Rak Chazak

That was the battle cry with Joshua and his men; enemies they thus defied at the Promised Land. "Rak Chazak!" they roared! sent shivers down the spine; the multitude then crossed to fight within good time. Be strong and of good courage the meaning of this saying; we need Him in this Age far from fires flaming. David did the same running to Goliath; thus "Rak Chazak's" fame a pebble killed him yet! Now in modern times this battle cry employ; behind Enemies' lines the Christ with us destroy! Amen! "Rak Chazak" or "Chazak Amats" are mentioned as the battle cry when Joshua and the Israelites defeated their enemies as they entered the Promised Land. It basically means, "be strong and of good courage". Joshua 1:9 states: "Have i not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage, do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord thy God is with thee wherever you go." Amen!

Rak Chazak is new to me, and i found it only recently. it amazes me that this can mean so much to us in times as these. "be strong, and of good courage," is very timely too; so let's continue to pray the Lord to deliver us by day and night; and grant us the victory over Darkness till the Lord comes. Amen!
