But Moses' hands were heavy; and they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat thereon; and Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun. - Ex 17:12 As Christians we are not just supposed to live like beasts that perish. The Kingdom of God has been given to us. Certain patterns must be observed in our lives and therefore if they need to be broken for our prosperity so be it. Israel saw it, that if Moses lowered his hands the enemy prevailed. In another instance the enemy of Israel thought that Israel only prevailed in the mountains therefore when they sought to fight them, they dragged them to the valley... They were trying to read certain patterns. We may have patterns in our lives, some we know when we speak a word of healing, someone will be healed! Some we know we have a gift of encouragement, some we know if I get involved the project will prosper because you're associated with prosperity. There are also patterns of limitations, which we need to observe and break, come up with strategies to wrestle them, as Aaron and Hur did.
