SPIRITUAL SEASONS Part 4: The Prophetic Word

PROPHETIC WORD
Jacob's prophetic utterance to his son Issachar gives us great insight into Issachar’s calling and anointing.

"Issachar is a strong donkey, Lying down between two burdens; He saw that rest was good, And that the land was pleasant; He bowed his shoulder to bear a burden, And became a band of slaves." Genesis 49: 14-15

• Strong in character
• Shouldered burdens
        o Shoulders represent realms of authority & responsibility.
• Walked in difficult places
• Rested in the LORD-no striving (the secret place)
• Had a vision for the land (harvest field)
• Humble servant

SONS OF Issachar
Looking at Jacob's prophecy, the Issachar anointing is something we need to operate in for our troubled times. SONS OF Issachar were mighty warriors, fruitful, under grace, wise, full of knowledge and had an acute gifting to perceive or discern times, seasons and strategies.

Of the tribe of Issachar were sealed twelve thousand. Revelation 7:7 KJV

In Revelation 7:7 the tribe of Issachar is mentioned one last time as being sealed. That seal is a protection from God's wrath. We too are sealed with the Holy Spirit and can rest in the LORD that we are protected just like the SONS OF Issachar.
As we read in Ecclesiastes 3, everything has its time and purpose under heaven.

Moving in the Issachar anointing during these difficult times will help us to reach our world for Jesus Christ. The world is fearful, without hope and confused. They are unable to discern the times or seasons they need the grace of an Issachar flow to show them the way.

So, what time is it? It's your time; it's your season! Seize that Kairos time of an Issachar anointing and walk in it!
