Exodus 17:8-13- 8 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.
When Moses brought his hands down, the battle turned against them. When he kept them up in acknowledgement that the Lord was the power, they we’re winning to the point of victory.
Your life is on a battlefield rather you know it or not. That battle is for the control of man’s heart. Raise your arms and let God win this battle for you. Don’t be trying to doing it on your own or you will lose.
The raising of your arms is acknowledgment, submission, shows faith, in the one Whom is in charge. He wants your heart. Give to Him and have victory.
