Rebecca's Red Cord

So what is a Red Cord Blog? - Salvation

There was a red cord that saved Rahab in Jericho from extinction.

She had the faith to believe God for her redemption.

This Red cord starts in Genesis and goes all the way to Revelation. Rahab tied a red cord in her window as an act of faith.

Rahab: (Joshua 2:10) For we have heard how the Lord dried up the water of the Red Sea before you when you came out of Egypt, and what you did to the two kings of the Amorites who were beyond the Jordan, to Sihon and Og, whom you utterly destroyed.

2:11 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.

2:21 She said, According to your words so be it. So she sent them away, and they departed; and she tied the scarlet cord in the window.



It is interesting that Rahab was the only one in Jericho who believed that God was who He said He was. - she alone took her fear and turned in into faith. Can we do that? Take the fear of man and turn it into faith with God? Feel the fear and do it anyway. She risked being different, she risked her reputation, she risked a new beginning. Even the spies were in fear for their lives. Fear of man can be exchanged for the Fear of God.



Today we are facing all kinds of fear - But God has not changed - he still parts the Sea of fear when we step out in faith.
