Victory by Sitting at God's Right Hand | Steven Francis

how many of you are blessed by what god is teaching to us amen the bible says the lord verse 1 the lord says to my lord sit at my right hand we remember saying i wanted to replace your name the lord says to stephen the lord says to larry and keep on fixing everybody's name the lord says to you personally sit at my right hand until i make your enemies your footstool we study together what is sick we study together the lord says we study together what is right hand we study together what is until until the lord does now when is this until we don't know some people take some people's miracles takes about 20 years to manifest and i don't know why some people's miracles takes a second like that boom it happens some people's miracle involves physio involves medication involves a struggle of positive pursuit and man it manifests some people in the midst of their unbelief god heals them i don't know why god is god only he knows what he's doing but he promised and he commanded us until i do it my way wait for me amen because when man does it his way the tendency to mix the flesh and the spirit and equal comes out another new problem is very high and you if you have been in if you have gone through enough problems enough mixtures enough where you said i thought it was god and you found out it was wrong if you have gone through enough then let's learn how to surrender until god shows the way a long time ago i've decided not to follow the emergencies of advertising or advertisement right advertising i'm saying it right advertisements they will say today we are closing down today is the last day there was a shop near my house in singapore every day it was a closing day when we moved to that area when we bought our house and we moved there every day so we would combine things and we put there and then it went for one month two months i thought okay well probably he's got stock he's closing so one day i went to the owner and asked why do you put the banner closing down sale he said our shop's name is closing down sale that means we are not closing the name of the shop is called closing down sale because i saw that for months and now it has been almost 10 years is still there they are never closing sometimes people will say this is a large house you got to buy it you may not need it but you want to your hearts are all mixed in you may end up doing it the last tv the last season the last that the last few weather the price is slash 70 wow human tendency will tend to do it and some people when they don't have the money they will do it with their credit cards they will borrow you know this is the last one you better go and then we are wondering god can you do a miracle please to pay off the loan because this is the best of its kind long time ago i decided to follow the timings of god rather than the timings of this world the timings of the world tricks you and puts anxiety in you well god gives you peace one of this afternoon when i was in singapore there was a new model to build a condominium do you say it as condominium yes yes okay i'm improving too see okay condominium they have not built but they built a show flat so that afternoon we came back from church and angela and i and the children decided let's go and take a look we have never done it before i no intention to buy so i don't go okay but that day that's the first in my area let's go and do it they say brand new latest kind that kind this kind shoebox so we went in you know what's a shoebox condominium okay yes or no shoebox means the smallest of its kind it's a shoebox they never tell the they did not lie they are telling the truth it is just few shoebox book together that's all so they showed me the living room this room kitchen and that and this and then then i saw a room which is a bunker singapore flats they have this service room as a bunker so in case of there is a bomb explodes everything will drop except the bunker for 20 stories will stand whoever's inside will be alive okay are you following so i walked around the master room or the owner will be sleeping there the children's room the children will be sleeping there the bunker room was also designed to be a bedroom so i'm asking the agent whoever was introducing who sleeps here uh first they said it's up to me i said no i'm asking you who sleeps here who did you design it for this is usually for the helper in in singapore we have usually every household almost will have a helper servant made domestic helper from overseas indonesia burma and all okay are you following it's a city life different life but i'm just telling you what happens there so they usually slip here is designed for them so i asked the agent so are you telling me when a bomb blast the owner will die and the helper will be alive are you telling me that he said no but you are just told me i'm not buying your house i came out as funny as it is that's the truth what i didn't lie i'm telling you what she told me until i make your enemies listen are you following the scriptures are we following the scriptures i'm not talking my theory i'm talking scriptures are you following okay listen let's all read the lord says to my lord sit at my right hand until i make i make i make can i ask you a question some enemies jesus didn't say that enemy must be my enemy first before they become your enemies but god is saying your enemies think about it very carefully when people do evil to others when they do black magic to others when they steal another person's livelihood see we think well i just stole his promotion but what you didn't know probably the promotion caused the divorce probably the uh stealing someone's promotion cause happen a suicide where they shoot themselves we just don't know maybe that promotion caused them the mortgage and the whole family became homeless we just didn't know that's what greed and covetousness does that's why lying