Immediately he turns to God for His opinion and what to do, calls for a fast and gathers his people to pray and call on heaven for answers.
Jehoshaphat stands up, loudly declaring the works, wonders and praises of his God, reminding his Lord of all the ways He had come through before. He boldly requests justice on his enemies, detailing how they have come against HIM and HIS plan-asking God to intervene on their behalf.
As they all wait before God, it is not Jehoshaphat who receives God's response, but a Levite in the crowd, who in that moment becomes a prophetic voice. He addresses the King, the prayer warriors around him with an answer from the Throne.
Not only does God ensure them of an impossible victory, but He reveals the exact battleplan of the enemy, and then blows their mind with a closing statement-they won't even have to lift a finger to fight!!
They were to quiet their minds, open their hearts and boldly stand on His word; not back up in fear, stand down to the approaching enemy, but to stand still.
The next morning as they set out for battle, Jehoshaphat must have sensed fear rising in the camp, for he reminds them of God's promise, encouraging his people to believe the words of the prophets-he knew there was great hope found there.
Secure in this word from the Lord, he assembles a worship band, having them lead the procession forward. As the praises lift to heaven, God begins destroying their enemy-they even turned on each other!
When God's people arrived at the battlegrounds, they found that the Lord had indeed fought and won on their behalf-not one of them was left! All that was left for them to do was to collect the plunder left behind- an overabundance that took 3 days to gather!
As a result of this unthinkable victory, a deep fear and respect for God fell over the surrounding kingdoms, the land given a rest and peaceful rule.
IF GOD can do that then-what will He do today? Do we believe the Word of the Lord? Do we receive the word of confirming prophets and succeed?
As for me and my house-we do! #2Chronicles20 #Amos0307

Prior to this, I loved my country, but really wasn't into politics-the back and forth between conservatives and liberals irked me to be honest. I disliked the news, could care less about talk shows and was pretty hands off to anything pertaining to Washington DC.
Then we began seeing big names taking to the stage; not just unwilling to defend the unborn, protect our nation, advocate for their citizens, but outright defend and implement legislation that would forever and fundamentally change the foundation of our God founded America.
In 2008, a spark was lit beneath me, that became a roaring flame and despite my fears of the unknown, two years later, I gave Him my "yes", to being His Voice in the earth.
It was then that our Constitution page was born; spreading Truth, supporting righteous candidates and funneling prayer from our virtual "place of meeting" toward issues affecting our nation.
In 2015, I was on my face before God, a warring conflict within, as to where my vote should go. We had one candidate that would never in a million years get my vote-for pro choice stance and betraying our military, yet on the other hand, another who seemed to enjoy playground bullying, stoking the embers of arguments, and with no governing background-it felt like there was no good choice-maybe I would sit out the 2016 Election.
And then I heard His Voice, so clear in my spirit; it changed everything, "I have appointed and anointed him, for such a time as this-but My people have to do their part"
It was so transforming, that God began softening my heart towards this man He had chosen, whether I liked it or not, my opinion did not change this fact. I began to see him with new eyes, listening with new ears-policies over preference. Suddenly, I began seeing prophets emerge with multiple confirmations to the Word I'd been given- that on Election night I wasn't just peaceful to the outcome, but excited for what He had said! What a change God had done in me!
From rolling my eyes to deep intercessory prayer. From confused to clarity. From apathetic to patriot. From intimidated to vessel for Him.
Silence speaks volumes. If we want a free nation to minister in, we have to fight for her. We have to get on our knees and ask God what He would have us do.
Is there a government seat for the righteous to fill, child without a home, advocacy program to start, creative street worship to lead, adoption center to open, or the most powerful and effective of all- hearing His heart for the nations, bringing prayer points that He has revealed, to the Throne?
What would God have YOU do to occupy in His United States of America; establishing territory, taking back what rightfully belongs to His ambassadors in the earth, bringing His plans and purpose to a glorious "on earth as it is in Heaven"?
Whatever He has your name on, do it with all your might. Be the change you wish to see.
