There's actually power that 31 00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:31,100 comes from it. It's a weapon that we wage war 32 00:02:31,100 --> 00:02:35,000 fare with something changes in the atmosphere when we release 33 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:38,100 the word of God to song. And so that's what we're going 34 00:02:38,100 --> 00:02:43,900 to dive into today and the title of mine and sion's two-part. 35 00:02:43,900 --> 00:02:50,400 Sermon here is the battle belongs to You there it is. 36 00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:53,100 The Battle Belongs to You. Shout out Grace Rose for helping 37 00:02:53,100 --> 00:02:56,800 me with the title slide. So I want you to turn to your 38 00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,700 neighbor. You can hit the next slide and 39 00:02:59,700 --> 00:03:07,900 tell them my God is a great God. Watch him, prove it in your 40 00:03:07,900 --> 00:03:11,500 life.

Alright, next, slide So what we 45 00:03:29,300 --> 00:03:34,700 need to do church is we need to stop worrying about Warfare. 46 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:39,300 What we need to do instead is to wait on the Lord and watch him 47 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:43,200 work wonders in our lives. Because like I said before, I 48 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:47,200 love quest. We wage war with worship, like 49 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:51,000 Ephesians 6. Verse 12 says the struggles, the 50 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:54,000 Warfare that we wage. It's not against flesh and blood 51 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,000 but it's a spiritual war that we are fighting. 52 00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:02,100 And spiritual battles require spiritual weapons are weapons, 53 00:04:02,100 --> 00:04:07,300 our worship and the word of God. So stop worrying about your 54 00:04:07,300 --> 00:04:10,100 Warfare. Wait on the Lord and watch him 55 00:04:10,100 --> 00:04:13,200 work wonders and we're going to dive into the word real quick 56 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:14,800 here. We're going to go into a little 57 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:18,899 story found in second Corinthians. 5:21 a friend King 58 00:04:19,100 --> 00:04:22,900 Jehoshaphat say King, Jehoshaphat, perfect. 59 00:04:22,900 --> 00:04:26,100 You can go onto the next slide. So, King, Jehoshaphat found 60 00:04:26,100 --> 00:04:29,000 himself in a bit of a pickle. He was a man after God's Own 61 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,900 Heart and someone that the Lord delighted in and he was an 62 00:04:31,900 --> 00:04:35,400 obedient King. But what ends up happening is he 63 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:39,500 finds himself faced with an attack from the moabites, the 64 00:04:39,500 --> 00:04:43,500 ammonites, and the Mets. Unites say that's a lot of nice, 65 00:04:44,300 --> 00:04:46,700 get it because it's a battle, and they're Waging War. 66 00:04:47,700 --> 00:04:49,200 You're welcome. You're welcome. 67 00:04:49,500 --> 00:04:53,500 So, there were three nations that decided to set up attack 68 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:57,400 against this single King, King Jehoshaphat, Who was the Of 69 00:04:57,400 --> 00:04:59,200 Judah. And what is Judah mean, my 70 00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:02,400 friends? Praise coincidence. 71 00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:07,700 I think not. So we going to next slide. 72 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:09,000 Oh no. Sorry actually stay here. 73 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,900 Stay here JK go back. So we find there's a great 74 00:05:12,900 --> 00:05:17,700 multitude that is come against King Jehoshaphat but Jehoshaphat 75 00:05:17,700 --> 00:05:22,100 for a second he feared he was I way, hold up but also I think 76 00:05:22,100 --> 00:05:25,200 feared it's not just he was afraid within himself, I believe 77 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:28,900 he also feared God. And what he did. 78 00:05:28,900 --> 00:05:34,700 His reaction shows that because he set himself determinately as 79 00:05:34,700 --> 00:05:39,600 his vital need to seek the Lord and He proclaimed a fast in all 80 00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:42,300 Judah, he's like, whoa, hold up. Three nations are coming to 81 00:05:42,300 --> 00:05:44,900 attack knee. Okay, I'm a little skirt, but 82 00:05:44,900 --> 00:05:47,300 wait, I fear the lord and the Lord only. 83 00:05:47,300 --> 00:05:49,400 So what am I going to do? I'm going to seek wisdom 84 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:51,600 determinately. I'm going to seek with 85 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,800 everything in mean, it's not just me, there's power in unity. 86 00:05:54,900 --> 00:05:59,100 So Nations, come on, let's eat. Gather and fast and pray and see 87 00:05:59,100 --> 00:06:03,800 what God wants to do and how he wants to handle this situation 88 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,800 next. So there's three questions that 89 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,900 kind of popped up in my spirit and I'm a teacher. 