00:00 So, you may be positioned in a hard marriage, but that's the place you must
00:09 fight. You may be positioned in a hard school system, but that's the place you
00:16 must fight. You may be positioned in a hard health situation, but that's where
00:22 you must fight. God has called us to fight the good fight. And, you know,
00:32 we just kind of want to battle in the heavenlies. I've heard of people flying
00:36 in airplanes trying to pull down demons and all the rest, but let me tell you
00:39 where the real fight is. The real fight is in your bedroom. The real fight, yep,
00:43 is when those children come home from school. The real fight is when your
00:47 family gets around the dinner table. The real fight is forgiving your neighbor.
00:51 Your real fight is letting go of the patch. You hear what I'm saying?
00:54 Today, we're going to learn five keys, and the goal is to move you from the back
01:10 to the front, to put you above and not beneath, make you the head and not the
01:18 tail, take you from behind and put you ahead. So we're going to be in 2
01:25 Chronicles 20, verse 1. It says, "It happened after this. King Jehoshaphat was
01:36 35 years when he started his reign, and he started it really, really strong.
01:45 When he came into power, he removed all the idols from the land.
01:49 Unlike his predecessors, he refused to worship Baal. And under his leadership,
01:57 revival broke out in the land for roughly 25 years. And revival is not as elusive as
02:05 many people try to make it. It usually begins with people simply finding the
02:12 courage to address the obvious. Anyone could have looked at the nation and saw
02:18 the idolatry and saw the worship of the false gods and knew that that was the
02:23 place to start. But, you know, most of us really don't need a prophet to tell us
02:30 what's in our way. If we would just listen to our nagging conscience,
02:36 if we would just listen to that witness of the Holy Spirit, and not a thousand
02:41 different, just two or three areas, everything in our lives would shift.
02:49 You see, the only thing between where you are and where you need to be is air and
02:54 opportunity in this upcoming year. It said, "It happened after this.
03:00 Jehoshaphat was one of the rare good kings in Judah, but he had a problem.
03:07 He didn't pay attention to who he hung out with. And he aligned himself with wicked
03:13 King Ahab from the north." In fact, just two chapters earlier,
03:20 his rendezvous with this king almost got him killed. You know, a pastor said this.
03:25 He said, "It's really hard to live a right life when you constantly surround yourself
03:30 with the wrong people." It said, "It happened after this that the
03:38 people of Moab, with the people of Ammon, and others with them,
03:42 besides the Ammonites, came to battle against Jehoshaphat."
03:47 In this life, we are either in a battle, coming out of a battle,
03:51 or going into a battle. In our fallen world, we don't really get what we want.
03:57 We get what we're willing to fight for. How many of you know that's true?
04:01 Second Timothy, chapter 2 and verse 3, Paul encourages the young pastor that's
04:08 struggling at this point in his ministry. He says, "Endure hardness," meaning you
04:15 don't avoid hardness. It's going to come whenever. Timothy was a godly man.
04:19 "Endure hardness," watch this, "as a good soldier." How many of you all heard
04:25 about General Patton in your history books? All right. Well, he said this,
04:30 "A good soldier must fight where he's told and win where he fights."
04:36 So, you may be positioned in a hard marriage, but that's the place you
04:43 must fight. You may be positioned in a hard school system,
04:49 but that's the place you must fight. You may be positioned in a hard health
04:54 situation, but that's where you must fight. God has called us to fight the good fight.
05:05 And, you know, we just kind of want to battle in the heavenlies.
05:09 I've heard of people flying in airplanes trying to pull down demons and all the
05:12 rest, but let me tell you where the real fight is. The real fight is in your bedroom.
05:16 The real fight, yep, is when those children come home from school.
05:20 The real fight is when your family gets around the dinner table.
05:22 The real fight is forgiving your neighbor. Your real fight is letting go of the past.
05:27 You hear what I'm saying? But we have a fight that we must fight.
05:38 Then some came and told Jehoshaphat, saying, "A great multitude is coming
05:42 against you from beyond the sea, even from Syria." So, we see here that at least four
05:49 nations had allied themselves against Jehoshaphat. He's facing overwhelming odds
05:56 and overwhelming numbers. And then the messenger goes on to say,
06:00 and they're not very far away, they're in Hazazan Tamar, which is in En-Gedai,
06:05 which is about a two or three-day march away from there. Actually,
06:09 if they were really serious, they could have gotten there in a day.
