Pastor Jeremy shares Wednesday in Glendive.

Robin of Loxley vs Little John

1 Chron 20:1 It happened after this that the people of

Moab with the people of Ammon, and others with them

besides the Ammonites, came to battle against

Jehoshaphat. 2 Then some came and told Jehoshaphat,

saying, “A great multitude is coming against you from

beyond the sea, from Syria; and they are in Hazazon

Tamar” (which is En Gedi). 3 And Jehoshaphat feared,

and set himself to seek the Lord, and proclaimed a fast

throughout all Judah. 4 So Judah gathered together to

ask help from the Lord; and from all the cities of Judah

they came to seek the Lord.

1. The first thing that Jehoshaphat did was fear.

a. Some Christians would say that Jehoshaphat

wasn’t in faith because he feared.

b. Some would say that he just needed more

faith

c. Some would ask “what did he do, or what

has he been doing for this to come upon

him”

2. Fear is going to come...circumstances are going to

come...what you do with them will determine the

outcome of your story.

3. You can choose to fight the devil for victory in his

domain...or you can choose to fight from victory in

the spirit.

a. Eph 6:10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in

the Lord and in the power of His might.

b. Col 2:11 In Him you were also circumcised

with the circumcision made without hands,

by putting off the body of the sins of the

flesh, by the circumcision of Christ, 12 buried

with Him in baptism, in which you also were

raised with Him through faith in the working

of God, who raised Him from the dead. 13

And you, being dead in your trespasses and

the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has

made alive together with Him, having

forgiven you all trespasses, 14 having wiped

out the handwriting of requirements that

was against us, which was contrary to us.

And He has taken it out of the way, having

nailed it to the cross. 15 Having disarmed

principalities and powers, He made a public

spectacle of them, triumphing over them in

it.

c. 2 Cor 10:3 For though we walk in the flesh,

we do not war according to the flesh. 4 For

the weapons of our warfare are not carnal

but mighty in God for pulling down

strongholds, 5 casting down arguments and

every high thing that exalts itself against the

knowledge of God, bringing every thought

into captivity to the obedience of Christ, 6

and being ready to punish all disobedience

when your obedience is fulfilled.

4. Jehosophat “Changed the Playing Field”

a. He set himself to seek the Lord

b. He proclaimed a fast

c. He asked help of the Lord

d. He magnified the Name of the Lord

i. Big God, little problem

e. He listened to the voice of the Lord

f. He was a doer of the Word of the Lord
