Prophesy to Your Problem
"And Moses said to the people, 'Do not be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which He will accomplish for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall see again no more forever.'" — Exodus 14:13
The Israelites stood trapped between the Red Sea and Pharaoh’s army. Fear gripped their hearts, and instead of trusting God, they complained, blamed Moses, and wallowed in pity. But Moses, full of faith, did something different—he prophesied to the problem. He declared God’s salvation before it was visible. He didn’t speak about the impossibility of the situation; he spoke about the power of God to deliver.
As believers, we often face our own Red Sea moments—bills we can’t pay, sicknesses that won’t relent, relationships that seem beyond repair. The temptation is to complain, to blame others, or to sink into self-pity. But these responses only reveal a lack of faith. Instead, Jesus calls us to proclaim His promises over our trials.
When faced with hunger, Jesus didn’t panic—He thanked the Father and multiplied the bread (John 6:11). When standing at Lazarus' tomb, He didn’t despair—He declared, “Lazarus, come forth!” (John 11:43). And when Satan tempted Him, Jesus didn’t argue or complain—He spoke the Word of God (Matthew 4:4).
Likewise, when we declare the promises of God—"My God shall supply all my needs" (Philippians 4:19), “By His stripes I am healed” (Isaiah 53:5), “If God is for me, who can be against me?” (Romans 8:31)—we shift the atmosphere. Spiritual winds begin to blow. God reveals secret doors, hidden paths, and supernatural power that only He knows.
Today, whatever you’re facing, choose faith over fear. Stop speaking about your problem and start prophesying to it. Stand still and see the salvation of the Lord!
Prayer: Heavenly Father, I come before You today, laying down every fear, every complaint, and every doubt at Your feet. Forgive me for the times I have spoken defeat instead of declaring Your promises. Fill my heart with faith, and let my words align with Your truth. I choose to prophesy to my problems, to speak life where there is death, and to declare victory where there seems to be none. Open my eyes to see the hidden paths of deliverance that You have prepared for me. I trust You, Lord, and I will stand firm, knowing that You will fight for me. In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen.
