You Won't Have to Fight

"You will not have to fight this battle. Take up your positions; stand firm and see the deliverance God will give you, oh Judah and Jerusalem. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. Go out to face them tomorrow and the Lord will be with you."
2 Chronicles 20:17

It is rare that I would write something believing that it is truly a prophetic word for us. But today is one of those days. I know that there are many who have been fighting battles that have worn you out. Today, this is your word. I know, with all my heart, that God is going to fight the battle for you. His word to you is this: "You will not have to fight this battle." Still, there are things you must do.
    Take up your position! This means that you must understand and exercise your position in Christ. It is not enough to believe you have Christ's authority, you must act on it. Go out there and take up your position!
    Stand firm! Some days, you just have to hang on. You have to say, "I am not going to give up ground today. I am going to stand here and watch God fight the battle for me." These may be days when you don't feel very victorious. You may not feel that you are advancing, you may not feel like you're winning. These are the most important of times, to stand your ground.and stand firm.
    Do not be afraid or discouraged. These are easy words to write, but much more difficult to live. The reality is; sometimes we are afraid. Sometimes we are very discouraged. But God is promising us that he will show up. What looks like the most difficult battle, will turn out to be one in which we simply watch God fight for us. It is a vantage point that is critical for us. We must not go out in our own strength and fight hand to hand.We need to allow God to fight for us.
    Now that we know all of this, the final command is: "Go out and face them tomorrow and the Lord will be with you." Take this as a prophetic word today. You may be facing a daunting battle today or tomorrow. Allow God to fight the battle. Just go out there and face it...God will be with you. This is his word for all of us today.
