The Significance of the Fellowship of Israel with God

My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, in the portion of the Bible that we meditated upon in the past days, we saw that God manifested himself so that the Egyptians (flesh) will not be able to touch the Israelites (spirit) by becoming a wall (water) in between the two of them. That is, how God protects the Israelites who came from Egypt is that when they walked in the midst of the sea on dry ground, the waters were a wall to them on their right hand and on their left. In the journey of the Israelites, God’s word is the water (Christ) which stood as a wall to them on their right-hand side and on their left.

Then the Egyptians pursued and went after them into the midst of the sea, all Pharaoh’s horses, his chariots. People from both sides entered the midst of the sea. What this shows is that everyone must enter through the sea only. Sea signifies the world, which is wickedness. But those who have accepted Christ, God enables them to reach ashore. The others are destroyed by that wickedness.

In the same way, in our soul God removes the wickedness, which is the world and fills us completely with the spirit of God.

When all these things will happen is that – Exodus 14: 24 Now it came to pass, in the morning watch, that the Lord looked down upon the army of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and cloud, and He troubled the army of the Egyptians. 

And He took off their chariot wheels, so that they drove them with difficulty; and the Egyptians said, “Let us flee from the face of Israel, for the Lord fights for them against the Egyptians.”

Then the Lord said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand over the sea, that the waters may come back upon the Egyptians, on their chariots, and on their horsemen.” 

Exodus 14: 27, 28 And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and when the morning appeared, the sea returned to its full depth, while the Egyptians were fleeing into it. So, the Lord overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea. 

Then the waters returned and covered the chariots, the horsemen, and all the army of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them. Not so much as one of them remained.

In our fellowship with God, what comes as a hindrance is Pharaoh and his army. What this signifies is the worldly life which is pomp, worldly education, worldly fame, worldly riches, treasures if all these things are in our soul; these will be a hindrance for us to have fellowship with God with our whole mind. Then in the time of the morning watch, if we will be at God’s feet, then during that time from the pillar of fire and cloud God will look down upon the army of the Egyptians and will trouble their armies.

God is removing all these things from our soul. It is written that all these things are fleeing away from the Israelites.

This is what, the Lord fights for them against the Egyptians. In the same way, God is overthrowing them so that no wicked is there in our soul. 

Along with that, he destroys all the worldly pride, status, fame, riches, treasures and delivers only the Israelites.

Why all these things happen is that due to the rod which was in the hand (word of God). By the word of God, we must destroy the flesh. That word of God will always stand for us as our salvation.

Exodus 14: 30 So the Lord saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians, and Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the seashore. (After this the Israelites can have fellowship with God).

Proverbs 13: 9 The light of the righteous rejoices, But the lamp of the wicked will be put out.

Proverbs 20: 26 A wise king sifts out the wicked And brings the threshing wheel over them.

Proverbs 28: 28 When the wicked arise, men hide themselves; But when they perish, the righteous increase.

My dear people, we see that our God overthrows the Egyptians in the sea. This is because in the soul of the Israelites, the wicked deeds of Egypt are increasing therefore he is destroying it completely.

That is, Proverbs 29: 16 When the wicked are multiplied, transgression increases; But the righteous will see their fall.

Regarding the wickedness that rises in our soul, God is saying Psalms 37: 34 – 36 Wait on the Lord, And keep His way, And He shall exalt you to inherit the land; When the wicked are cut off, you shall see it.

I have seen the wicked in great power And spreading himself like a native green tree.

Yet he passed away, and behold, he was no more; Indeed, I sought him, but he could not be found.

Psalms 37: 39, 40 But the salvation of the righteous is from the Lord; He is their strength in the time of trouble.

And the Lord shall help them and deliver them; He shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in Him.

In this manner, God delivered the Israelites from the middle of the Red sea in Egypt and saves them. This is a clear pattern of the hardened heart in our soul and the evil thoughts in it and also the world, flesh and lust, God destroys these from each one of us, delivers us and is able to save us. Let us submit ourselves.

Let us pray. Then let us have fellowship only with God.

May the Lord bless you all abundantly.
