1 Ch 12:32 Of the sons of Issachar, men who understood the times, with knowledge of what Israel should do, their chiefs were two hundred; and all their kinsmen were at their command.

The sons of Issachar were intelligent men, who understood the signs of the times, well versed in political affairs, and knew what was proper to be done in all the exigencies of human life; and who now perceived that it was both the duty and political interest of Israel to advance David to the throne.Today we seek sons and daughters of Issachar, men and women who understand the times we are living in and know what is to be done in all the exigencies of human life to advance King Jesus to His throne.

Defeating the Enemy - A Call to Serious Spiritual Warfare

 

Defeating the Enemy – A Call to Serious Spiritual Warfare for our nation

(11-12-2020)

A prophecy for the true church today.

[Rev 3:7-13 NKJV] 7 "And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write, 'These things says He who is holy, He who is true, "He who has the key of David, He who opens and no one shuts, and shuts and no one opens": 8 "I know your works. See, I have set before you an open door, and no one can shut it; for you have a little strength, have kept My word, and have not denied My name. 9 "Indeed I will make [those] of the synagogue of Satan, who say they are Jews and are not, but lie--indeed I will make them come and worship before your feet, and to know that I have loved you. 10 "Because you have kept My command to persevere, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth. 11 "Behold, I am coming quickly! Hold fast what you have, that no one may take your crown. 12 "He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he shall go out no more. I will write on him the name of My God and the name of the city of My God, the New Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from My God. And [I will write on him] My new name. 13 "He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches." '

God has given the “key of David” to His church and opened a door that no one can shut. God is going to make those of the synagogue of Satan (those that serve Satan whether they do it knowingly or not) bow to those that God loves. God will also keep his true church from the trials that are coming upon the world. The Lord says that He is coming quickly! Time is short. We need to use the “keys of David” now! If we do not, we could lose our crown. The Spirit is speaking, are we listening?

So, what are the keys of David, and what door has the Lord opened that we are supposed to go through?

The story of King David’s troubles when his son tried to steal his throne from him is told in 2 Sam. Absalom was trying to take the throne from David. Absalom gathered a great many followers and with lies, deceit, and treachery convinced the people to declare “Absalom reigns in Hebron” (2 Sam 15:10). But David appealed to God for help and God responded as Absalom was caught supernaturally in a tree and ten killed by Joab, one of the commanders of David’s army. After this David’s rule was securely reestablished and secured.

What was the key that David used to deal with this insurrection? The key was David’s prayers as recorded in the Psalms. Today our “David” is President Trump. Some people are trying to steal his “throne”, the presidency of the USA. These people are those of the synagogue of Satan, who say they are patriots, but indeed, lie. They have gathered many followers and with lies, deceit, and treachery convinced some people to declare “Biden is president”.

Here is when God’s people must rise up and wage war against these evildoers. We rise up by praying David’s prayers against our enemies. These are warring prayers against God’s enemies. Warring prayers against those that would shed innocent blood, arrogant narcissists, liers, those that devise wicked plans, feet that are swift in running to evil, false witnesses, and those that sow discord (Pro 6:17-19).

Below are some scriptures that we need to be praying right now! We pray these with and for President Trump, his family, and his righteous associates who are warring for our nation.

It is time to call down judgment on the workers of evil, those of the synagogue of Satan, who say they are patriots and are not, but lie. These Psalms can be prayed in full but I have selected some specific verses that make good warring prayers. Remember, when Esther went before her king to plead for her people, she did so with great passion and travail. Let’s do the same!

Psalm1. The wicked will not endure the day of judgment,
for God will not defend them.
Nothing they do will succeed or endure for long,
for they have no part with those who walk in truth.

Psalm 2. How dare the nations plan a rebellion.
Their foolish plots are futile![a]

Look at how the power brokers of the world

rise up to hold their summit
as the rulers scheme and confer together
against Yahweh and his Anointed King, saying:

Psalm 3: I simply cry out to you:
“Rise up and help me, Lord! Come and save me!”
And you will slap them in the face,
breaking the power of their words to harm me.[f]

Psalm 9: He will issue his decrees of judgment,
deciding what is right for the entire world,
dispensing justice to all.
All who are oppressed may come to you as a

shelter in the time of trouble, a perfect hiding place.

He tracks down killers and avenges bloodshed,
but he will never forget the ones forgotten by others,
hearing every one of their cries for justice.

For the godless nations get trapped
in the very snares they set for others.
The hidden trap they set for the weak
has snapped shut upon themselves—guilty!
16 The Lord is famous for this: his justice will punish the wicked.

While they are digging a pit for others,
they are actually setting the terms for their own judgment.
They will fall into their own pit.

Make them tremble in fear before your presence.
Place a lawgiver over them.
Make them know that they are only puny, frail humans
who must give account to you!

Psalm 10: The arrogant in their elitist pride persecute the poor and helpless.
May you pour out upon them
the very evil they’ve planned against others!

Now is the time to arise, Lord! Crush them once and for all!
Don’t forget the forgotten and the helpless.
13 How dare the wicked think they’ll escape judgment,

believing that you would not
call them to account for all their ways.
Don’t let the wicked get away with their contempt of you!

Break the power of the wicked and all their strong-arm tactics.
Search them out and destroy them
for the evil things they’ve done.

Psalm 12: Everyone lies, everyone flatters, and everyone deceives.
Nothing but empty talk, smooth talk, and double-talk.
Where are the truthful?
3–4 I know the Lord will not deal gently with people like that!

