The Heart of David for Victory | Asher Intrater

Israel has been in a war with Hamas, Hezbollah, and global jihadism for over a year now. Despite the horrible difficulties, God has been incredibly gracious. We have seen miracle after miracle. He is showing His hand in victory as the Lord of Armies. Prime Minister Netanyahu has given a new name to the war: Tekuma. This means "rising up" or even "resurrection". It is reminiscent of the call to rise up in the Isaiah 60 "rise and shine" prophecy and the Ezekiel 37 "dry bones" vision. This is the time for believers everywhere to rise up and receive the same heart that David had to be victorious and courageous in battle. This is the heart of Yeshua as the Lion of the Tribe of Judah. This kind of faith is needed to take down the spirit of Goliath in Islamic jihad today. David's motivation was not first political or military. He challenged Goliath for having blasphemed the God of Israel. He wanted that all the world will know that there is a God in Israel, He is real, all powerful, and always victorious. I Samuel 17:45-46: I come to you in the name of the Lord of armies, the God of the battle arrays of Israel, whom you have cursed. This day the Lord will deliver you into my hand, and I will strike you and take your head from you... so that all the earth will know that there is a God in Israel. There is a worldwide witness now demonstrating the power of the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. May the heart and anointing for victory that was on David be upon all of us in the name of Yeshua, the Captain of Armies of Heaven!
