WHO IS GOD?
WHAT HAS GOD DONE?
WHAT WILL GOD DO?
In 2Chronicles 20 a war awaits with a great multitude rising up against Jehoshaphat and the nation. In SA we too stand amidst much turmoil.
We can learn from Jehoshaphat’s example. Yes he was afraid but it took him to God – he seeked God. Proclaimed a fast. All of Judah gathered together before the Lord and prayed.
Are we not in this pivotal time also gathering together as a Jehoshaphat army, seeking God, praying?
Jehoshaphat in prayer makes 3 declarations which can be summarized as:
ARE YOU NOT!
DID YOU NOT!
WILL YOU NOT!
ARE YOU NOT DECLARES: WHO GOD IS
DID YOU NOT: REMEMBERS ALL THAT GOD HAS DONE
WILL YOU NOT: DECLARES WHAT GOD WILL CAN DO AGAIN
In prayer we can just tarry at these three points and speak forth words of faith in who God is, what he has done, and will do again.
Did He not save us from Civil war in 1994? And so we can go on.
Jehoshaphat admits they have no power against the great power coming against them, and do not know what to do.
BUT
OUR EYES ARE UPON YOU
13 Now all Judah, with their little ones, their wives, and their children, stood before the Lord. (Read 2Chron20)
THE SPIRIT OF GOD then comes upon Jahaziel and he declares:
THE SPIRIT OF GOD IS UPON US. GOD PROMISES:
14 Then the Spirit of the Lord came upon Jahaziel … 15 And he said, “Listen,! Thus says the Lord to you: ‘Do not be afraid nor dismayed because of this great multitude, for the battle is not yours, but God’s. 17 You 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.”
WALK BY FAITH: WORSHIPPING BEFORE THE OUTCOME, AMIDST THE STORM
18 And Jehoshaphat bowed his head with his face to the ground, and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem bowed before the Lord, worshiping the Lord. 19 Then the Levites of the children of the Kohathites and of the children of the Korahites stood up to praise the Lord God of Israel with voices loud and high. 20b Believe in the Lord your God, and you shall be established; believe His prophets, and you shall prosper.
OBEDIENCE: UNREALISTIC – FAITH IRRESPECTIVE (David Goliath, Walls Jericho, Joseph, Esther, Jonah & Nineveh, Gideon)
21 And when he had consulted with the 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.”
WORSHIP OUR WARSHIP: THE BATTLE IS THE LORDS
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. 23 For the people of Ammon and Moab stood up against the inhabitants of Mount Seir to utterly kill and destroy them. And when they [e]had made an end of the inhabitants of Seir, they helped to destroy one another.24 So when Judah came to a place overlooking the wilderness, they looked toward the multitude; and there were their dead bodies, fallen on the earth. No one had escaped.
ANOTHER MIRACLE AMIDST WORSHIP & PRAYER
What happened in Act16 while Paul and Silas were imprisoned in chains?
25 But at midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them. 26 Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened and everyone’s chains were loosed.
We know the guard was so afraid and wanted to kill himself, but God not only saved him but he and his household were saved and baptized with great joy
Our worship is a mighty weapon of warfare. It makes no sense in the physical, but the word says
4 For the weapons of our warfare are not [a]carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, 5 casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, @Cor10:4-5
WE WIL WORSHIP
WE WILL PRAY & FAST
WE WILL SPEAK GOD’S WORD
WE WILL BELIEVE…..
5 Let the saints be joyful in glory;
Let them sing aloud on their beds.
6 Let the high praises of God be in their mouth,
And a two-edged sword in their hand,
7 To execute vengeance on the nations,
And punishments on the peoples;
8 To bind their kings with chains,
And their nobles with fetters of iron;
9 To execute on them the written judgment—
This honour have all His saints. Ps149
SOUTH AFRICA WE DECLARE THE WORD OF TRUTH OVER YOU
Let God arise,
Let His enemies be scattered;
Let those also who hate Him flee before Him.
2 As smoke is driven away, So drive them away;
As wax melts before the fire, So let the wicked perish at the presence of God.
3 But let the righteous be glad; Let them rejoice before God;
Yes, let them rejoice exceedingly.4 Sing to God, sing praises to His name;
Extol[a] Him who rides on the [b]clouds,
By His name [c]Yah, And rejoice before Him. Ps68:1-4

Worship as God leads you.
25.5.24 I prayed to God what is His word for us. I fell asleep and had this dream.
I was standing in a queue as at the elections. I was worshipping a song God impressed on my heart. YOURS IS THE KINGDOM, YOURS IS THE POWER, YOURS IS THE GLORY. On earth. I woke up with this song on my heart. I felt God was saying this is our Strategy South Africa. From early this year God has continually given this strategy to me and many other people. 2Chron20:1-29, Acts16:25:34. Eunice See dream below.
24.5.24 In an amazing dream God showed a prayer warrior how she was standing in the line to vote. She was singing You are worthy of it all. Then followed a wave…
I will post the dream.
Worthy of it all – Live – David Brymer