and deception does we don't know and but god there are people who will scheme to bring you down and the the things that they do affects your entire family by placing a curse of poverty are you following a wrong advice of a doctor could have brought a disease in your body and you just don't know or a neglect of someone your enemies and the word enemy must be legitimate not not just anybody you don't like it must be justified okay then the lord says until i make your enemies what we don't want anybody i don't want my enemy to be my footstool man i don't want to see him so let's interpret footstool simply means until you overcome and you are getting ready to walk and step on and walk away is that okay because footstool simply means to step on and step out correct are you you got to know what the lord is trying to tell us because some of us got stuck with our enemies some of us got stuck to our past some of us can't even move on i remember one lady i was counseling in this situation this younger girl the daughter she was about 40 years old and she could not forgive her mom you see during the japanese occupation what happened many of the chinese husbands or fathers were brought out by the japanese and they were killed the only reason why they were killed because china was supporting america against the japanese when the chinese was also fighting against the japanese people raised money to fight weapons and whatever not to buy against japan so wherever japanese the japanese went in southeast asia when they conquered southeast asia they selected those chinese families you talk about singapore malaysia vietnam all over and they just killed the men the babies whoever the baby was a male child they threw up and they took the bayonet to catch them back many of you know in singapore a place called sentosa it's a it's a very expensive island it's a the holiday island is like the uh hollywood of singapore that's where the the islands they will bring by the truckloads make the man to dig their own grave and they will be shot they were all buried there so these chinese people what happened when the usually in those days not just chinese it could be indian they will have 10 to 12 15 children there is no family planning involved at this times people had many many children husbands now husband die so what the mothers will do they will give the children away sometimes people the children will be bought for hundred dollars because you are talking about those days man where they didn't know how to survive these children they're going to die of starvation anyway so give them away to aunties and uncles and neighbors who have lost their children or neighbors who don't have children where their husband is short take my children this child was given away the mother was already 90 over years old in dementia and this lady could not even forgive her mother for a very long time and i had the privilege to have both of them sit together and this girl was crying and crying and crying could not forgive the mother i say now is your moment before your mother dies please release your forgiveness for something that she was so helpless at the time when she was telling all this whole even you know what the mother said she said i can't remember what i did i can't remember because she it's just too long you know people who suffered post trauma post-stress disorder and traumatic events during the japanese occupation their birth certificate cards were taken away they cannot remember when they were born they cannot remember their original name some of them were given different names they cannot remember the location where they were born because of the hardships of life many past memories were erased out of their mind some of them were in labor camps and things were systematically done to them the mother even could not remember and i took the opportunity to tell this daughter do you realize that your whole you held your mother as a prisoner for 50 years of for for no not 50. that's 50 years for her that probably about 30 over here still she could remember as a prisoner in your soul for something that she cannot remember that something she was so helpless about because at that point if you would give your child away that the child will grow up or kill your child you'll give it away and that's what the mother did and we met we have made some situations and some people as enemies for no reason and we can't forgive we can't let go but today god is saying until i do a miracle and help that event of your life whatever it could be it could be a real person until it becomes a footstool and come down until i do that you sit on my right hand are you following you sit with me you don't go revenge anyone you sit with me and i will until i will make your enemies your footstool pastors have been betrayed of their churches some leaders have been betrayed of their position and ministry a very close friend of mine we grew up as very close classmates in my uh secondary school where he went into the ministry and we lost in touch when he went to the military and then his parents moved to canada are we kept in touch with emails and i've not seen him for probably 12 years one day i had a dream in this dream he's crying out to me please come and help me there is no one and i woke up with such a burden like from the room i went to my room and i was crying and crying before the lord i said god how am i going to help him the moment i kept praying the phone rang and i was very surprised how so early in the morning there's a phone i picked up and the mother of this my friend calls me from singapore i search through the church directory and your name was in and then told me all the problems he was facing where in canada he was kicked out of a church where he has been serving for more than 10 years can you please help him and i cried with the presence of god knelt down and say god you know i don't have money how am i going to go to