Sunday Words of Encouragement July 24, 2011

Our Pastor's message this morning was based upon 2 Chronicles 20.  My Bible showed notes I had made from another sermon (different church and pastor) in 2000. The messages were a different approach to the same conclusion. All you need for victory... is a WORD from God. These are four steps to find that victory when you are afraid:
1.  Turn your attention to seek help from the Lord. 2 Chron 20:3.
2.  Focus on God's powers and promises as reflected by His Word (the Bible) and His past actions. 2 Chron 20:6 - 12.
3.  Listen, obey and stand on God's Word. 2 Chron 20:15 - 17.
4.  Praise the Lord for who HE is. 2 Chron 20:19 - 22.
Then watch God work, confusing the enemy, providing victory and blessing to you.

Our Praise to God is a weapon against the enemy.

A verse for today:

2 Chronicles 20:15 (NIV)

He said: "Listen, King Jehoshaphat and all who live in Judah and Jerusalem! This is what the LORD says to you: 'Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army. For the battle is not yours, but God's.
This morning we prayed and gave thanks for God's victories on our behalf and for his many blessings. 2 Chron 20:22 - 25.