06:11 I don't know about everyone in this room, but I'm just curious, you know,
06:16 am I the only one that has ever had a bill, maybe a hostile meeting,
06:23 maybe an uncertain surgery, maybe an impossible court case that was only
06:28 days away, and fear tried to grip you like an ice cube? I mean,
06:35 you felt immobilized by what you were about to face and deal with.
06:41 Well, this is the situation of Jehoshaphat, and I don't think I'd be preaching this
06:45 today if it wasn't the situation of somebody in this room. And it says in
06:50 verse 3, "And Jehoshaphat feared." You see, it's one thing to read about Moses
07:01 at the Red Sea. You know, it's another thing to read about Gideon and his 300.
07:10 It's another thing to read about, you know, Joshua at the walls of Jericho.
07:16 But when it's about your own survival, it quickly gets deep and personal.
07:25 It gets real. And, you know, he had the narratives of what God did in the past,
07:33 but Jehoshaphat had to answer the question, "Would God do that for me?"
07:39 And I'm grateful for what God has done for others and what he's done in the past,
07:43 but the $6 million question is, "What will I believe that God will do for me?"
07:50 And Jehoshaphat was in his zero hour. The clock had struck midnight,
07:58 and this was not a story. I mean, when you got defeated in battle,
08:03 your kids were taken as slaves. You were...often the king himself was killed.
08:09 Your people went into slavery. It was a horrible thing.
08:13 They weren't coming with rubber bullets. They weren't coming with, you know,
08:17 just a couple billy clubs. They were coming with spears and knives
08:22 and chariots, and they would cut you up and not feel bad about it at all.
08:27 They had bows and arrows, and people's lives were on the line.
08:32 And Jehoshaphat feared. I will tell you, if you walk long enough
08:39 with the Lord, you will have some moments where you have to deal with fear.
08:49 But it's what we do when we're afraid that makes all the difference
08:54 in the world. So here we have this man, his legs are trembling.
09:01 It's like, man, it seems so much easier when it was Moses and my forefathers.
09:06 But Lord, right now, I'm not so impressed with myself.
09:09 God, I'm frightened. And in this situation, Scripture says,
09:16 "And he set himself." It didn't say he ran away.
09:25 He didn't fall apart. But what he did was make a decision,
09:31 and he set himself. And there are moments in your journey that you will have to
09:37 brace yourself and set yourself, control yourself, handle yourself in order
09:47 to manage the moment. If I had a dollar for each time in my journey that I felt
09:57 like running but I didn't, I'd be able to pay off our entire mortgage.
10:05 But Jehoshaphat set himself. Some decisions you're not just going
10:12 to waltz into. You have to make a concentrated and honest and earnest
10:18 decision to do the thing. So instead of giving in to his fear and just,
10:28 you know, talking to everybody about how hurt he was and getting a psychologist to
10:33 talk about what happened to him when he was a child and how that plays into the
10:36 moment and all the rest, he set himself to seek the Lord,
10:45 which meant the king was willing to change his daily routine.
10:49 Maybe he watched two less movies that week. Maybe he took a day off from work.
10:56 Maybe he went on some long walks. Maybe, you know, he started reading the
11:01 Bible for himself. Maybe he even started to talk out loud to God.
11:07 You know, if you got to cry, if you got to grunt, if you must shout,
11:11 get it out, but get it on the altar. And this is what Jehoshaphat did.
11:21 And he proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah. He was struggling,
11:30 but he used his resources. And for us, it would be our church family.
11:36 And he proclaimed a fast like we have done in these 21 days throughout all Judah.
11:44 And this fast was saying that God was more important than the food they ate,
11:50 that God was more important than the things they did, the places they went.
11:55 Sometimes all faith is is taking God seriously at that time.
12:02 So Judah gathered together to ask help, watch this, from the Lord.
12:08 And from all the cities of Judah, they came to seek the Lord.
12:14 Unity is one of our most powerful spiritual weapons.
12:19 And this is why the devil tries so hard to tear us apart, keep us apart.
12:23 I mean, he'll find the smallest thing to get us the harp on to break our unity
12:29 because that's where our power is. But most of us have learned his game.
12:38 Satan must subtract love and understanding before he can divide.
12:43 So there's always a subtraction and a hardness that comes before he divides,
12:48 and we got to learn to stop letting him do it.
