy’s wheels start falling off of their chariots. Don’t be shocked when the enemies of the Lord can’t understand what they are saying to each other. Don’t be shocked when they start turning on each other and taking each other out. Don’t be shocked if they start sinking on the same ground you crossed over. This is the time and the season of angelic help from Heaven.
