“He said, “Listen to me, King Jehoshaphat and all you people living in Judah and Jerusalem.
The LORD says this to you:
‘Don’t be afraid or discouraged because of this large army. The battle is not your battle, it is God’s.
Tomorrow go down there and fight those people.
They will come up through the Pass of Ziz.
You will find them at the end of the ravine that leads to the Desert of Jeruel.
You won’t need to fight in this battle.
Just stand strong in your places, and you will see the LORD save you.
Judah and Jerusalem, don’t be afraid or discouraged, because the LORD is with you.
So go out against those people tomorrow.’ – 2 Chronicles 20:15-17

Stand strong. The Lord will save you.

Don’t be afraid. The Lord is with you.

My favorite part of this set of verses is ‘you won’t need to fight in this battle.’

Sometimes… we strive when we should stand strong.

Foundations of Faith

Foundations of Faith

There are two reasons for failure to live a victorious Christian life. The first reason is that some who are trying to live like Christians have never been born again. They do not understand the basic doctrines of Jesus Christ. The second reason for failure is not going on to spiritual maturity. The focus of this study is that  maturity.

Kingdom Living

All men live in a natural kingdom of this world. They live in a city or village which is part of a nation. That nation is a kingdom of the world. In addition to the natural kingdoms of this world there are two spiritual kingdoms which exist.

Kingdom Living

Every person alive is a resident of one of these two kingdoms: The kingdom of Satan or the Kingdom of God. This study concerns the Kingdom of God. It introduces the two spiritual kingdoms, their rulers, and residents. It provides spiritual keys for gaining access to the Kingdom of God and warns of things which result in being cast out.