12:55 Then Jehoshaphat stood in the assembly of Judah and Jerusalem in the house of the
13:00 Lord where all of us are today, and I'm glad you're here.
13:04 And they stood before the new court, and they got on the line,
13:08 and they connected. And watch this.
13:13 And he prayed, and here's his words, "Oh, Lord, God of our fathers,
13:19 are you not God in heaven? And do you not rule over all the kingdoms
13:30 of the nations? And in your hand, is there not power and
13:36 might so that no one is able to withstand you?" This prayer goes on like this for
13:45 six verses. And we see in this prayer that Jehoshaphat was wise enough not to make it
13:54 all about him but all about God. And when you are in a difficult situation
14:01 and it's still all about you, you're going to stay in that situation until you can
14:05 make it all about your king and your God. The greatest results happen in fasting
14:11 and praying when it's about God's glory and not our own. Stay with me.
14:18 Now, all Judah, even with the babies, and it's important for us to worship
14:22 with our babies. You know, yeah, you want, "How come my kids don't listen?"
14:27 Because they watch. Be more concerned about your kids watching
14:33 what you do than them listening to what you say. And if you're not faithful,
14:41 they're not going to be faithful. If you don't come to church,
14:45 don't be surprised your kids don't. That was free. Now, all Judah with their
14:54 little ones, their wives, the whole family, and bring your family,
15:00 stood before the Lord. After they had fasted, after they had prayed,
15:09 they move on to this next thing. You see, there are three obligations
15:16 that Jesus gives every single Christian without exception.
15:23 Giving, fasting, and praying. Matthew 6 and 3 says this, "When you give,
15:35 not if you give." So God expects all of us to put some of our strength behind the
15:41 work of the kingdom. Matthew 6, 5 says, "When you pray,
15:48 not if you pray." Matthew 16, 19, and 20 says, "When you fast,
15:58 not if you fast." So don't expect the promised output if you don't offer the
16:09 proper input. Jesus said it this way, "What measure you meet shall be measured
16:16 back unto you." If you lean in a little bit, God said,
16:20 "I'm going to lean in a little bit." But if you lean in big,
16:23 I'm going to lean in big. And what happens in times of crisis,
16:29 we haven't leaned in. So we don't get the results we want,
16:35 and we read the stories and the narratives in the Bible, but we just read the promise
16:39 and the end without looking at the process. First, they fasted.
16:45 Then they prayed. But it doesn't stop there. Watch what happened in 14.
16:51 Then the Spirit of the Lord came upon Jehazel, Jehazi...that guy.
16:58 Jehazi-Jeh. The son of Zechariah, the son of Ben-Ananiah,
17:04 the son of Jeho, the son of Mattaniah, a Levite of the son of Asaph,
17:10 in the midst of the assembly. So they fasted, they prayed.
17:16 They didn't get their breakthrough yet. But after they fasted and prayed,
17:22 the Holy Spirit moved. There's some things you will only hear
17:28 from God after you fast and you pray. There's some things that are dialed up on
17:34 a certain level that until you get serious enough, you're not going to hear the
17:38 answer until you want to know. God hides certain things from the
17:42 dispassionate. Verse 15. So they fast, they pray,
17:50 and then the Word of God's released. And the prophet said, "Listen,
17:54 all of you of Judah and you inhabitants of Jerusalem and you,
17:59 King Jehazaphat. Thus says the Lord to you."
18:03 God says, "Do not be afraid." Now, there are people around the world
18:09 that pray. There are religions that require you to pray five times a day.
18:16 This may bother you, it might surprise you, but I do not pray
18:19 because I'm religious. The reason I pray is because I have real enemies.
18:25 I have real problems, real limitations, real situations in my life that I can't
18:36 just wish away. I need answers from a real God with real
18:43 wisdom and real power. I don't got time to play.
18:48 I need God and that's why I pray.
18:55 So the prophet said, "Thus says the Lord to you. Do not be afraid."
19:03 God knows how you feel. But you need to remember who He is and who
19:10 you represent, who you are, to whom you belong. Nor be dismayed.
19:22 He was saying to the king and the people, "You need to put your game face on.
19:29 You need to collect yourself, maintain your resolve, stay the course,
19:34 stay in the game, do not be moved. Square your shoulder,
19:38 show yourself a man, show yourself a woman. Do not back up because the Lord God is
19:45 with you." He said, "Don't be afraid.
