During the reign of King Jehoshaphat, we are told of three powerful nations gathering in a unified force to utterly destroy Judah (2 Chronicles 20). Through a prophet, the Lord encouraged and instructed the people to position themselves. The battle was the Lord's and they would not need to fight (verse 15-17).
Likewise we are instructed to prepare for war by putting on the full armor of God and positioning ourselves, even in the front lines of the battle were we see the enemy swiftly advancing toward us.
In that moment, we resume the position of faith by standing on God's word. When unbelief, fear or discouragement comes, we recall and rehearse through prayer and worship His promises for deliverance, healing and restoration, even before it's evident! Remember the key words in Ephesians 6:13, having done all to be prepared, we are to stand.
Be encouraged today and stand still and watch the salvation of the Lord (Genesis 14:13). You'll never see this enemy again!
