21 DAYS- THE ESSENTIALS OF SPIRITUAL WARFARE

JUNE 30, 2021

In the prayer and message entitled 21 Days – Prophecy According to the Order of the King, you saw that scripture revealed that the mighty men of David operated from the strength and advantages of their prophetic giftings. But, we also know that the military arm of the Children of Israel were not numbered with the levitical priesthood. It was forbidden to do so.

REMEMBER… The levites were not to be counted in the military census.

NUMBERS 1: 45-50

45 So were all those that were numbered of the children of Israel, by the house of their fathers, from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war in Israel;

46 Even all they that were numbered were six hundred thousand and three thousand and five hundred and fifty.

47 But the Levites after the tribe of their fathers were not numbered among them.

48 For the Lord had spoken unto Moses, saying,

49 Only thou shalt not number the tribe of Levi, neither take the sum of them among the children of Israel:

50 But thou shalt appoint the Levites over the tabernacle of testimony, and over all the vessels thereof, and over all things that belong to it: they shall bear the tabernacle, and all the vessels thereof; and they shall minister unto it, and shall encamp round about the tabernacle.

This is significant because it opens up our understanding and leads us to major revelation.

1. WHEN GOD SAYS SOMETHING TWICE… PAY CLOSE ATTENTION

It was so important that Moses understand that the levites are not to be numbered with, “all that were ready and able to go forth to war” that GOD places special emphasis on this point by saying it twice. Scripture is not repeating itself to be poetic. GOD wants us to hear something powerful.

So we should be asking ourselves, why is scripture making this point to draw our attention to the fact that the military is operating in the prophetic? Their not levites, why are they prophesying with song and sound?

David’s Military system is not based on military skill and might only. Even those in David’s army had attributes of prophecy operating through them.

2. Let’s go back and look at this from the beginning…. 1 Chron 12: 1, 2, 8, 15-18,

12 Now these are they that came to David to Ziklag, while he yet kept himself close because of Saul the son of Kish: and they were among the mighty men, helpers of the war.

2 They were armed with bows, and could use both the right hand and the left in hurling stones and shooting arrows out of a bow, even of Saul’s brethren of Benjamin.

8 And of the Gadites there separated themselves unto David into the hold to the wilderness men of might, and men of war fit for the battle, that could handle shield and buckler, whose faces were like the faces of lions, and were as swift as the roes upon the mountain…

15 These are they that went over Jordan in the first month, when it had overflown all his banks; and they put to flight all them of the valleys, both toward the east, and toward the west.

16 And there came of the children of Benjamin and Judah to the hold unto David.

17 And David went out to meet them, and answered and said unto them, If ye be come peaceably unto me to help me, mine heart shall be knit unto you: but if ye be come to betray me to mine enemies, seeing there is no wrong in mine hands, the God of our fathers look thereon, and rebuke it.

18 Then the spirit came upon Amasai, who was chief of the captains, and he said, Thine are we, David, and on thy side, thou son of Jesse: peace, peace be unto thee, and peace be to thine helpers; for thy God helpeth thee. Then David received them, and made them captains of the band.

21 And they helped David against the band of the rovers: for they were all mighty men of valour, and were captains in the host.

22 For at that time day by day there came to David to help him, until it was a great host, like the host of God.

3. KEY Observations:

  • They came to David. David did not recruit them. They separated themselves unto David, right before he became king.
  • Multitudes defected from Sauls Kingdom to join David at Ziklag.
  • They were the elite fighting force of the nation of Israel.
  • …Even the brethren of Saul. Men of Sauls own family are joining David because they see what GOD is doing.
  • Notice that Amasai, Chief of the Captains was a prophet. (Amasai’s name is based in the Hebrew root word amac, which means to carry a load, burden. He is a burden bearer of the tabernacle).
  • The language shifts from calling the mighty men that came to David, captains of the band (gedud ) to princes (sarim).
  • The mighty men of David became like the host of GOD. A reflection of the hosts of Heaven on earth.