19:49 Don't be upset. Everyone else is afraid.
19:50 Everyone else is..." But don't be afraid because of this great multitude.
19:53 But here's the point. The prophet didn't pretend that they didn't
19:56 have a big problem. He just pointed them to a big God.
20:00 And sometimes I have big problems. Sometimes you have big problems.
20:03 But we have a big God. So don't be overwhelmed by the mountain
20:07 in your way because God's bigger than any mountain.
20:09 You understand what I'm saying? For the battle is not yours.
20:17 The prophet was saying, "Take the burden off of your
20:20 inabilities, inabilities, and let go and let God."
20:28 Jesus said, "My yoke is easy, my burden is light."
20:32 And when I get to carry in my problem, it gets heavy, it gets hard.
20:38 But when I give it to God, there's a lightness that comes.
20:42 But hear me, don't think I just got it like that.
20:47 I'll get news like you get news, and it'll hit me, and then I'll carry it
20:53 for a minute. But then I'll take it to the Lord,
20:55 and I'll get on my face, and I'll cry it out, I'll worship it,
20:59 I'll praise, I'll bring it to God. And then somehow the problem's the same,
21:05 but I'll walk out of that prayer closet different.
21:08 He said, "For the battle is not yours." I love it when God says things like this.
21:28 I don't know if I have more faith than more people, or just my mama gave me more
21:34 common sense, I'm not sure. But over the years, in my lightning-fast
21:43 mind, I mean, they said, "I may not know how to do the
21:46 quadratic formula. I don't follow everything about the laws
21:51 of relativity, but I've learned some basic things.
21:59 If God brings me to it, He's going to bring me through it."
22:03 I may not have a degree in physics, I may not understand all that's in our
22:13 genome, and there's just some things I don't get, but I'm smart enough to know
22:20 that God cannot create a rock He can't lift. So there can't be a human problem
22:27 He can't solve. So I've learned to give it to God and go
22:33 to sleep. Let everybody else figure it out.
22:38 Let everybody else analyze it, dissect it, argue over it.
22:44 I'm going to go to sleep. And then he said this, and what I'm about
22:51 to say is important. He said, "Tomorrow, go down against them,
22:56 so they fasted, they prayed, and they received a word from God."
23:03 It's important. "But notice, despite God's promise to fight
23:08 for them, they still had to show up."
23:15 Just because the battle is the Lord's doesn't mean there's not anything else
23:18 for you to do. They fasted, they prayed, they heard,
23:31 and then they obeyed. Would you say that with me?
23:34 They fasted, they prayed, they heard, then they obeyed.
23:42 Say it with me, "I must fast, I must pray, I must hear,
23:48 but I must obey." So watch what's happening here.
23:52 So they did all these things, but in order for them to win the victory,
23:55 they had to go down. They had to obey what God said.
24:01 Verse 17, "You will not need to fight in this battle," but like I just said,
24:08 "but you will need to show up." If you want to stay on the spiritual map,
24:15 you got to keep showing up. In the Bible, David also said,
24:22 "The battle is the Lord's." But he still had to find the courage
24:27 to run at Goliath with his sling. So this battle you're fighting belongs
24:33 to the Lord, but you still need to get in possession.
24:36 You still need to do the thing God's telling you to do.
24:39 You still need to show up so God can show out and do what only God can do.
24:45 But then he continues. He says, "You will not need to fight,
24:50 but I do need you to," what? "Position yourself."
24:53 You see, if you position yourself well enough, God will make sure your
24:57 circumstances do the rest. God will fight for you, but if you're
25:03 out of position, you're not going to win. Get to where God told you to go and stay.
25:11 He says, "Stand still. Don't run. Don't back up.
25:16 And see the salvation of the Lord." He was saying, "Fast, pray,
25:24 but don't forget to obey." And what we do is sometimes we substitute
25:31 doing the right thing with fasting and praying. We'll even go to church and hear,
25:38 but we won't do. So the miracle happened when they did.
25:47 Then he said, "And see the salvation of the Lord who is," what? "With you."
25:51 And, you know, at the end of the day, that's all that matters.
25:54 Not everyone's opinions, not everyone's feelings, not everyone's judgment.
25:57 What matters is God's presence. Then he said, "Oh, Judah and Jerusalem,
26:03 oh, Grace Church," sitting in Dumfries and across the internet,
26:09 "Do not fear or be dismayed. Don't choke. Don't punk out.
