During corporate worship at The Healer's House, there was a sound being released through the instruments as the saints offered jubilant praise to God. This sound was likened to war drums. It permeated the atmosphere. I was overtaken by the sound and wondering if anyone else was hearing it. Suddenly, I heard the LORD say "I am assembling my people." The sound was a call into alignment.
In 2 Chronicles 20, we read about the battle Jehoshaphat was facing. He feared and set himself and all of Judah to seek the Lord. The Lord answered "Be not afraid or dismayed at this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God's. You shall not need to fight in this battle; take your positions, stand still, and see the deliverance of the Lord... (verses 15,17 emphasis added AMP)
The sound grew intense as we worshiped in the spirit. A woman who was dancing before the Lord released a shout as she picked up a child that was dancing next to her. She carried the child as one does an infant and she danced - swirling around. The Lord revealed that her shout and act of picking up the child was symbolic of His victory and deliverance.
God gave me understanding that it's time to assemble and position ourselves to SEE His deliverance despite of the chaos around us in the natural world. Victory has been established. When we assemble corporately and worship in spirit and in truth, the sound causes the enemy's camp to come into a state of confusion.
Jehoshaphat "appointed (assembled) singers to sing to the Lord and praise Him in their holy [priestly] garments as they went out before the army." And WHEN they began to sing and to praise, the Lord set ambushments against the men of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir who had come against Judah, and they were [self] slaughtered." (verses 21, 22)
They destroyed one another! No one escaped. Now hear this! Not only was the battle won but the spoils of their enemy was given to them - more than they could carry away, so much they were three days in gathering the spoil. (verse 25) A season of recompense (harvest) is at hand! Do not miss it because you have allowed fear to silence your praise Assemble yourself back into position! "Believe in the Lord your God and you shall be established; believe and remain steadfast to His prophets and you shall prosper!"
A WORD OF ENCOURAGEMENT:
"Be not afraid or dismayed at this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God's. You shall not need to fight in this battle; take your positions, stand still, and see the deliverance of the Lord.
~ God
