Get to our website or Facebook 8 00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:30,120 page through the links below. How God fights for his people. 9 00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:36,080 Basically God fights for you. So we see in the last verse or 10 00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:42,760 the 15th verse, we see that Moses says Moses built an altar 11 00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:45,760 and called it the Lord is my banner. 12 00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:48,160 Everybody says the Lord is my banner. 13 00:00:48,160 --> 00:00:52,080 You know, this is very important. 14 00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:54,120 We were singing, I sing the name of Jesus. 15 00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:55,240 You know, it's something similar. 16 00:00:55,520 --> 00:01:02,160 You are saying the Lord is my banner, you are declaring His 17 00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:05,120 protection, you are declaring His victory, you are declaring 18 00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:07,880 His blessing, you are declaring His provision, you are declaring 19 00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:10,720 His guidance. You declare that God means 20 00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:14,920 something to you. So in the Hebrew it says Yahweh 21 00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:17,080 nisi. Everybody say that Yahweh nisi. 22 00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:22,640 So how? I mean, whenever God gives 23 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:27,320 himself a name in the Scripture, and that has got deep meaning, 24 00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:32,720 and this is just a very small story where these people have 25 00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:34,880 just experienced a miracle from God. 26 00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:38,280 They have been fed by mana and they drank from the rock. 27 00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:43,280 Their thirst was satisfied by splitting the rock. 28 00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:46,800 God gave them water. Remember, when you have a 29 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:49,960 miracle in your life, when you experience a miracle in your 30 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,840 life, that's the time they will attack you. 31 00:01:54,920 --> 00:02:00,520 You have a big time and immediately the devil wants to 32 00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:02,120 make sure that you are discouraged. 33 00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:10,600 So he attacks. This is his strategy, this is 34 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:14,520 how he works. So you need to know how God 35 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:16,960 works. You also need to know how devil 36 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:20,800 works. Why you will be prepared to 37 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,840 face. When you know how he works, you 38 00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:25,600 will be prepared to face the devil. 39 00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:30,640 Think of Elijah, he went up on the Mount of Carmel, challenged 40 00:02:30,640 --> 00:02:33,560 the people of Israel, decided today whether the Lord is God. 41 00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:36,160 And then he called all the prophets of Baal, and then he 42 00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:39,160 killed them on the mountain. When the fire came down, 43 00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:42,040 consumed the sacrifice. He killed all the prophets of 44 00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,880 Baali, took them captive and killed them in the valley. 45 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:50,160 But Jezebel, she sent a small message. 46 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:53,560 Tomorrow by this time, if your head will remain on your 47 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:58,720 shoulders, that's all she said. And this man ran from there to 48 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:02,000 Beer Sheva with his servant and left the servant there, then 49 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:06,760 kept on going, So tired, no energy, no food, no sleep, no 50 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,760 rest. He fell, I mean, under the tree 51 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:13,200 Bush. He fell asleep until the Angel 52 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:16,240 came and woke him up and gave him bread and water a second 53 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:19,360 time. And then he walks 40 days, day 54 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,360 and night, you know, for 40 days he walks and reaches Mount 55 00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:25,560 Sinai, Mount Horre, wherever the Lord was speaking to him. 56 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:30,200 But how did the enemy attack after the big victory? 57 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,600 Jezebel challenged him. Tomorrow by this time, if your 58 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:35,960 head will remain on your shoulders. 59 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:42,480 So here they had the mighty experience of being fed with the 60 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:47,120 food of the angels, the aid mana, and then they grumbled for 61 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:51,000 water and God split the rock. Moses went and hit the rock and 62 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:56,240 it split and gave water. And now in the in NIV doesn't 63 00:03:56,240 --> 00:04:00,040 come out very very strong. NIV says the Amalekites came and 64 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:03,800 attacked the Israelites, but in some other translation says then 65 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:08,160 Amalek attacked Israelites, then came Amalek. 66 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:13,600 So Amalek stands for devil. Amalek stands for the heart of 67 00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:16,120 the devil. Resistance to God, resistance to 68 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:19,560 the rule of God, resistance to the power of God, resistance to 69 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:23,920 the plan of God. Amalek is representing the 70 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:27,160 devil. And what is here happening? 71 00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:30,760 Who is Amalek? Amalek is the descendants of 72 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,720 Esau. Who is Esau? 73 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:41,240 Esau and Jacob were brothers, he was the eldest basically. 74 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:46,680 And then God says even before they were born, what does God 75 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:48,280 say? Isa. 76 00:04:48,280 --> 00:04:54,000 I hated Jacob, I have loved Jacob before anybody does 77 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,320 anything good or bad, how does God say such things? 78 00:04:57,280 --> 00:05:02,200 Now think of that. What I am talking here is a 79 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:04,720 revelation from the Lord. Yesterday I was sitting there 80 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:06,000 and studying. The Lord gave me this 81 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:10,400 revelation, so you may think it is not right. 82 00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:14,800 Why does God reject the eldest son Esau and give a blessing to 83 00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:16,160 the younger? 1 Jacob? 