Ex. 17:10-11
“So Joshua did as Moses told him, and fought with Amalek; and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill. Whenever Moses held up his hand, Israel prevailed; and whenever he lowered his hand, Amalek prevailed. But Moses’ hands grew weary; so they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat upon it, and Aaron and Hur held up his hands, one on one side, and the other on the other side; so his hands were steady until the going down of the sun.”
This was a holy war. You can go back and look at the principles of a holy war in Deu. 20:1-20. We see two fights going on here, the physical fight by Joshua, and the spiritual fight by Moses. Both were needed. In this fight we fight both are needed. Sometimes we are physically engaged, sometimes spiritually engaged for another. At all times we are in prayer.
Moses had family around him as they held up his arms. We must take care who we have around us. In a war armies fight to win. We don’t fight for the victory, we fight from the victory already won by Jesus on the cross. I hear Hezekiah Walker, “You pray for me, I’ll pray for you, I love you, I need you to survive.” enough for now
