Readings: (ESV)

2 Corinthians 4:8-9

⁸ We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; ⁹ persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;

2 Chronicles 20:6
⁶ and said, “O Lord, God of our fathers, are you not God in heaven? You rule over all the kingdoms of the nations. In your hand are power and might, so that none is able to withstand you.

1 John 4:4

⁴ Little children, you are from God and have overcome them, for he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.

Psalm 91:11

¹¹ For he will command his angels concerning you
    to guard you in all your ways.

Psalm 21:8

⁸ Your hand will find out all your enemies;
    your right hand will find out those who hate you.

2 Chronicles 20:12

¹² O our God, will you not execute judgment on them? For we are powerless against this great horde that is coming against us. We do not know what to do, but our eyes are on you.”

Ephesians 1:18-21

¹⁸ having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, ¹⁹ and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of his great might ²⁰ that he worked in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places, ²¹ far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come.

2 Chronicles 20: 14-15
¹⁴ And the Spirit of the Lord came^[a] upon Jahaziel the son of Zechariah, son of Benaiah, son of Jeiel, son of Mattaniah, a Levite of the sons of Asaph, in the midst of the assembly. ¹⁵ And he said, “Listen, all Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem and King Jehoshaphat: Thus says the Lord to you, ‘Do not be afraid and do not be dismayed at this great horde, for the battle is not yours but God's.

 _____________________________ 

The Spirit of the Lord Says: 

1.) Do not be afraid. It's about trust.

2.) Do not be discouraged.

3.) The battle is not yours, it's God's.

4.) You will not have to fight this battle.

5.) Take your (prayer) positions.

6.) Stand firm on what you know.

7.) You will see the deliverance the Lord will give you today.

8.) It's time to move out, to move forward, to face that issue.

9.) And the Lord will be with you.

Prayer:

Lord, open our eyes, that we may see. We want to take that leap of faith for you. We know we're in a land of struggle, but we know that you are the one who will lead us and guide us.

And, Father, we want to trust you today with our lives and with out hearts. And we ask that you would come in and forgive us and love us and guide us.

What a privelege it is to call you "Father". 

In Jesus' name, Amen.

(Dear Listeners, This is a re-broadcast from a time when we had very high production costs to remain on radio. We sincerely thank all the listeners who kept us on the air for more than 20-years.

Since we are now totally on-line, and are running on minimal costs, we are no longer soliciting funds, going forward.)

But we do thank you, listeners, for your encouragement and prayers.  Please also tell others about this program, and don’t forget to visit our website. You will find several of our programs available on podcasts.                             

Don’t forget to worship in a church where the gospel is soundly proclaimed and lived out with compassion, integrity, and resolve.

May you know Jesus Christ personally and profoundly. May the Holy Spirit reside deep within your heart. And may the heavenly Father surround you with his constant and abiding and accompanying love.

Rev. Don Crisp and Rev. Dr. Allen Churchill