The identity and characteristic of David’s military is more angelic like… they war like the Host of Heaven. The elevation of their spiritual identity is identified by their name change. No longer a band, the are likened to the hosts of GOD. They now personify qualities GREATER THAN military might.

They perceived that they were engaging in something more powerful and of greater importance than physical warfare. They were engaging in spiritual warfare while they fought the enemies of GOD.

As you see in scripture, it was forbidden to mix the men of war with the Levites. Yet, you witness another dynamic happening here. David did not see them as men of war. David perceived them as the host of GOD. David’s army had the attributes of prophecy operating within it. As skilled and formidable as the mighty men of David were in physical warfare, they were as highly skilled in the arts of spiritual warfare.

1 Chronicles 12: 32

32 And of the children of Issachar, which were men that had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do; the heads of them were two hundred; and all their brethren were at their commandment.

33 Of Zebulun, such as went forth to battle, expert in war, with all instruments of war, fifty thousand, which could keep rank: they were not of double heart.

The weapons of their warfare were no longer carnal as they had been under Sauls leadership. They became mighty to the pulling down of both physical and spiritual strongholds. Understanding the times (Issachar), Not double minded, expert in all spiritual and physical instruments of war (Zebulun). We know this because scripture also teaches us that they were men of prayer, praise and worship. Men of understanding, insight discernment. These were their primary weapons, their most essential weapons of war.
Amen.

HEARING, PRAYER, Visions

HEAR THE ABUNDANCE OF RAIN…

Elijah was able to hear the abundance of rain- before the rain came– because his spiritual hearing was attuned to what GOD was doing in the earth. Elijah was listening for GOD. He had the witness of the Spirit of GOD, because he kept his spirit saturated in the Word, perfecting his hearing. Elijah was able to distinguish his inner voice from the voice of GOD, and disciplined himself to know the difference and follow the leading of the spirit.

No Friction in the Flow…

We have to purpose in our heart and discipline ourselves to sort out all the other voices in our lives, and learn to hear the voice of GOD above all others, even our own. This is the powerful combination that we seek. Study of the Word is our mechanism with which we can filter out the noise, and stay connected to the Spirit of GOD, which allows us to spiritually flow in sync, refining discernment, insight, hearing and perception.

Gehazi couldn’t flow with the vision & revelation. But, we are not like Gehazi.

We are coming forward spiritually ready, to do the Greater Works!

PRAYER

ELUL, What if Your Spiritual Identity is Prayer?

Prayers of the Prophets and the Patriarchs…

The very first time we ever encounter the word for ‘prayer’ in the scriptures, is in Genesis 20.

“Now therefore restore the man his wife; for he is a prophet, and he shall pray for thee, and thou shalt live: and if thou restore her not, know thou that thou shalt surely die, thou, and all that are thine.” Genesis 20:7

“So Abraham prayed unto God: and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his maidservants; and they bare children.” Genesis 20:17

  • GOD did not have ask Abraham to pray. For that matter, GOD did not have to ask Abraham to pray for Abimelech. “…restore the man his wife, and [being my prophet] he will pray for you.”
  • When a prophet of GOD is made whole, they don’t have to be told by GOD to pray for the one that wronged them.
  • When a prophet of GOD is made whole, they have the ability in prayer to bring restoration to those around them. Eventheir enemies can be made whole again.
  • Abraham prayed unto GOD. Abraham understood that the secret of his strength in prayer (healing and deliverance, etc.) came from being in the Presence of GOD.
  • Abraham’s prayers opened the womb of Abimelech’s household, restoring even his unborn seed.

“And the people cried unto Moses; and when Moses prayed unto the Lord, the fire was quenched.” Numbers 11:2

“Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, for we have spoken against the Lord, and against thee; pray unto the Lord, that he take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people.” Numbers 21:7

  • The personal, prophetic prayers of Moses connected with GOD.
  • Moses was practiced at getting into the presence of the LORD on behalf of the people.
  • The people came to Moses knowing that his prayers could restore them to GOD.
    • They were humble enough to say to the prophet, “pray for me.”
  • The people knew the prophetic power of Moses’ prayer life and because of that they urged him to pray on their behalf.
  • People are paying attention in the Church. No matter how apostate, idolatrous, disobedient, rebellious and contentious we can be within ourselves, we are spiritually aware enough to know, who has the power in prayer!

