In 2 Chronicles 20, Jehosephat was called to battle. He was a good king who made right decisions and knew what to pray… until he aligned with someone who believed differently than him. They pulled him down instead of him pulling them up. In the middle of the fight, he remembered he wasn’t in the battle by himself and he cried out to God .
Sometimes we engage in battles that we don’t need to be in. There is a way we can fight and we don’t even have to move at all. We can be still and not say a word because angels are moving on our behalf. Sometimes we get in battles we shouldn’t have been in, but God is still with us in the battle. Our cries have power and our breakthroughs won’t happen until we open our mouth and admit that we don’t know what we are doing. He can tap into what is depressing us, shrinking us and breaking us down. Jehosephat was living the right way and battle came to him. When battles come to you , you have a decision to make and that is to Trust God. Trust God to show you what you need to know in this battle.
2 Chronicles 20:15 …..This is what the Lord says to you: ‘Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army. For the battle is not yours, but God’s.
This battle is not about YOU! It is about what God is doing on the inside of you. STOP asking why me… It’s about God and how He can overflow and increase inside of you. When the Holy Spirit dwells inside of you, you fight differently.
You can’t ignore the attacks when you have the power to end them. Go down and attack. Go down against fear.
2 Chronicles 20:22 As they began to sing and praise, the Lord set ambushes against the men of Ammon and Moab and Mount Seir who were invading Judah, and they were defeated.
It’s something about Praise and Worship that send ambushes to the enemy. Praise and Worship must compete with your brokenness. I encourage for you to pray that God kills anything that is inside of you that would go to war with the destiny inside of you.
Be still while you are fighting. Verse 25 proves that you don’t even have to get your hands dirty. The treasure is waiting for you when the ambush is over. Praise during the ambush and recognize that this is the right way to fight.
