The Day Of Iron Chariots

The Israelites turned in horror at the roar of the Egyptian chariots racing toward them. As we know God parted the Red Sea and Israelites moved quickly through the walls of water to the other side.

It says, "And the Egyptians pursued, and went in after them to the midst of the sea, even all Pharaoh’s horses, his chariots, and his horsemen. And it came to pass, that in the morning watch the Lord looked unto the host of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of the cloud, and troubled the host of the Egyptians, and took off their chariot wheels, that they drave them heavily: so that the Egyptians said, Let us flee from the face of Israel; for the Lord fighteth for them against the Egyptians" (Exodus 14:23-25, KJV).

Beloved, if the Enemy is pursuing you - let him. God is baiting him for his own destruction. God is our shield and no harm will befall us if obey His word as He leads us into victory. It says in the morning the Lord looked down at host of the Egyptians and troubled them. You may feel troubled, discomforted and fearful but your Enemy ought to be much more afraid for his end is near.

We live in a day of iron chariots. We can't seem to escape fast enough from the stampede of the Enemy that wants to run right through our homes, dividing relationships and destroying anything good in sight. The roar of iron chariots bring the sounds of anxiety rushing through our sleep. We wake up in the middle of night drenched in fear. You wonder where is your husband or wife at this late hour? Will your son come home? The doctor has the test results ready for the next appointment. Your boss has posted a new job online - it's your position - with a higher salary.

God gave the Israelites a promise of deliverance at the Red Sea before it was parted. And many years later, He gave Barak deliverance from the day of iron chariots. "And Sisera gathered together all his chariots, even nine hundred chariots of iron, and all the people that were with him, from Harosheth of the Gentiles unto the river of Kishon. And the LORD discomfited Sisera, and all his chariots, and all his host, with the edge of the sword before Barak; so that Sisera lighted down off his chariot, and fled away on his feet" (Judges 4:13,15 KJV).

If you see the chariots racing toward you, God will trouble the Enemy. The wheels will become paralyzed. The horses thrown into confusion. The Enemy must flee on foot for his iron chariot is rendered useless! He will be defeated before your very eyes. Every doubt, every fear, every illness that tried to destroy you and take away the promise of entering into a place of rest, will come to nothing.