84 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,320 But God foresaw what is going to happen in the future. 85 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:24,720 He foresaw the descendants of Esau not going to honor God, not 86 00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,960 going to fear God, not going to follow God, not going to be part 87 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:32,040 of God's plan. And they were opposing the work 88 00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,520 of God. And you know, very 89 00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:37,840 interestingly, when you look at this last verse of chapter 17, 90 00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:42,360 verse 16, it says he said for hands were lifted up to the 91 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:46,320 throne of the Lord, The Lord will be at war against 92 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:48,400 Amalekites from generation to generation. 93 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:53,600 For how long? Forever. 94 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:56,760 And they were completely wiped out. 95 00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,600 If God had chosen Isa, what would have happened? 96 00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:04,880 They will be working against the plans of God. 97 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:08,320 God will finish them off. And how will Jesus come into the 98 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:11,280 world? How can Jesus come into the 99 00:06:11,280 --> 00:06:14,000 world? That is why he saw into the 100 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:17,440 future. And he said he saw I hated, but 101 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:21,480 Jacob I loved. My question is, God is looking 102 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,760 at your future, at your heart, at your future, at your children 103 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:26,400 and children's children and children's children and 104 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:30,120 children's children. And because you are fearing God, 105 00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:33,600 those descendants are going to be blessed, going to walk in the 106 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:35,720 blessing of God. He says so. 107 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:39,480 And so I choose. And you don't fear God and your 108 00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:41,960 children don't fear God. And they are all going to be 109 00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:43,880 atheists and they are going to work against God. 110 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:45,920 God will say so. And so I have rejected. 111 00:06:47,280 --> 00:06:52,200 It is very simple. Your faith is going to bless the 112 00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:55,520 future generations. It is not in vain. 113 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:58,040 You believe, you don't believe in vain. 114 00:06:58,840 --> 00:07:03,800 You believe because God is not only God of Moses, is God of 115 00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:08,080 Joshua, He is not only God of Abraham, God of Isaac and Jacob 116 00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:11,240 Forever and ever. He is God S when you believe in 117 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:15,640 Jesus, what is what is? What you are getting is that God 118 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:18,760 is going to stand with you and your family forever and ever. 119 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,160 What a great blessing. Can I hear a shout? 120 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:23,880 Hallelujah. Yeah, Amen. 121 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:27,960 Whatever. So it is not in vain. 122 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:33,800 Remember your faith is not in vain because God is putting His 123 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:37,240 finger on your life and blessing you and is going to bless your 124 00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:40,880 generations. Now I was just thinking about 125 00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:42,920 it, how God plans and changes things. 126 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:46,080 You know, sometimes He likes something, sometimes he rejects 127 00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:47,680 something. Why does he do it? 128 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:54,440 Think of Adam and Eve, They ate the fruit, but then he stationed 129 00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:58,760 A flaming sword so that they will not reach out and eat from 130 00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:00,440 the tree of life and live forever. 131 00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:04,360 That was an act of mercy. Otherwise they will be sinful 132 00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:08,480 and living forever. So God wanted to stop it, so he 133 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:13,800 put a flaming sword. If God does not accept Jacob and 134 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:18,720 reject Esau, it is going to be like allowing Adam and Eve to 135 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:21,000 eat from the tree of food, from the tree of life. 136 00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:24,360 That's the reason why he doesn't want to make that happen. 137 00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:28,640 So Selex chooses Jacob and not Esau. 138 00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:35,559 Think of Saul and King David. Saul God made, he chose him as 139 00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,480 king, but he did not live up to his expectation. 140 00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:41,840 He disappointed God. He disobeyed God all his life 141 00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:46,760 and as soon as he disobeyed, God said I take your Kingdom and 142 00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:50,640 give to your neighbor. I am taking a Kingdom and giving 143 00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:54,560 to your neighbor. But yet Saul ruled for 40 years. 144 00:08:56,560 --> 00:09:00,960 It took 40 years for God to deal with the family of Saul until 145 00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:04,720 everybody died, until everybody died. 146 00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:09,200 And then God gave the Kingdom, transferred it to David so that 147 00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:12,600 he can establish that Kingdom forever and ever, so that Jesus 148 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:16,400 can come through that and he can sit on that seat on the throne 149 00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:19,880 of David, and the kiss of David will be on his shoulder and he 150 00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:22,800 will be King of kings, Lord of Lords, forever and ever. 151 00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:28,960 Can we appreciate the wisdom of God, sovereignty of God, His 152 00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:32,520 power, his wisdom, his foresight, his knowledge? 153 00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:36,280 I tell you, the more you think of God, the more you are going 154 00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:40,480 to be humbled by God. They are going to be humbled 155 00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:45,560 before God. So this is this Amalek. 156 00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:49,240 They came and attacked. And why did they attack? 