Day 4: Destroying What Chases You

Scripture: Exodus 14:28 (NIV) - “The water flowed back and covered the chariots and horsemen—the entire army of Pharaoh that had followed the Israelites into the sea. Not one of them survived.”

Devotional:

Some things can’t go with you into your next season. What’s been chasing you—fear, insecurity, shame, that toxic cycle, that doubt—was never meant to cross over into your greater. But the enemy is bold. He will chase after what God has already called free, hoping you’ll turn around and surrender to what God already delivered you from.

Pharaoh’s army thought they still had a claim on God’s people. But God had other plans. When the Israelites stepped onto dry ground, God let the sea do what only He could—He wiped out the threat completely. The very thing that had tormented them for generations was swallowed up, never to rise again.

This is your confirmation: What used to haunt you has no power anymore. That pain, that rejection, that failure—it’s drowning under the weight of God’s grace. It may have chased you, but it will not overtake you. God didn’t just bring you out; He made sure what tried to destroy you was buried behind you.

It’s time to stop looking over your shoulder. Stop expecting the past to catch up with you. Stand firm in your freedom and walk boldly into the next chapter of your life. The battle is over. The enemy has been defeated. The sea has closed, and you are free.


Declaration:

I am free. What once had a hold on me has been destroyed. I walk boldly into my next season.

Prayer:

God, thank You for destroying what tried to destroy me. Help me to stop looking back and trust that I am truly free. I declare that my past has no power over my future. Amen.

Thought Questions:

  • What has God freed you from that you need to stop looking back at?
  • Do you trust that your past has no power over your future?
  • How can you walk in the freedom God has given you?

Here Comes the Bride Devotional - Day Five

  Day 5: The Wedding Day – Stepping Into the Promise Scripture: "Let us rejoice and be glad and give him glory! For the wedding of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready." —Revelation 19:7 (NIV) Devotional: The waiting is over. The long nights, the prayers, the preparation—it all led to this. The bride stands at the altar, fully dressed, fully prepared, fully ready . She doesn’t hesitate. She doesn’t question if she belongs here. She knows this moment was always meant to be. But how many of us pray for the promise, only to freeze when it finally arrives? We question if we’re qualified, if we’re worthy, if we can really handle what we’ve been waiting for. But sis, let me remind you— God didn’t bring you this far to leave you standing at the altar in fear. The same God who prepared you for this moment is the same God who will carry you through it. Every delay, every lesson, every “not yet” was God making sure you’d be ready when the doors opened. This isn’...

  Day 3: The Guest List – Letting Go of Distractions Scripture: "For many are invited, but few are chosen." —Matthew 22:14 (NIV) Devotional: Every bride knows— not everybody gets an invite. She sends out her invitations with care because this day is sacred. It’s not for just anyone. It’s for the ones who truly belong in the room, the ones who celebrate with her, pray for her and want the best for her future. And just like a bride refines her guest list, you have to refine yours. Not everyone can go where God is taking you. Not everyone has earned a seat in your next season. Some people are in your life for a moment, but they can’t handle your forever . Some distractions feel comfortable, but they are keeping you from the preparation God is calling you into. It’s time to ask yourself—who and what is in my space that doesn’t belong? Who in my life is building me up in faith, and who is draining it? What habits, conversations, and mindsets are pulling me away from what God is...

  Day 4: The Wedding Rehearsal – Preparing in Faith Scripture: "Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see." —Hebrews 11:1 (NIV) Devotional: Before the big day, there’s a rehearsal. A walk-through. A moment to act like it’s already happening before it actually does. The bride doesn’t wait until the wedding day to figure things out—she steps into the rehearsal fully believing that the real thing is on its way. She practices her steps, fixes her posture, and moves with confidence because she knows it’s coming. And that’s exactly what faith looks like. Faith isn’t waiting until the door opens to get ready—it’s preparing before you even see it happen. It’s walking like it’s yours before it’s placed in your hands. It’s making room, shifting your mindset, and putting things in order as if you already have the answer in front of you. Sis, are you waiting or are you preparing ? Because there’s a difference. One sits still, hoping something...
