God’s Word tells us, If God is for us, who can
be against us!!! When GOD IS ON OUR SIDE,
HE is ALL we need!!!!
Romans 8:31 (CEV) What can we say about all this? If God is on our side, can
anyone be against us?
When we follow God and allow HIM to lead us, we can’t
lose!!!
2 Kings 6:8-12 (NKJV)
8 Now the king of Syria was making war against Israel;
and he consulted with his servants, saying, “My camp will be in such and such a
place.”
9 And the man of God sent to the king of Israel, saying,
“Beware that you do not pass this place, for the Syrians are coming down
there.”
10 Then the king of Israel sent someone to the place of
which the man of God had told him. Thus he warned him, and he was watchful
there, not just once or twice.
11 Therefore the heart of the king of Syria was greatly troubled by this thing; and he
called his servants and said to them, “Will you not show me which of us is for
the king of Israel?”
12 And one of his servants said, “None, my lord, O king;
but Elisha, the prophet who is in Israel,
tells the king of Israel
the words that you speak in your bedroom.”
GOD sees and knows ALL things!!! If we could ONLY see the things that God sees
and know what HE knows, we would truly understand that THOSE WHO ARE FOR US ARE
MORE THAN THOSE WHO ARE AGAINST US!!!!
2 Kings 6:13-23 (NKJV)
13 So he said, “Go and see where he is, that I may send
and get him.”
And it was told him,
saying, “Surely he is in Dothan.”
14 Therefore he sent horses and chariots and a great army there, and they came by night and surrounded the city.
15 And when the servant of the man of God arose early and went out, there was an army, surrounding the city with horses and chariots. And his servant said to him, “Alas, my master! What shall we do?”
16 So he answered, “Do not fear, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.”
17 And Elisha prayed, and said, “Lord, I pray, open his eyes that he may see.” Then the Lord opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw. And behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.
18 So when the Syrians came down to him, Elisha prayed to the Lord, and said, “Strike this people, I pray, with blindness.” And He struck them with blindness according to the word of Elisha.
19 Now Elisha said to them, “This is not the way, nor is this the city. Follow me, and I will bring you to the man whom you seek.” But he led them to Samaria.
20 So it was, when they had come to Samaria, that Elisha said, “Lord, open the eyes of these men, that they may see.” And the Lord opened their eyes, and they saw; and there they were, inside Samaria!
21 Now when the king of Israel saw them, he said to Elisha, “My father, shall I kill them? Shall I kill them?”
22 But he answered, “You shall not kill them. Would you kill those whom you have taken captive with your sword and your bow? Set food and water before them, that they may eat and drink and go to their master.”
23 Then he prepared a great feast for them; and after they ate and drank, he sent them away and they went to their master. So the bands of Syrian raiders came no more into the land of Israel.
We may be surrounded on every side by the enemy, but GOD WILL MAKE A WAY FOR US!!! HE WILL FIGHT OUR ENEMIES FOR US!!!
2 Chronicles 13:1-2 (CEV)
1 Abijah became king of Judah in Jeroboam’s eighteenth year as king of Israel,
2 and he ruled from Jerusalem for three years. His mother was Micaiah the daughter of Uriel from Gibeah.
Some time later, Abijah and King Jeroboam of Israel went to war against each other.
When we are faithful to God and we heed His commands, GOD IS ON OUR SIDE!!! NO ONE CAN STAND AGAINST OUR GOD!!! And no one can stand against us when we rely on HIM!!!
2 Chronicles 13:3-4 (NKJV)
3 Abijah set the battle in order with an army of valiant warriors, four hundred thousand choice men. Jeroboam also drew up in battle formation against him with eight hundred thousand choice men, mighty men of valor.
4 Then Abijah stood on Mount Zemaraim, which is in the mountains of Ephraim, and said, “Hear me, Jeroboam and all Israel:
2 Chronicles 13:5 (CEB) Surely you know that the Lord, Israel’s God, made an unbreakable covenant with David and his descendants that they would rule Israel forever.
14 Therefore he sent horses and chariots and a great army there, and they came by night and surrounded the city.
15 And when the servant of the man of God arose early and went out, there was an army, surrounding the city with horses and chariots. And his servant said to him, “Alas, my master! What shall we do?”
16 So he answered, “Do not fear, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.”
17 And Elisha prayed, and said, “Lord, I pray, open his eyes that he may see.” Then the Lord opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw. And behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.
18 So when the Syrians came down to him, Elisha prayed to the Lord, and said, “Strike this people, I pray, with blindness.” And He struck them with blindness according to the word of Elisha.
19 Now Elisha said to them, “This is not the way, nor is this the city. Follow me, and I will bring you to the man whom you seek.” But he led them to Samaria.

