The Battle Is Not Yours But God's!

About this sermon

What do you do when you don’t know what to do? When the battle is bigger than you, the odds are against you, and there seems to be no way out, God's word has given you a strategy for victory. This powerful classic message was born out of three days of prayer and fasting in the Catskill Mountains, where Dr. Morris Cerullo received a revelation from 2 Chronicles 20 that would become one of the landmark messages of his ministry. And in the cabin next to him during that time was legendary evangelist R.W. Schambach. In 2 Chronicles 20, King Jehoshaphat and the people of Judah were surrounded, outnumbered, and facing what looked like certain defeat. In the natural, there was no answer. But Jehoshaphat prayed one of the most powerful prayers in Scripture: “We don’t know what to do, but our eyes are upon You.” Dr. Cerullo shows that this is where victory begins. When you stop focusing on the size of the battle and fix your eyes on God, something changes. Jehoshaphat moved from fear to prayer, from pressure to surrender, and from looking at the enemy to looking at the Lord. Then God spoke: “The battle is not yours.” Dr. Cerullo drives home a life-changing revelation: the battle was never between you and the devil. It has always been between God and the devil—and the devil has no power over God. In this message, you’ll discover how to: Move from fear into faith Approach God with confidence Stand on what God has already said Take your eyes off your circumstances Surrender the battle completely into God’s hands Position yourself to hear God speak into your situation Let praise become part of your victory Dr. Cerullo also teaches a powerful principle from Jehoshaphat’s prayer: before he ever talked to God about the problem, he reminded himself of who God was, what God had promised, and the power God possessed. He brought God’s own Word before Him and declared, in effect, “You said it.” Whatever battle you may be facing in your body, your family, your finances, your mind, your ministry, or your future, this timeless message will challenge you to stop trying to win in your own strength and place the battle where it belongs—in God’s hands. And when Judah finally received God’s word, they didn’t march out depending on swords, shields, or human strength. They sent the singers first and praised God as He brought the victory. You may not know what to do. But you can know where to look. “We don’t know what to do, but our eyes are upon You.” Watch with expectation. Stand on God’s Word. Turn the battle over to Him. And remember: The battle is not yours. It is God’s. 📖 Scripture: 2 Chronicles 20 Subscribe for more classic Morris Cerullo messages, School of Ministry teachings, and powerful moments from the Morris Cerullo World Evangelism archives.
