About this sermon
Have you ever felt like your problems stopped coming one at a time and started ganging up all at once? In this powerful Sunday message, Pastor James Wilson reminds believers of a truth that changes how we face every battle: it was over before it began. Drawing from the account of Jehoshaphat in 2 Chronicles 20, when enemies joined forces to come against Judah, the sermon points us back to the response that positions us for victory. Not panic, not retreat, but getting back to the basics of faith. Pastor Wilson walks the church through three power moves the believer can never afford to forget. First, fasting and praying, laying ourselves vulnerable before God and inviting Him to search us before we ask anything of Him. Second, recounting who God is, because faith comes from knowing how big our God is, not how big our problems are. Third, remembering who and where we stand in Him, set in place, standing still, and watching the salvation of the Lord. This message is a reminder that the battle was never ours to carry. When we hand God our problems, we are preparing to give Him the glory. He is our foundation of peace in the middle of every fight, and the same God who defeated it before it started is still fighting for us today. "The battle is not yours but God's." Stop telling God how big your problems are, and start telling every problem how big your God is.
