Keys To Victory (Part 8)

Keys To Victory (Part 8)

In the closing Verses of 2 Chronicles 20 there are four results of the benefits of victory which you will experience when you learn to triumph in impossible situations. They are:
 

(1)Reaping.  

God not only delivered His people from their foes, He enriched them with the spoils of the enemy. It took three days to gather all the valuables (2 Chronicles 20:25).  Satan was defeated at the cross of Calvary and it took Jesus three days to carry away the spoils of the enemy!   Begin to reap the spoils of spiritual victory by:

a. Snatching your unsaved mate from Satan's evil clutches.  

b. Exercising your rightful authority over your children.  

taking control of your finances.   

c. Taking authority in every area where the enemy has established a stronghold.

(2) Releasing.  

The Valley of Berachah was located between Bethlehem (where David was anointed as king of Israel) and Hebron (where he fortified a refuge against his enemy, Saul). "Berachach" means "blessing," so the place of blessing is situated spiritually between the "anointing" and the "refuge".  Immediately after his victory over the enemy, Jehoshaphat gathered God's people together to reverse the curse of the bad report and release the blessings of God upon the people.

(3) Rejoicing.  

The people assembled in the house of the Lord before going out to battle and returned there after their victory with tremendous joy, praise, and music (2 Chronicles 20:27-28). If we would venture out in faith to confront our enemies instead of hiding and cowering in fear, perhaps we, too, would assemble with more joy when we come to the house of the Lord.

(4) Resting.  

Enemy forces were still encamped just over the hill and across the streams, but they were not a threat to Jehoshaphat because God gave him rest  (2 Chronicles 20:29-30).

You will be surrounded by enemy forces as long as you are in this world, but you do not have to be troubled by them. Never again wring your hands and cry, "I just don't know what to do!" You will be too busy reaping the spoils of victory by reversing the curse by releasing the blessing, rejoicing over the victory, and resting in God.
