Rephidim

As told in TPM CHURCH, ROYAPETTA 31-MAY-2009 SUNDAY SERVICE

Exodus 17:8-9 (King James Version)

"Then came Amalek, and fought with Israel in Rephidim.And Moses said unto Joshua, Choose us out men, and go out, fight with Amalek: tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the rod of God in mine hand."
Here the verse speak about the fight between Amalek and how Israel overcome them.

The word Rephidim means 'Rest'. But the spirit of Amalake will try to take away the rest from you.In our todays life Amaleks' are some kind of spirit which will hinder us in the progress of our spiritual life.They will not allow us to reach canan and they will also kill those people who were left behind because of tiredness.Until we have oversome this spirit, we cannot reach our spiritual canan.

Today we will meditate 5 things about Amalek.

The spirit of sin: 1 Samuel 15:18 (King James Version)
"And the LORD sent thee on a journey, and said, Go and utterly destroy the sinners the Amalekites, and fight against them until they be consumed."
In the life of a saved child of God there will be struggle against sins in life and against faith in life. This is the work of Amalek spirit and as said in Hebrews 12:4 "Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin."
We have to fought against it.

The spirit of blocking the way: 1 Samuel 15:2 (King James Version)
"Thus saith the LORD of hosts, I remember that which Amalek did to Israel, how he laid wait for him in the way, when he came up from Egypt.
This shows these spirit will be blocking on the way of child of God to heaven.

The spirit with No Fear of God:Deuteronomy 25:18 (King James Version)
"How he met thee by the way, and smote the hindmost of thee, even all that were feeble behind thee, when thou wast faint and weary; and he feared not God." In Psalm 36:1"The transgression of the wicked saith within my heart, that there is no fear of God before his eyes."

The spirit of Killing the weary people :Deuteronomy 25:18 (King James Version)
"How he met thee by the way, and smote the hindmost of thee, even all that were feeble behind thee, when thou wast faint and weary; and he feared not God."
It shows the power of backsliding

The spirit of taking the Crown:2 Samuel 1:10 (King James Version)
"So I stood upon him, and slew him, because I was sure that he could not live after that he was fallen: and I took the crown that was upon his head, and the bracelet that was on his arm, and have brought them hither unto my lord."
The crown reveals overcoming life. The spirit of Amalake are looking to take away your crown.

How can we overcome Amalake?
4 people have to be there to overcome the spirit of Amalake
Joshua, Moses, Aron and Hur
They are the 4 symblolic of prayer life.
1 Timothy 2:1 "I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;"

Moses shows prayer
Aron, the High priest shows intercessions
Hur belongs to the tribe of Juda and shows praising, thanks giving to God
Joshua who is in the battle field shows supplications

May Lord God help you to have Rephidim, Rest in your life
