Fearful and worried about the opposition coming against you? Do you feel the odds look dismal, for your victory? Take heart, God fights your battles. The country of Judah had three countries declare war on them and a vast army marched against them. The king reacted, by calling the country to fast food and pray, seeking God, as they had no way in the natural, to protect themselves. They asked God to intervene on their behalf and he responded to them.
“The Lord says, ‘Don’t be afraid! Don’t be paralyzed by this mighty army! For the battle is not yours, but God’s! Tomorrow, go down and attack them! You will find them coming up the slopes of Ziz at the end of the valley that opens into the wilderness of Jeruel. But you will not need to fight! Take your places; stand quietly and see the incredible rescue operation God will perform for you, O people of Judah and Jerusalem! Don’t be afraid or discouraged! Go out there tomorrow, for the Lord is with you!’” (2 Chronicles 20:15b-17 TLB)
The king told the people to believe the Lord. A choir led the army praising, worshipping and thanking God. At the sound of their worship, the Lord intervened and gave them victory over their enemies. The enemy turned on each other and killed everyone. When Judah arrived, all they saw were dead bodies. It took Judah three days, to carry all the plunder of jewels, money and clothing. On the fourth day, they praised the Lord and renamed the place, Valley of Blessing. They had rest from all their enemies because the Lord had fought their battle. What looked like certain defeat, ended in tremendous victory.
God is the same yesterday, today and forever. He fights your battles, when you seek him with thankful worship and praise. Your biggest battle turns into the greatest victory and blessing! Rejoice!

There is too much power in your mouth, for you to keep it closed, by what’s going on in your life. There is way more power in your mouth, than the devil will ever have over your life!
Speak Victory, speak Life, speak Faith. Speak the Word! It’s getting ready to happen!

God created you with a purpose and will complete the good work started in you. He is actively involved in your life and is with you. He sees the finished design inside of you and works to see it completed. This may involve life changes. Enjoy the process and know you are a beautiful work in progress.
I thank you, God, for making me so mysteriously complex! Everything you do is marvelously breathtaking. It simply amazes me to think about it! How thoroughly you know me, Lord! You even formed every bone in my body, when you created me in the secret place; carefully, skillfully you shaped me from nothing to something. You saw who you created me to be before I became me! Before I’d ever seen the light of day, the number of days you planned for me were already recorded in your book. (Psalm 139: 14-18 TPT)
For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus. (Philippians 1:6 NASB)

I want to bless my people and love on My people. My heart is to bless and prosper you, even in the midst of adversity, there will be prosperity.
Your anchor holds and grips the government of God, the solid Rock, not the government of men. Behold, I have given great plans concerning you, made great advances, for you, and designed a great inheritance, for you. Walk and live in the freedom, of them. Enjoy my blessing, enjoy my favor, for you are my greatest treasure.
Open, open up, open up to Me, and I will release to you GREAT AND MIGHTY THINGS. Plunge into the day with victory, run into the future, with My promises. Dance, in the fortune of heaven’s bounty. Bask, in the sunrays of My Love. Behold, the beauty of My heart for you. Be enthroned, in the care of My grace.
You are seated in heavenly, governing, supernatural places. Therefore, LIVE on top of the world, with My fortune, and move with the Cloud. When you refuse to move, you limit Me, in how far I want to bless you. However, when you move, you unlimit Me to bless you, beyond measure. Miracles in movement. When you move with Me, there will be miracles released, in each movement.
Fear not, for I am not only with you, but I went ahead of you, addressed your future, and it is very, very bright. So take no thought on how it will be done or what you will have to endure.

It all begins with the mind. As a man thinks, so is he. Whatever thoughts you dwell and meditate upon is what you become. Focus your mind on God, not your struggles and change will manifest from your inside to the outside of you.
Cry out to God and ask him for help! He hears and answers.
So here’s what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him. Don’t become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You’ll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you.

Don’t give people the power over your life that should only be given to God. I repeat: Don’t give people the power over your life that should only be given to God. We give people way too much power over us, like God can’t bless us, by himself. (Psalm 75, promotion comes from the Lord, not from man).

This season of time is new and unfamiliar. The challenge is to walk in the new, leave the old familiar ways of thinking and doing things, It is time to discard the old familiar garments of the sinful nature, with its stinking mental and emotional garbage, sinful self-absorption, self-interest, pursuit of pleasures of the flesh, and how you conducted yourself. Yield to God’s Spirit, as you wear the fresh new clothes of abundant life, with humility and love.
Live God’s way and he gives you good fruit that transforms your life. He gives us compassion, for others in our hearts, bubbling joy, great affection for others and wholeness. When we are in Christ, everything connected with getting our own way and living for our flesh’s pleasure, we kill, nailing them to the cross of Jesus. We wear our new outlook and clothes! Holy Spirit leads and we follow into amazing life transformation, of prosperity and blessing.
“But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things! Those who belong to Christ Jesus have nailed the passions and desires of their sinful nature to his cross and crucified them there. Since we are living by the Spirit, let us follow the Spirit’s leading in every part of our lives. Let us not become conceited, or provoke one another, or be jealous of one another.” (Galatians 5:22-26 NLT)

I rise this day in deep travail for God’s people.
Father, I honor and Glorify you, the KING, of all kings, and LORD, of all lords. Father, God-Almighty, in Yeshua’s name, I bring my flesh, self, and ideology, down, into subjection, to You. I intercede, for the needs of your people. I cry out to you, Lord, for the heart cries, of your people.
I repent and turn from every perverse way and carnal course of life. I repent for forsaking You, the Fountain of Living Waters, and hewing out my own broken cisterns, that can hold no water.
Holy, Holy, Holy Spirit, draw us, restore us, by your loving kindness, back to the Fountain of Living Waters. I repent for every bent and wayward way of thinking, that does not lead us to You.
We repent and denounce, every altar, that does not spur us to worship You. We return our hearts, our nations, to You.
Through meeting your requirements, You promised, You would hear from heaven, forgive our sin, heal, mend, repair, cure, and make our nations, whole.
Amen and Amen and Amen.
(2 Chronicles 7:14)
