Today's topic is: Finding your Aaron & Hur Prayer Partners
Scripture: “Moses commanded Joshua, “Choose some men to go out and fight the army of Amalek for us. Tomorrow, I will stand at the top of the hill, holding the staff of God in my hand.” So Joshua did what Moses had commanded and fought the army of Amalek. Meanwhile, Moses, Aaron, and Hur climbed to the top of a nearby hill. As long as Moses held up the staff in his hand, the Israelites had the advantage. But whenever he dropped his hand, the Amalekites gained the advantage. Moses’ arms soon became so tired he could no longer hold them up. So Aaron and Hur found a stone for him to sit on. Then they stood on each side of Moses, holding up his hands. So his hands held steady until sunset. As a result, Joshua overwhelmed the army of Amalek in battle.” - Exodus 17:9-13

Have you felt overwhelmed with what it takes to write and publish a book?
In this episode of our Breakthrough series, CJ and I are going to help you as Kingdom Writers overcome this obstacle of overwhelm. What makes this series different than most training for writers is that we integrate the powerful combination of Scripture and prayer to help you breakthrough the obstacles holding you back.
Scriptures mentioned: Psalm 142: 2-3a, Psalms 142:2-3 TPT, Jonah 2:7 NLT, Luke 10:38-42
Then you will know the truth and the truth will set you free. (John 8:32)

**Encouragement From CJ**
Scripture:
“After all, who is Apollos? Who is Paul? We are only God’s servants through whom you believed the Good News. Each of us did the work the Lord gave us. I planted the seed in your hearts, and Apollos watered it, but it was God who made it grow. It’s not important who does the planting, or who does the watering. What’s important is that God makes the seed grow. The one who plants and the one who waters work together with the same purpose. And both will be rewarded for their own hard work. For we are both God’s workers. And you are God’s field. You are God’s building.” 1 Corinthians 3:5-9
Each of us has a role to play as God builds the Kingdom. As we write words (books, blog posts, social media, etc) we are scattering seed out into the world without knowing exactly what will become of it. But we can trust God to make it grow in His good timing. There are other times, we’re simply used in the watering what others have already planted.
Trust God to accomplish what He desires, even when we can’t always see the fruit in visible ways.
