Exodus 17:8 & 11
(8) Then came Amalek, and fought with Israel in Rephidim.
(11) And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed: and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed.
Under the new covenant/testament, the lifting up of holy hands is symbolic of prayer. 1st Timothy 2:8 says:
I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands…
So what’s the lesson? No matter the battle of life, as long as your hands are up in prayer, you will prevail (just like Moses and Israel in the above scripture). However, if you bring your hands down (in other-words, if you stop praying), the adversary will prevail over you.
This means prayer gives you the upper hand in any battle of life. So keep it going, never relent and never give up until you win.
Meanwhile, a fundamental requirement for answered prayer is having a relationship with God the Father through His Son Jesus Christ. If you’re yet to have this relationship established, you can say a simple prayer to make that happen for you.
Please say the following prayer and mean it from your heart:
I believe that Jesus is the Son of God who came to die for my sins and I confess Him as Lord and Saviour. Thank you Lord for saving me.
Amen.
Congratulations! if you said that prayer. The Word of God says you are now a new creature and old things are passed away. All things are become new (2 Corinthians 5:17). In other-words, God will never call your past life (sins/faults) to remembrance. They are totally forgiven and forgotten. Check this:
I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins. (Isaiah 43:25)
For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more (Hebrews 8:12 )
