The battle is the LORD's

Last week we began by recognizing that we are indeed in a very real spiritual battle (Ephesians 6:12). Because of this, we are told to live Battle Ready! 

In 2nd Chronicles 20, THREE armies declare war against King Jehoshaphat. Everyone is TERRIFIED as their destruction seems certain. Rather than running away in fear or fighting according to his own strength or wisdom, Jehoshaphat shows us where to turn when the battle around us is raging–READ 2nd Chronicles 20:12

The Almighty (Rev. 1:8) Rescuer/Deliverer (Romans 11:26) and Redeemer (Job 19:25), who is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords (1 Tim. 6:15), is in you and greater than the one who is in this world (1 John 4:4).

Remember, the battle is the Lord’s!

Discussion

1.What spiritual battles are you currently facing? 

2.In what ways are you trying to fight the battles you regularly encounter? How is that going for you? 

3.What can we learn from the example of Jehoshaphat in 2 Chronicles 20? 

4.What does it practically look like to lean on God’s power instead of your own when it comes to the spiritual battles you encounter?
