In this stirring sermon, Evangelist Martha P. Davis delves into the profound power of prayer and unwavering faith in God, using the account of King Jehoshaphat in 2 Chronicles 20 as her foundation. She paints a vivid picture of a time when the kingdom of Judah faced overwhelming threats from its enemies yet found victory not through might but by seeking the Lord's guidance and praising His name.
Evangelist Davis emphasizes the importance of gathering in the house of the Lord, not only as a refuge in times of trouble but as a sacred place to pray, seek divine intervention, and worship in unity. She highlights Jehoshaphat's righteous leadership in calling the people to fast, pray, and trust in God, underscoring the timeless truth that battles are not ours to fight alone—they belong to the Lord. Through heartfelt exhortation, she reminds believers of the immense power that arises when God's people unite in faith and praise.
The sermon crescendos with the account of God's miraculous intervention, turning the enemies of Judah against one another and providing an abundant victory. Evangelist Davis calls on listeners to trust boldly in God, remain steadfast in prayer, and embrace the transformative power of praise, for God inhabits the praises of His people and fights on behalf of those who put their trust in Him. With fervor and compassion, she challenges the faithful to reclaim the power of communal worship and live with the confidence that "the battle is not yours, but God’s."