“And the Lord was very angry with Aaron to have destroyed him: and I prayed for Aaron also the same time.” Deut 9:20

“I prayed therefore unto the Lord, and said, O Lord God, destroy not thy people and thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed through thy greatness, which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand.” Deut 9:26

  • Prayer time before GOD is absolutely needed for the benefit of the Body of Christ.
  • Life and Death resides in the power of our tongues (in speech and in prayer).

“And it came to pass, as she continued praying before the Lord, that Eli marked her mouth.” 1 Samuel 1:12

“And she said, Oh my lord (adonai), as thy soul liveth, my lord (adonai), I am the woman that stood by thee here, praying unto the Lord (YHVH).” 1 Sam1:26

  • The Prophetess Hannah understood the value of spending time before the LORD in prayer.
  • If you have to explain to the “prophet, apostle, minister, pastor, evangelist or teacher” that you are praying… that’s a problem.
  • Eli had obviously forgotten about the power of prayer or was so out of practice praying before GOD, or so distracted by the apostasy of his sons and daughters, that he did not recognize that Hanna was in prayer.
    • I say that because Eli’s sons died in disobedience to GOD. This could have been exacerbated, because Eli had abandoned his own prayer life.
      • There is nothing in scripture that teaches us that Eli abandoned his prayer life. That is strictly my opinion.
  • Sometimes, in order for Christians to get into the presence of GOD, we need to be in the sanctuary. (This too is based on personal experience and observations).
    • Consecrated ground can help us focus. To pull them out of prayer for nonsensical reasons, or personal agendas is a great shame.
  • Continual prayer can help each of us gain a greater level of sensitivity and discernment in the spirit.
    • We need to be able to operate with a higher level of sensitivity and discernment so that we don’t miss what the spirit of GOD is doing. Without it we can miss the move of GOD.
    • Without it, we can grieve the spirit of GOD and be completely off track the entire time, thinking that we are flowing with the spirit of GOD.

“And Samuel said, Gather all Israel to Mizpeh, and I will pray for you unto the Lord.” 1 Samuel 7:5

“But the thing displeased Samuel, when they said, Give us a king to judge us. And Samuel prayed unto the Lord.” 1 Samuel 8:6

“And all the people said unto Samuel, Pray for thy servants unto the Lord thy God, that we die not: for we have added unto all our sins this evil, to ask us a king.” 1 Samuel 12:19

  • The Prophet Samuel understood how to get into the presence of GOD and pray.
  • As they had done in Moses’ day, the people recognized the anointing on Samuels life – (because of his prayer life)- and they sought him out to pray for them, so that once again, they could be restored back into the House of GOD.

“For thou, O Lord of hosts, God of Israel, hast revealed to thy servant, saying, I will build thee an house: therefore hath thy servant found in his heart to pray this prayer unto thee.” 2 Samuel 7:27

The prayers of King David are evidence of his consecrated, dedicated, separated life of prayer.

David stayed connected to GOD through prayer, repentance, obedience and love. Prayer defined his life, his ministry, his Kingship, his leadership.

GOD knew his prophet Abraham would pray, and GOD answered the prayers of His prophets. In script are we have learned that not only does GOD’s Word not return void, but GOD is so supportive of His Prophets, that He will not let their Word return void either!

GOD came for the prayers of Hannah, just like He did for Moses, Abraham and David. Just like He did for Isaac, Jacob, Sarah, Deborah, Joseph, Samuel, Rebecca, etc. etc. etc.

GOD comes for the prayers of His Prophets.

The Secret of David’s Strength

David Was Prayer.

PSALM 109. 1599 Geneva Bible

  • 1 Hold not thy tongue, O God of my praise.
  • 2 For the mouth of the wicked, and the mouth full of deceit are opened upon me: they have spoken to me with a lying tongue.
  • 3 They compassed me about also with words of hatred, and fought against me without a cause.
  • 4 For my friendship they were my adversaries, but I gave myself to prayer.