canada you know my heart now remember those days we did not have whatsapp facetime there is no such things uh dial up more dams that sings songs like a bird when you dial up you pray that the sound goes through oh it's connecting if it doesn't go you've got to redial again remember right i was praying say lord do a miracle the moment i finish praying another pastor friend who has not called me for 20 years he calls me hey stephen how are you he calls me as though he spoke to me yesterday yeah i'm good he said okay everything is okay are you still alive stephen listen i'll call you emergency because god told me this morning i need to call you i receive an invitation to canada to vancouver to the town of surrey i started crying why my friend is in vancouver and surrey he said stephen they are sending me a ticket i can't go the lord said call you to send you there are you are you interested i said of course i am [Laughter] give me the phone number and boom listen within 10 days i was in canada to encourage a friend to help him walk through the forgiveness to forgive the pastor lift him up encourage him again in the ministry and today he's a pastor of a growing church amen see sometimes god can use us to become the very stools for someone to step in and step out for their god-given destiny if you know how to step out let it be but let god do those things for us until i make your enemies your footstool even though god is the one who is doing all the miracles from behind the scenes yet he wants the victory to be all he wants to share the victory to be yours it's something that you know we cannot understand the mercies and the grace of god it is like playing with our children you know when their children are all growing up you pray you play what is that treasure hunt do you remember playing treasure hunt if you have never gone through that one of these days we'll change that classroom to put some treasures and you can play okay overcome your trauma can you do that [Laughter] hey do you know treasure hunter you don't okay stop wasting time say yes okay so do you know how you play treasure hunt when the child is really looking everywhere you give clues you are playing cheat with your child you're giving clues not here nor that i think it might be that maybe and the child roughly knows the mom or dad is guiding them towards the treasure have you played that before and the moment they find them you celebrate as though they did it all by themselves have you done that before almighty god celebrates with us the whole deal of the story and he said until i make your victory to be yours you got to know who our father is throw your hundred percent confidence to lean towards him forget about what google is saying god forget about what the market is saying god has the power to turn things around in your life he can command a job just to be open just for you he can put the right officers just to look at your file hello let me see people who need the file is here people who need the job is there i i don't know let me see not larry you don't fit in man i don't know what to tell you guys the food that you love could be on the table in the menu nobody say amen are you following hey guys listen these scriptures that i'm teaching you if it's from god then please share it with others who are going through challenges that's what this whole deal about it is not to scheme through scriptures for the sake because i'm a preacher and i don't need to preach it no no no no i'm not doing for the sake of doing it i enjoy the ministry of god's word i take it as a sacred position and i enjoy munching and meditating god's word that i give you the life manner of god suddam it's a sacred opportunity not not yet absolutely butter and honey no not peace of bone please i went to a friend's house who they had two dogs there and the friend's house the wife was cutting the meat nicely [Music] softly taking the bones away and you know i said who is this for this is for my dog i said wow you're preparing yes part of the family i said didn't let me see then who eats the bones she said we so i i was my i was playing around but you know me man i was looking at my phone she said what are you looking i wanted to show you some things so i saw her two photos who is this man who is this dog men eat food dog is bones i'm just playing around well listen the love that you have for your animal that becomes like a family and because this this dog had surgeries on the throat before cannot swallow so they you know they are so caring for it isn't it how much more the heavenly father cares for me are you with me how much more the heavenly father cares for us so take time and as much as this is a form of meditation we are munching the word of god we are studying every word that is written with the mind of christ it should not be just came through and the lord stops over to speak about every letter there then you're going to enjoy it amen that we can be thought by god what it means until i make your enemies lord says the victory is yours the grown-up child of god will bring the victory back to the lord and say god actually this belongs to you it's not mine you fought for it you did it thank you all that i wanted the portion is peace and strength to keep walking with you without falling back somebody say amen i wanted to show you a scripture in ii chronicles chapter 20 and today we will oh we are getting feedback oh now they are talking to me through the back oh my god you see please don't read that say pastor don't read pastor avoid going up the steps usually when i'm preaching god used to speak to me now these fellas are talking to me oh god who am i going to listen man it must be joshua did you send signals there are you enjoying let's do it second chronicles chapter 20 okay i will not go okay the book of second chronicles chapter 20 speaks of jehoshaphat and the challenge that he had particularly we'll pay attention to verses 15 