INTRODUCTION:

Revival is not a meeting — it’s a movement. And every true move of God starts when someone decides I will not die in this place!

Some of you have been camped at the Red Sea of your life too long — paralyzed by fear, chained by past hurts, boxed in by your circumstances. But today, God says: It’s time to move!

Let’s walk through this word and see what happens when heaven speaks, and faith moves.

I. TRAPPED FOR A REASON (Exodus 14:1-9)

A. God Set the Trap

• “Turn and encamp before Pi-hahiroth… by the sea.” (v.2)

• God orchestrated the trap — not to kill them, but to kill their enemy.

• Revival sometimes requires a cornering moment.

B. Hell Will Always Pursue Deliverance

• “And Pharaoh made ready his chariot...” (v.6)

• Hell doesn’t give up easily — it fights hardest when you’re on the verge of crossing over.

C. God Wants Glory in Your Trouble

• “I will be honoured upon Pharaoh...” (v.4)

• Your trial is the staging ground for your breakthrough.

Preaching Moment:
Some of you are one Red Sea away from your testimony!

II. FEAR HAS A VOICE (Exodus 14:10-12)

A. The Spirit of Complaint

• “Did you bring us out here to die?” (v.11)

• Fear makes you question your deliverer.

B. The Lie of the Past

• “It was better for us in Egypt…” (v.12)

• Egypt always looks good when you’re under pressure.

Preaching Moment:
Stop glorifying your old life — there’s no life back there!

III. THE REVIVAL COMMAND (Exodus 14:13-15)

A. Fear Not — Stand Still — See God Move

• “Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord.” (v.13)

• You can’t fight Pharaoh — but God can.

B. The Lord Will Fight for You

• “Hold your peace!” (v.14)

• Some of us need a holy hush — stop talking defeat, start seeing victory.

C. Move Forward!

• “Speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward.” (v.15)

• Faith isn’t faith until it moves.

• The sea didn’t part while they stood still — it opened when they walked.

Revival Shout:
Tell your neighbor: MOVE FORWARD!

IV. MIRACLES IN MOTION (Exodus 14:19-22)

A. God’s Angel Moved Behind Them

• “The angel of God… went behind them.” (v.19)

• Revival brings divine repositioning — what was in front now guards your back.

B. The Sea Parted All Night

• “By a strong east wind all that night.” (v.21)

• Even while you sleep, God is working your miracle.

C. Walked on Dry Ground

• “In the midst of the sea upon dry ground.” (v.22)

• Faith will carry you where logic says you should drown.

Preaching Moment:
You won’t just survive this — you’ll walk through it dry!

V. VICTORY THAT DROWNS YOUR ENEMY (Exodus 14:23-31)

A. The Enemy Followed But Couldn't Cross

• “And the Egyptians pursued.” (v.23)

• Demonic assignments can chase you — but they can’t cross into what God has for you.

B. Wheels Came Off

• “Took off their chariot wheels.” (v.25)

• When God moves — even hell's best weapons break down.

C. Complete Deliverance

• “Not so much as one of them remained.” (v.28)

• Revival isn’t partial victory — it’s complete deliverance.

D. A Revival Testimony

• “And they feared the Lord and believed the Lord.” (v.31)

ALTAR CALL: MOVE IN FAITH

You can’t stay at the Red Sea any longer.

Tonight:

• Come if you need a way where there’s no way.

• Come if you’re done complaining and ready to move.

• Come if you want God to drown what’s been chasing you.

Declaration:
"I’m moving forward — and I will not die here!"
