II
Chronicles 20 – War by Enemy Nations
Jehoshaphat
was told that a great multitude was coming against him from beyond the sea on
the side of Syria. Jehoshaphat is afraid. He goes to God in prayer and sends
word out to his people to join him in fasting and prayer.
Jehoshaphat,
knowing what God has promised in the past and what God has done in the past,
now rests upon the promises of God. He goes over this entire situation in his
prayer to God and then he concludes his prayer.
He
casts himself entirely upon God in a helpless situation.
Jahaziel
is now God’s spokesman, and he says, “Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of
this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God’s.
The
secret of prayer is to go to God in faith.
Jehoshaphat
encourages his troops to put their trust in the Lord. The Lord gave them their
victory. He won the battle for them.
It
is God who gives rest and peace. Our nation hasn’t learned that. We think that
if we make this kind of alignment, this kind of treaty, we won’t have to fight
in a war. We have fought two world wars to bring peace in the world and all we
have is war. Our world is not trusting the Prince of Peace.
Please
read the chapter listed so that you can understand God’s Word better.
