"If disaster comes upon us—sword, judgment, pestilence, or famine—we will stand before this temple and in Your presence (for Your name is in this temple), and cry out to You in our affliction, and You will hear and save." 2 Chronicles 20.9
The Temple of the Lord is the Church where the name in evidence is that of the Lord Jesus Christ. It is the place where we will all cry out in one faith, one spirit and one heart, and He will hear us and deliver us. It happened to Jehoshaphat and his entire kingdom, including their wives and children.
And the answer came immediately, saying: the battle is not yours but of the Lord your God.
"Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit, says the Lord of Hosts." Zechariah 4.6
When a Christian freely surrenders his life over to God and sacrifices his will daily to remain in the faith, he is given the power to win all of his battles by the Spirit of the Lord Jesus.
"He teaches my hands to make war, so that my arms can bend a bow of bronze." Psalm 18:34
The Spirit of God enables us to win every battle. And whatever our hands touch will have a positive outcome. With Him, victory is guaranteed.
"He trains my hands for battle, So that my arms can bend a bow of bronze." Psalm 18:34
We learn with God's chosen ones that the spirit of the battle against evil and the spirit of faith are one and the same. Always revolted against the suffering and slavery of the afflicted.