16 and 17. second chronicles chapter 20 15 16 and 17 a passage that many of us know but let's build our faith and he said listen all judah and inhabitants of jerusalem and king jehoshaphat thus says the lord to you do not be afraid do not be dismayed at this great heart or army for the battle is what but gods for the battle is not yours but let's say one more time i want you to understand this for the battle is but because sometimes in our mind we think no the battle is mine god is coming to help right that means i still must fight now there are times when god wants you to fight he will tell you but here he's saying no it's not yours it's going to be mine there are times when god will tell you when you should not be involved somebody say amen and sometimes you wish you don't want to do anything he tells no you must be involved the battle is yours the battle is ma it's not yours but guards now then he says verse 16 let us all read together tomorrow go down against oops you just said the battle is not mine hello you just said i don't have to do anything did god say that no he didn't he just said the battle he said you don't have to fight but you still got to dress up tomorrow let's all read go down against them behold they what you mean my enemy will still come you know sometimes you don't want to see your enemy you wish that enemy will rapture it somehow they will come they will come up by the ascent of this you will find them at the end of the valley east of the wilderness of jeruvale god already kind of give up their location the secret service of god has given up the locations of where the enemy is going to show up it was heaven's drone services are you following okay now let's read verse 17 together you will not need to fight in this battle the way you read tells me it's not your fight i know you got to show some excitement when you are reading okay okay you want me to preach less you better read fast if not i will bless you with two hours okay come on let's do verse 17 again you will not need to fight in this battle stand firm hold and see oh judah and jerusalem do not be afraid do not be tomorrow [Music] can you handle this kind of statements hey these words are not given to the coward if it's a coward the lord said don't worry about it you go and cry i'll fight for you these are given to the ones who has courage and all those who have courage say amen amen look at that you will not need to fight in this battle but you need to stand firm because i will fight for an army that carries my name because you are my children you are not cowards you are my children you must possess something about me and i the bible says in the book of exodus chapter 13 that god is a man of war do you know that someone come on please help me to understand are you saying that because god is a man of war that means it's an old testament because some guys are stuck into all this so let's help them this video will go out publicly so let's help them also they say god is no longer a god of voice a god of love that means he has thrown the weapons of war he is flying around like a cupid are you thinking god like that the bible says in the book of revelation he is getting getting back into the war right because that's the god we serve how can we be preaching no my god is not that kind of god i don't know which god you're talking about bro probably the greek mythological god who's no longer existing you see because the bible says when the antichrist is coming oh my friend god is taking all back his weapons and this time not only him he has raised a weapon called church hello if you are not bold enough stand behind me i will fight you push me like the other day push me i will fight i am not praying to be raptured first i am not praying to be raptured first i want to be the last man standing if i can for my flock that is given to me do you understand whatever the cause is and i'm not just preaching for the sake of saying the name has been registered there stephen has denied his privileges and i'm think that's what the cause of ministry is all about if there are weak among us stand behind me don't worry about it but follow my directions i want to show the commitment not just don't impress us with the anointing impress within for me a commitment of discipleship jesus look at what he's saying he said you will need to but stand firm hold your position oh god it's frightening you know look at the army the fellas are assembling everywhere hold your position and see the salvation of the lord on your or what what what you have to go out against them do not be afraid do not be dismayed you need to go out you need to put on your battle order you need to stand in line know your position take the weapons which you are supposed to be taking some of us know how to praise some of us will take a tambourine some of you will know the scriptures some of you you are good in praise and worship some of you are prayer warriors some will pray loud some will pray solve some will pray in tongues some will quote the scriptures whichever battle order you are assemble yourself this is not the time to mix and match everybody that they will become quiet on that day you'll be thanking god for those who are screaming and shouting because they put the enemy down i don't have to feel anybody i just have to feel michael good enough one man he'll put everybody down his voice is powerful enough his 55 trumpets all put together [Laughter] hey another one is that her name is [Laughter] prague somebody say amen now this morning the lord showed me something i wanted to enjoy god's word but i wanted to know this passage well please go home and study and see how you can relate to what go what is going on with you do not become a victim of kobe because kobe is just dumb somebody say amen don't blame kobe you know people always leave a message on the phone you call a bank due to kobeat due to kobe we cannot answer calls hello kovit is