2Chronicles 20:17 ‘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.’

Smith Wigglesworth was a 20th century Gospel minister, famous for amazing miracles, signs and wonders in his ministry.
In his book “Ever Increasing Faith’’, Wigglesworth recounted how he was called late one night to pray for a dying young girl whom doctors had given up on.
When he came and looked at her, he realized that unless God intervened it was impossible for her to live. Wigglesworth asked the mother and siblings of the dying girl to leave the room and go to bed. After they had left, he knelt by her bed side, and began to challenge death. He knew that God could change even the hardest situation and show Himself Mighty.
However, as Wigglesworth fought in prayer, it seemed as though there would not be an answer. After praying for more than four hours, rather than recover, the girl died. At that moment the devil said to him, “Now you are done for, the girl has died on your hands.”
But Wigglesworth said “It can’t be. God did not send me here for nothing. This is a time to change strength.”
He then remembered the Bible passage which said, “Men ought always to pray and not to faint.” Though death had taken place, yet he knew that God was all powerful, and would miraculously change the situation as he persisted in prayers.
Then at that moment, as he looked at the window he saw the face of Jesus appear. It seemed as though a million rays of light were coming from His face. As Wigglesworth looked back at the dead girl, he saw a miracle taking place, suddenly the color returned to her face. She rolled over and fell asleep. Wigglesworth had a glorious time praising and blessing God for giving him the victory.
In the morning the girl woke up early, put on a dressing gown and walked to the piano. She started to play and to sing a wonderful song. The family all came down and listened in amazement and wonder at God’s miracle working power that had raised the girl.
Anytime it seems you have come to the end of your own strength, don’t give up because it is not over yet! The battle is not yours but the Lord’s. Therefore continue to stand in faith despite how negative things may outwardly seem. When our faith in God’s Word remains steadfast, anything is possible.
In Jeremiah 32:27, God says ‘Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh. Is there anything too hard for Me?’
Certainly, nothing is too hard for God. There is no situation He cannot turn around, no mountain He cannot move and no miracle He cannot perform –
Truly, it is never over until God says so. The experts may have termed the case hopeless, but it is not too difficult for God. When God arises all enemies must be scattered.
Life is really a battle, you have to dig in your heels and refuse to quit. Through Christ Jesus, we are destined to triumph always and be more than conquerors.
We can have the dominion over any challenge through steadfast faith in God. Therefore refuse to be intimidated by the obvious facts. Acquire faith through feeding on relevant Scriptures, then persist in prayers and keep trusting God for a turnaround. God never fails. Even if the battle seems greater than you, continue to press forward in faith and keep giving God worthy praise.
When Jehoshaphat and his army faced enemies that were too strong for them, they experienced amazing victory through praising God.
God turned their battlefield into the Valley of Berachah. Berachah means “blessings.” It took them three days to gather all the spoils of war!
Whatever may be facing you today, as you stand in faith and keep praising God in the midst of the challenge, you will soon experience a divine reversal. God will turn that battle into a blessing and you will have supernatural victory and dominion.
PRAYER: Lord, I know indeed that You are able to do exceedingly abundantly above all I can ever ask or imagine. I therefore thank You today, for giving me the victory and dominion over every issue of concern in Jesus Name. .