26:19 Don't get out of the position I assigned you. Don't quit.
26:24 Tomorrow, you still got to show up. I'll fight, but you got to show up.
26:30 Go out against them for the Lord is with you." And what God was saying is,
26:35 "I'm with you. I got you, but you got to show up."
26:38 And God is saying to some of you in this room, "You got to show up.
26:42 You got to get in the room. You got to deal with the issue.
26:45 Don't avoid it. You got to show up. And then if you show up,
26:48 God will do what God can do, but he won't do it apart from you."
26:52 Jesus prayed at Gethsemane, but he still had to go to the cross.
27:01 Faith without works is dead. And Jehoshaphat bowed his head with his
27:11 face to the ground. And sometimes, you know, God's just so good.
27:16 I mean, he was trembling a couple of moments ago.
27:20 All you can do is bow your head in worship and say, "A thousand may fall
27:24 at my left hand, 10,000 at my right, but it shall not come near me.
27:31 As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.
27:35 If God did it for anybody, God will do it for me."
27:42 And he bowed to the ground and began to worship God and all Judah and all the
27:49 inhabitants of Jerusalem bowed before the Lord, worshiping the Lord.
27:54 And when worship is done right, it becomes contagious.
27:59 There's nothing more wholesome. There's nothing more self-actualizing,
28:04 more beautiful than a man or woman truly worshiping his or her creator.
28:12 I mean, when we worship, it's like a horse running.
28:15 I mean, it's beautiful like a jaguar with its prey, you know.
28:21 I mean, it's us in our natural environment. It's unnatural when we're worried.
28:26 It's unnatural when we're fretting and fighting and bickering and complaining.
28:31 We become our best selves when we are in the presence of the Almighty just throwing
28:38 down our crowns saying, "God, I worship you. I celebrate you.
28:42 You are God all by yourself, God, and I look to you.
28:46 I am creature. You are divine, and I submit.
28:50 I yield. I'll go your way.
28:53 Whatever you want me to do, Lord, I'll do what you say.
28:56 I'll be who you want me to be, God." That's the most natural thing for a
29:05 human to do. Then the Levites and the children of the
29:16 Korathites and of the children of the Korahites stood up to praise the Lord God
29:24 of Israel. Watch this.
29:29 With loud and high voices. "Stop being so stiff.
29:39 You're shouting the boxing match. You shout the football game.
29:47 You shout at the basketball game. You shout every place else except the place
29:57 that matters most. You are on the winning team.
30:01 Our God always wins. He's about to score.
30:07 If you look to Him and trust Him and praise Him, praise Him,
30:15 praise Him. From the rising of the sun to the going
30:22 down of the same, His name, His name, His name is worthy,
30:28 worthy, worthy to be praised. Anyone in this house got some praise for
30:36 the living God. Hey!
30:41 If it had not been, if it had not been, if it had not been,
30:49 if it had not been for the Lord on my side, my side, my side, my side."
31:01 I'm so grateful for what he did for Daniel. I'm grateful for what he did for the woman
31:12 with the issue of blood. I'm grateful for what he did
31:17 for the blind man. But I want to tell you what he's done
31:23 for me. I got reason to praise him.
31:30 You got reason to praise him. It's not just in a book.
31:35 We've all experienced his goodness day after day, morning after morning.
31:40 He has kept us, preserved us, upheld us. He's proved himself to be a faithful God.
31:51 And if you don't praise him, the rocks will cry out.
31:55 I don't want no tree to rave its branches in my place.
31:59 I don't want no bird chirping songs in my place.
32:05 I have a God that's worthy, a God that's faithful, a God that's committed,
32:10 powerful, loving, and will never, ever, ever let me go.
32:15 You either. Give God a hallelujah.
32:25 If he did it for me, he'll do it for you. He's not a respective person,
32:31 a friend that sticks closer than a brother. Let me tell you how God likes his praise.
32:39 God said, "Worship him with the sound of the trumpet.
32:45 Praise him with the flute and the harp. Praise him with the timbrel and dance.
32:53 Praise him with the stringed instruments and flutes.
32:56 Praise him with the loud cymbals, the clashing cymbals.
33:00 Let everything that has breath, if you got breath in your lungs,
33:06 let everything that has breath, if you got strength in your body,
33:12 let everything that has breath. Praise the Lord.
