WAR WORD FOR TODAY: “The defeat of every destiny devourer has come this day. My time is sure. My Word is Pure – You have endured. Movement is upon you! I have raised My Standard, says the Lord! Victory is assured!” (March 23, 2022; Blove)
“So shall they fear the name of the Lord from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against him.
20 And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith the Lord. 21 As for me, this is my covenant with them, saith the Lord; My spirit that is upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed’s seed, saith the Lord, from henceforth and for ever.” (Isaiah 59:19-21)
John 14:12-17 TPT
Psalm 20
Yahweh Nissi: The Lord My Banner of Victory Over Every Enemy!
The Eternal God is My Banner
Exodus 17:8-16
The Amalekites came and attacked the Israelites at Rephidim. 9 Moses said to Joshua, “Choose some of our men and go out to fight the Amalekites. Tomorrow I will stand on top of the hill with the staff of God in my hands.” 10 So Joshua fought the Amalekites as Moses had ordered, and Moses, Aaron and Hur went to the top of the hill. 11 As long as Moses held up his hands, the Israelites were winning, but whenever he lowered his hands, the Amalekites were winning. 12 When Moses’ hands grew tired, they took a stone and put it under him and he sat on it. Aaron and Hur held his hands up — one on one side, one on the other — so that his hands remained steady till sunset. 13 So Joshua overcame the Amalekite army with the sword. 14 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Write this on a scroll as something to be remembered and make sure that Joshua hears it, because I will completely blot out the memory of Amalek from under heaven.” 15 Moses built an altar and called it The Lord is my Banner. 16 He said, “For hands were lifted up to the throne of the Lord. The Lord will be at war against the Amalekites from generation to generation.” NIV
A banner carried at the head of an army or planted on a high hill served as a rallying point for troops before battle or as an announcement of a victory already won. When Moses held up the staff of God in the battle with the Amalekites, he was holding it like a banner, appealing to God’s power. By building an altar and naming it Yahweh Nissi (yah-WEH nis-SEE), “The LORD Is My Banner,” he created a memorial of God’s protection and power.
Deuteronomy 25:17-19 “Remember what the Amalekites did to you along the way when you came out of Egypt. 18 When you were weary and worn out, they met you on your journey and cut off all who were lagging behind; they had no fear of God. 19 When the Lord your God gives you rest from all the enemies around you in the land, He is giving you to possess as an inheritance, you shall blot out the memory of Amalek from under heaven. Do not forget! NIV
Num 24:20 Then Balaam saw Amalek and uttered his oracle: “Amalek was first among the nations, but he will come to ruin at last.” NIV
Num 24:20 Then Balaam saw Amalek and uttered his oracle: “Amalek was first among the nations, but he will come to ruin at last.” NIV
Judges 6:1-16 “Again the Israelites did evil in the eyes of the Lord, and for seven years he gave them into the hands of the Midianites. 2 Because the power of Midian was so oppressive, the Israelites prepared shelters for themselves in mountain clefts, caves and strongholds. 3 Whenever the Israelites planted their crops, the Midianites, Amalekites and other eastern peoples invaded the country. 4 They camped on the land and ruined the crops all the way to Gaza and did not spare a living thing for Israel, neither sheep nor cattle nor donkeys. 5 They came up with their livestock and their tents like swarms of locusts. It was impossible to count the men and their camels; they invaded the land to ravage it. 6 Midian so impoverished the Israelites that they cried out to the Lord for help. 7 When the Israelites cried to the Lord because of Midian, 8 he sent them a prophet, who said, “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: I brought you up out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. 9 I snatched you from the power of Egypt and from the hand of all your oppressors. I drove them from before you and gave you their land. 10 I said to you, ‘I am the Lord your God; do not worship the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you live.’ But you have not listened to me.” 11 The angel of the Lord came and sat down under the oak in Ophrah that belonged to Joash the Abiezrite, where his son Gideon was threshing wheat in a winepress to keep it from the Midianites. 12 When the angel of the Lord appeared to Gideon, he said, “The Lord is with you, mighty warrior.” 13 “But sir,” Gideon replied, “if the Lord is with us, why has all this happened to us? Where are all his wonders that our fathers told us about when they said, ‘Did not the Lord bring us up out of Egypt?’ But now the Lord has abandoned us and put us into the hand of Midian.” 14 The Lord turned to him and said, “Go in the strength you have and save Israel out of Midian’s hand. Am I not sending you?” 15 “But Lord,” Gideon asked, “how can I save Israel? My clan is the weakest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my family.” 16 The Lord answered, “I will be with you, and you will strike down all the Midianites together.” NIV
1 Sam 30:1-7 David and his men reached Ziklag on the third day. Now the Amalekites had raided the Negev and Ziklag. They had attacked Ziklag and burned it, 2 and had taken captive the women and all who were in it, both young and old. They killed none of them, but carried them off as they went on their way.3 When David and his men came to Ziklag, they found it destroyed by fire and their wives and sons and daughters taken captive. 4 So David and his men wept aloud until they had no strength left to weep. 5 David’s two wives had been captured — Ahinoam of Jezreel and Abigail, the widow of Nabal of Carmel. 6 David was greatly distressed because the men were talking of stoning him; each one was bitter in spirit because of his sons and daughters. But David found strength in the Lord his God.
