Eternal Answer of Jehovah Nissi (Exodus 17:8-16) 3/24/2024
There is one thing that we, who are saved, must do very well. We must devote ourselves to God, participate in volunteering, and do Evangelism, and Missions. However, there is something that we must do and enjoy first – the blessing of spiritual battle and spiritual victory.
We are people of God; children of God who have the Gospel. We are the remnants (remaining ones) to save all nations and peoples of this age. Our insufficient lives must become evidence before the world through the answers and blessings that God gives. Only then can we give Devotions, Volunteer, Evangelize, and do Missions that saves 237 Nations and 5000 People Groups. Only then will we be able to confess that God has done everything, and everything was God’s grace, answers, and blessings (1Corinthians 15:10). That is how God will continue to pour down on us and use us.
The problem is, there is something that does not allow us to live that way. Who is that? Is it Satan, who possesses power of darkness. He deceived the first humans Adam and Eve and caused them to lose all blessings. If he was able to break down Adam and Eve, it will be a piece of cake for him to break us down, especially given that we are full of weaknesses and scars.
What must we do? That is the answer of enjoying spiritual battle and spiritual victory. We cannot afford to live any longer having everything taken away from us. For a few weeks, we will talk about the Spiritual Victory that Joshua enjoyed as the main figure of Canaan conquest.
In the passage, Israel was freed from the 400 year-long curse of Egypt (work of Passover, Calvary) They had to prepare to go into Canaan and become a great nation to save the world. There, the kKngdom of David was established, and Christ comes as David’s descendant. Through Christ, nations and destiny are overturned in every age. Now in this age, we have entered the Blessing of Salvation.
However, there were enemies that continued to block the Israelites’ way. The first enemy to appear was the Amalekites. They were not just hinderers. They represent Satan, who is trying to block the way of all God’s People and Evangelists even today. It says that “When you were weary and worn out, they met you on your journey and attacked all who were lagging behind; they had no fear of God” (Deuteronomy 25:17-19). “Amalek was first among the nations” (Numbers 24:20).
Satan was also a creation of God, but with corruption and the power of corruption, he became eviler. These forces brought suffering to David who was taking refuge (1Samuel 30:18-20). In the age of Esther, one of their descendants, Haman tried to destroy the people of Israel (Esther 3:6). God desires for us to no longer become victims to these enemies. That is the spiritual battle.
- No matter what, do not be afraid and fight the spiritual battle. God gave us the Covenant of Spiritual Victory through the entire Bible (7 Journeys). Hold onto this covenant and fight in faith.
1) Christ who will come as an offspring of a woman will crush the head of Satan (Genesis 3:15). This is the First Gospel given to Adam and Eve who lost everything as they were deceived by Satan, the old serpent!
2) Christ came to die for us and crushed the head of the enemy as He resurrected. It says that “He must reign until he has put all His enemies under his feet” (1Corinthians 15:25). In the end times, Satan will continue to do evil works, but because the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords will be with us, we will absolutely have victory (Revelation 17:14).
3) That is why as Jesus commissioned out his Disciples, he gave them the authority to overcome the power of Satan and have victory (Luke 10:19). If we face the enemy with this faith, they will flee (James 4:7). They will do evil things with evil power, but we must not fall into fear and become deceived (Ephesians 6:12). Always stay alert and fight with this faith and the power of faith (1Peter 5:8-9).
4) When evangelists put faith in this, demons will flee, and diseases will become healed (Mark 16:17-18). Christ who ascended to the throne has given us evidence (Mark 16:19-20). This is their 3,9,3 prayer and 7,7,7 prayers! Faith of all faith is the faith in God of the Throne and Faith in Spiritual Victory. There is no reason to be dismayed or distraught.
- How will we fight? The important thing here is the line of war.
This is the key to war. When the line is disrupted, no matter how many soldiers there are, it will be over. We see that in the passage.
1) Christ, the Eternal King, and Leader will stand in the front.
① This is what Jehovah Nissi (“God is my Banner”) means. Satan does not fear us. He fears the Banner of Christ that is held up within us and our fields.
② The Banner of Christ that we hold up in our families, workplaces, and businesses is called the Bartizan and Regional Church. Darkness will crumble down in that field and the Blessing of Platform, Watchtower, and Antenna will be fulfilled. Even if it is by yourself, try the 3 Todays. The Banner of Christ will be planted in that place.
2) The soldiers who will go out and fight. Joshua chose people to fight with him (v 9).
① They are the Chosen Ones. They are the Remnants (Romans 11:5). Our church will do amazing works when Remnants and especially Multiethnic Remnants arise. Fight the 3 Battles in 24-hour prayer and stand as a Victorious Soldier of Christ (battle of Genesis 3, 6, 11).
② When they arise as Evangelism Disciples, darkness will crumble down, and the 237 Nations and 5,000 People Groups will be revived. We will begin Evangelism Camps with Remnants in the future. This camp training must take place in their Remnant years. Camp is a military term. As we put up the Banner of Christ and pray in the field, works will arise.
3) In the back, there was Moses, who was praying with his two hands up, and Aaron and Hur, who held up Moses’ hands. This shows the meaning of the prayer of all God’s Servants, Church Officers, and Congregation. The prayers will be lifted to the Heavenly Throne by Angels (Revelation 8:3-5). That is when the Heavenly Army of Angels mobilize to work (Isaiah 62:6-7).
① The Prayer Background of God’s Servants. This is the greatest privilege and mission for all Pastors to enjoy. Joshua was raised by Moses’ prayers, and as long as Moses held up his hands, they were able to win.
② The Prayer Background of parents. Joseph was raised by his father’s prayers (Genesis 37:11), and Moses was raised by the prayer background of his parents (Hebrews 11:23). Timothy was raised by the prayer background and influence of his mother and grandmother Lois (2 Timothy 1:5).
③ The Prayer Background of all believers (Matthew 18:19-20). From this, our Remnants will arise, and the 237 Missions will arise.
Conclusion – “Write this on a scroll as something to be remembered and make sure that Joshua hears it” (New International Version, Ex 17.14-15). This means God Himself will fight and it will go on eternally (Revelation 21:7). May we all enjoy the Blessing of Jehovah Nissi throughout our entire lives.
