Hushai

- Pastor Rusty - Nov. 22, 2024

“But David went up the ascent of the Mount of Olives, weeping as he went, barefoot and with his head covered. And all the people who were with him covered their heads, and they went up, weeping as they went.

And it was told David, “Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom.” And David said, “O LORD, please turn the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness.”

While David was coming to the summit, where God was worshiped, behold, Hushai the Archite came to meet him with his coat torn and dirt on his head. David said to him, “If you go on with me, you will be a burden to me. But if you return to the city and say to Absalom, ‘I will be your servant, O king; as I have been your father’s servant in time past, so now I will be your servant,’ then you will defeat for me the counsel of Ahithophel.”

King David is fleeing Jerusalem. His son Absolom has conspired against him to usurp his throne. David leave’s Jerusalem in a procession so that Jerusalem may be spared from the sword. While David is leaving by way of the Mount of Olives, he is told that his trusted counselor, Ahithophel, has defected and has joined himself to Absolom. David prays that God would turn the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness. Then God sends him a friend and councilor named Hushai. David asks Hushai to return to Jerusalem and align himself with Absolom to defeat the council of Ahithophel. Hushai does this very thing. Ahithophel is so disheartened that he returns home and puts his house in order and hanged himself.

“Holy Father, in this season defeat the unholy counsel of Ahithophel. Let “common sense” and the counsel of Hushai prevail against the haters of this nation. Surround President Trump with wise counselors who have an ear for heaven. Protect President Trump from the counsel of Ahithophel. Protect him from the Antichrist spirit that is prevalent in Washington D.C. surround him with heaven’s secret service, The Holy Cherithites of heaven. Give him a Benaniah, a Zadok, and a Prophet Nathan. Surround him with heaven’s council. Lead him in paths of righteousness for your namesake. In Jesus name…. Amen!” Pastor Rusty
