Defeat Your Midianites!
Prayers 1. Familiar problems your end has come today, expire in the name of Jesus. 2. Close-by troubles, afflictions staring me in the face, your end has come, scatter in the name of Jesus.
Text: Judges 6 Midian Oppresses Israel 1And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD: and the LORD delivered them into the hand of Midian seven years. 2And the hand of Midian prevailed against Israel: and because of the Midianites the children of Israel made them the dens which are in the mountains, and caves, and strong holds. 3And so it was, when Israel had sown, that the Midianites came up, and the Amalekites, and the children of the east, even they came up against them; 4And they encamped against them, and destroyed the increase of the earth, till thou come unto Gaza, and left no sustenance for Israel, neither sheep, nor ox, nor ass. 5For they came up with their cattle and their tents, and they came as grasshoppers for multitude; for both they and their camels were without number: and they entered into the land to destroy it. 6And Israel was greatly impoverished because of the Midianites; and the children of Israel cried unto the LORD.
Numbers 22 Balak Summons Balaam 1And the children of Israel set forward, and pitched in the plains of Moab on this side Jordan by Jericho. 2And Balak the son of Zippor saw all that Israel had done to the Amorites. 3And Moab was sore afraid of the people, because they were many: and Moab was distressed because of the children of Israel. 4And Moab said unto the elders of Midian, Now shall this company lick up all that are round about us, as the ox licketh up the grass of the field. And Balak the son of Zippor was king of the Moabites at that time. 5He sent messengers therefore unto Balaam the son of Beor to Pethor, which is by the river of the land of the children of his people, to call him, saying, Behold, there is a people come out from Egypt: behold, they cover the face of the earth, and they abide over against me: 6Come now therefore, I pray thee, curse me this people; for they are too mighty for me: peradventure I shall prevail, that we may smite them, and that I may drive them out of the land: for I wot that he whom thou blessest is blessed, and he whom thou cursest is cursed. 7And the elders of Moab and the elders of Midian departed with the rewards of divination in their hand; and they came unto Balaam, and spake unto him the words of Balak.
Who are the Midianites?
Excerpts from Wikipedia Midian (/ˈmɪdiən/; Hebrew: מִדְיָן Mīḏəyān [mid.jaːn]; Arabic: مَدْيَن, romanized: Madyan; Greek: Μαδιάμ, Madiam)[a] is a geographical place mentioned in the Hebrew Bible. William G. Dever states that biblical Midian was in the "northwest Arabian Peninsula, on the east shore of the Gulf of Aqaba on the Red Sea", an area which he notes was "never extensively settled until the 8th–7th century B.C."[1] According to the Book of Genesis, the Midianites were the descendants of Midian, who was a son of Abraham and his wife Keturah: "Abraham took a wife, and her name was Keturah. And she bare him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah" (Genesis 25:1–2, King James Version).[2]
· Midian is the son of Abraham Genesis - 25:2-4, 1 Chronicles 1:32-46. · Joseph was sold to the Midianites - Genesis 37:28, 36. · Moses married a woman of Midian - Exodus 2:15-16, 3:1, 4:19; 18:1. · Moses lived in Midian after he ran away from Egypt - Exodus 2:15, 21. · Moses received his assignment from God close to Midian at Mount Horeb - Exodus 3. · Caused Israel to sin Numbers - 25:6-18, 31:3-9; Josh 13:21. · Midianites warred against Israel - Judges 6:1-8:28, 9:17, Num 25:17; 31:2-7, Psalm 83:9
Midian is therefore the brother of Isaac the son of Abraham. Isaac and Median have the same Father – Abraham.
Isaac gave birth to Jacob, whose name was changed to Israel. Midian is therefore Israel’s uncle. The children of Midian would be cousins to Israel.
Today we will be praying against: · Familiar problems. · Close-by troubles: troubles staring you in the face. · Unrelenting problems and challenges. · Casting out any troubling spirit. · Defeating any “Midianitic” opposition.
