It's the Lord's Battle
The Angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear Him (who revere and worship Him with awe) and each of them He delivers. Psalm 34:7
In the Old Testament, people carried banners when they went to wat, sending the singers and praisers into the battle first. When the tribe of Judah sang, "Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good, for His mercy endures forever"
2 Chronicles 20:21 After consulting with the people, the king ordered some musicians to put on the robes they wore on sacred occasions and to march ahead of the army, singing; "Praise the LORD! His love is eternal!"
, the enemy was so confused they were self-slaughtered and self-defeated
2 Chronicles 20:22 When they began to sing, the LORD threw the invading armies into a panic.
When King Jehoshaphat prepared for battle, he took the position of getting on his face to worship God
2 Chronicles 20:18 Then King Jehoshaphat bowed low, with his face touching the ground, and all the people bowed with him and worshipped the LORD.
If you have battles to face, get in the position of warfare, and just worship the Lord. God's response to our worship is, "Be not afraid or dismayed at this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God's"
2 Chronicles 20:15 Jahaziel said, "Your Majesty and all you people of Judah and Jerusalem, the LORD says that you must not be discouraged or be afraid to face this large army. The battle depends on God, not on you.
**Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path**
