2 Chronicles 20:20 And they rose early in the morning, and went forth into the wilderness of Tekoa: and as they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and said, Hear me, O Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem; Believe in the Lord your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper.
Believe IN the Lord your God. You don’t believe IN his prophets, but you do believe them. HIS prophets. There are many “prophets” in our present day. A prophet is a spokesperson. They speak on behalf of another. There are prophets of the world, and there are God’s prophets. You will end up believing whoever you listen to the most. Believe firmly in the Lord and you will have success. Believe in His prophets and everything will be alright. It is highly important who you are connected to. It is a matter of life and death!
The church is the only entity that has any authority over the powers of darkness. Our fight is not with flesh + blood. He is only in control to the degree that His people are in control. He can’t do anything until we do!
Matthew 8:28 And when he was come to the other side into the country of the Gergesenes, there met him two possessed with devils, coming out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man might pass by that way.
2 Timothy 3:1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
The word of God says that perilous times are on their way. Even more so than we have already experienced. But it does not have to be that way for God’s people. Believe in the Lord your God, and what HIS prophets tell you. Exceeding fierce times may be in the earth. Do not fear! God is covering us, if we are connected to Him. We are going to fight some battles in the natural. We NEED the wisdom of God. We walk by faith and not by sight! We don’t live by the words of media, we live by the word of God!
1 John 5:18 We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.
It is important how you live! We are to be in this world, not of this world. Present your body as a living sacrifice. May your life be Holy! Keep yourself and the wicked one will not touch you. Jesus sets you are free from it all!
People in the world are going to do what people in the world do. When you see these people in our government doing wildly stupid things, it is because they are under the power of the devil! We are not to look down on them. If God can turn things around for you, He can turn things around for them too.
