""I know that the Lord has given you the land ... For we have heard how the Lord dried up the water of the Red Sea before you ... when we heard it, our hearts melted and no courage remained in any man any longer because of you; for the Lord your God, He is God in heaven above and on earth beneath."" (Joshua 2:9-11)
There are many half-hearted Christians who are not walking in the Spirit. They bear the name of Christ, but there is no visible evidence of Him in their daily lives. Sadly, they create a negative impact for the gospel, as if being a Christian makes no real difference.
REPUTATION DISPLAYERS
But there are many authentic believers who walk out of Egypt in the power of the Spirit. They follow Christ by faith, facing Red Seas and seeing them part, enemies and seeing them fall, and needs and seeing them met by the power of God.
Such men and women are used by God to show the world who God really is. They are not creating a reputation for God, but displaying it They become the conduits for the miraculous God to be on display.
And when God is REALLY seen through a surrendered believer, or group of believers, it has a powerful effect on all who watch. For they have rarely seen God in full measure in the lives of those they know.

God knows what He is about. Always include in your request the greatest prayer—the prayer of surrender. “Lord, Your will be done.” This is the prayer, when humbly prayed, that will always be answered and yield the most valuable result from the God who loves us best ... even if the answer is hard.

Every created man or woman must make their choice. What will you do with God? Will you embrace or reject Him? Draw near or run away? Trust and serve Him or doubt God and serve yourself? This foundational choice determines everything.

As you evaluate your faith, is it “God and?” God and others. God and the world’s ideas. God and my best thoughts thrown in. God and some money. God and a clear path. Or simply: God. Are you vainly clinging to the idea that you need more than Him?
