Hearing God In 2 Chron 20 (Jun 21)

God Speaks Through Prophets

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, You do Speak thro Prophets:
Jehoshaphat said: we have no
power against this great multitude..
nor do we know what to do; but our
eyes are Upon You (2 Chron 20:12)
Then the Spirit of the Lord came
upon Jahaziel a Levite. And he said:
Listen, all u of Judah…and you King
Jehoshaphat! Thus says the Lord:
Do not be afraid… for the battle
is Not Yours, but God’s… Position
yourself, stand still and see the
salvation of the Lord! (v14-17).
And Jehoshaphat said: Believe in
the Lord your God & you shall be
established; believe His prophets,
and you shall prosper (v20). Amen

Lord, praise You for mighty power
and You have everything in control.
And You are mighty to secure me
against any threat to my security.
Even as You assisted Jehoshaphat
in a mighty victory, surely You
are absolutely able and willing to
sustain and keep me from falling.
And I ascribe to You all majesty &
glory, all power and authority. Amen

Lord, make clear what You are
saying thro Your prophets & people
And if I err in understanding You,
may it be on the side of belief
rather than on mere skepticism.
Give me the boldness to take
steps of faith. Help me to be
discerning without overanalysing.
Help me trust Your ability to lead.
And Show me the path to success
in all Your purposes so that I can
proceed with confidence. 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
