(2 Chronicles 20:12b)

**"Then the Spirit of the Lord came upon Jahaziel-as he stood in the assembly...YOU WILL NOT HAVE TO FIGHT THIS BATTLE. Take up your positions; STAND FIRM AND SEE THE DELIVERANCE THE LORD WILL GIVE YOU, O Judah and Jerusalem. DO NOT BE AFRAID, DO NOT BE DISCOURAGED. GO OUT TO FACE THEM TOMORROW, AND THE LORD WILL BE WITH YOU."
"...Have faith in the Lord your God and you will be upheld; have faith in his prophets and you will be successful. After consulting the people, Jehoshaphat appointed men to sing to the Lord and to praise him for the splendor of his holiness as they went out at the head of the army, saying: GIVE THANKS TO THE LORD, FOR HIS LOVE ENDURES FOREVER."
6. Enjoy God's victory. God's victories are bigger, better, and they last.
"...The fear of God came upon all the kingdoms of the countries when they heard how the Lord had fought against the enemies of Israel. And the kingdom of Jehoshaphat was at peace, FOR HIS GOD HAD GIVEN HIM REST ON EVERY SIDE."
REMEMBER -THE BATTLE- BELONGS TO GOD, NOT US...SO ALLOW GOD TO HELP YOU...
