2 Chronicles 20:15 ‘Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God’s.”.

DAILY READING; • John 14:15-31; 2 Chronicles 21:2-22:12; Psalm 79

The Seven Years’ War (1756–1763) was a global conflict that involved most of the European great powers, and was fought primarily in Europe, the Americas, and Asia-Pacific.
Before this war began, the nations of Europe had formed fairly stable alliances that created a balance of power. However, after skirmishes between England and France, these two countries and their allies officially went to war.
The initial armed conflicts did not go well for Britain and by 1756 it seemed France was set to defeat Britain.
As a threatened invasion by the French army loomed, the king of Britain called for a day of solemn prayer and fasting. On that day many people fasted and went to the Churches to call upon God to deliver Britain.
The result of this national fasting and prayer was that the tide of the war turned to favor Britain. The threatened invasion by the French was averted and what had looked like eminent humiliation for Britain was turned into national rejoicing as they gained upper hand in the war, forcing France to abandon half of the British territory it had earlier conquered.

In 2 Chronicles 20 a terrifying coalition of enemies came against Judah and it seemed their defeat was eminent. However, King Jehoshaphat decided to seek God’s help and proclaimed a national day of fasting.
During this fast the Spirit of the Lord spoke to them saying ‘Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God’s.” [2 Chronicles 20:15].
God fought for them and by the next day they found that their enemies had destroyed one another and left behind a great spoil that took three days to gather.
When it seems we are faced with formidable battles, we can reposition ourselves for victory by handing over the battles to God. This we do by setting aside time to fast and pray and seek God’s help.
Surely, the battles of life are not ours but the Lord’s. The children of Judah did not lift any weapon, but through fasting, prayer and praise, God gave them the victory. Certainly, the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds.
When we fight through God’s help, our victory is certain.

In 1 Samuel 17:44-45 Goliath was threatening David with his great strength, mighty sword and spear. But David who understood spiritual warfare said to him ‘Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel…’

When David turned the battle over to God, indeed God arose and defeated Goliath.
Likewise, we must learn to let God fight for us. Our wrestle is not against flesh and blood but against spiritual wickedness in high places, and it is only through God’s power that they can be defeated.

As we fast, pray, study the Word and engage the weapon of praise, surely we will always overcome the adversaries to our greater open doors.

PRAYER: Lord, Thank You for the grace to always hand over my battles to you. I thank You for empowering me and repositioning me for constant victory over every challenge in Jesus Name.
