“... Jehoshaphat feared, and set himself to seek the Lord, and proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah.”
~ 2 Chron. 20:3
Warfare deals with the “activities involved in war or conflict!” There is a Spiritual Warfare being waged in our world today. Spiritual Battles rages in Christianity, as wickedness is on the rise. Again I feel that God‘s people, we must rise to the occasion and war against the forces of evil knowing we have an Almighty God who sees our battles and He will bring forth the Victory. In Last week’s Message we were reminded of who our Captain is as we are in these battles. Does our heart burn within us as we recognize this Powerful statement? “For it became God, to make the Captain of our Salvation perfect through Jesus Sufferings,” Not only do we have a Captain, we have a Great High Priest, a Good Shepherd, a Chief Shepherd and a Bishop of our soul! Jesus is all in all! No matter the Invasion of the enemy, Jesus is beside us and He dwells in us! While our world is experiencing an Invasion from Hell, God is Greater and as we read in Scripture we know the “Battle belongs to Him!” Our dependence is upon the Almighty God who send His Only Begotten Son to Redeem humanity and now we wait in great expectation for His Return. Today’s Message come from 2 Chronicles Chapter 20. A Great Invasion was about to take place against God’s people. The Moabites, Ammonites and a great multitude of people had gathered beyond the sea on this side of Syria against Judah. Jehoshaphat sets himself to seek the Lord and calls for a fast! There are some important things that transpire in this Chapter that could be a great help to us as we face the challenges of our Day. As Judah gathers together, Scripture tells us that out of all the cities of Judah they came to seek the Lord! Think what would happen if all True Christianity came together to seek the Lord! But alas we are divided by all sorts of things and especially in this season of a plaque as the Body of Christ at large seems to have separated. So we see Judah came together to seek the Lord! Consider Jehoshaphat’s Prayer: 2 Chronicles 20:6 “O Lord God of our fathers, art not thou God in heaven? and rulest not thou over all the kingdoms of the heathen? and in thine hand is there not power and might, so that none is able to withstand thee?” His Prayer ends with “...neither know we what to do: but our eyes are upon Thee! O may we be found with our eyes upon Him in this hour! Loving you, Pastor