157 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:53,400 When the Israelis came out of Egypt and crossed through and 158 00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:55,440 all these things were happening, when they came to that area 159 00:09:55,440 --> 00:10:00,520 where Amalek was living, they came and attacked Israel from 160 00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:03,680 behind. From Deuteronomy chapter 25, 161 00:10:04,680 --> 00:10:07,680 Deuteronomy chapter 25 verse 1718 says remember what the 162 00:10:07,680 --> 00:10:11,720 Amalekans did to you along your way from Egypt, how they met you 163 00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:15,520 on your journey when you were tired and weary and they 164 00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:19,080 attacked all your stragglers. They had No Fear of God. 165 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:23,680 What what was the main problem? They had No Fear of God. 166 00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:30,160 And the last verse of 17 chapter is difficult to translate, very 167 00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:32,440 difficult to translate. You read some strict one 168 00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:35,400 translation. It says a fist has been raised 169 00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:39,840 against the throne of God and then God says I will fight 170 00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:41,640 Americans from generation to generation. 171 00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:45,400 So when they attack the Israelites, they attack the plan 172 00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:47,680 of God for his his plans and purposes. 173 00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:50,600 An attack on Israel is an attack on God himself. 174 00:10:50,680 --> 00:10:56,560 They raised a fist against Yahweh and God says because of 175 00:10:56,560 --> 00:10:59,080 this I will fight and finish you. 176 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:05,480 I will fight and finish you and some other places it says no, 177 00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:09,480 no, no, it doesn't mean that. It means Moses lifted up his 178 00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:14,040 hand to the throne of God and because he prayed, God said I am 179 00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:15,680 going to defend you. I am going to protect you. 180 00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:18,280 I will fight the Amalekites from generation to generation, 181 00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:21,400 whatever way you like you take it. 182 00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:26,800 But one thing is clear, that God will not allow anybody to 183 00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:29,120 challenge him and let them go just like that. 184 00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:34,440 He will not. When Saul persecuted the 185 00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:36,960 Christians, what did Jesus say to him? 186 00:11:37,680 --> 00:11:40,800 Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me? 187 00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:45,240 You cannot touch the people of God and not touch God. 188 00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:50,400 That is the reason why we need to be having fear of God. 189 00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,960 And when you come under the fear of God, when you worship Him, 190 00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:58,400 you are establishing His. When you have established His 191 00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:01,640 throne over in your life, you are going to come under the 192 00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:05,880 banner of God. Everybody said banner, now 193 00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:08,080 banner. What does banner actually mean? 194 00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:14,480 The Yahweh nisi, the word nisi, the root word is Ness in Hebrew, 195 00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:18,560 and that stands for a flag, that stands for a banner. 196 00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:21,880 In the war, when you win, you're walking with the banner because 197 00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:24,560 you're victorious and you got a pole. 198 00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:30,280 Sometimes when when Moses lifted up the pole in the wilderness, 199 00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:33,800 whoever he was bitten by snake, they looked up to the bronze 200 00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:37,760 snake and they were healed. And Jesus refers to it in John 201 00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:39,800 chapter 3 when he was talking to Nicodemus. 202 00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:46,040 And he says as Moses lifted up the serpent on a pole in the 203 00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:50,200 wilderness, so shall the Son of Man be lifted up so that whoever 204 00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:58,640 looks to him may be saved. So the word pole is also Ness. 205 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:04,560 So when God raises a banner, he raises a pole. 206 00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:10,760 You have this is a this chapter 17 is a prefigurement or a 207 00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:16,400 future prophecy of lifting up the name of I mean Jesus himself 208 00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:20,760 on the pole. He because that word Ness stands 209 00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:24,920 for pole. And in the fight against the 210 00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:29,880 enemy, he gives you victory. He fights for you. 211 00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:34,360 He leads you into victory and what we have to do is to 212 00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:39,120 proclaim that he is the banner over my over our lives. 213 00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:47,720 So every day what you have to do is you say Jesus is my Lord when 214 00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:51,200 you are saying you are lifting the banner over your life and 215 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:54,680 you say Jesus is Lord over my wifes life. 216 00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:57,160 Jesus is Lord over my children's life. 217 00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:00,960 Jesus is Lord over my job. Jesus is Lord over my health. 218 00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:05,480 Jesus is Lord over my promotion. Jesus is Lord over my future. 219 00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:09,720 Jesus is Lord over my destiny. You that banner, Yahweh is 220 00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:12,560 banner over your life. That is according to your 221 00:14:12,560 --> 00:14:19,920 confession, as you confess with your mouth, His protection 222 00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:23,800 descends on your life. His blessing comes upon your 223 00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:27,320 life. That's the reason why Moses, 224 00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:32,280 after the victory, he built an altar and named that altar 225 00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:41,240 Yahweh Nisi, Yahweh Nisi. Everybody say Yahweh Nisi, when 226 00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:47,520 you say it with your mouth, the protection of God, His blessings 227 00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:52,160 descend on you. And when you say it every day, 228 00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:58,040 over your family, over your children, over your finances, 229 00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:02,960 over your destiny, God works out His plan and purposes in your 230 00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:20,040 life, and then He Amalekites. They cease to be a nation. 