You rule over all the kingdoms of the nations. In your hand are power and might, so that none is able to withstand you&#8230; O our God, will you not judge them? For we are powerless against this huge army that attacks us; we do not know what to do: but our eyes are upon you (\u05db\u05bc\u05b4\u05d9 \u05e2\u05b8\u05dc\u05b6\u05d9\u05da\u05b8 \u05e2\u05b5\u05d9\u05e0\u05b5\u05d9\u05e0\u05d5\u05bc)&#8230; After he prayed, the Spirit of God spoke forth: &#8220;Thus says the LORD to you, &#8216;Do not be afraid and do not be dismayed at this great horde, for the battle is not yours but God&#8217;s'&#8221; (2 Chron. 20). Amen, Lord, our eyes are upon you&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>This teaches us the great principle of our spiritual warfare: &#8220;the battle is not yours but God&#8221; (\u05dc\u05b9\u05d0 \u05dc\u05b8\u05db\u05b6\u05dd \u05d4\u05b7\u05de\u05bc\u05b4\u05dc\u05b0\u05d7\u05b8\u05de\u05b8\u05d4 \u05db\u05bc\u05b4\u05d9 \u05dc\u05b5\u05d0\u05dc\u05b9\u05d4\u05b4\u05d9\u05dd). So be encouraged in the midst of your struggle. Listen for that song singing: &#8220;Do not be afraid and do not be dismayed&#8230; for the LORD will be with you.&#8221; (2 Chron. 20:15). Recall what King David said to the giant Goliath: &#8220;The LORD saves not with sword and spear. For the battle is the LORD&#8217;s, and he will give you into our hand&#8221; (1 Sam. 17:47). Therefore may we look to the Lord and remain steady in our times of testing, friend!<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4798\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hebrew4christians.com\/training\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/2chron20-15b-analysis.gif?resize=567%2C634&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"567\" height=\"634\" \/><\/p>\n<audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-4797-1\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"https:\/\/hebrew4christians.com\/training\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/2chron20-15b-jjp.mp3?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/hebrew4christians.com\/training\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/2chron20-15b-jjp.mp3\">https:\/\/hebrew4christians.com\/training\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/2chron20-15b-jjp.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/hebrew4christians.com\/Blessings\/Blessing_Cards\/2chron20-15b-lesson.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2 Chron. 20:15b reading page (pdf)<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In light of the threat of an invasion from the east, King Jehoshaphat (\u05d4\u05de\u05dc\u05da \u05d9\u05d4\u05d5\u05e9\u05e4\u05d8) of Judah prayed: &#8220;O LORD, God of our fathers (\u05d9\u05d4\u05d5\u05d4 \u05d0\u05b1\u05dc\u05b9\u05d4\u05b5\u05d9 \u05d0\u05b2\u05d1\u05b9\u05ea\u05b5\u05d9\u05e0\u05d5\u05bc), are you not God in heaven?
