Before I start preaching I just want to tell somebody.
That today is your day for a turnaround.
And I decree into you and the very same place that the enemy said it was going to end. You going to step into a new beginning? And the greatest blessing of your life.
the children of Moab and the children of Amon
and with them other besides the ammonites came against your house affect the battle. We could assign names to these enemies that apply to us personally.
We could say financial trouble. I have problems our family problems. And a text on I care to send a text on my Ministries.
And here's the worst part of it all.
They all came at once.
Have you ever felt like you were in the middle of a war zone and the enemy was surrounding you? You turn to the East and there was the enemy. You turn to the west and they'll give us a different enemy. You turn to the north and there was no relief. You turn to the South and it looks hopeless. I know today about the spirit of the Lord that somebody here today. It's in that very same situation. You love God you you're doing your best to serve God and you doing your best to live by you read your Bible. You're paying your time. You're coming to church your you your pay your ties and you you're so it.
But you are in the fight. of your life and you don't see any sign of it letting up. You enjoyed one anime and think maybe you making some progress.
Then all the sudden you look at the enemy has reinforcements. Come on even stronger. then Here Come Those people who feel like it's their job as their mission to tell you how bad it is and how mean the enemy is and how they doing this magnifying with the Devil is doing
In the Bible says Jehoshaphat feared. Say faith coming by here than fear cometh by hearing. The greatest weapon is Satan has his tooth is is fear because Phil will open the door to sickness and disease. depression oppression worry anxiety stress and confusion
Fear will steal your joy. and your peace fear would bring you into bondage mentally emotionally and spiritually job said and Joe 325 for the thing, which I greatly feared is come upon me and that which I was afraid Is Comin To Me?
Fear is a child of the devil.
1st John 4:18 says fear has has torment. And 2nd Timothy 1 and 7 for God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. I don't care who you are how spiritual you are. Haha, I know it that you are. Some point in your life. You going to face off with fear?
People are paralyzed by fear. Held in bondage in captivity by fear. Even even Christians can find themselves in a prison of fear. Today fear has many faces. Many today are living in fear of bad economy. Fear of terrorism fear of losing their income fear of losing their homes fear of losing their social security fear of earthquake somnia and fear of radiation poisoning.
pandas fear of sickness and disease some people live all their lives in fear of getting their lenders deadly diseases like Ebola.
West Nile Corona some live in fear of failure Africa Friday to try anything new because they might fall or fail.
The only way to move forward is to conquer the spirit of fear. See the first thing Jehoshaphat did when he was attacked by the spirit of fear. Was he turn to the Lord?
He feared but he made the right to Choice my right choice. He turned to God. He said himself to seek the Lord and proclaim a fast throughout all Judea. I want I want to say something right here.
God gave the church everything that we need to overcome in this life. In advance the kingdom of God. I weapons are not weak. They are mighty. They are powerful and they are effective. The Bible said in 2nd Corinthians 10 + 3 + 5 the weapon of our Warfare are not carnal but they are Mighty through the through the god through God to the pulling down of strongholds casting down imaginations and every High thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God and bringing into captivity every thought to The Obedience of Christ.
But it does not matter how powerful your weapon off. If you did not pick them up. They are useless as far as you are concerned.
We never win when those many battles as Christian not because the enemy is greater not because the enemy is smarter a Harris better weapons. But simply because we do not take full advantage of what we have been given. The first thing Jehoshaphat does is like the weapon of prayer and fasting.
Fast and multiplies the power of prayer it magnifies the effort of Prayer. If you are serious about needing a breakthrough in your life, then get serious about fasting.
Isaiah 58 and 6 tells us the power of the fast it will lose the bonds of wickedness.
Undo the heavy burdens and let the oppressed go free. And it will Empower you to break every yoke. CJ House of factory is something that a lot of us are too proud to do. He cried out to the Lord. This is something that that there is something powerful in a cry and noticed. I'm not referring to prayer here when you when you leave God in mediately and desperately you don't have time for those long drawn-out fancy trash the King James prayers. Bexar is an acknowledgement. We need help. The cry is a recognition that human effort is not enough. Jehoshaphat cries creates and Avenue for the power of God
Psalm 7 11 through 13 says because they rebelled against his word and commanded the Council of the most high. That's all he brought down that heart with hearts with label they fell down and that was none to help then they Cried unto the Lord in that troubles and he saved them out of their distresses. He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death and break their baths and Sunda. Because they cried out for help. One of the greatest enemies of the power of God is pride. Pride will kill you. Never be too proud to cry out to God for help. What seemed to be weakness is actually the most powerful thing you can do.
Somebody out lift your hands right now and cry out to God confess your weakness.
Tell him how much you need his help.
In verse 14 and 15 the spirit of the Lord comes Upon A CL and he began to prophesy thus saith the Lord. I'm going to tell you right now. Adult say the Lord changes everything. I don't care what the bank or says. I don't care what the doctor said. The lawyer says. I know I know I now know what the Lord's is saying. It doesn't matter what people are saying or what the economy saying or what the government is saying. I want to know what God is say.

Just saying the word. Speak the word only and my servant shall be healed.
All you need is one word. Jehoshaphat says believe in the Lord your God. So shall you be established believe His prophets? So shall you prosper?
Thank God for Prophets. Thank God for men and women who walk close enough to God that that that they can hear his voice and speak his Divine will all through the Bible. It was the prophet that brought direction and guidance and correction to the Kings and the children of Israel. What did the prophet say?
We gave them a ridiculous instruction. He said go out against them and set yourself stand still and see the salvation of the Lord.
Every natural every every natural evidence and impulse was to run away from the great Army and to hide the rocks and caves but the instruction of God is meet them head-on.
Go out against them. Jehoshaphat appointed singers to praise the Lord in the beauty of his holiness. When they began to sing and praise the Lord the Lord steps ambushment against the children of Amon Moab and Marcel which were come out against Judah and they were smitten.
They turned on each other. God confused them and they began to kill each other. praise confuses the devil If you want to to draw the devil crazy when he throw something heavy at you instead of whining and complaining. Just go and start praising God and it just like you lost your mind.
