THE BATTLE IS NOT YOURS

“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.” 2 Chronicles 20:15 (KJV)

The Spirit of the Lord came upon Jahaziel, a Levite, and he began to tell them about the battle. He said the battle belongs to God. In other words, God has taken over the battle, and He doesn’t lose any battle.

Beloved, God loves you so much that He won’t allow the devil to destroy you. What the enemy is planning has been taken care of by God. The strategy of the enemy will never prosper against you. The battle is not yours. So, like Jehoshaphat, begin to praise God because you already know the outcome before the battle begins.

God knows where the enemy is! God knows where the challenge is! God knows where the business is. And He knows how to turn the business around. He knows how to give you rest. And when you are resting, you will see the salvation of the Lord. Your fear will begin to fear you!

Don’t fret! Don’t be overwhelmed by anxiety! You shall not need to fight. The battle is the Lord’s. Stop looking at your circumstances and begin to look at the ‘Bigness’ of your God. He will not fail you! You will give birth to new things. The long outstanding challenges will turn around overnight. Your story is changing. Whatever has broken down others, will not break you down. You shall be relevant for all seasons.

Those who have been laughing at you will laugh and celebrate with you. Your children will not become vagabonds. They are the seeds of the righteous; therefore, they shall be mighty upon the earth. You will walk in Dominion. You will not fight the demons of your father. Your part is to believe what He has spoken. When you believe, there shall be a performance.
