PROPHETIC VOICE
READ: 2 Chronicles 20:1-25
Believe in the LORD your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper
2 Chronicles 20:20
The voice of the anointed prophet brought establishment to King Jehoshaphat as he listened to and obeyed the voice of the prophet. The forward push you will need in your life and ministry will come to you through the voice of the anointed. The voice of the anointed carries the spirit of counsel and direction that will lead to your establishment.
Jehoshaphat was faced with a very difficult situation. Several kings were about to attack him and his nation was in crisis. He had called for a prayer meeting; much prayer had been offered to the Lord. At the end of the prayer meeting, one of the pastors, Jahaziel gave a prophecy. He prophesied that they were going to win the war because God was going to fight for them.
Jehoshaphat, a church member, exhorted the rest of the congregation to believe in God as well as God’s anointed men. This famous speech teaches us a very great lesson. The first lesson is that believing in God will lead to establishment. The second lesson is that believing in the prophet will lead to prosperity.
Because of his great faith in the man of God, Jehosophat made the choir march out in front of the army. That was a very dangerous move! But he believed in both God and the prophet – and it paid off! At the end of it all,
Jehoshaphat and his followers had more blessings than they could carry away. God blessed them with more than they could carry