PSALM 109. JPS Tanakh (1917)

  • 1  For the Leader. A Psalm of David.
  • O God of my praise, keep not silence;
  • 2  For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of deceit have they opened against me; They have spoken unto me with a lying tongue.
  • 3  They compassed me about also with words of hatred, And fought against me without a cause.
  • 4  In return for my love they are my adversaries; But I am [all] prayer.

Psalm 109. Orthodox Jewish Bible

  • Hold not Thy peace, O Elohei tehillati;
  • 2 For the mouth of the rasha and the mouth of the mirmah are opened against me; they have spoken against me with a leshon sheker (a lying tongue).
  • 3 They surrounded me also with divrei sinah (words of hatred); and attacked me without cause.
  • 4 In return for my ahavah they are my adversaries; but I give myself unto tefillah (prayer).

Above, I provided three English translations of the Hebrew in Psalm 109. I want you to pay particular attention to verse 4.

REMEMBER: Hebrew is read for the Right side of the page to the Left.

https://biblehub.com/interlinear/psalms/109-4.htm

I Am Prayer!

Palal

The Hebrew word for prayer is tefillah (formed from the Hebrew root word palel).

Reference the interlinear of Ps 109:4 provided above. Tefillah is the last word in the black Hebrew font. The Strong’s Concordance number written above it is 8605, (tefillah).

Tefillah means prayer in Hebrew. The second to the last word you see in the verse is v’ani. The vav means, but or and. It is normally translated ‘and’, however on occasion ‘but’ is used in context to the overall message.

Ani (Strong’s 589) is the formal way to say, “I Am”. Nothing in the word, ‘ani’ means “give myself”, other than an English poetic license of the translator to add in that specific verbiage.

Removing all traces of “poetic license”, we have two simple words in Hebrew that mean, “I am Prayer”, “Ani tephillah”. (ah-knee tuh-fee-lah)

Reading the entirety of Psalm 109, David is telling us of his distress. His enemies have come against him hard.

Psalm 109 contains 31 verses. Yet, as early as verse 4, before finishing the remaining 27 verses outlining the situation, David triumphantly announces that above all else, I am Prayer!

He is declaring the very method, strategy and foundation of his victory!

GOD teaches us that He inhabits the praises of His saints (Ps 22:3)…

David is determined to transform his life and to become what the LORD inhabits… Prayer!

If GOD inhabits prayer, then I will become prayer, praise and worship!

May we each declare the decree! Let all our enemies be forewarned…

In Hebrews 7:25, Paul taught us that Jesus, “…ever liveth to make intercession for [us].”

The Son of the Living GOD remains before GOD in prayer, as He did here on earth. Nothing has changed.

The disciples lived a life before GOD in prayer. Before and after ministering to others, prayer before GOD was their strength.

The Ministry of the Disciples and The Church itself, were Birth Out Through Prayer!

The disciples stayed constant in prayer for 50 days and that consecration and dedication placed such a demand on Heaven, that the Holy Spirit descended, as promised. Probably, as far as we know.. ahead of schedule.

The disciples believed GOD, waited on Him and went out and changed the world.

Do we have the prayer lives to make this happen today?

How many people attend the Friday Night Prayer Vigil? The Saturday Evening Prayer Retreat?

How many people grumble because “prayer” after service “last too long?”

Could we take the church today into a 50 days of non-stop prayer?

What about a 50 day summer session, retirees and youth only groups?

Can we individually schedule time before GOD daily, to make ourselves available to the source of our spiritual strength?

Do you think this level of consecrated prayer could change our world and the world around us?

This teaching is dedicated to my students. May you all arise to become the priest and prophet of your houses, the one sought out in times of trouble. They will know you by your prayer life and seek out your prayers. You will never need to reveal yourself. The Spirit of GOD shall reveal who you are to the people. You will not be known by your titles, or positions, or charming personalities, the people will know you are the one that GOD has elected and selected to intercede on their behalf, because of the Spirit of GOD that rest upon your lives.

WHEN THE ENEMY ASK, “And Who Do You Think You Are?”

