I See YOU (Part 2)

ABOUT THIS MESSAGE

This powerful message takes us on a journey through the Exodus story, revealing profound truths about redemption and the layers of bondage we face in our Christian walk. We're confronted with an uncomfortable reality: getting Egypt out of the people proved harder than getting the people out of Egypt. Like the Israelites standing before the Red Sea with Pharaoh's army approaching, we often find ourselves hemmed in by our past, our failures, and our struggles. The message challenges us to recognize that we cannot disciple demons or cast out flesh—we need both deliverance from spiritual oppression and discipleship to deal with our human nature. What's revolutionary here is the reframing of how we approach freedom. We're shown that God doesn't expect us to clean ourselves up before crossing over to new life; rather, He invites us to cross through the waters of grace first, and then He helps us walk in holiness. The Israelites didn't earn their passage through the Red Sea—God held back the waters while they walked on dry ground. Similarly, our redemption isn't about the quality of our faith or our ability to work hard enough; it's entirely about the object of our faith—Jesus Christ. This message liberates us from the exhausting treadmill of trying to be perfect before we come to God, reminding us that transformation happens instantaneously when we surrender to Christ, and sanctification is the journey that follows.