90 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,800 So y'all have homework, take a picture, write it down, do what 91 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,100 you need to do. But there are three questions 92 00:06:15,100 --> 00:06:17,100 that I want you to go home and answer. 93 00:06:17,300 --> 00:06:22,400 First, are you set in your seeking so to be set in 94 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:27,600 something is to be immovable. It's also to be led f as in to 95 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:32,900 be set in a direction and it's to be productive because when 96 00:06:32,900 --> 00:06:38,100 trees or a blossom are set, they actually develop into produce. 97 00:06:38,100 --> 00:06:42,000 So are you set in your seeking? Are you immovable in? 98 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,900 You're seeking, are you lead in your seeking and are you 99 00:06:44,900 --> 00:06:48,000 productive in your seeking? Is it empty? 100 00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,600 Or does it give you something in return? 101 00:06:50,900 --> 00:06:55,000 The second question is, are you determined in your hearing and 102 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,400 listening to different things? You can Here. 103 00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:00,800 But it doesn't mean it registers hearing and listening. 104 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:06,700 That's the register portion. Will you allow God's 105 00:07:06,700 --> 00:07:11,700 instructions to be a decisive factor in your decision making? 106 00:07:12,100 --> 00:07:15,300 That's what it means to be. Determined that his instructions 107 00:07:15,300 --> 00:07:19,500 are a decisive factor in your decision making. 108 00:07:19,500 --> 00:07:22,400 It's not a factor. It is the factor and it is 109 00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:26,900 decisive, are you determined in your hearing and listening? 110 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:30,600 Meaning to the word of God. And finally is his voice and 111 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:35,200 guidance, a vital need in your life Elder, Pam. 112 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,700 Correct me if I'm wrong. But when you go to the hospital 113 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:41,200 and your vital signs are being checked, those are the things 114 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:44,000 that show whether or not you're alive whether or not you're 115 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,800 doing good, whether or not, you're okay, okay? 116 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:48,400 Us. Checking in with God, it needs 117 00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:51,900 to be a vital need. If we don't, something's wrong, 118 00:07:52,100 --> 00:07:56,100 something's off something within us is not okay, you cannot 119 00:07:56,100 --> 00:07:59,100 survive. On your own in this spiritual 120 00:07:59,100 --> 00:08:01,500 battle without God in your life. Is he? 121 00:08:01,500 --> 00:08:04,700 Your vital me? That's what he needs to be. 122 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:08,500 So check yourself is God your vital need? 123 00:08:08,500 --> 00:08:14,800 Check your vitals. Alright, next first, so we come 124 00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:20,200 to verse 4 King Jehoshaphat, he's proclaimed a fast for all 125 00:08:20,300 --> 00:08:22,700 of the people of Judah, the people of praise. 126 00:08:24,900 --> 00:08:28,400 And so they fasted they I prayed, they seek the Lord 127 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:30,800 together in unity with all their desire. 128 00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:34,900 Its Judah gather together to ask for help from the Lord, even out 129 00:08:34,900 --> 00:08:38,900 of all the cities of Judah, they came to seek the Lord yearning 130 00:08:38,900 --> 00:08:41,900 for him with their desire. It wasn't just a cute prayer 131 00:08:41,900 --> 00:08:44,300 meeting. It was like, no, we are coming 132 00:08:44,300 --> 00:08:48,400 together as a nation yearning with all of our desire because 133 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,200 God, we know without you we will be destroyed. 134 00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:53,400 There are three nations coming against us. 135 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:56,700 We need you. So we are willing to seek you 136 00:08:56,700 --> 00:09:01,500 with Everything that we have. And then from there, King 137 00:09:01,500 --> 00:09:03,700 Jehoshaphat, he does something interesting. 138 00:09:04,100 --> 00:09:07,100 You can see here, it seems like he starts questioning God, or 139 00:09:07,100 --> 00:09:10,100 asking questions to the Lord, but he doesn't publicly, he 140 00:09:10,100 --> 00:09:13,900 doesn't in front of people and this caused me to pause and 141 00:09:13,900 --> 00:09:16,000 wonder. Okay, what is happening here? 142 00:09:16,300 --> 00:09:19,300 But what I realized, as I read is actually Jehoshaphat. 