231 00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:22,360 Today you do not have any country. 232 00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:24,960 Their descendants of Americans are living here. 233 00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:30,760 You cannot point out anywhere they are gone. 2600 years ago 234 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:32,880 they were eradicated as a people. 235 00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:35,680 You do not have the DNA now anywhere. 236 00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:41,720 Why? God said I will fight Amalekites 237 00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:47,000 from generation to generation. So on that day God told Moses, 238 00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:49,800 tell Joshua to engage them in the war. 239 00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:53,680 Let him take the men who are capable to fight and fight the 240 00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:56,520 Amalekites tomorrow. But you go up on the mountain, 241 00:15:56,600 --> 00:16:00,240 hold the stuff that you have in your hand above, in your above 242 00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:04,720 like this, with two hands. And that's what happened in 243 00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:08,640 chapter 17. Next day Joshua goes with his 244 00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:11,960 army and is fighting in the on the on the playing field. 245 00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:15,520 And Moses goes up along with Aaron and Hood. 246 00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:20,120 And with when Moses was lifting up the hands with the rod was 247 00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:23,320 up, they were winning because his hands get tired and he 248 00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:25,400 brings it down. I'm gonna get start winning. 249 00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:33,880 What does this mean? It is prayer that wins the war. 250 00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:41,120 Not your power, not your weapons, not your horses, not 251 00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:45,480 your Spears, not your sports, not what you have is going to 252 00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:47,960 save you, deliver you. It is prayer. 253 00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:57,400 Everybody say prayer to enforce that idea. 254 00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:09,480 God says in verse 16 sorry, not 16 in verse 15 later 14 sorry in 255 00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:14,319 verse 14 he says then the Lord said to Moses, write this on a 256 00:17:14,319 --> 00:17:18,800 scroll as something to be remembered and make sure that 257 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:24,000 Joshua hears it because I will completely blot out the memory 258 00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:27,720 of Hamalek from under heaven. From under heaven. 259 00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:31,400 I am going to remove the memory of Hamale 100% people will not 260 00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:33,880 remember them anymore because I am going to finish last one of 261 00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:35,160 them. I am going to kill everyone of 262 00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:38,680 them. You know when God says something 263 00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:41,240 like that is the end of that matter. 264 00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:46,640 May He never look at our life and say, I want to finish this 265 00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:50,800 case. Let there be faith in our heart 266 00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:55,400 that will attract His grace. Let there be trust in Him that 267 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:59,240 will attract His blessing. Let there be joy at the mention 268 00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:03,480 of the name of Jesus because that joy will trigger you to 269 00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:07,400 live for Him, gives you energy, gives you power. 270 00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:11,360 It gives you, it motivates you. Let the name of Jesus motivate 271 00:18:11,360 --> 00:18:16,360 you to live for Him, because that will attract a blessing. 272 00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:23,200 And he said write it down. This is the first time you see, 273 00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:27,160 even though already many things were written down here for the 274 00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:31,440 first time, here he is writing down for the future generations. 275 00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:35,760 Why let Joshua hear it? You know the name Joshua comes 276 00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:41,920 basically from the Hebrew root word Hosea, that the Lord is my 277 00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:46,040 salvation. And Joshua is another another 278 00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:51,240 the another name for the name of Jesus, the name of Jesus. 279 00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:55,360 So you have Moses who is on the mountain fighting the battle and 280 00:18:55,360 --> 00:18:58,040 you have Joshua fighting on the field. 281 00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:03,600 Both represent Jesus. Both represent Jesus. 282 00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:08,080 You need Jesus interceding for you by the right hand of the 283 00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:11,400 Father right now he is praying for you day and night. 284 00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:13,480 You may be sleeping and get up in the morning. 285 00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:18,800 What a refreshing sleep, but Jesus was praying for you when 286 00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:23,400 you're asleep or you say I got this money, I got this 287 00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:27,760 promotion, I got this job. I he is sitting by the right 288 00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:29,200 hand of the Father is praying for you. 289 00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:33,680 He's fighting a battle. He's fighting a battle. 290 00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:38,680 That's why you can exist and flourish because he's praying to 291 00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:42,320 the Father Day and night for you, making intercession. 292 00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:47,080 So Moses was doing that lifting, lifting up the staff in his hand 293 00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:51,520 was basically prayer. And that prayer was helping 294 00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:54,600 Joshua to win. And when his hand was tired and 295 00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:56,200 was going down, Amalekatsu was winning. 296 00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:59,720 The enemy was winning. That's why you have Aaron and 297 00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:02,960 who they said OK. If this is how the game has to 298 00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:06,200 be played, they bring a big stone and roll it under him and 299 00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:10,480 say sit on it. Now think of sitting 8 hours on 300 00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:16,480 a stone, hard stone which is not polished, not is it very 301 00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:19,280 comfortable. Try it sometime when you have 302 00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:22,400 free time. Just sit on a rock, 30 minutes. 