A king sent singers to the front lines.
No weapons.
No armor.
Just voices.
And their enemies destroyed each other.
This actually happened.
And it reveals something most Christians never use.
2 Chronicles 20:1-30
King Jehoshaphat faced three armies.
Outnumbered.
Outgunned.
Surrounded.
He had two options: panic or pray.
He chose something else entirely.
Jehoshaphat didn't call for more weapons.
He didn't gather more soldiers.
He appointed SINGERS to march at the front of the army.
Not warriors.
Worshipers.
And here's what happened next.
2 Chronicles 20:22-23:
"As they began to sing and praise, the LORD set ambushes against their enemies...
And they destroyed one another."
The worship didn't just encourage the army.
It activated God's intervention.
Here's what you need to understand.
Worship wasn't an emotional outlet for Jehoshaphat.
It was a WEAPON.
A strategic act of warfare.
He sent praise BEFORE he saw victory.
And that's what triggered the breakthrough.
This isn't the only time.
Paul and Silas worshiped in prison, chains fell off (Acts 16).
Joshua's army shouted at Jericho, walls collapsed (Joshua 6).
David played the harp, demons fled from Saul
(1 Samuel 16).
Worship doesn't just make you feel better.
It shifts the spiritual atmosphere.
You treat worship like a mood booster.
Something you do when you FEEL like it.
But Jehoshaphat didn't FEEL like worshiping.
He was terrified.
Surrounded by armies.
And he worshiped ANYWAY.
Because worship isn't about your emotions, it's about God's authority.
Next time fear tries to paralyze you…
Don't run.
Don't panic.
Don't spiral.
Put on a worship song.
Speak praise BEFORE you see proof.
Declare His faithfulness while you're still surrounded.
That's when the breakthrough comes.
Jehoshaphat sent worship to the front lines.
And God ambushed his enemies.
You're facing something right now that feels impossible.
Stop fighting in your own strength.
Send worship ahead of you.
Praise Him before the victory.
Because worship isn't just a song.
It's a weapon.
And it's time you used it.

“And he said, “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.”
II Chronicles 20:15
“And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed those who should sing to the Lord, and who should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army and were saying: “Praise the Lord, For His mercy endures forever.””

Testimony Tuesday
There will be times in our Christian walk where God will allow us to struggle. Not because He is a mean God, but because He loves us enough to prepare and strengthen our faith to endure hardship.
Our faith is tested through trials and struggles, not produced by trials. Trials reveal what faith we do have; not because God doesn’t know how much faith we have, but so that our faith will be evident to ourselves and to those around us.
Trials also produce patience and endurance (perseverance). These are the fruits of trials.
Each time we face a challenge, or trial, do we face it with fear, grumbling and complaining? Or, do we believe God has a purpose for allowing this affliction? Let’s believe there is a purpose to get us where we need to belong.
In the following video, listen to this young woman’s observation as she witnesses a scenario that can be applied in our daily Christian walk.
1 “My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials,
2 knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience.
3 But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.” James 1:2-4
1 “Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
2 through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
3 And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance;
4 and perseverance, character; and character, hope.” Romans 5:1-4

This second video may sound familiar to some of you. It is the powerful testimony of Major Jeff Stroeker at Liberty University. (Full video link below)
He shares his riveting testimony of bravery, in one of the most gruesome firefights in military history. The battle was best known in the book Black Hawk Down, and later a movie.
If you have never heard of his testimony I would encourage you to watch the full video.
All I can say is…AMAZING.
He knew his life was in God’s hand. He had made up his mind to fully trust God in the midst of a horrendous battle, and God delivered him.
“We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed—”
II Corinthians 4:8-9

Testimony Tuesday
Praying for something or someone for a very long time? Perhaps it is for a loved one needing salvation. Or perhaps you’re needing a personal breakthrough with an issue you have been struggling with for many years.
Whatever the prayer request, you’re still waiting for an answer and before you know it disappointment and frustration can slowly eat away at your faith sometimes, especially when there is no glimmer or hint of an answer on the horizon.
It’s easy to get discouraged. You begin to think; Maybe this isn’t going to happen.
Trust me, I have felt this way many times myself in the past.
You become weary.
Doubt creeps in.
Your countenance is being leveled to a point of believing God has simply forgotten you.
Then we pause and humble ourselves before God and realize how powerless we are.
So we empty ourselves before Him with reverence, and begin to thank Him. That’s right.
We give thanks in the situation.
This pleases God.
The atmosphere begins to shift. Your attitude changes.
You begin to praise Him.
Believe it or not, this is faith in action.
And I’ll say it again…this pleases God!
Moving forward, your prayers begin to change…
“God, I don’t know how this is all going to work out, or know why but I do know this; I trust You even when it seems like there is nothing happening and yet I will give thanks because You are still worthy.”
This is trusting in the Lord when everything is still hidden…again, faith in action.
This is complete surrender to the Lord.
You begin to posture yourself in a place of that complete surrender.
Praise and thanksgiving.
This is His will for you.
You willfully choose to abide in Him no matter the outcome.
You willfully choose to wait on the Lord with confidence.
Hebrews 10:36 says,
“Therefore do not cast away your confidence, which has great reward. For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise:”
What is the will of God you ask?
““Rejoice always, pray without ceasing,”
in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.”
I Thessalonians 5:16-18
This pleases God.
In today’s video testimony we are reminded to give the Lord praise and thanksgiving while waiting.

Testimony Tuesday
Sometimes when I am preparing for the next testimony I’ll come across a subject that truly speaks to my heart in a way I’ve never considered before.
There have been times I felt frustrated with God because I feel like He’s not seeing what is going on or hearing my prayers.
If we’re honest with ourselves, I think we are all guilty of praying based on how we feel rather than what we know, especially if we have been praying for something for a very long time.
Frustration begins to surface.
Hope begins to fade.
Perhaps fear sets in.
But what if we changed our perspective about how we pray?
And more importantly our attitude of our prayers. In other words how we posture those prayers…from fear to acknowledging who God is.
This is what I know…
God can handle our frustration.
I know that He hears me, even when it seems like He doesn’t.
He knows the end from the beginning.
And, He sees everything.
He is still good.
Also, remember that ol’ devil wants us to place feelings over facts, and fear over faith.
We just need to flip those tables upside down, and do the opposite.
Today’s video gave me a new perspective in how I pray going forward.
I pray this blessed you like it did for me.
“Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever.”
Psalms 136:1
