Partnering with God-Part 1


John 16:33 “These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world."

Partnering with God is a must to achieve any type of success in this life. God needs to be your partner:
-In Your Business
-In Relationships
-In Covenant
-In Worship
-In Resources

He's your Partner in Life’s Battle!

Jahaziel’s Prophecy to Jehoshaphat concerning the Ammonites, Moabites, and the inhabitants of Seir:

2 Chronicles 20:17 “You will not need to fight in this battle. Position yourselves, stand still and see the salvation of the LORD, who is with you, O Judah and Jerusalem!' Do not fear or be dismayed; tomorrow go out against them, for the LORD is with you."

-Hear the right instructions-Jehoshaphat listened and worshipped.
-Have the right posture-Stand with your eyes open and ready.
-Hold on one more day-Today may be rough, but tomorrow will come.
-Never let go of His hand-The Lord is with you!

 Moses heard the promise of God for victory!

Deuteronomy 2:24, 25 "'Rise, take your journey, and cross over the River Arnon. Look, I have given into your hand Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his land. Begin to possess it, and engage him in battle. This day I will begin to put the dread and fear of you upon the nations under the whole heaven, who shall hear the report of you, and shall tremble and be in anguish because of you.”

-Rise up-Don’t let yourself stay depressed!
-Begin-Don’t let yourself quit!
-This day-He’s an on time God that is never too late!
-Engage-Your enemy will feel God, but think it is you!

Remember whose side you are on!
Deuteronomy 20:1 "When you go out to battle against your enemies, and see horses and chariots and people more numerous than you, do not be afraid of them; for the LORD your God is with you, who brought you up from the land of Egypt.

Remember who called you into battle!
1 Timothy 6:12 “Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.”

Remember that a faith walk DEMANDS a faith talk!
Romans 8:31-34 “What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us.

Remember who lives within you!
Isaiah 54:16-17 "Behold, I have created the blacksmith who blows the coals in the fire, who brings forth an instrument for his work; And I have created the spoiler to destroy. No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue which rises against you in judgment you shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD.”