303 00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:27,280 It's not easy Job. They didn't have a cushion. 304 00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:30,400 Oh, let's put this little small cushion under Moses. 305 00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:33,280 He was sitting on the Hard Rock because there's a little 306 00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:36,040 support. That was a little comforting 307 00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:39,160 prayer he needed. And they had to hold his hands 308 00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:45,240 up one side and another side who they held his hands up so that 309 00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:49,440 until the evening they held it up until the battle is won. 310 00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:56,840 Prayer is not for a few minutes. Jesus wanted the same kind of a 311 00:20:57,080 --> 00:21:01,600 support like Moses needed Aaron. And who to lift his hands up. 312 00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:04,800 Jesus was in the Garden of Gethsemane and he comes to the 313 00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:10,080 disciples, three of them. He says, Come with me and pray, 314 00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:14,480 pray. He goes little more, little more 315 00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:16,120 distance. He fell on his face. 316 00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:20,320 God my Father, let this cup pass from me. 317 00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:22,360 Not my will, but thy will be done. 318 00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:25,800 And he was in great agony, even to the point of death. 319 00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:28,800 And he comes again and looks at Simon, and he says, what? 320 00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:34,120 He was sleeping. Simon, are you sleeping? 321 00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:40,120 Get up, watch and pray so lest you enter into temptation. 322 00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:45,640 When you pray, you are not doing God a favor, you are doing a 323 00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:49,560 favor to yourself. Why Simon? 324 00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:53,520 He neglected to pray in the Garden of Gethsemane that day to 325 00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:56,040 support Jesus. That is why he had to deny him 326 00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:59,240 three times before the rooster crore. 327 00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:02,360 He had to deny. I don't know this man, I don't 328 00:22:02,360 --> 00:22:03,560 know him. I don't know him. 329 00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:05,120 What you are saying, I don't understand. 330 00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:07,760 I don't know this man. Why? 331 00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:15,320 Because he did not pray when children hit the hard places in 332 00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:18,840 their life. Its parents who fail to pray 333 00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:24,720 When the spouse is not doing well in some area is another 334 00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:30,000 spouse that is not praying. When future is bleak and dark 335 00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:32,720 and there is no hope and you don't know where you are going, 336 00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:35,400 that's because we have not prayed. 337 00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:43,880 We have not prayed and young Joshua, this is the first time 338 00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:48,080 his name is mentioned and he is going to lead after Moses. 339 00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:50,840 He is going to take over the reins and he is going to become 340 00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:53,320 the leader of the Israelites to lead them into the Promised 341 00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:57,760 Land. So this is his first battle lest 342 00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:02,600 he be puffed up with pride. God told Moses. 343 00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:06,840 Write it down and let Joshua here. 344 00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:13,560 Why pride can destroy Joshua. So God is protecting Joshua from 345 00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:17,360 being destroyed by pride, saying write it down. 346 00:23:18,360 --> 00:23:22,080 It is an answer to prayer. In answer to prayer, the hands 347 00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:24,160 are lifted up. I have fought. 348 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:28,320 So today this is the most beautiful process I am telling 349 00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:34,160 you, where you have convergence of God's sovereignty and God's 350 00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:38,040 power, meeting human weakness and the plans and purposes of 351 00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:41,840 God being fulfilled through prayer, where man cooperates 352 00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:46,440 with God, Man cooperates with God. 353 00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:48,960 Does He need you and your prayer? 354 00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:55,040 Can you send one Angel finish off the Amalekites? 355 00:23:56,280 --> 00:24:04,080 He can, but God chooses to use you to join him in prayer. 356 00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:07,720 I can sense the presence of the Holy Spirit right now. 357 00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:11,760 Here He is moving over on everyone of you who are 358 00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:14,960 listening to me now, and He is impressing on your heart. 359 00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:20,400 My son, my daughter, will you rise up and become a prayer 360 00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:24,920 warrior? It's not just pastor who prays 361 00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:26,800 and the church is filled up with people. 362 00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:31,800 It doesn't happen like that. It is a bunch of people who will 363 00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:34,600 be praying and then the revival comes. 364 00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:39,080 We need Aaron and Hulu and we need the people on in the field, 365 00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:41,720 on the plane fighting the Amalekites. 366 00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:44,120 We need Joshua, we need the Israelites. 367 00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:48,200 It is entire church has to be praying to see a revival. 368 00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:54,200 It's not just one man's job. The question is, are we wanting 369 00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:57,560 to see revival? Do we want this name of Jesus to 370 00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:00,800 be spoken over the city of Christchurch, over Selvin? 371 00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:04,480 If we want to, then we need to become men and women of prayer. 372 00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:08,720 Why are we so hard pressed and say no, no, no prayer? 