Powering UP America!

Key Scripture:  “...here they are, rewarding us “by coming to throw us out of Your possession which You have given us to inherit.  O our God, will You not judge them?  For we have no power against this great multitude that is coming against us; no do we know what to do, but our eyes are on You.”  II Chronicles 20:11,12

Power Point:

     So what’s the point? Have you ever asked yourself that? What’s the point of continuing to try to believe God for divine intervention when everything seems to be in shambles?  What’s the point of praying or declaring or trying to talk to others about the power of God over this nation when they will just think you’re crazy?

     Beloved, here’s the point!  The enemy surrounded the nation of Israel. King Jehoshaphat was a great leader. He knew where to get help. As he goes before the Lord, He begins to remind Him, (and himself) of God’s power for His children. It went something like this:

The BAD news:

A great multitude is coming against us.

The Strategy:

Jehoshaphat feared and set himself to seek the Lord. He proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah.

These are his words:

You gave us this land and now they are coming to throw us out of YOUR possession, which You have given us to inherit?

Will YOU not judge them?

OUR EYES ARE ON YOU!

The GOOD News:

This is not your battle, it is the Lord’s. Position yourselves, stand still and see His salvation. He is with you. Don’t fear or be dismayed, go out against them.  Believe in Him and in His word and you shall be established.

The GREAT News:

When they began to sing and praise-the Lord set ambushes against the enemy. They turned on one another and no one escaped.

The GREATEST News:

They return with joy for the Lord had made them to rejoice over their enemies.

Is He not still God? Is He not still our Savior, our Rescuer, our Deliverer? Isn’t He the one who has given us victory in establishing a free nation? Yes, My friend, He is. And it’s not over until He says its over. And it’s not over in His mind until the victory is secure and His people, who have called on His name have seen Him answer and save.

     In Malachi 3:16, it says, “those who feared the Lord spoke to one another, and the Lord listened and heard them.”  What will you say today?  Will you remind yourself and those who love Him that He is a stunning provider, an awesome Warrior, and a Mighty God who acts on behalf of those who rejoice as they wait for Him? Remember, you are deciding and declaring your agreement with what God says, not what the world says. Remember, we walk by faith and not by sight. And that's the whole point.

Powering UP Prayer for America:

David Preparing For Battle

Father, I am so grateful that You are still God. I am so grateful that You never forget us; That our faces are inscribed on the palms of Your hands. Thank You that because of Your care for Your children, we live a blessed life, not a cursed one. We are the head and not the tail. Your words, Your character, Your passionate love for Your people are the things that set us free. We decide and declare that You are still God and You still act on behalf of those who eagerly wait for you, who believe in Your word, and there are no giants too big that You cannot destroy them. Thank You that we will return with joy as You make us to rejoice over our enemies.Thank You that we are never between a rock and a hard place, we are always standing on the Rock.

Let Your Truth keep marching on!

In Jesus Name.  Amen!
