Take-Aways
Disciplined prayer focuses bring us into an alignment with Gods will in heaven. Therefore, our mind, which is in enmity with God (Romans 8), realigns its way of thinking with Gods thinking. We begin to have the same vocabulary that God has in heaven. Consequently, our conversation on earth is aligned with His will. When we are in agreement with Him and confessing the will of God, the harmony of heaven is reflected in the earth realm. In Chronicles 12:32 we find this verse, The sons of Issachar, who had understanding of the times to know what Israel ought to do, their chiefs were 200; and all their brethren were at their command. This verse is listed in the context of describing the growth of Davids army. Issachar knew that this was a season of changing governments. Therefore, they were at a decisive crossroad where the path they chose would determine their alliance in the wars ahead. Saul had begun in the anointing of the Lord but ended by operating in the flesh and aligning himself with the power of witchcraft. David was entering into the third anointing season which released him into his full kingship. This gave him territorial covenant jurisdiction in the earth. This is a key apostolic type that we must understand today. The Lord is restoring Davids tabernacle in the earth realm. This means we are entering into a new dimension of His presence and worship. However, it also means we are entering into a new place of covenant conflict. Passivity and introspection must leave us and we must arise with a focus of victory and advancement! Our nation has professed to be a Christian nation. That means we are grafted into the vine of Abrahams covenant. This covenant was fulfilled and made available to us by the Lord Jesus Christ going to the cross. This covenant is now being severely tested. The anti-Christ

If you turn away from the Sabbath, from doing your pleasure on My holy day, and call the Sabbath a delight, the holy day of the Lord honorable, and shall honor Him, not doing your own ways, nor finding your own pleasure, nor speaking your own words, then you shall delight yourself in the Lord; and I will cause you to ride on the high hills of the earth, and feed you with the heritage of Jacob. (Isaiah 58:13-14) Also I gave them My Sabbaths to be a sign between Me and them. (Ezekiel 20:12) One of the enemys key strategies in warfare is to disrupt your abiding place. The Sabbath is linked with the abiding place of God. Therefore, if we get out of rest even in times of war we can make wrong decisions that can keep Gods blessings from manifesting. In Jewish culture there is a prayer called Havdala that is prayed at the end of Sabbath. It means difference. The prayer distinguishes between sacred (Shabbat) and the profane (the other six days). During this prayer a cup is filled to overflowing with wine as a symbol that the Shabbat blessings will spill into the week ahead. The enemy hates the thought of us obeying Gods covenant plan of rest and walking in the Lords blessings throughout the week. This is why he was and is attacking through evil anti-Christ systems in the earth. Shabbat is the heart of Gods covenant plan. We find this in the Ten Commandments, and we find the principle of rest all the way through the New Testament. Victory belongs to God. It is His to bestow. Victory for us is only assured when we are operating in the will and timing of God in the earth realm. If the Church does not find their firm footing at this time, we will see civil government moving outside of Gods timing. Daniel 7:25 says, he shall speak pompous words against the Most High, shall persecute the saints of the Most High, and shall intend to change times and law. The number 17 in Hebrew means victory. For the next 17 days, diligently seek Gods victory. o Day 1: Pray for the people that have been placed in positions of authority in our nation to be patient and hear God (Romans 13). If they subject themselves to Gods sovereign authority, they will advance in His timing and establish His security over this nation.

We must find rest even in time of war
