Warriors who
Rest
Rest, strength,
idols, unbelief
Dream last night
about the army of Babylon
Unbelief can
lead to idols and trusting in your own strength
Reasons why the
Promised Land isn't inherited….
Hebrews 3:19
Hebrews 4:10
Godly rest isn't napping; it’s leaning on Papa...For every breath and dwelling in His abode
Hebrew tradition
is that sleeping at night isn't to replenish from the day’s work but actually it’s how they start their day…their day starts in the night. They rest because it is
their strength for the morning.
When you war against
the enemy we have to trust God
Israel’s
timeline-
Slavery,
freedom, to unbelief, to creating an idol, to wandering, to doubting God in
battle, to oppression from Babylon
Babylon represents
people who trust in their abilities, who craft idols in their hearts, who
neglect leaning on God’s rest (meaning not using his strength), people who do
not have faith in which God is.
Revelation 18:7
As she glorified herself and lived in luxury,
so give her a like measure of torment and mourning,
since in her heart she says,
‘I sit as a queen,
I am no widow,
and mourning I shall never see.’
8 For this reason her plagues will come in a single day,
death and mourning and famine,
and she will be burned up with fire;
for mighty is the Lord God who has judged her.

She says that she is a queen and she is not a
widow…widow from who? The husband...Jesus.
What do we doubt
God in? What promises have we written off as broken dreams or unattainable
dreams? What Promised Land have we missed because we are wandering in unbelief?
Unbelief in healing? Unbelief in restoration? Unbelief in love? Unbelief in
your identity? Why have you stopped believing in the rain? The harvest? The
promises of our Father?
The next option
according to Habakkuk 2 and Isaiah 14 is to let God be your strength and then
raise up worship on high places (Habakkuk 3:19) and lift a taunt against Babylon!!
This taunt is
often done in a proverb or a song
Isaiah 12:2 (the
Lord is my strength and my song)
But woe to you who
attempt this in your own abilities, strength, or separated from God’s rest for
you will indeed become Babylon…Habakkuk 1:6-11
You either
become strong in God or strong in yourself.
This is not
discouraging...Its sobering but it’s awesome!
We can raise a
taunt against the enemy in Papa
Worship time and
war against unbelief, healing, doubt, depression, past hurts, idols,
