The Jehoshaphat Guide To Victory
God tells King Jehoshaphat that his army is to go into battle led by singers, praising and worshiping Him. The enemy comes with weapons, shields, and chariots, but the army of Israel comes out singing, praising and worshiping God. Imagine going into battle against heavily armed people ready to kill you and you have nothing but songs and your faith. So what happened? The armies that came against them became confused and ended up destroying themselves. God's people did nothing but worship Him. Praise and worship isn't just a nice thing, it's a powerful weapon. Do you want to win your battle, beat the enemy in triumph, and come out of that problem stronger than ever? Praise and worship the King! It's more powerful than all the strategies in the world. Get out your voice and instruments and praise Him even in the battle - especially in the battle! Then the enemy won't know what to do and you will end up being victorious - as victorious as the army, or worship band, of Jehoshaphat.

Today's Mission
Face your battles today with the praise and worship of God on your lips and let Him confuse your enemies.

2 Chronicles 20:15
15 And he said, Hearken ye, all Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, and thou king Jehoshaphat, Thus saith the Lord unto you, Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God's.
Then Jahaziel was moved by the Spirit of God to speak from the midst of the congregation. (Jahaziel was the son of Zechariah, the son of Benaiah, the son of Jeiel, the son of Mattaniah the Levite of the Asaph clan.) He said, “Attention everyone—all of you from out of town, all you from Jerusalem, and you King Jehoshaphat—God’s word: Don’t be afraid; don’t pay any mind to this vandal horde. This is God’s war, not yours. Tomorrow you’ll go after them; see, they’re already on their way up the slopes of Ziz; you’ll meet them at the end of the ravine near the wilderness of Jeruel. You won’t have to lift a hand in this battle; just stand firm, Judah and Jerusalem, and watch God’s saving work for you take shape. Don’t be afraid, don’t waver. March out boldly tomorrow—God is with you.”

Have a blessed day and week.
May Yeshua Hamashiach bless you,