373 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:14,600 I skipped this time, this week. I'm not there, I'm busy. 374 00:25:16,360 --> 00:25:20,920 If that becomes your breath, if that becomes your life, if that 375 00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:25,280 becomes your either win or loss, and if you are going to fight 376 00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:31,720 like that, then prayer makes sense to you my friend, it is 377 00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:35,120 not easy. What did Jesus say to the 378 00:25:35,120 --> 00:25:38,000 disciples? Can you not keep awake and pray 379 00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:42,200 For how much? One hour? 380 00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:47,800 He did not say Simon. 2 minutes. Please pray for me. 381 00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:52,880 Did he say? He said how long? 382 00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:56,400 One hour. Many people don't like me. 383 00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:58,640 Whenever I mention one hour, they resist in their heart. 384 00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:01,640 I am telling you, in 2 minutes nothing happens. 385 00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:07,400 Nothing happens in 2 minutes. When you have prayed for an hour 386 00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:11,120 every day and then you are in a crisis and you cry out for two 387 00:26:11,120 --> 00:26:14,240 seconds, still the two seconds will work because you have 388 00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:18,400 prayed for one hour every day. If you only pray for two 389 00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:22,120 seconds, you will never work. Why would God have to come down 390 00:26:22,120 --> 00:26:24,960 and rescue you when you have only two seconds for Him? 391 00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:31,160 Think about it. You go to work for 8 hours, 392 00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:36,760 that's why you get a full pay and you say I am here 5 minutes 393 00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:40,560 in a day. You think your employer is going 394 00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:45,480 to give you full money everywhere? 395 00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:48,440 The laws are the same, spiritual laws are not different. 396 00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:55,640 So now Amalekites were fought by Joshua that day, but they were 397 00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:57,480 not completely defeated. They were defeated but not 398 00:26:57,480 --> 00:27:00,480 completely eradicated. You see them up showing their 399 00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:04,960 head again and again. Saul fights Amalekites, but he 400 00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:12,520 did not kill the king of Amalek and Samuel came and pushed the 401 00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:14,080 sword through him and killed him. 402 00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:18,400 And after Saul, you see they were fighting the Amalekites, 403 00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:23,160 but still they were not gone. You see the king Hezekiah's time 404 00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:26,560 a tribe Simeon, I think it is tribe of Simeon. 405 00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:31,160 They go and fight the Amalekites and eradicated last one of them, 406 00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:34,720 everyone of them that is 2600 years ago. 407 00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:39,840 Amalek is finished. Now you may be thinking, oh they 408 00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:43,680 must be very horrible people. They are not the only people I 409 00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:46,640 will show you in the scriptures, lot of people who have been 410 00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:50,960 finished. And one more thing is why did 411 00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:55,440 God have such kind of a dislike for Amalek with Amalekites? 412 00:27:56,080 --> 00:28:01,160 The king Balak was hiring Balaam to come and curse the 413 00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:03,800 Israelites. He took him on the mountain, 414 00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:08,080 looked down on the plane how all these Israelites are 2 million 415 00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:10,400 people are there. You put a curse on them so that 416 00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:14,000 I can defeat them in the war. So many times he tried. 417 00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:17,080 Every time Balaam ended up blessing him, not cursing. 418 00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:23,240 But when he when he uttered a Oracle against Amalek, he said 419 00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:25,120 Amalek is the first among the nations. 420 00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:27,560 But he will be destroyed by whom? 421 00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:30,920 The same people on whom he is trying to put a curse, they are 422 00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:36,600 going to destroy Amalek. And Amalek is a symbol of the 423 00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:41,880 enemy, the devil. Devil will be finished, but who 424 00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:49,480 is going to finish the devil the church to the church Jesus said 425 00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:55,600 I will put I give you authority to turn up on snakes carpet all 426 00:28:55,600 --> 00:29:00,680 the power the enemy in no, no by number means he is going to harm 427 00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:03,160 you hurt you. The devil cannot hurt you. 428 00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:05,600 Why? Jesus has given you authority 429 00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:07,960 and He given you under your feet. 430 00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:13,080 You have to crush the enemy. It is given, but you don't want 431 00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:14,360 to fight, you don't want to pray. 432 00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:16,400 He is going to have a good field day. 433 00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:20,160 They will laugh at you when you don't pray. 434 00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:24,600 Ah, I don't worry about this man. 435 00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:27,920 Why he have only pressed 2 minutes? 436 00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:32,160 He says he sets the target of 5 minutes before 2 minutes is 437 00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:38,520 finished. How do you they will knows you 438 00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:42,480 more than you know yourself and particularly they will knows you 439 00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:45,880 more than you pray. He knows your strength, He knows 440 00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:47,960 your weakness. He knows what is going to happen 441 00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:51,800 tomorrow because he has watched thousands of Christians who are 442 00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:57,800 not prayed and he finished them. He will have a list of people. 443 00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:01,120 If you want, can I have a list? There's a list in the back, you 444 00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:04,280 know, some kind of warriors and all that, but the devil also 445 00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:07,640 will have a list of people he defeated, He is captured, he 446 00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:11,360 ruined, and he will look at you and say, hmm, look at the list. 447 00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:15,200 I want to put your name there. What do you want to say to him? 448 00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:17,840 What do you want to say to devil? 