Thank God for Fighting Our Battle
King Jehoshaphat knows that
the key to spiritual revival in the
nation is a renewed interest in and
commitment to the law of the Lord.
He institutes a nationwide Scripture
study program which God richly
blesses with peace and prosperity.
In contrast to his predecessors,
Jehoshaphat manages to make
peace with the king of Israel.
But a friendly visit nearly costs
his life as he becomes entangled
in a war between Israel and Syria.
Lord, praise U for Yr Mighty Power:
Then some pple told Jehoshaphat:
A great multitude is coming against
you from Syria… And Jehoshaphat
feared, proclaimed a fast and stood
in the assembly of Judah in the
house of the Lord and said: O God,
are You Not God of heaven & do
You Not Rule over all the nations so
that No One is able to Withstand U?
Are You Not our God, who drove
out the inhabitants of this land
and gave it to the descendants
of Abraham forever?…We will stand
before this temple and cry out to
You in our affliction, and You will
hear and save… For we have no
power against this great multitude
that is coming against us; nor do
we know what to do; but our eyes
are Upon You (2Chr 20:2-12) Amen.
Then the Spirit of the Lord came
upon Jahaziel, a Levite of sons of
Asaph in the midst of the assembly
And he said: Listen, all u of Judah
…. and you King Jehoshaphat!
Thus says the Lord to you:
Do not be afraid nor dismayed,
for the battle is Not Yours, but
God’s… You will not need to fight
in this battle. Position yourself,
stand still and see the salvation
of the Lord! (v14-17). Amen.
Lord, all praise to You for power
and might are in Your hand and
You have everything in control.
Even as You assisted Jehoshaphat
in a mighty victory, surely You can
keep me from falling and present
me before Your glorious presence
without fault and with great joy!
And to You Lord God my Saviour,
be all glory, majesty and power,
both now & forevermore, Amen.
Lord, You have more power than
anyone or anything in the world.
And You are mighty to secure me
against any threat to my security.
Lord I praise and thank You for
You are able & willing to present
me without fault. For You God put
my wretchedness on Christ Jesus;
and see me through Christ Jesus.
I ascribe to You all glory & majesty,
all power and authority. Amen.
In heavenly armour
we’ll enter the land
The battle belongs to the Lord.
No weapon that’s fashioned
against us shall stand
The battle belongs to the Lord.
We sing glory and honor
Power & strength to the Lord (x2)
When your enemy presses
in hard do not fear
The battle belongs to the Lord.
Take courage my friend,
your redemption is near
The battle belongs to the Lord.
We sing glory and honor
Power & strength to the Lord. Amen
