Like the Word of God, prayer is also a weapon.
The first time Joshua is mentioned in the Bible, he is on the battlefield against the Amalekites while Moses is praying on the hillside. As long as Moses prayed with his staff held high, the Israelites won.
The Amalekites represent the flesh, the carnal nature, a people given over to the things of this world. We will study this enemy in week 6. Today's scripture includes God's promise to completely wipe them out. He will ultimately do away with the flesh, the part of us that desires only the things of this world. Until then, we must submit to God's refinement process in His crucible as the Holy Spirit purifies us from the desires of the flesh.
This is an example of how vital your prayer life is in the battles your brothers are facing. Like David said to Goliath – "The battle belongs to the Lord." God does the fighting, we join Him in prayer.
Challenge:
- Memorize Ephesians 3:20
- Ask your brothers how you can be their Moses and pray for them on the battlefield.
- How can your brothers be Moses for you and pray for you while you are on the battlefield?
