Opening Scripture:

Then Moses RAISED HIS HAND OVER THE SEA, and the LORD OPENED UP A PATH THROUGH THE WATER with a strong east wind. The wind blew all that night, turning the seabed into dry land. ²² So the people of Israel walked through the middle of the sea on dry ground, with walls of water on each side! (Exodus 14:21-22 NLT)

• Crossing over means closure as well as new beginning
• Crossing over means the completion of one chapter and the beginning on a new one

Here’s what God is saying when He wants us to cross over:

For I KNOW THE PLANS I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are PLANS FOR GOOD and NOT FOR DISASTER, to give you a FUTURE AND A HOPE. (Jeremiah 29:11 NLT)

• Cross over- I’m ahead of you!

Here are 4 things we must remember when we cross over

PRICE

But THE BLOOD ON YOUR DOORPOSTS will serve as a sign, marking the houses where you are staying. WHEN I SEE THE BLOOD, I WILL PASS OVER YOU. This plague of DEATH WILL NOT TOUCH you when I strike the land of Egypt. (Exodus 12:13 NLT)

• The blood of Jesus is the RIGHT PRICE TO CROSS OVER!
• Today the blood is on the doorpost of our hearts
• It will not only grant you passage but will also protect you from any plagues

CLOSURE

No, dear brothers and sisters, I have not achieved it, but I focus on this one thing: FORGETTING THE PAST and LOOKING FORWARD to what lies ahead (Philippians 3:13 NLT)

• How do we forget the past? Travel light- Don’t hold on to excess baggage of the past: unforgiveness, pain, hurts, even the good old times

PRESS

 I PRESS ON to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us. (Philippians 3:14 NLT)

•  PRESS: Stronger Commitment; Stronger Resilience; Stronger Courage; Stronger Faith

UNITE

Therefore let us, as many as are mature, have this mind; and if in anything you think otherwise, God will reveal even this to you. ¹⁶ Nevertheless, to the degree that we have already attained, LET US WALK BY THE SAME RULE, LET US BE OF THE SAME MIND. (Philippians 4:15-16 NKJ)

• We might not all be at the same level of understanding of what the next chapter might look like
• Nevertheless to the degree that we understand, Let us walk in unity and be of the same mind
