As I listened to the LORD this week, He brought to mind a clear exhortation, meant to help you take possession of the new things God is giving you this season. This exhortation appears in the Bible in both negative and positive forms. It comes as a warning and as a promise. Isaiah prophesies the warning to King Ahaz in 734 BCE, saying, “If you do not stand firm in faith, you will not stand at all.” (Isaiah 7:9, NIV) 100 years later, Jahaziel and King Jehoshaphat echo Isaiah's prophecy as a promise, saying, “Have faith in the LORD your God, and you will be upheld; have faith in His prophets, and you will be successful.” (2 Chronicles 20:20, NIV) These exhortations, both containing the same play on words in Hebrew, are repeated in other biblical passages as well. To understand their significance, we need to examine the contexts in which they are given. Last week, I had the privilege of talking with our South Carolina House of Prayer leader, Angie Woodard, on her new "RELENTING WARRIOR" Podcast. We talked about Esther, David, and what it means to be a modern-day warrior for Jesus. Tune in to our 20-minute conversation on Apple, iHeart, Spotify, or your favorite podcast channel today!
