Excerpt:
We will see this throughout this book, the children of Israel experience victory when they did exactly what the Lord told them to do. And they were defeated - even though it be in a small battle - they were defeated when they took things into their own hands and did not do what the Lord wanted them to do. This is life or death now. You see, once you crossover, that is it. It is life or death. No more going around the mountain. Those who crossed over had to live by faith. And living by faith was doing exactly what God said to do. Period. No questions asked. But the parting of the waters when their souls hit the water was a sign to the people that God was going to keep His promise and deliver them; that God's presence was with them.