You will destroy every proud liar who says, “We lie all we want.
Our words are our weapons, and we won’t be held accountable.
Who can stop us?”
May the Lord cut off their twisted tongues
and seal their lying lips.
May they all be silenced—those who boast and brag with their
high-minded talk about doing whatever they want.

Psalm 15: They will speak out passionately against evil and evil workers
while commending the faithful ones who follow after the truth.
They make firm commitments and follow through,
even at great cost.

Psalm 35: Humiliate those who seek my harm. Defeat them all!
Frustrate their plans to defeat me and drive them back.
Disgrace them all as they have devised their plans to disgrace me.
Blow them away like dust in the wind,

with the Angel of Almighty God driving them back!
Make the road in front of them nothing but slippery darkness,
with the Angel of the Lord behind them, chasing them away!
For though I did nothing wrong to them, they set a trap for me,
wanting me to fall and fail.
Surprise them with your ambush, Lord,
and catch them in the very trap they set for me.
Let them be the ones to fail and fall into destruction!

Psalm 56: Day after day cruel critics distort my words;
constantly they plot my collapse.
Lurking in the dark, waiting, spying on my movements in secret

to take me by surprise, ready to take my life.
They don’t deserve to get away with this!
Look at their wickedness, their injustice, Lord.
In your fierce anger cast them down to defeat.

Psalm 59: I’ve done nothing to deserve this,
yet they are already plotting together to kill me.
Arise, Lord, see what they’re scheming, and come and meet with me.
Awaken, O God of Israel!

Commander of Angel Armies,
arise to punish these treacherous people who oppose you!
Don’t go soft on these hardcase killers!

Don’t kill them; stagger them all with a vivid display of power.
And scatter them with your armies of angels,
O mighty God, our protector!
Use your awesome power to make them wanderers and vagabonds
and then bring them down.

May your wrath be kindled to destroy them; finish them off!
Make an end of them and their deeds until they are no more!
Let them all know and learn
that God is the ruler over Jacob,
the God-King over all the earth!

Psalm 64: Can’t you hear their slander, their lies?
Their words are like poison-tipped arrows
shot from the shadows.
They are unafraid and have no fear of consequences.
They set their traps against us in secret;

they strengthen one another, saying,
“No one can see us. Who can stop us?”
They’re nothing more than unruly mobs
joined in their unholy alliance,
searching out new opportunities to pervert justice—
deceivers scheming together their ill-conceived plot
as they plan the “perfect crime.”
How unsearchable is their endless evil,
trying desperately to hide the deep darkness of their hearts.
But all the while God has his own fire-tipped arrows!
Suddenly, without warning,
they will be pierced and struck down.
Staggering backward they will be destroyed
by the very ones they spoke against.
All who see this will view them with scorn.

Psalm 70: Please, Lord! Come quickly and rescue me!
God, show me your favor and restore me.
Let all who seek my life be humiliated, confused, and ashamed.

God, send them sprawling, all who wish me evil;
they just want me dead.
Scoff at every scoffer and cause them all to be utter failures!
Let them be ashamed and horrified over their complete defeat.
But let all who passionately seek you erupt with excitement and joy
over what you’ve done!
Let all your lovers, who continually rejoice in the Savior,[a]
say aloud, “How great and glorious is our God!”

Psalm 83: All your enemies are stirred up in an uproar!
They despise you, Lord.
In their defiant arrogance they rise up
to host their secret council against your people.
They conspire together to come and harm
your cherished ones—your hidden ones.

Blow them away, God, like straw in the wind,
like a tumbleweed in the wilderness!
14 Burn them up like a raging fire roaring down the mountainside;

consume them all until only charred sticks remain!
15 Chase them away like before a mighty storm and terrifying tempest.
16 O Lord, disgrace them until their faces fill with shame,
and make them acknowledge the glory of your name.
17 Make them utter failures in everything they do
until they perish in total disgrace and humiliation
18 so they will know that you, and you alone,
are Yahweh, the only Most High God exalted over all the earth!

Psalm 94: Lord God Almighty, you are the God
who takes vengeance on your enemies.
It’s time for you to punish evil!
Let your rays of revelation-light shine from your people and
pierce the conscience of the wicked and punish them.
It’s time to arise as judge of all the earth;

arise to punish the proud with the penalty they deserve!

It’s obvious to all; you will have nothing to do
with corrupt rulers who pass laws that empower evil
and defeat what is right.
21 For they gang up against the lovers of righteousness

and condemn the innocent to death.
22–23 But I know that all their evil plans will boomerang back onto them.
Every plot they hatch will simply seal their own doom.
For you, my God, you will destroy them,
giving them what they deserve.
For you are my true tower of strength,
my safe place, my hideout, and my true shelter.

Psalm 149:  Hallelujah! Praise the Lord!
It’s time to sing to God a brand-new song[a]

so that all his holy people will hear how wonderful he is!
May Israel be enthused with joy because of him,

and may the sons of Zion pour out
their joyful praises to their King.
Break forth with dancing!
Make music and sing God’s praises with the rhythm of drums!
For he enjoys his faithful lovers.
He adorns the humble with his beauty
and he loves to give them the victory.
His godly lovers triumph in the glory of God,
and their joyful praises will rise even while others sleep.
God’s high and holy praises fill their mouths,
for their shouted praises are their weapons of war!
These warring weapons will bring vengeance
on every opposing force and every resistant power—
to bind kings with chains and rulers with iron shackles.
Praise-filled warriors will enforce
the judgment-doom decreed against their enemies.
This is the glorious honor he gives to all his godly lovers.
Hallelujah! Praise the Lord!
