<TITLE>11. Par 31-33</TITLE>L-31 Now, they led him right out on the road to the promised land. You know all the contest between God and Pharaoh down there, how by faith he did this, by faith he did this, and by faith he did this.
And now, on our text tonight we find them on their journey. And they look out yonder, and there's the Red Sea, mountains on both sides; and they lifted up their eyes and looked back, and there come Pharaoh with all of his army, all of his trained soldiers, his chariots, and his captain of each chariot, and so forth. Here come a great cloud of dust while tens of thousands, yes, perhaps, a million or more, armed men come. And here this bunch of little sheep was backed up with the drove of wolves coming on them.
Then what happened? Just the human, just like we all do. "Wasn't there enough graves down in Egypt that we could be buried there?" That's the way we think. They'd forgot what all faith had done for them a few days before. That's what we do.
The first little pain hits us, after you been prayed for, "Oh, well, I guess I lost it." Oh, my.
And hear them coming to the platform been healed of cancer, blinded eyes has been opened. Those who were lame walk again, and all these things, and we see it, look at it, examine it, go right on moving. And then the first little conflict comes along, we forget all about that. See the Lord Jesus in the power of His resurrection, but we so quickly forget. That's the human part of it.

L-32 But they seen it, and they were helpless. Now, what a place. Would you imagine? A people that walked reverent before God, that's kept every one of His precepts. They ate the Paschal lamb; they sprinkled the blood; they followed every instruction just as Moses give it, reverently. And then God led them right out there, and trapped them. Oh, my. Helpless, not a thing they can do...
Here's the Red Sea; here's the mountains on either side. And they're right back in the little neck, and here comes Pharaoh's army. God led them in a trap. Oh, but, my, God drawed the blueprint of their journey before the world was ever made to pass through there. Hallelujah. Don't think I'm crazy 'cause I holler 'Hallelujah.' I can't help it; I'd blow up, I believe with this.
"Hallelujah" means "praise our God." Halle-lujah, praise our God. All right. That's one word I can speak in German or any of the rest of language, even to the Hottentots in South Africa. No matter where, it's the same word; Hallelujah is the same. Praise our God.

L-33 Now, here they are, all cornered up, God, pushing His children right out that part of--of Egypt, coming right up along, and trapped them right in this place. The God of heaven was leading them by a Pillar of Fire, and brought them into this trap.
Now, unbelief will say, "Why? Why did He do it?" Look immediately after he got out of that, they went right into the wilderness of sin, right out of there into the murmur, everything. God leads His children through these kind of paths.
Some through the water,
Some through the flood,
Some through deep trials,
But all through the Blood...
Amen. That's the way; just follow. Don't make any difference where He's leading, just keep following. And that's what Israel had done and walked right into a trap. But the human side, they forgot all the miracles, forgot all the great God that had been leading them, and begin to wonder, "What can we do?"
Then Moses cried to the Lord. And a voice came back, "Stand still (Hallelujah) and see the salvation of God." See what? Salvation. Now, God...