449 00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:21,800 Ah, you are right. Come on, go ahead and put my 450 00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:23,800 name. No, challenge him. 451 00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:28,480 Put him under his feet. God is waiting for you to rise 452 00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:31,080 up to fight his battle. He wants to cope. 453 00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:34,880 See, we need Moses, we need Joshua, we need the army of God. 454 00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:38,640 Without anyone of them, the fight is going to be incomplete. 455 00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:43,920 So God, Jesus has defeated Satan already upon the cross. 456 00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:47,440 He defeated death, He defeated sin, He defeated the devil. 457 00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:50,760 But he wants you to defeat him once more. 458 00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:55,840 Once more He wants you to defeat the enemy. 459 00:30:56,400 --> 00:31:01,080 And there is no other weapon stronger than prayer, no other 460 00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:04,000 weapon stronger than prayer. That's the reason why we need to 461 00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:07,440 pray. And if Jesus is telling Simon, 462 00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:10,080 can you not wait for one hour and pray for me? 463 00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:14,320 Keep awake in one hour. And I tell you, that's what in 464 00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:17,960 the in the Gospel of Mark, it says the flesh is weak, Spirit 465 00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:21,280 is willing. The church has not come out of 466 00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:25,920 that condition yet. Every time we hear about prayer, 467 00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:32,120 hmm, from tomorrow and that tomorrow never comes, I am going 468 00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:34,560 to pray for one hour from tomorrow and that tomorrow never 469 00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:39,680 comes. And the day you can prevail in 470 00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:43,320 the presence of God, you prevail over the enemy, and you cannot 471 00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:46,240 prevail in the presence of God. The enemy will be winning. 472 00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:50,520 Your hand is going down, he wins, Your hand is up. 473 00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:53,960 When you put both of your hands in the air, what you are trying 474 00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:59,960 to say is you are expressing full dependence on God, full 475 00:31:59,960 --> 00:32:02,120 dependence on God, saying no, no, no. 476 00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:05,080 It is not my strength, it is not my power that is going to 477 00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:08,520 accomplish it. I lift my hands up, my Lord, my 478 00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:11,960 God, you fight for me. I depend upon you completely. 479 00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:17,600 And then God says, Son, you have so much of trust in me, I will 480 00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:20,680 fight for you. Daughter, you have so much of 481 00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:22,680 trust in me. I will fight for you, I will 482 00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:25,000 fight for you. I will bless you, I will guide 483 00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:28,760 you, I will protect you. Then you will have a testimony 484 00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:35,040 and you say Yahweh nisi, you will have a testimony. 485 00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:37,360 I am telling you there is no testimony. 486 00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:42,840 Your Christian life is insipid, it is lukewarm, it is dead. 487 00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:48,480 You must have a testimony. You know, worship service. 488 00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:49,720 We used to have a testimony time. 489 00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:53,240 Somebody spoiled it and then they are when we give time. 490 00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:55,680 Nobody is there to say anything good about God because they do 491 00:32:55,680 --> 00:33:01,080 not have an experience of God. What kind of a church is that 492 00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:03,920 where you have no single testimony, 1 testimony, No one 493 00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:07,000 testimony or not a single person has a testimony in a week. 494 00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:11,120 What kind of church is that? You are not experiencing God. 495 00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:17,120 It is just not right. If God is a living God and you 496 00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:20,040 have a living faith, we must have a testimony. 497 00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:26,080 Cool, so much I said, which is not written down here. 498 00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:31,840 So we need to build a prayer altar. 499 00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:35,760 We need to build a prayer altar in our life. 500 00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:40,840 Learn to fight in prayer, but learn to fight in prayer. 501 00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:46,720 And the staff that Moses lifted up the stands for authority of 502 00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:53,520 God in Psalm 23, verse 4, thy rod and thy staff, they comfort 503 00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:57,960 me. That rod is Ness. 504 00:33:59,840 --> 00:34:04,000 The rod is Ness, which is the sameness that he is holding in 505 00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:07,440 his hand is the sameness on which Christ died upon the cross 506 00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:12,320 is the sameness. But we need to come under that 507 00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:15,320 Ness, under the authority of God, enforce the authority of 508 00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:19,600 God in our life over situation, over Amalek, over devil and you 509 00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:21,320 will win. You will win. 510 00:34:24,639 --> 00:34:27,800 There is so much there to talk about in the book of Isaiah, 511 00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:31,400 verse, Chapter 11, verse 10, it says the root of Jesse will 512 00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:33,920 stand as a banner for the peoples. 513 00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:40,080 Who is the root of Jesse, Jesus Christ of Nazareth? 514 00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:45,520 What is he going to become? He will become a banner over the 515 00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:53,960 peoples, not singular plural. Peoples is people group, people 516 00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:56,199 group, people group. Many, many people groups. 517 00:34:56,639 --> 00:34:59,400 The whole world. He is the banner. 518 00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:03,360 He is the banner. And again, there's one more 519 00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:06,880 verse in Isaiah which says 14 and 22 extends the picture. 