Sign or in Hebrew translation ‘ot’ is mentioned 78 times in the Old Testament. The rainbow, (Genesis 9:12-17) and the blood of the Passover Lamb (Exodus 12:13), and circumcision (Exodus 12:3) are all visible illustrations of something is an Agreement God made between His people. God struck Egypt 10 times and these are miraculous events called then and now signs.

David the Shepherd who became Anointed King over Israel after many trials and tests that occurred and made his becoming King look impossible asked for a “sign” to show His enemies that God had already confirmed him as anointed to be King even though this anointing had taken place in full view of the Priesthood and the family and many signs of deliverance that proved to his Adversaries God’s Sovereign choice. Therefore, David prayed again to ask for a sign and The LORD gave it to him in a mighty deliverance from King Saul who was slain along with his son Absalom who was pierced and hung on a tree during the battle.

David prayed offering praise and thanksgiving for God’s mercy and kindness to him as below in Psalm 86 and The LORD answered David in His Agreement with this sign.

Psalm 86 King James Version

86 Bow down thine ear, O Lord, hear me: for I am poor and needy.

² Preserve my soul; for I am holy: O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee.

³ Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I cry unto thee daily.

⁴ Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.

⁵ For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.

⁶ Give ear, O Lord, unto my prayer; and attend to the voice of my supplications.

⁷ In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee: for thou wilt answer me.

⁸ Among the gods there is none like unto thee, O Lord; neither are there any works like unto thy works.

⁹ All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord; and shall glorify thy name.

¹⁰ For thou art great, and do wondrous things: thou art God alone.

¹¹ Teach me thy way, O Lord; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name.

¹² I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I will glorify thy name for evermore.

¹³ For great is thy mercy toward me: and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell.

¹⁴ O God, the proud are risen against me, and the assemblies of violent men have sought after my soul; and have not set thee before them.

¹⁵ But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious, long suffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth.

¹⁶ O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; give thy strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid.

¹⁷ Show me a sign for good; that they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed: because thou, Lord, hast helped me, and comforted me.

The LORD teaches us His Way and will answer and show us a sign when we continue to offer the most precious offering that pleases Him which is our trust, and faith shown in worshipping Him as The One and only True Living God, “Yah” who sustains us.

This is a sign or token, or Angel or miracle or whatever The LORD chooses to send in answer to our prayers and petitions. It is a sign to our Adversary and his cohorts opposing our progress and promotion that they can read loud and clear! Remember, Our Father speaks softly, however, He carries a VERY LARGE ROD OF STRENGTH! to defend His Children.

As I waited for deliverance, I heard this Word of Knowledge from The Holy Spirit who is Our Helper:

“As you choose to turn and start to worship Me, I say that your prayers will be answered more swiftly because of Your attitude of faith and trust in Me to take up your cause.
