Let God fight your battles! ~ Bizwack

Exodus 14:13-14 (New International Version, ©2011)
¹³ Moses answered the people, “Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the LORD will bring you today. The Egyptians you see today you will never see again. ¹⁴ The LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still.”

1. Wrestle in Prayer

2 Chronicles 20:1-4 (New International Version, ©2011)

2 Chronicles 20
Jehoshaphat Defeats Moab and Ammon
¹ After this, the Moabites and Ammonites with some of the Meunites^[a] came to wage war against Jehoshaphat. ² Some people came and told Jehoshaphat, “A vast army is coming against you from Edom,^[b] from the other side of the Dead Sea. It is already in Hazezon Tamar” (that is, En Gedi). ³ Alarmed, Jehoshaphat resolved to inquire of the LORD, and he proclaimed a fast for all Judah. ⁴ The people of Judah came together to seek help from the LORD; indeed, they came from every town in Judah to seek him.

In the verse above, King Jehoshaphat was in a dilemma because he had to opponents. He didn't know what to do so he went and asked God on what to do. He proclaimed a fast. And look, at verse 4, it says THE PEOPLE OF JUDAH. That means every person in Judah, from the adults to the children. Everyone came from every town in Judah just to seek him and bring glory to his name. It's because they knew that there is power in prayer and a united prayer is more powerful. Just imagine, they traveled all that way just to have a massive fasting and prayer event.

And after you've prayed so much, you need to

2. Wait for a WORD

I think everyone knows that before you could do something, you need to have a permission from your parents specially if you're a kid or a permission from someone who is above you or maybe someone who has more authority than you. And we should also ask God first before we act. We need to wait for his word so that we will know that it is his will for us to proceed.

Getting a word from God isn't that hard. You just need to have a frequent devotion time with him and eventually you will hear him speak to you. There are three(3) types of answer that God will tell you:

a. YES - you are ready
b. NO - you can't do this yet
c. WAIT - I have something greater to give to you

Getting a word from God is pretty much like getting the blessings from your Father. Having blessings is much more "cooler" and far more greater than anything in the world.

And finally, you must

3. Worship until you win!

I'd like to tell you a story about a young man who received a letter that stated: "I am gonna be visiting you on Sunday and I'll be staying for three days." Well, of course he already knew who was arriving at his house and it was Jesus Christ. After reading the letter, the man eagerly rushed to prepare the most beautiful room in his house with the most expensive thing and everything and bought a lot of food from the market. Then, Jesus Christ came on the appointed day and he was welcomed. While Jesus and the man were eating, something or someone was banging the front door. So the man went and checked who was it, surprisingly, it was a demon and the man desperately tried to close the door as fast as he can and the demon went away. He went back to eating and Jesus asked, "Is there trouble?". The man answered, "No". The next day, the same thing happened again, but this time there were 8 demons. This time, it was harder to close the door but the man managed to close it. Then the next day, same thing happened all over again, but this time there weren't 8, 9, 10 but an army of demons came at the door. The man was already tired to open the door. So this time, it was Jesus Christ who opened it. As he was opening the door, he saw the demon and asked, "Yes? What do you need from this house?". Then demon answered in a frightening voice, "O-Oh nothing, we just had the wrong house.". After that day, the demons never came back to that house ever again.

If you remembered the first verse, Moses said to the Israelites:

"Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the LORD will bring you today."

We shouldn't be afraid to do the tasks that God wants us to do. Because if we do the tasks and bring glory to him,

"The LORD will fight for you"

If you can't fight anymore, just ask God and he will fight for you. What we need to do is to just stand firm in our faith and worship him with all we've got. The battle is already over because God already took care of it even before you asked for his help.