not a disease of telephones [Laughter] what kind of a dumb answering mission is that due to covet our calls cannot be answered on time this is not an electronic disease what what's wrong with you you're working from home you better answer fast another recording due to kovit we are receiving multitude of calls this is not even a hospital right why are people calling you you can't figure those things out man you go to amazon due to kobe deliveries are delayed hey this is not a tired disease why is kobe delivering i tell you what the only one who did not say anything about kobe is god in the midst all the diseases i am still god over your life i hope you don't buy into this regardless of kobe or not you will see god working a lot more in your life amen amen who is this guy now i wanted to know that jehoshaphat was a very strong man as a mighty man he's a mighty king he had all kinds of army if you read the chapter 17 you'll find he had one of the biggest army and chapter 17 verse 12 says jehoshaphat grew steadily and greater now he's not a weak guy to go and cry before god such a strong man even his volunteers if you put at verse 16 which i quoted last week first uh a second chronicles can you go there please second oh yeah 17 right and next to him a messiah the son of zikri a volunteer for the service of the lord with 200 000 mighty men of valor and you keep reading thousands of people are in his army he's not a weak man to cry god i don't know what to do jehoshaphat and not only that if you look look at the second chronicles chapter 20 look at verse 7 a very important phrase is there look at verse 7 chapter 20 verse 7 okay did you not our god drive out the inhabitants of this land before your people israel and give it forever to the descendants of who and who was abraham now you are talking about days when there were not printed pages you are talking about days when there were no facebook or advertisement to know that abraham was a friend of god but everybody of the jewish race knew abraham's walk with god was something different from the average job he said abraham the friend of god who was abraham a man who prayed no wonder joseph jehoshaphat was praying to god lord if you can do all these things to him you can do this to us but then the question now verse 12 is that chapter 20 verse 12 oh our god will you not execute judgment on them for we are what is it really true it's not true you have an army behind you man but you see i wanted to think about the surrender of this man to this almighty god not that he doesn't know what to do not that he doesn't know where to go he's got military analyst strategist with him he could have devised a plan god i've devised my plan beyond this is you he didn't even say that he comes before god and he said god we are powerless against this great army that is coming against us and he says the next line in verse in verse 12 we do not know what to do but our eyes are on you man this is the most holiest pray you know how to pray in this times and whatever times that is coming amen are you with me it's not about what your friend said it's not but what your doctor's report is saying it is not what about your bank statements are saying it is what god you can do for my life amen are you with me and while he was going down then god gives him this strategy he gives the strategy and then look at what i wanted to say very important next day came they all dressed up they all are ready the soldiers were wondering okay uh we are going to die we're going to fight because why i'm not sure i'm really not sure the bible doesn't say where this message was transmitted to the army or not it was a promise for the king whether this message was given to the army we don't know are you following there was no whatsapp what's up what's down nothing was there sometimes kings will not tell certain news to the army so that the army's mind is very standard ready to fight i don't know man whether they told or they are not but they are told to assemble themselves and they did are you ready for the next revelation are you ready or not okay now look at what the the scripture says in verse 21. let's go to 20. it's a special reason we'll read together all right and they roast early in the morning and went out into the wilderness of yeah look at her smile and when they went out jehoshaphat stood and said yami judah and inhabitants of jerusalem believe in the lord your god and you will be established believe his prophets and you will succeed but we don't know what was the prophecy whether he was transmitted yet and when he had taken counsel with the people now jehoshaphat appointed those who were to sing to the lord and praise him in holy attire as they went before the army and say give thanks to the lord for his steadfast love endures forever for some of them this song is a song of victory for some of them this song is means like sing and die you don't know what they are singing for are you ready for revelation okay five people yes no free revelation sorry are you ready for revelation this instruction of praising god and dancing tambourine was not part of the instruction that god gave him god did not tell him to do that god didn't say before you assemble you need to do all these things in the front he didn't say do you realize in times of crisis and trouble you will naturally do what is habitual for you praising the name of the living god god doesn't need to tell you that don't get stuck with steps don't get stuck with don't get out but guardian same as i praise him worship cannot fast and pray or must i do this i do that do anything you need to do so that you don't lose your faith if you are a praising person you will praise god naturally if you are a dancing person you will dance to god naturally when god gives a word to someone if they are a fasting person they will fast to god naturally because everything they do is a sacrifice before the lord god how important