After Passing The Gate of Breakthrough
You Must Trust God
Prophet Maria Deborah Michael
July 02, 2024
“Then Moses led Israel from the Red Sea and they went into the Desert of Shur. For three days they traveled in the desert without finding water. When they came to Marah, they could not drink its water because it was bitter. (That is why the place is called Marah. So the people grumbled against Moses, saying, “What are we to drink?” Then Moses cried out to the Lord, and the Lord showed him a piece of wood. He threw it into the water, and the water became fit to drink. There the Lord issued a ruling and instruction for them and put them to the test. He said, “If you listen carefully to the Lord your God and do what is right in his eyes, if you pay attention to his commands and keep all his decrees, I will not bring on you any of the diseases I brought on the Egyptians, for I am the Lord, who heals you.” Then they came to Elim, where there were twelve springs and seventy palm trees, and they camped there near the water.” - Exodus 15:22-27 (NIV)
Beloved, welcome to the other side of divine breakthrough. Although life may feel the same, understand that in the realm of the Spirit, change has come.
When I inquired of the Lord about what He wants to say to you at this moment, I heard the Spirit of the Lord ask me, “What happened after the children of Israel crossed the Red Sea? This is the model for what comes next for the children of God in this phenomenal year. After passing the Gate of Breakthrough, it is trust in God and obedience to the Lord that will sustain you”.
It is noteworthy that after the Israelites crossed the Red Sea, they were immediately confronted by circumstances which shook their belief and trust in God to be able to provide and rescue them as He had just done when they witnessed the unfathomable miracle of the parting of the waters of the Red Sea right before their eyes. Even though the challenge of the bitter waters of Marah paled in comparison to the challenge of being stuck between Pharaoh and the mighty army of Egypt and the mighty Red Sea with no land in sight. The Spirit of the Lord reveals that the unfavourable circumstances they faced at Marah was a test to see if, after all they had experienced so far, they had determined in their hearts to trust and depend on God and God alone.