520 00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:11,080 I will lift up my hand to the nations and raise my banner to 521 00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:13,760 the peoples. They will bring your sons in 522 00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:15,880 their arms. This is talking about the end 523 00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:18,680 times when the Jewish people are scattered all over the world. 524 00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:23,560 God says I am going to raise a banner and the peoples are kings 525 00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:25,840 are going to bring the children of God in their hand. 526 00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:28,040 Basically you like you carry a child. 527 00:35:28,240 --> 00:35:30,560 They are going to bring the Jewish people from all over the 528 00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:32,440 world and gather them in Jerusalem. 529 00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:37,560 What a beautiful promise for Israel. 530 00:35:48,210 --> 00:35:52,850 So we need Aaron, who in Exodus 1712, Aaron who held up hands on 531 00:35:52,850 --> 00:35:55,690 Moses, one on the one side and the other on the other side. 532 00:35:56,170 --> 00:35:59,570 And Jesus asked for the help, saying, my soul is overwhelmed 533 00:35:59,570 --> 00:36:02,290 to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch and 534 00:36:02,290 --> 00:36:06,210 pray. That's what Jesus asked, and 535 00:36:06,210 --> 00:36:10,440 that what He asked disciples is not yet over. 536 00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:15,760 He is sitting as King by the attention of the Father, but He 537 00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:20,200 still depends on the Church to pray between upon you and upon 538 00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:22,880 me. He is depending on our prayers 539 00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:26,920 to accomplish His will, His plan, His purpose, His Kingdom 540 00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:30,280 to come with power. He is looking to us to pray 541 00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:35,920 because He wants to answer. He is ready to answer, but if 542 00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:38,080 there is no one who is praying, what is he going to answer? 543 00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:42,920 You have nothing to ask. What is he going to give you? 544 00:36:50,850 --> 00:36:53,810 So Joshua could not have succeeded without Moses, and 545 00:36:53,810 --> 00:36:56,090 Moses could not have prevailed without the support of Aaron. 546 00:36:56,090 --> 00:36:58,730 And who? Not everybody can be a Moses or 547 00:36:58,730 --> 00:37:04,010 Joshua, ADL Moody or a Billy Graham, but all Christians can 548 00:37:04,010 --> 00:37:07,890 be like Aaron and who and help hold their hands as they obey 549 00:37:07,890 --> 00:37:11,760 God. We need to hold the hands of 550 00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:14,440 your leaders so that they can obey God. 551 00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:20,320 God is looking for people who will share in the battle and the 552 00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:23,120 victory because they continue straight firstly in prayer. 553 00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:33,800 There was a single mother in the United States who was diagnosed 554 00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:39,080 with the terminal cancer. So there will be good days and 555 00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:41,760 bad days. There are days when she goes for 556 00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:46,840 chemo, and she is a woman who was praying very fervently. 557 00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:50,200 She is a prayer warrior. But there will be after the 558 00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:54,800 chemo, no strength, no energy to pray, no motivation to pray. 559 00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:58,320 It is the psychological condition caused by the chemo 560 00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:04,680 that does not allow her to pray. So she cried out to the church 561 00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:10,720 and the church said we will play the role of Aaron and her in 562 00:38:10,720 --> 00:38:13,840 your life. So one lady said, I'll pray for 563 00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:16,120 you every morning. Another one said, I'll pray for 564 00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:18,160 you every afternoon. Another said, I'll pray for you 565 00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:20,760 every night. And people took up different 566 00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:22,840 sorts of time and they started praying for her. 567 00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:27,680 And when she is on the table undergoing chemo, she knows that 568 00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:30,760 somebody is praying because something changes in her body. 569 00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:35,240 She feels the presence of God, the hand of God, because 570 00:38:35,240 --> 00:38:38,520 somebody is crying out to lift her up and say God touch her and 571 00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:42,040 heal her. And she came through completely 572 00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:50,320 healed. God gives the church so that we 573 00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:53,800 fight together, not on our own individuals. 574 00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:57,160 Don't be ashamed to say I have prayer need. 575 00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:00,680 Don't be ashamed to say I have prayer need. 576 00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:04,360 Why? Because the church is wanting to 577 00:39:04,360 --> 00:39:09,000 pray and support you so many times. 578 00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:12,360 I am praying for you guys. I don't just speak in the air 579 00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:16,360 individually by name. I pray sometimes and sometimes 580 00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:21,240 God shows something and I say this is what God is saying and I 581 00:39:21,240 --> 00:39:23,120 want all of us to do the same thing. 582 00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:27,960 Pray and wait. If you begin to pray one hour a 583 00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:32,400 day, before long you will begin to hear God very clearly. 584 00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:36,840 You will hear his words. You will see what is what is 585 00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:39,880 going to do like a video, you will see it and you will hear 586 00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:41,320 his voice explaining things to you. 587 00:39:41,720 --> 00:39:45,560 And before long you will become you will be having words of 588 00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:47,960 knowledge, words of wisdom. Somebody will be encouraged by 589 00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:50,360 your prophecy. Somebody will be healed by your 590 00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:52,200 prayer. And somebody is going to be set 591 00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:56,880 free from the demonic oppression because you have set aside that 592 00:39:56,880 --> 00:40:04,920 one hour every day. Do you want Yahweh to be nisi? 593 00:40:06,240 --> 00:40:08,880 Do you want Jesus to be banner over your life? 594 00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:12,240 Do you want to say Jesus is Lord over my life, my future, my 595 00:40:12,240 --> 00:40:15,000 children, my spouse, my job, my finances? 596 00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:17,800 And do you want to have a testimony where you can always 597 00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:21,920 say Yahweh is nisi?