it is for us to learn how to worship god while everything is okay in church are you with me you see we are not coming to church so that someone sings for you we are coming so that we sing along to jesus we need to get into hey listen sometimes you guys make me very nervous you are too quiet in church we need to be more celebrative somebody say amen because we don't we did not come into a funeral we came into a live service right yes we're not attending someone's death man we are celebrating because our jesus is [Music] alive he did what was natural to send tamarin come on can i have my tamarind yes usually once every 10 years i will demonstrate my dancing abilities where someone as someone asked in the church pasta is that things you you know you can do which we have not seen yet i said yes i can dance i know how to dance forward and i know how to dance backwards dr jess you want to try amen listen to your wife brother please you do it at home oh all this crazy hey the army that is opposite is looking at this army that is crazy look at this poor israel people who are ready to die so they are dancing happy god did not even say you need to do all this god said stand firm god said that right so what is this crazy ladies in the front what are they doing i don't have to hold it rightly i'm not your student okay i wanted to think about this for a minute the church is given to praise and worship of the almighty god nothing can replace praise and worship in your life nothing can take away the praise of god in your life don't let anybody tell you praise less praise more sing loud sing soft hello you do it because your testimony is the loudest then shout it out to the lord your god why are you stopping someone who's celebrating before the living god their miracle is not yours yours could be nothing i don't know what but there could be something so much and they are celebrating you know sometimes we praise and worship not for our own miracle anymore but for a miracle of someone else we are putting all our best people together to fast and pray to worship to stand in the gap hello listen whenever there are problems in our life in my life in our family in our church when we really need to pray all night prayer i don't call those who don't know how to pray i don't call those who can't can't keep the eyes open at one o'clock i call those who know how to pray i call those who know how to pray throughout the night are you with me and god knows who to call upon that is why my brothers and sisters let us train ourselves today learn to celebrate when we are supposed to be celebrating how easy a battle can be worn by just praising and dancing before the lord we want to bring our religiosity to a church that has been set free by the power of the blood a church shouldn't be this a church shouldn't be that a church shouldn't be this are you the wikipedia or encyclopedia what's wrong with you a church should be anything god wants you to be man if god can be glorified through your dance and worship then let us do the best for jesus because it takes a lot of courage for someone to do that it makes a lot of courage to someone to dance before the presence of god are you with me you will do naturally what is possible why did jehoshaphat seek the lord and if you study about jehoshaphat life that man is a natural seeker of god any anything he does he seeks the lord first you see my brothers and sisters what you naturally do every time or all the time will be the very thing you will do in times of your crisis naturally you will seek the lord naturally you'll pray but if you are a person naturally who talk to google talk to your friends and ask everybody's opinion and the last point you will go to god then naturally that's what you will do in times of crisis and for you the portion is confusion for you the break that you will eat is desmare fear anxiety and confusion because the world will give you up but god doesn't why don't we train ourselves when times are good if some of you who know kenneth hagin he used to say that all the time learn to pray when everything is good learn to stop your faith when everything is normal in your life because when you need it when you know can't pray that faith you stored up will come and fight for you store up scriptures of healing store up scriptures or praise store up scriptures or prosperity store up scriptures where you know where to turn in times of challenges amen i saw that when i was 16 bro and i ca i spent hours in hours in hours in the study of the scripture remember those days when you can't print a paper silently do you remember it's called the dot matrix printer do you remember those days or you don't from morning to evening my house my printer will be vibrating my mother said are you okay i said why why is the printer working non-stop i say because that's a machine it's supposed to work my sister was so impressed with this machine working for my birthday she bought for me a dot matrix printer because when i was storing up scriptures why you story i don't know one day i will need it there are more than 7 700 scriptures in the bible which are promises how many do you know i know one jesus loves me this i know i also know you know the devil no take time to store the scripture oh it may look clumsy you are speaking out to yourself or that he that is in me is greater than he that is in this world people will call you the mumbo jumbo believer or whatever man i tell you what when a crisis is going to happen i'm going to mumbo jumbo and you're going to die amen are you with me i know scriptures man i will throw the weapons of scriptures at the enemy until he gives up because i'm not going to give up because on the day i give up means i'm taken to the glory that's the day i'm giving up are you with me my brothers and sisters don't lose your courage don't lose your joy don't lose your passion because of one man don't lose because of one church i don't