33:17 Come on, give it to him the way he likes it.
33:20 Give it to him out loud. Give it to him with a hearty voice.
33:24 Give it to him with strength. Hallelujah.
33:29 Hallelujah. It's breaking, it's breaking, it's breaking.
33:37 It's breaking off your family. It's breaking off your mind.
33:41 It's breaking off your body. It's breaking off your finances.
33:52 So, they rose early in the morning and went out into the wilderness of Tekoa.
34:00 And as they went, Jehoshaphat stood and said, "Hear me, O Judah,
34:04 and you inhabitants of Jerusalem." His legs were shivering at one point,
34:09 but now there's a boldness and a strength. And when you seek the Lord and lean in,
34:16 there'll be a boldness and a strength. He said, "Believe in the Lord your God,
34:22 and you shall be established. Believe his prophets,
34:27 and you shall prosper." And what he was saying was, "Cook or get
34:33 out of the kitchen. Fish or cut bait.
34:40 Fast, pray, hear, but above all, obey." And when he had consulted the people,
34:53 it seems he went to all of the heads of the tribes.
34:56 And, you know, even when you think you heard from God,
35:00 the Bible says every word is confirmed out of the mouth of two or three witnesses.
35:06 The Bible says this, it actually warns us, there's wisdom in a multitude
35:10 of counselors. So, he heard from God, but he went to God.
35:15 I mean, I'm not talking about go talk to everybody.
35:18 But when you think God's speaking to you, find someone that loves the Lord,
35:22 that walks with the Lord, that's been in the way for a while,
35:25 and get some input and let him sharpen you. And he appointed those who should sing
35:34 to the Lord and who should praise the beauty of holiness.
35:41 Holiness is beautiful. A man or woman you could trust in your life,
35:48 a man and woman separate and dedicated to God is beautiful.
35:56 We praise the beauty of His holiness as they went out before the army,
36:01 and this is what they were saying, "Praise the Lord, for His mercy never
36:06 gives up, never gives out, never gives in, for His mercy endures forever."
36:16 What we find here is that Jehoshaphat and the elders decided that in order
36:23 to win the battle, they had to put their praise up front.
36:31 If you want to win your battle, you're going to have to put your praise
36:37 out front. Somebody said, "Complainers may change
36:45 their complaints, but they'll never change the amount of time they complain,
36:53 because their complaint is more about character than the character
36:56 of their situation." After you fast, after you pray,
37:04 after you hear and obey, all that's left is the praise.
37:14 Praise was the evidence of their faith, and praise remains the evidence
37:22 of your faith. When you can praise Him before the victory,
37:28 God has had you step out into a vulnerable position and situation,
37:33 but you have obeyed. And in the midst of you standing there,
37:36 you lift your hands to God and give Him praise and honor,
37:39 though the army's in front of you, that multitude's standing in your way,
37:47 but you praise. Now, when they began to what?
37:53 Sing and to praise. And the challenge is we read our Bible,
37:56 but we only read pieces, and I'm going to try to stop in just a second.
38:00 We read this and say, "Well, you know what? If I would just praise,
38:05 God would defeat my enemy." That's not what happened.
38:08 They fasted, they prayed, they heard, they obeyed.
38:14 Obedient praise is the most scary thing the devil can ever hear.
38:24 Miriam said it again. Obedient praise is the most dangerous thing
38:32 the devil could ever hear. So, when they began to sing praise,
38:38 and this is my last verse, the Lord sent ambushes against the people
38:43 of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir, who had come against Judah.
38:48 In other words, they began to attack themselves.
38:53 The devil would rather kill himself than hear obedient praise.
39:01 God can tolerate a singer with a song, but he can't tolerate real praise that
39:06 comes from the heart. And when you've really given yourself
39:10 to the Lord, and you're singing out a place of surrender and destiny,
39:16 there's nothing the devil can do about that. So, you could go through these 21
39:22 days and go through the form, but if you put your heart behind it,
39:29 you're going to find power and deliverance like you have not imagined.
39:35 So, it says, "And they were what? Defeated." And I'm done.
39:46 So, if God's people would humble themselves, fast and pray, hear and obey,
39:57 and give God all the praise, nothing, no thing will be too hard
40:03 for our God. Give God a hallelujah and a hand clap
40:09 for being faithful, a friend that sticks closer than a brother.
