God is showing me alot of things about fighting……
a.  ” there is a battle, not a confrontation ”

I have heard that some people do not like “confrontation”
If you are experiencing a ” battle, a war,  a spiritual blown out attack ”
It is far, from confrontation…………

I am reading in 1 Chron.  about these men who were trained….for Battle
” who could handle a shield = faith
who could handle a sword = Word of God
who could use a bow and were trained for battle ”

vs. 19  ” and they waged war against ” …..they did not roll over
vs. 20  ” The were helped in fighting them ” …..
vs. 21  ” and GOD…GOD handed the Hagrites and all their allies
over to THEM…..

look at how intense the training, the war, the battle and then the
words that God uses …..

” and God handed over “…..if you hand over the keys….
where is the force, where is the lashing, where is the struggle ?

It has everything of gentleness…and no effort…. ?
It is GOD.

Watch this :
vs. 20 .

” BECAUSE, BECAUSE, BECAUSE….they CRIED OUT
to HIM ~~~ ” DURING ”  the battle.

“HE answered their prayers because they TRUSTED HIM.”

Full blown sit down, pour a pop, TRUST…..
I will set it on the coaster and not pick it up trust…..
I give it to YOU GOD……my circumstance ….and I will go on
with my day……I will not take myself out of this BATTLE….

but seriously GOD…..I WILL LET YOU FIGHT THIS ONE……
but seriously GOD…. I will watch YOU hand this one over..

That is how much I believe that YOU love me
                                                        that YOU go before me
that in YOU….there is no struggle.

Why ?   satan is already defeated…..

Basketball game on…..defense, offense, shoot, dribble …game
Buzzer = it is over =  where is the struggle…..no more.
The Scoreboard says =  the enemy was defeated…..
the team is NOT going to go back out and do all that , there is NO REASON
it is over, go to the LOCKER ROOM, over.

The cross, the tomb…..follow God  –  OVER.

Then look what happens…..
The seized  –  the livestock, 50,000 camels, 250,000
sheep 2,000 donkeys,  100 people captive.

vs. 22……” because the battle was GOD’s.  and they occupied
the land untile the exile “….

What you are fighting for….God will hand it over  = TRUST
What you need ….GOD will provide more than enough = TRUST
Where He is calling you to ….YOU WILL OCCUPY = TRUST.

Now the question……is what you are fighting….
are you letting it be God’s battle ?

am I ?
am I ?