understand why you know the church we went to that church you went to okay then this church you are sitting right i show you a proof today the lord showed me are you ready okay let's go this is about jehoshaphat and i'm trying to find that scripture see it should be hiding somewhere jehoshaphat when he was serving god he was a king yes here we go in uh ii chronicles 17 verse 6 the bible says his heart was courageous in the ways of the lord and furthermore he took the high places and the ashram out of judah so you realize that he is not a weak person without faith he had a lot of courage but along the way he did another thing that's another problem that took place jehoshaphat allies with ahab and then the false prophets came into the show you'll read in uh uh chapter 19 the same reformation reformation will take place you'll read in chapter 20 verse 35 after this jehoshaphat king of judah joined with ahaziah king of israel who what look at the wrong alliances that will steal away your faith look at that i want you to pay attention to this the prophet will come and say something very interesting about jehoshaphat that is found in ii chronicles chapter 20 verse 32 and 33 jehoshaphat walked in the way of of asa his father and did not turn aside from him doing what was right in the sight of the lord and the high places however were not taken away and the people had not yet set their hearts upon the god their fathers god in this scripture separated the king who was following god and the people who not yet followed god completely are you with me are you following is that clear and simple you know what god is saying why are you letting a church infect you why are you saying i'm weak because that church was weak i'm like that because that church i'm this way because that pastor god separates people and judge everybody accordingly even if that church was like that but who am i in your life did i fail you did i should exchange you why are you letting someone rob you from the passion and the joy for jesus i have never failed you look at this jehoshaphat was not charged like other kings because the people were still following idols god did not put the church on him even though he made some mistakes along the way that i just told you the alliances for example verse 35 we just read look at verse 36 he joined this wicked king okay haha in building ships to go to tashi's and they built the ships to zion gerber and then the prophet will say you did this wrongly you did not ask god so the lord will destroy the ships that you made full stone that's all that happened to jehoshaphat because you didn't ask me and created wrong alliances in your life that part of the story will be destroyed are you following but what happened to david when he numbered israel everybody was judged david was charged god did not separate him from the nation god saw him as one why when you are a man after god's heart he wants you to know how he feels about things david was not like any other king he was a man set apart by god after his own heart my brothers and sisters what others can do you are not allowed why are you taking other people's sin and become like them god has set you apart it is important to understand the wish of god his prayer for powerlessness doesn't mean he was powerless the prayer of lord i don't have anybody or i don't know what to do doesn't mean he didn't know what to do but he surrendered to god worship releases victory somebody say amen now i wanted to know now let me finish this before the war started the battle started worship was the first thing they were doing they were praising god the bible says when they began to sing verse 22 second chronicles 20 22 when they began to sing somebody say began to sing when they began to sing and praise the lord set an ambush against the men of ammon moab and mount syria how did the lord said ambush i don't know the angels created some kind of confusion why it it helped us to understand because the last scripture of verse 23 tells us they all can you read with me they all can you tell me what how can you help to destroy one another the enemies were killing one another a spirit of confusion came from the presence of god where they did not you know same army means you are wearing same type of armor right some i think god blinded them they saw each other as the enemies and they were killing one another and the other guy was helping this guy to kill his fellow soldier they were helping one another god was setting an ambush hey listen hey i'm from god's side i'm rejoicing from being a human i'm not because someone else is dying do you understand what i'm saying but you know when they finish all that they walked back into the city verse 28 they came to jerusalem with harps and liars and trumpets to the house of the lord and the fear of the lord came all the kingdoms of the countries when they heard the lord had fought against the enemies of israel it was god who said the battle is mine it was god who fought the soldiers has to stand and see the salvation of god god is looking for purities ladies and gentlemen god is looking for people who will give praise and worship to god in purity that we did not do anything god did it from day one god is looking for that praise and that worship god is looking when we are giving praise and worship we don't have to uh say any names you know sometimes people get offended when they don't say their names as well but you see whose name is equally to be matched to the name of the lord who can you even name there is no other name and when we are giving praise to this very almighty god whose name is worthy enough therefore let's give god the purest of its worship purists of the praise you know worship must start before the war worship must go after the war in the beginning and the end only the name of god must be remembered amen can we all stand up together are we going to praise the lord we're going to worship the lord