Ø Your Midianite is an adversary who is close to you.
Ø You know your adversary and your adversary knows you, and yet continues to oppress antagonize and attacks you.
Ø Your Midianite is that power or person that wants to leave you without sustenance, that wants you to struggle to get the basics and wherewithal to get by.
When the Moab could not defeat, conquer or successfully attack the children of Israel, the King of Moab engaged the elders of Midian to advise him and give him the tools with which to destroy the children of Israel.
The enemy outside cannot operate successfully without the enemy within. It is the enemy who knows the individual in and out that can easily destroy that individual based on the information they possess.
You will not be destroyed in Jesus’ name.
Midian means strife.
Today, situations, powers and forces striving against you must give up in the name of Jesus.
The hand of Midian (strife) prevailed against Israel. The hand of your enemy will not prevail against you in Jesus’ name. It is a bad thing when the hand of your enemy, the power of your enemy is prevailing against you, and you are unable to do anything about it. This is called oppression. Knowing you are being punished for no just cause, you are suffering unjustly and there seems to be no end to the suffering or oppression. In Ecclesiastes 4:1 the Bible states: Then I looked again at all the acts of oppression which were being done under the sun. And behold, I saw the tears of the oppressed and that they had no one to comfort them; and power was on the side of their oppressors, but they had no one to comfort them. This is the kind of oppression that makes a wise person mad according to Ecclesiastes 7:7 Surely oppression maketh a wise man mad; and a gift destroyeth the heart. Our God is the One who delivers from oppression. The Bible states in Psalm 10:18 that: You will bring justice to the orphans and the oppressed, so mere people can no longer terrify them. And in Psalm 146:7 that: He executes justice for the oppressed and gives food to the hungry. The LORD sets the prisoners free, In Judges 6:2 the Bible states that because of the Midianites the children of Israel made them the dens which are in the mountains, and caves, and strong holds. The children of Israel, God’s special people were now hiding in dens, caves and other places. They were no longer being seen. They could not hold up their heads in public. They were not shining any longer. Anything or any power that is making you to hide when you should be shining shall melt away today in the name of Jesus. The Bible stated further that: 3And so it was, when Israel had sown, that the Midianites came up, and the Amalekites, and the children of the east, even they came up against them; 4And they encamped against them, and destroyed the increase of the earth, till thou come unto Gaza, and left no sustenance for Israel, neither sheep, nor ox, nor ass. The harvests, produce, rewards of labor of the Israelites were being taken over by others. Israel labored, they were not able to eat out of the rewards of their labor, others were benefitting and eating their harvest, shining with their efforts and worse still destroying their efforts. Whatever has been destroying your efforts will give way and give up today in the name of Jesus. The positive and beneficial rewards of your labor and efforts will begin to come to you in Jesus’ name. You will no longer be hidden; you will arise and shine in Jesus name. The Bible further stated that: . 5For they came up with their cattle and their tents, and they came as grasshoppers for multitude; for both they and their camels were without number: and they entered into the land to destroy it. 6And Israel was greatly impoverished because of the Midianites; and the children of Israel cried unto the LORD The enemy came with its tent and pitched its tent in the land of Israel in preparation for a long-term stay. The enemy brought their cattle and camels to suck the life-giving water of Israel dry. Every power sucking life out of you shall perish in the name of Jesus. Every power sucking your nutrients and resources shall melt away today in the name of Jesus. In V6, the Bible states that the children of Israel were greatly impoverished because of the Midianites. Every power that has or wants to push you into poverty shall die in the name of Jesus. Come out of poverty and impoverishment in the name of Jesus. Receive a seven-fold recovery of good things you have lost in the name of Jesus. Lastly from Numbers 22, it was the elders of Midian, - the uncle of Israel, that was helping the enemies of Israel find a way to destroy Israel.
Wicked elders seeking for a way to destroy you shall fail and be disgraced in the name of Jesus.
Unrelenting wicked elders shall perish after the order of Balaam in the name of Jesus.