143 00:09:19,300 --> 00:09:23,800 Wasn't questioning God, these are rhetorical questions with 144 00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:27,800 widely known answers. He's like, Let's see here. 145 00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:31,000 For example, he says, are you not God in heaven? 146 00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:36,100 Well, duh, right. Do you not rule over all the 147 00:09:36,100 --> 00:09:40,000 kingdoms of the nation? If you were a Hebrew person at 148 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,600 this time? This is common knowledge. 149 00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:45,000 Like, these are rhetorical questions. 150 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:48,700 And actually, what they are meant to do is to bring people 151 00:09:48,700 --> 00:09:52,300 into remembrance and it's a communal remembrance. 152 00:09:52,300 --> 00:09:55,600 And what that does is it unifies, the people that 153 00:09:55,600 --> 00:10:01,200 communal Is an act of worship. And so what Jehoshaphat is doing 154 00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:05,400 in front of the people is worshipping and uniting them 155 00:10:06,300 --> 00:10:10,000 next slide. So similar to exhortation in 156 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:13,600 corporate prayer. This moment of recounting is 157 00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:17,500 used to unify the people and build up their faith, because as 158 00:10:17,500 --> 00:10:23,000 we know in Psalm 133, where there is Unity, that's where the 159 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,100 Lord commands his Blessing to rest. 160 00:10:25,100 --> 00:10:28,400 And so, King, Jehoshaphat new A wise King that he was. 161 00:10:28,500 --> 00:10:30,500 I need to unite these people together. 162 00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,500 Let's recount the goodness of God and the things that he has 163 00:10:33,500 --> 00:10:37,900 done, not just for us, but for Generations, bring us onto the 164 00:10:37,900 --> 00:10:41,400 same page, unify us. So that God doesn't just speak, 165 00:10:41,500 --> 00:10:45,200 but his Blessing is commanded over this situation next slide. 166 00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:59,000 so then, He addresses the people again, and he says, behold they 167 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:02,300 reward us by coming to drive us out of your possession, he's 168 00:11:02,300 --> 00:11:07,200 talking to God which you have given us to inherit. 169 00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:13,800 And I think this is like really key because It's not just a 170 00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:17,600 piece of land that they've come across, not even a piece of land 171 00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:20,200 that they've been Victorious over, but it's actually an 172 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:25,800 inheritance given to them by God, it's his gift to them. 173 00:11:25,900 --> 00:11:28,100 And what I believe, and what we are going to see in the 174 00:11:28,100 --> 00:11:31,700 description is the things that God has placed for you to 175 00:11:31,700 --> 00:11:34,300 inherit. You don't have to work for those 176 00:11:34,300 --> 00:11:36,400 things. What you do have to do is you 177 00:11:36,408 --> 00:11:40,700 have to stand and you have to worship and you have to seek God 178 00:11:40,700 --> 00:11:45,000 with everything that Have and he will bring those inheritance is 179 00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:48,700 where they need to be.

Well, the test, I remember 376 00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:20,000 watching this sermon and I tried to put a clip on there, but it 377 00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:21,800 didn't work, so it's okay. I'm just going to read a little 378 00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:23,800 part. I remember watching the sermon 379 00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:26,700 on Monumental faith. That pastor preached on October 380 00:25:26,700 --> 00:25:31,200 21st, at 5 p.m. service and I had been in bed in the hospital 381 00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:33,800 for 8 days at this point. And I remember thinking to 382 00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:37,900 myself, God, did I not have enough faith for you to heal me? 383 00:25:38,700 --> 00:25:42,400 I worship God.

The land of Praise next slide. 447 00:30:25,500 --> 00:30:30,200 Sometimes your place of battle becomes your place of blessing. 448 00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:35,800 How many of us have seen the heart of God and the hand of 449 00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:38,200 God?

When turbulence arises stop 467 00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:51,100 seeking man's Wisdom and first seek God's wisdom whenever 468 00:31:51,100 --> 00:31:53,900 you're seeking man's Wisdom.
