Our Eyes Are On You

10 And now, behold, the children of Ammon and Moab and mount Seir, whom thou wouldest not let Israel invade, when they came out of the land of Egypt, but they turned from them, and destroyed them not; 11 Behold, I say, how they reward us, to come to cast us out of thy possession, which thou hast given us to inherit. 12 O our God, wilt thou not judge them? for we have no might against this great company that cometh against us; neither know we what to do: but our eyes are upon thee.

​
Introduction
Everyone want to get to the Valley of Berachah(Blessing)
Question: How can I make it to the Valley of Berachah?
When death is all around me
When I have heart trouble
When the Dr. diagnoses me with cancer
How can I make it to the Valley of Berachah?
When my closes friend no longer communicates with me
Family members don’t get alone
Co-workers setting me up for failure
How can I make it the Valley of Berachah?
My bills are due and my money is low
I don’t have enough money to put gas in my car
My money is funny and I don’t have a honey
How can I make it to the Valley of Berachah?
COVID-19 is on a rampage
Racism is escalating
And the economy is on the edge
How can we make it to the Valley of Berachah?
Jehoshaphat has mapped the way to the valley. Show us the way Jehoshaphat!
​
Jehoshaphat says if you want to make it to the valley, it’s no secret.
We must learn to Pray in the mist of trouble.
Even when we cannot see the results and you don’t know the outcome, we must learn to Praise.
After we have prayed and after we have praise you must prepare to experience God’s Power.
​
In fact, if you ask Peter he’d tell you to Keep your eyes on Jesus.
Our Eyes Are On You!
​
I. Prayer

3 And Jehoshaphat feared, and set himself to seek the LORD, and proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah.

Jehoshaphat got word that the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir was coming to gang up on Judah.
The enemy comes to steal kill and destroy -
To tear down and not build up
To pull apart and not to put together
One thing about the enemy is he don’t have the courage to come at you by himself
He’s a coward
He’s weak
And he has no power over God
He make alliances to come at you
He needs back up
But when you are a child of the King
When you are of royal decent
Do like Jehoshaphat
Don’t live in constant fear (fear may get you but it does not have to stay with you)
Pray! Pray away your fear away.
Jehoshaphat set him self to seek God and proclaimed a fast. Everybody had to fast, even the babies fast.
When you get serious with God, God will get serious with you.
Pray! In the mist of bad news
The doctor’s report says I have cancer, Pray!
I was fur-lowed and I planned to retire from there, Pray!
My Husband is coming home late, Pray!
My Wife don’t want to cook anymore, Pray!
My Children has gone astray, Pray!
When it seems like the world is coming to an end, Pray!
My heart is broken and I am depressed, Pray!
Death has taken my loved one away , Pray!
It’s all over whelming and I can’t handle it, Pray!
When it is too much for you it’s just enough for God.
Seek God and Pray!!!
Pray like you want to make it to the the Valley of Berachah.
Our Eyes Are On You!
And when your done praying! Give God a praise.
II. Praise

18 And Jehoshaphat bowed his head with his face to the ground: and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem fell before the LORD, worshipping the LORD.

21 And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed singers unto the LORD, and that should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army, and to say, Praise the LORD; for his mercy endureth for ever.

What do you mean preacher?
I just finished praying, God have not even received the message yet. Why should I Praise?
Jesus says “a double minded man is unstable in all his ways.”
In others words if you pray for it believe him for it. Don’t doubt God!
He’s already has given you confirmation so Praise him.
The Spirit of the Lord came upon the Jahaziel the son of Zechariah
Jahaziel prophesied - Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God’s.
You don’t have to worry, it’s not your battle.
Your don’t have to fret, it’s not your battle.
You can cry but don’t cry long, it’s not your battle.
The old saints use to sing: God will fight your battle if you just be still.
Yolanda Adams will tell you the battle is not your’s it the Lord’s
Paul will tell you to put on the whole armor of God, the armor is not for you to fight but its for your protection, because you be able to stand in the mist of the battle and watch your and my God fight for us in a ring side seat.
So baby you don’t have to wait til the fight is won, you can Praise God right now.
They are coming at me but, Praise to His name.
They don’t like me but, Praises to His name.
They put me down but, Praises to His name.
They teaming up against me but, Praises to His name.
The light bill is past due and the bank account is through, Praises to His name.
The Dr. said it don’t look good but, Praises to His name
The eviction notice is on the door, Praises to His name.
COVID-19 is on the rise but. Praises to His name.
Praise Him in the morning, Praise Him the noonday, Praise Him when the Sun is going down
I don’t know how, neither do I know when, but one thing I do know, God will fight for you.
God will fight for me, He will bring us out miraculously
All you have to do is Praise him and you will experience His mighty Power
Our Eyes Are On You!

III. Power

22 And when they began to sing and to praise, the LORD set ambushments against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, which were come against Judah; and they were smitten. 23 For the children of Ammon and Moab stood up against the inhabitants of mount Seir, utterly to slay and destroy them: and when they had made an end of the inhabitants of Seir, every one helped pto destroy another.

So when Joshaphat, lead in fasting,
when Jehoshaphat took the lead in prayer,
and Jehoshaphat lead in Praise.
The army followed Jehoshaphat, to the battle, the odds was against them. 3 to 1.
They had fast, and they had prayed
They had prayed and they had praise
They went to the battle with the choir out front.
And while they were praising, the enemy got confused
While they were praising the enemy turned on one another
While they were praising the power of God was working
A battle took place, and there was a fight.
But Judah only got to Praise
Men were dead and the enemy destroyed
It Judah took 3 days to gather the spoils
It was the Power of of God
Have you ever been in a tight situation and wondered how you got over.
It was the power of God.
Have your refrigerator ever been empty but you never missed a meal.
If was the Power of God
Have you receive the disconnection notice and the money came out of the blue
It was the Power of God
Have you ever been a accident and was near to death, you survived
It was the Power of God
He’s omnipotent - All Powerful
