Javelin throwing

Uni-verse 229/10,000 For better through verse Numbers 25 v 7
Num 25:7 And when Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he rose up from among the congregation, and took a javelin in his hand;


Last evening in a time of prayer, the Lord flashed His light on this verse. He said that we must take the javelin and throw it. The javelin is a metaphor for the Word of God. He said, " Apply the Word of God in every situation. " Applying the Word of God means to write down a specific('rhema") verse that applies in a particular situation or speaks to our spirits and pray for its operation or fulfillment in our lives. Like Phenahas, we belong to the house of Aaron. We are as Levites. As priests of the Most High God, when we pray specifically with a specific verse, His judgement is executed on earth and in our lives. When we spread our sheet before God, He blesses our spreadsheet.

Saul used a javelin under the influence of an evil spirit to try to impale the young David. But, the Lord protected Him. The enemy may try throwing a barrage of javelins at us in different times of our lives. But, the Lord is our Rock of Escape as He was for David. The javelin in our hand is both a weapon of offence and defence. It is the " sword of His excellency" that Abraham spoke of.

Eleazar, the father of Phinehas had such a grip on his sword that it seemed to be fused into his hand. Similarly, the Word of God needs to be fused into our hand and all aspects of our lives. In normal times, it is the Shepherd's rod and staff to comfort, counsel, support and guide us. In war-like situations, it becomes a javelin in our hands that will pierce through our target.
