2 Chronicles 20

Multitudes do not win battles but praise worship wins battle. Praising God in truth and indeed will deliver victory regardless of numbers that are working against any believer that knows how to praise God. Once King Jehoshaphat of Judah was confronted by a battle that was bigger than what he could handle. ÒThen some came and told Jehoshaphat, saying, ÒA great multitude is coming against you from beyond the sea, from Syria; and they are in Hazazon TamarÓ (which is En Gedi). 3 And Jehoshaphat feared, and set himself to seek the LORD, and proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah.Ó (2 Chronicles 20:2-3) You do not need any announcement to understand that your battles are waiting out there for you everyday and every moment you step out. If you will seek God and trust Him enough as the Mighty warrior He will fight the battle for you. In seeking God, a message came for Jehoshaphat saying, ÒYou will not need to fight in this battle. Position yourselves, stand still and see the salvation of the LORD, who is with you, O Judah and Jerusalem! Do not fear or be dismayed; tomorrow go out against them, for the LORD is with you.Ó (2 Chronicles 20:17) At every time sincere and hearty praise worship is rendered unto God, His presence will take over and victory becomes undeniable. Jehoshaphat received the news with faith and he began to prepare his people for the battle by putting things into order. Praising God is the weapon while putting plans in order is the vehicle that will carry you to your battlefield. Where there is no orderliness disorder will rule and untimely death will reign. 2 Chronicles 20:21, ÒAnd when he had consulted with people, he appointed those who should sing to the LORD, and who should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army and were saying: Praise the LORD For His mercy endures forever. 22 Now when they began to sing and to praise, the Lord set ambushes against the people of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir, who had come against Judah; and they were defeated. In addition to praising the Lord, Jehoshphat put plans in order by his preparation and victory answered on their behalf.  In your everyday journey, be prepared for multitudes and mountains of challenges with your praise worship because it carries the presence of God. Psalm 22:3, ÒBut you are holy, Enthroned in the praises of Israel.Ó He is now enthroned in the praises of all that have accepted
