Ep 180: Worship Before The Battle

Send us Fan Mail"When panic feels practical, where do you turn? Join us as Jehoshaphat's story reveals how to discern God's voice, trust Him in impossible battles, and discover why worship sometimes becomes your greatest weapon."We talk through what it looks like to trust God when you’re afraid, when you’re outnumbered, and when you don’t know what to do. We follow Jehoshaphat through bad counsel, real repentance, and a breakthrough that comes when praise goes first. • Summer tour updates and why we ask for prayer for travel safety and the hearers • Jehoshaphat and Ahab as a warning about unwise alliances • 400 voices of approval versus one faithful prophet telling the truth • Micaiah’s refusal to speak what people want • Jehoshaphat’s correction and his practical reforms in leadership and justice • Fasting and prayer as the first response to fear • “We do not know what to do, but our eyes are on you” as a model prayer • “The battle is not yours” and what it means to stand firm • Worship placed in front of the army and praise as a battle strategy • God’s ambush, unexpected victory, and grace upon grace in the spoils Please be in prayer for the tour. Pray for the vehicle, pray for our safety. The Gospel is gonna go forward. So pray for that also. Pray for the hearers.