7 Then David said to Abiathar the priest, the son of Ahimelech, “Bring me the ephod.” Abiathar brought it to him, 8 and David inquired of the Lord, “Shall I pursue this raiding party? Will I overtake them?” “Pursue them,” he answered. “You will certainly overtake them and succeed in the rescue.”
1 Sam 15:1-34 Saul and the Amalekites
2 SAMUEL 1 After the death of Saul, David returned from defeating the Amalekites… – the death of Saul.
Est 3:1-2
After these events, King Xerxes honored Haman son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, elevating him and giving him a seat of honor higher than that of all the other nobles. 2 All the royal officials at the king’s gate knelt down and paid honor to Haman, for the king had commanded this concerning him. But Mordecai would not kneel down or pay him honor. NIV
Amalek: as a name it may be a compound of the Hebrew word (‘am), people or nation; and the Hebrew verb laqaq), lap or lick. The Amalekites were thus either known as the Nippers (A tool, such as pliers or pincers, used for squeezing or to cut off the growth or development. Often used in the plural. ). They were also known as the Lickers (a person who gets the better of, takes advantage of another). Or the People That Wring. (To wring is to squeeze or twist something i.e. a cloth to get water from it). Amalek means warlike. The Hebrew root is “amal” which means: to toil; wearing effect; pain; wickedness; sorrow; wearisome; trouble; mischief; etc.
This is a major demonic principality that we cannot ignore. It’s strategy is still the same: create passivity – to wear down and wear out the people of God until they lose their posture of prayer and faith in the Spirit, and then subsequently make wrong decisions and choices regarding their destiny and inheritance, and possibly be even demonically influenced to a place of disobeying the Word, or instructions God has spoken to them about their future.
The definitions of the Amalekites fit the Devil (The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy~ John 10:10) in the spiritual principle. It also fits the “Flesh” or what we call the “Natural Man” (For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other, so that you are not to do whatever you want.) The Amalekites were the descendants of Amalek. He was the grandson of Esau, Jacob’s (renamed by God, Israel) brother. The Amalekites became a semi nomadic people who had two opposing primary characteristics. First they were cruel. Warfare in the Old Testament was a very cruel thing in our modern eyes, even when Israel fought. But the Amalekites were cruel cowards. When Israel was on the Exodus from Egypt, they just trudged along in one huge group. The old, the sick and children lagged behind. In Exodus 17, the Amalekites revealed their cruel and cowardly nature when they attacked the stragglers, slaughtering the weak when no one was near to help them. God condemned them and pledged to wipe them from existence. Everywhere they appear in the biblical narrative, these same two characteristics appear. It seems they never repented.
The Amalekites first appear in one of the earliest books written, Exodus, a few times throughout the Old Testament, and they appear again in one of the last, Esther. Mordecai, a Jew who understood God’s contempt for the Amalekites, refused to bow to Haman, and Amalekite. Haman was faithful to the Amalekite tradition of being a cruel coward, and God was faithful to his pledge to His promise to give the children of Israel victory of the Amalekites. Mordecai trusted God’s power over Haman’s apparent favor with the Persian King.
Sometimes our tiredness is not a natural tiredness. Sometimes it has a demonic source. And we must be quick to recognize its source and strategy to derail our destinies in order to deal with it swiftly and victoriously. This is not something to play with. Your future and possessing your inheritance depends on it.
In Exodus 17:8-16 Joshua and the Israelites are fighting against a tribe called the Amalekites, while Moses is on top of a hill interceding with the staff of God. As long as Moses kept his hands held up, Joshua prevailed, but whenever he lowered his hands, the Amalekites prevailed. Moses hands grew weary and tired, and Aaron and Hur had Moses sit on a stone, while they held his hands up and steady until Joshua had overcome the enemy with the sword by sunset. Verse 14 says that God would blot out the memory of Amalek – they are no longer a tribe today. But then in vs16, it says that the Lord will be at war against the Amalekites from generation to generation. So we’re talking about a spiritual war here now.
Amalek means warlike. The Hebrew root is “amal” which means: to toil; wearing effect; pain; wickedness; sorrow; wearisome; trouble; mischief; etc.
We need to realize the tiredness Moses felt was not just a natural tiredness. Moses was feeling the spiritual effect of the demonic principality of Amalek that operated through this tribe. It was spiritual warfare. This spirit was trying to wear down Moses so he would give up on his posture of intercession for Joshua and the army. Thankfully, Moses had Aaron and Hur to assist him. If you remember Amalek’s strategy in Deuteronomy 25:17-19 was to pick off and take out all the Israelite stragglers that were weary and worn out, and consequently lagging behind.
Amalek’s strategy is to wear down, tire out, weaken, and pick off the people of God to keep them from the destiny of their Promised Land inheritance. The tribe of the Amalekites descended from Esau, the grandfather of Amalek, who sold his birthright bread and lentil stew, because he was “weary.”
If you remember, King Saul had been given instructions by the Prophet Samuel to completely annihilate the Amalekites because of this, but Saul disobeyed and lost his kingdom and ultimately his life to an Amalekite (2Samuel 1)
This is a major demonic principality that we cannot ignore. It’s strategy is still the same: create passivity – to wear down and wear out the people of God until they lose their posture of prayer and faith in the Spirit, and then subsequently make wrong decisions and choices regarding their destiny and inheritance, and possibly be even demonically influenced to a place of disobeying the Word, or instructions God has spoken to them about their future.
