This past week has been a challenging week for many people and their families. So many seem have a HUGE mountain ahead of them that looks like it is impossible to see over. I have been praying all week for strength and increased faith to face these mountains without fear or doubt. It finally clicked with me that none of us have to cross these mountains ourselves because Our Lord will destroy them for us. I saw many standers fearing court cases and divorce papers, their spouses words and actions, the "other person", what their family and friends will say, and countless other mountains that seemed impossible to cross or break down.We must remember that we are praying to our Lord Jesus WITH FAITH to change our hearts, our spouses hearts, renew our marriages and families, and bring our loved ones home. Our Lord is moving on the other side of these huge mountains and when the time is perfect he will destroy that mountain all together. He doesnt need us to fear these mountains nor does he need our help in destroying them. I bring our spouses to the Lord Jesus today asking him for his healing power to touch their hearts, minds, bodies and souls. I Ask him to draw them in to him and return them to the arms of their loving spouses and families. I ask the Lord to come into the hearts and minds of us, the standers, and give us the faith and strength to be still and let him move our mountains. In Jesus name I pray.

Amen and Amen


"And when they began to sing and to praise, the LORD set ambushments against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, which were come against Judah; and they were smitten." (2 Chronicles 20:22)

Alleluia! Singing and praising your way to victory! Singing and praising your way through discouragement, oppression, depression, fear, and worry. ...and they were three days in gathering of the spoil it was so much. (v.25)

In this passage, driving an enemy out entitled the victor to all the spoils of battle. The army of Judah so routed the enemy that it took them three days to collect all the booty the enemy had left behind. And the victory was wrought not by fighting but by singing and praising the LORD!

The LORD responded to the prayers of His people by reassuring them with these words: "...the battle is not yours, but GOD's (v.15) Alleluia!

With this assurance, the king of Judah appointed singers and praisers to go out before the army and to praise the LORD. When they began to sing and praise, the enemy was defeated.

The key is to 'begin'. Victory is dependant upon doing something. To begin - to begin by counting blessings. To begin to enumerate past deliverances. To begin to praise the LORD. To begin to sing songs of deliverance. The LORD inhabits the praises of His people. (Psalms 22:3)

When the LORD's presence comes into our setting of praise and worship, the enemy is powerless against us, as we sing our way through the battle and win the victory the same way Jehosaphat's army won. Singing and praising the LORD is an effective weapon in our spiritual warfare.

Amen and Amen