We can rest assured that every promise that GOD makes us will be fulfilled!!!! When God makes a covenant, no one can break it!!! God’s covenant with David was from everlasting to everlasting!!!
2 Chronicles 13:6-11 (NKJV)
6 Yet Jeroboam the son of Nebat, the servant of Solomon the son of David, rose up and rebelled against his lord.
7 Then worthless rogues gathered to him, and strengthened themselves against Rehoboam the son of Solomon, when Rehoboam was young and inexperienced and could not withstand them.
8 And now you think to withstand the kingdom of the Lord, which is in the hand of the sons of David; and you are a great multitude, and with you are the gold calves which Jeroboam made for you as gods.
9 Have you not cast out the priests of the Lord, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and made for yourselves priests, like the peoples of other lands, so that whoever comes to consecrate himself with a young bull and seven rams may be a priest of things that are not gods?
10 But as for us, the Lord is our God, and we have not forsaken Him; and the priests who minister to the Lord are the sons of Aaron, and the Levites attend to their duties.
11 And they burn to the Lord every morning and every evening burnt sacrifices and sweet incense; they also set the showbread in order on the pure gold table, and the lampstand of gold with its lamps to burn every evening; for we keep the command of the Lord our God, but you have forsaken Him.
When trust in the LORD, we can rely on HIM and know that HE will always come through for us!!!
2 Chronicles 13:12-13
(NCV)
12 God himself is with us as our ruler. His priests blow the trumpet to call us to war against you. Men of Israel, don't fight against the Lord, the God of your ancestors, because you won't succeed."
13 But Jeroboam had sent some troops to sneak behind Judah's army. So while Jeroboam was in front of Judah's army, Jeroboam's soldiers were behind them.
No matter what the enemy plans, God is always victorious!!! If we listen carefully to The Lord, HE will show us every ditch that the enemy has dug for us!! When we call upon The Lord, HE will make sure that our enemy falls into the ditch that he dug!!!
2 Chronicles 13:14-18 (NKJV)
14 And when Judah looked around, to their surprise the battle line was at both front and rear; and they cried out to the Lord, and the priests sounded the trumpets.
15 Then the men of Judah gave a shout; and as the men of Judah shouted, it happened that God struck Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah.
16 And the children of Israel fled before Judah, and God delivered them into their hand.
17 Then Abijah and his people struck them with a great slaughter; so five hundred thousand choice men of Israel fell slain.
18 Thus the children of Israel were subdued at that time; and the children of Judah prevailed, because they relied on the Lord God of their fathers.
WHEN WE CHOOSE TO LISTEN AND OBEY GOD, WE WILL FOLLOW IN HIS WAYS!!! WE WILL SUCCEED!!! AND WE WILL PROSPER!!!

3 for he removed the altars of the foreign gods and the high places, and broke down the sacred pillars and cut down the wooden images.
4 He commanded Judah to seek the Lord God of their fathers, and to observe the law and the commandment.
5 He also removed the high places and the incense altars from all the cities of Judah, and the kingdom was quiet under him.
6 And he built fortified cities in Judah, for the land had rest; he had no war in those years, because the Lord had given him rest.
7 Therefore he said to Judah, “Let us build these cities and make walls around them, and towers, gates, and bars, while the land is yet before us, because we have sought the Lord our God; we have sought Him, and He has given us rest on every side.” So they built and prospered.

11 And Asa cried out to the Lord his God, and said, “Lord, it is nothing for You to help, whether with many or with those who have no power; help us, O Lord our God, for we rest on You, and in Your name we go against this multitude. O Lord, You are our God; do not let man prevail against You!”
12 So the Lord struck the Ethiopians before Asa and Judah, and the Ethiopians fled.
13 And Asa and the people who were with him pursued them to Gerar. So the Ethiopians were overthrown, and they could not recover, for they were broken before the Lord and His army…
