If you’re facing what feels like an impossible situation, take heart in this word about victory:
“The Lord is my strength and my song; he has given me victory.” (Exodus 15:2a, NLT)
Recently, while attending our church conference, I glanced across the auditorium, which was filled with the sound of praise after a time of declaration. [1]
“This is a Red Sea moment!” I realized with awe.
It was the sound of victory.
The Red Sea Moment
In Exodus 14, the Israelites had left slavery in Egypt behind.
But Pharaoh was determined to get his slaves back, so he sent his army and chariots after them.
The Israelites were trapped with the Red Sea ahead and Pharaoh’s army behind.
Moses declared,
“The Lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace.” (Exodus 14:14, NKJV)
5 Prophetic Insights About Victory From the Red Sea Crossing
1. God Makes a Way in Impossibility
At this pivotal moment, the Red Sea seemed impassable, and the people began to complain:
- “We were delivered from Egypt only to be killed in the wilderness!”
- “We should have stayed where we were” (see Ex 14:11-12)
And this is relatable.
How often are we tempted to regret our journey—even our obedience to God—when events don’t go as expected?
Yet this story reminds us of God’s faithfulness.
What seems impossible to us is God’s moment to act.
The psalmist tells us,
“Your road led through the sea, your pathway through the mighty waters— a pathway no one knew was there!” (Psalms 77:19 NLT)
As we face our sea of impossibility, we can remember this:
God’s invisible footprints are deep in the waters—on the unseen seabed.
2. The Goodness of God is Full of Victory
Sometimes, we hold onto God’s promises, but threats loom.
And the night seems long.
Yet God is singing songs of deliverance over us (Psalm 32:7).
Beloved, you are about to have a revelation of God’s goodness.
He says, “My goodness is powerful. It is abundant, it is full of victory.”
Let’s declare,
“Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life”. (Psalm 23:6, NKJV)
Now is the time to recall God’s goodness—for it is not passive, but active and powerful!
It comes with the power to overcome the enemy.
3. God has an Abundance of Restoration
As the Israelites left Egypt, they carried an abundance of gifts.
This wealth symbolized God’s restoration.
- Repayment for their years of unpaid labor
- Provision for their worship and their future.
Pharaoh expressly wanted his slaves back—but he would also strip them of the abundance they carried.
The same is true today. The enemy wants to steal the abundant life God has promised us.
But Jesus said:
“I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.” (John 10:10, NKJV)
A Red Sea Moment in Our Journey
As I recognized the “Red Sea moment” I remembered something that happened recently.
At the time, my husband and I were driving home.
Just as we were about to join the motorway, we saw the approaching car lose its front wheel.
The wheel flew off at high speed, rolling directly into our lane. Then, miraculously, it veered off to the side of the highway, causing no harm.
But what gave this moment even more significance, was the unusual delay we had just experienced.
An Accident Prevented
Just minutes earlier, we were briefly held up by a car that had stopped ahead of us. To our surprise, it was a red Ferrari!
The driver stepped out of his car to inspect the cause, and we turned to pass him.
That brief delay—just a couple of seconds—meant we were not in the path of the flying wheel or the damaged car.
As we drove home, we praised God for what was surely a divine intervention. [2]
It was a vivid reminder of how God protects and orchestrates even the smallest details of our lives.
And also, to trust God when delays happen, for He sees the pathways ahead.
- A delay may be a deliverance in disguise!
4. A New Sound of Praise is Here
“the Lord …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.” (Exodus 14:25, NKJV)
The Lord wants us to know that the wheels of the enemy’s plans are coming off!
God is releasing a sound of victory, a new song for a new day.
Like the song of triumph Moses and Miriam led—it was a sound never heard before.
But it became their new theme song! (Exodus 15)
Our praise comes from the revelation of victory.
Knowing that the blood of Jesus is our red line of deliverance, protection, and victory.
Just as the Red Sea marked the final defeat of Egypt’s army, the Cross sealed the defeat of the enemy (Col 2:15).
It’s time to cross over.
5. There’s A New Victory for a New Day
There is a new way of victory for the new day.
Be encouraged by a past victory, be inspired by it—let it feed your faith!
But know that the new thing God is doing in your life is fresh.
Let’s declare, “God is making a way in my impossible situation!”
“Thus says the Lord, who makes a way in the sea
And a path through the mighty waters…”“Do not remember the former things,
Nor consider the things of old.
Behold, I will do a new thing,
Now it shall spring forth;
Shall you not know it?
I will even make a road in the wilderness
And rivers in the desert.” (Isaiah 43:16, 18-19, NKJV )
Notes:
[1] We attended the Planetshakers Abundance Conference in Melbourne, Australia
[2] The car also came to a safe stop by the side of the road (Malcolm saw it in the rearview mirror!)

Dear Helen, thank you for sharing this hope reviving revelation with us. Your story of surviving an accident even reminds of my earlier years when I couldn’t get employment for years. In the year I got employed in 1 year I got promoted three times, I felt the hand of the Father upon me, He restored to me the wasted years. Even this year I believe Him for a new beginning, a new direction as He walks me in His plan.
that’s a wonderful testimony Zoleka, many need that encouragement right now!

Blessings,thank you for your prophetic word.Late last year in December 2024,in my dream:could hear my own voice saying:Let us declare VICTORY.
I know God is doing a New thing in my life,and He is Restoring everything that I have lost.Amen.
Excellent word !!. I loved the first point, God makes a way in impossibility. For context, I read psalm 77. The psalmist is clearly having a crisis and then, he remembers God’s goodness in days of old and his desperation turns to hope. It just reminds me that in a time of crisis, we have to look back and see how God came through for us in the past and that even though the enemy is pursuing us, God will make a way through the waters for us. Very timely word Helen. God bless you
in the toughest of times, a lifetime of spiritual battles, The Lord Has always been there for me, For all my mistakes are washed clean in repentance, perhaps my spiritual light shines too bright that makes me a target for enemies, ive gained a great amount of knowledge and understanding and realize that through prayer i have become likened to truth and have always felt this blog gives us all a special message that resonates with love and joy . thank you.
