Moses said "...See the salvation of the Lord which He will work for you today." The best way to set yourself up for success is to start to imagine or picture your victory. This practice of imagining your victory is something almost every professional athlete takes advantage of. Olympians that train for months and years to compete, practice seeing themselves crossing the finish line first and winning the gold. God gave us our imagination. When you allow Him to inspire your imagination you rise to a level of dreaming with God, allowing Him to show you what He wants to do in and through your life.
In order to live in victory you have to believe you are victorious and picture yourself walking in victory.
Moses then said, "... For the Egyptians you have seen today you shall never see again."
The next step to moving forward in your victory is to position yourself by aligning your life with God's word and declaring it over your life.
"The Lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace and remain at rest."
What does that mean? It means in order to take your position of standing strong in His promises you must stay in peace."...and you shall hold your peace and remain at rest."
Choose the peace that passes all understanding and choose to remain at rest.
When peace is absent in our lives, chaos builds its home. You have to be proactive in choosing your peace, even in the midst of adverse situations.
"The Lord said to Moses, ‘Why do you cry to Me’? Tell the people of Israel to go forward!
Lift up your rod and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it, and the Israelites shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea."
We've learned the a few keys to kingdom victory, this last point is one of the most crucial.
We must take action! So far we've positioned ourselves for success. We've imagined ourselves walking in success and in freedom, we've chosen peace and remained at rest. Now we're ready.
We have to stretch out our hands and walk through to the other side.
You see, everything we just accomplished in the previous steps is of zero importance unless we are willing to take action on our faith. We have to walk into our victory.
The Israelites weren't driven through the Red Sea, they chose to put one foot in front of the other and act on what they believed. They walked through the Red Sea and over into their freedom and prosperity.
What were our steps for victory?
1.) Fear not.
2.) Stand firm and undismayed.
3.) See our salvation and imagine ourselves in victory.
5.) Choose peace and remain in rest.
6.) Take action!
You were made for greatness! You have the Greater One, the Holy Spirit on the inside and nothing is impossible for those who believe!
I call you blessed!
