Position yourself in faith. Jesus will fight the battle between good and evil!

Three armies were coming against the nation of Judah. They would be hopelessly outnumbered. The King called out to God in prayer! The answer the Lord gave was;
 
Listen, all you of Judah and you inhabitants of Jerusalem, and you, King Jehoshaphat!
Thus says the Lord to you:
Do not be afraid nor dismayed because of this great multitude, for the battle is not yours, but God’s. Tomorrow go down against them. They will surely come up by the Ascent of Ziz, and you will find them at the end of the brook before the Wilderness of Jeruel. You will not need to fight in this battle.
 
Position yourselves, stand still and see the salvation of the Lord, who is with you. O Judah and Jerusalem! Do not fear or be dismayed, tomorrow go out against them, for the Lord is with you. 2 Chronicles 20:15-17 NKJV
 
The people of Judah marched out with singers praising God in front of them. They met their enemies exactly where God said they would be. God brought about a great victory for His people because they positioned themselves in faith!
       
My wife and I experienced the heartbreak far too many parents know. Our sons became addicted to drugs. We were stressed to the breaking point. Our faith in God never failed. We did teeter on the brink of hopelessness and despair.
 
When the Lord gave us this verse of scripture our perspective changed. We began to see the battle for our sons as the Lord’s. We accepted that we were helpless in the battle against evil. We believed the battle is the Lord’s and He is always victorious! 
      
On a clear winter night I looked up into the night sky. I beheld the magnificence of God’s creation. I prayed; “Lord you created the heavens and the earth. You created the stars in the night sky. You call each one of them by name. You are able to deliver my sons from bondage!”
 
The Lord spoke to me that night. He said, “I will deliver them!” Since that night I have known God will bring healing and restoration into their lives! 
       
It is often a struggle to believe Jesus will fight our battles.
 
Our middle sons journey through the land of practical unbelief has taken him to jails and rehabs. He calls himself a born again believer in Jesus Christ. One day He will position himself in faith and see the salvation of the Lord who has been with him all these years.
 
Our older son lives in another state. He has gone off into the bondage of unbelief. God is going to deliver him. He will deliver them because they belong to Him! 
 
I do not know what battles you face. I do know if you trust God He will fight them for you. He will fight your battles because you belong to Him. Jesus will fight your battles because He is with you and for today!

    ​Jesus can use you to shake the foundations of the prison and set people free!
     
    Now it happened, as we went to prayer, that a certain slave girl possessed with a spirit of divination met us, who brought her masters much profit by fortune telling. This girl followed Paul and us, and cried out, saying, “These men are servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to us the way of salvation.” And this she did for many days. But Paul, greatly annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out that very hour. Acts 16:16-18 NKJV
     
    The slave girl was speaking the truth. She was possessed by an evil spirit. The evil spirit was drawing people away from Christ! 
     
    This attack came as God’s servants went to prayer. The enemy of our souls attacks when we step out in faith. Satan seeks to distract us. He wants us to focus our attention on things other than Jesus.
     
    The devil perverts the truth. He uses it against us. No one can serve two masters. This girl was speaking the truth about Paul and his companions while practicing witchcraft. When people claim to speak for God we must consider how they live.
     
    The girl followed the disciples for several days before they cast the demon out of her. It is important for us to wait on the Lord before stepping out in faith. The bible tells us Paul was greatly annoyed by this girl. Paul was not fearful. The Lord was with Him! 
     
    Paul and Silas were put in jail. The owners of the slave girl were angry at the loss of income when the demon was cast out of her. While Paul and Silas were in jail they shared the gospel with the jailer. His entire household was saved. 
     
    God uses Satan’s attacks for His glory and our salvation!
                       
    Satan is a real being. He takes people captive to do his will. There really are demons who seek to destroy God’s people and bring destruction to our world.
     
    We have nothing to fear from the devil or his demons when we live according to God’s will. We have nothing to fear from anyone or anything when we step out in faith to serve Jesus! 
     
    Jesus wants us to fear Him and Him alone. He wants us to know His power and authority are unequaled in all of creation.
     
    God wants you share the gospel of Jesus Christ with the people in your life. Jesus wants you to walk in great boldness because He is with you everywhere you go!
     
    Jesus can use you to shake the foundations of the prison and set people free!
