When Pharoah and the Egyptians approached the children of Israel at the Red Sea, the Israelites cried, “Why did you bring us out here to die in the wilderness? Weren’t there enough graves for us in Egypt? What have you done to us? Why did you make us leave Egypt?” Exodus 14:10-11 NLTAs Moses cried out to the Lord, the Lord answered, “Why are you crying out to Me? Tell the people to get moving! …Pick up your staff and raise your hand over the sea. Divide the water so the Israelites can walk through the middle of the sea on dry ground,””  Exodus 14:15-16.  Moses’ staff represented the authority of God. In fact, it was called the “Staff of God” in Exodus 4:20.  When Moses used the authority God had given him, God was able to divide the Red Sea.  The Red Sea that the children of Israel walked through on dry ground was the same Red Sea their enemy drowned in.And look what the children of Israel said once they were on the other side of the sea.  Exodus 15:12-13, “You raised Your right hand, and theearth swallowed our enemies.  With Your unfailing love You lead the people You have redeemed.”  But it didn’t just happen because God issovereign.  It happened because Moses interceded for the people.  Moses used his God given authority and opened the door for God to move on their behalf.  In difficult situations, many people pray, “God, You have to do something!  Move that mountain!  Resist the devil for me. Kill that giant!  Calm that storm!”  But I wonder if God answers in the same manner that He answered Moses, “Why are you crying out to Me? You have the authority I gave you through Jesus’ name! I watch over My Word to perform it!  Speak My Word and get moving!”#thegatheringwithronandcarriewebb, #thegathering, #sovereignty, #sovereigntyofgod, #prayer, #confidenceinprayer, #jesusgaveyouhisauthority, #authorityofthebeliever, #roncarriewebb, #ronandcarriewebb, #thegatheringbiblestudy,The Gathering, Sept 6, 2025