Tell them…

In every spiritual battle you encounter, I pray that you exemplify the heart of David, stare the enemy head on and decree and declare,

“I AM PRAYER!“

Anything that we hope to learn and accomplish through the Word of GOD must be born out of a spirit of prayer. Prayer is the root of all our spiritual training. Study without prayer is futile. Without prayer, we learn nothing and we accomplish nothing.

Prayerlessness makes a pretense of piety.

If God Told You A Secret, Could You Keep it?

COURSE: Introduction to Torah This teaching is normally included in the Introduction to Torah Course as dreams are a natural progression as a result of an increase in prayer and torah study. Expect your dreams to increase. Get into the habit of recording your dreams in writing or by voice. Whenever the revelation is not clear, ask for clarity and understanding, When GOD speaks something into your heart, ask if you should be releasing it or revealing it. Maybe the time is not yet? Consider the question. Can He share His Secrets with His Servant?

As we cover the material in this course, please keep the above question in the back of your mind, stay prayerful and stand the watch.

“The ruach hakodesh* rested upon Joeseph from his youth. He was a tzaddik, constantly thinking of Hashem.” —Rabbi Moshe Weissman

If God showed you the plans He has for you in a vision or a dream, could he trust you with the vision?

Could you allow the vision to take root in your life?, Can God share His Dreams for you in Secret….until the time He says, “this is the way, walk ye in it?”

Joseph was anointed too with prophetic dreams. We all know the error Joseph made when he received revelation from God about his destiny. He rushed to tell the vision to everyone. It wasn’t until he was trapped in a pit, that he might have had a chance to re-think his approach to handling the revelations God gave him.

On one level, it’s perfectly understandable how he responded, right? To obtain such a revelation from God is mind-blowing! Without the advantage of discipline and restraint, it’s extremely difficult to contain, isn’t it?

Keeping the Secrets of God is a principle ingredient of the anointing, as well as an essential quality of spiritual development and discernment. 

Our flesh wants to tell everything… reveal everything… to everyone, as soon as the vision or the message comes to us. Did we write it down, send it out in a text? Did we call someone and wake them up to share the dream? It is definitely tempting, but our spirit needs to hold it close, to nurture the vision… and water the seeds of destiny with prayer and fasting for the breakthrough!

If GOD has a secret that He wants to share with you, can you keep it?

Most people respond with a ‘Run and go tell it on the mountain approach.’ Joseph couldn’t hold the counsel of GOD. By moving ahead of the spirit, he set the wheels in motion that delayed his destiny and endangered the vision GOD gave. In order to regain the territory that he lost through impatience, excitement and an undisciplined spirit, Joseph had to pay a price.

Spiritual immaturity is a destiny destroyer. Plain and simple. It won’t be the enemy that blindsided and blocked the believers’ destiny, or ruined their opportunities,–not at all. This is a case of spiritual self-sabotage.

The third time the word, ‘secret’ appears in the scriptures, it is in Deut 29:29, “the secret things belong to God, but those things that are [uncovered] belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this torah” (incorrectly rendered in the text as ‘law’, Strong’s 2063.Ref: The Journey begins, Part 1-3).

The scripture says it more clearly from Hebrew… “that we may do all the words of this torah”, not that, “we may do all the words of this law.” Note: The secret things belong to GOD that we may do all the words of the torah. This is about following ‘the words of instructions and teachings.’ The secrets things are given to us in order to enable us to fulfill our assignments.

In a conversation between Eliphaz and Job (Job 15:8), Eliphaz speaks of the Secrets of God. He asks,“Do you listen in on the secrets (H5475) of God?, Are God’s secrets not enough for you, words spoken gently to you? (i.e, do you limit or restrain wisdom to yourself?” Eliphaz challenges Job about his access to the secrets of God? Is he implying GOD is limiting wisdom to Job? Is he jealous that Job has the confidence of GOD to carry His secrets?

Psalms 25:14 The Secret of the Lord is with them that fear (yi’ra) him; and he will shew them his covenant. 25:15 Mine eyes are ever toward the Lord; for he shall pluck my feet out of the net. —Fear does not mean ‘fear’ the way we speak/understand it in English. This word ‘fear’ is yi’ra which means to see and reverence, simultaneously. A double-edged sword, if you will. Unlike English, they go hand in hand. Reverence of GOD provides insight, and GOD will open up His covenant to us.

As we have seen above, the word, ‘secret’ is being used in connection with righteousness, reverence for GOD and His covenant. Let’s take a look at Daniel ch. 2

The prophet Daniel is working with a greater spiritual level of maturity, than Joseph was as a young man. When the dreams of Nebudchadnezzar were revealed to Daniel, he asked for time to pray. He did not advance any theories of his own as to what the dreams meant. If he had, scripture would have told us. Whenever, scripture leaves out or includes information, it is done with purpose.

Contrast the way in which Joseph handled his dreams vs. the way Daniel handled dreams. With Joseph in his early years, there was no ‘fear’, no reverence, or insight applied. In fact, Joseph’s excitement sounds like pride and kindles the resentment of his brothers.

Joseph has earned a reputation with his brothers of being a talebearer. On many occasions in his youth, he gives his father an evil report of his brother’s activities, due to his lack of understanding about what is actually happening. He reports wickedness, where there is a merely a difference of opinion, or interpretation of process. Joseph jumps to conclusions.

Whether unintentionally, or irresponsibly, his false accusations on his brothers activities, are returned with false accusations against him in Potifar’s house.

Falsely accusing someone, from the Hebrew perspective, is equivalent loshon hara*, which is like stealing their name and reputation. For these sins, Joseph will be sold into slavery, in effect being stolen away himself.

These above situations began a domino effect, simply because Joseph ran ahead of the vision of God. Daniel teaches us to pray over the vision for revelation and strategy. This is a lesson that it takes Joseph a while to learn, but he learns it. Going forward, Joseph seeks revelation on every dream. He spends 22 years in Egypt, growing up spiritually, in wisdom and understanding. Speaking the vision when the spirit releases him to, no longer moving ahead of GOD.

We do not have 22 years to get this right! Maybe there are some that have spent 20 years fighting banned battles, or locked up in Pharoah’s spiritual prison or Potifar’s house. But if you are called to be a bread provider (like Joseph), you just don’t have time for that!

Key Points:

  • Stay in sync with the Spirit of God –do not move ahead of the vision.
  • Moving ahead of GOD, is equivalent to Spiritual Self-Sabotage.
  • Pray over your Dreams and Visions. Seek insight and revelation, strategy. Remember, once Joseph matured spiritually, he covered the dreams of Pharoah with prayer and sought God for understanding. God responded with a better blessing. God gave Joseph revelation + strategy, which saved Egypt and the entire known world at that time.
  • Rushing to judgment – sets patterns in motion that can hinder your spiritual progress and delay destiny.
  • Moving ahead of GOD, will cause us to walk one way, while the anointing walks another.
  • You will only know what actions to take if you pray first, and be patient.
  • The secrets things are given that we might fulfill our assignments.
  • Don’t be a partner in frustrating the plans of GOD. Be Still. Be Patient. Some dreams take time for the revelations to come. You may wrestle with the vision, but do not let it go. Stay in Prayer.
  • Reverence, allows GOD to open up His covenant to us.

By releasing the vision into the atmosphere ahead of God, Joseph not only has to fight to recover the vision, he has to battle the words that his brothers have spoken against his destiny.

When we are careless with our words, we give our opposition the opportunity to use our words against us. When we wait and pray, we gain the advantage of releasing our words under the protection of the anointing.

Do you release your words under the anointing, or do you release them to war with the flesh of others? Which would you prefer to do?

If you have ever felt the sting of another person using your words against you, you can easily prove to yourself, which one of the above measures is the better course of action.

Guard the vision, wait and pray vs. “Run and go tell it on the mountain.” Protect the anointing on the visions and dreams that GOD gives you, and on whatever He places in your heart to do. Guard them like the treasures of Heaven, and when it’s time to spend them on His Kingdom, you will know it.

Let us choose the more excellent way!

God Bless You,
