Dear Friend,

I want to take a moment to thank you for reading this letter. Your prayers, encouragement, and support mean more to me than words can express. I deeply appreciate you and your heart for the Lord. It’s such a joy to walk this journey of faith with you, trusting God for His guidance, power, and provision in every area of our lives.

Today, I want to share with you about the incredible power of worship. Worship is more than a song or words—it is a powerful act that aligns us with heaven and opens the door for God to move mightily in our lives.

Let me share a teaching with you from 2 Chronicles 20 that shows how worship can turn impossible situations into victories. In this passage, King Jehoshaphat and the people of Judah faced a terrifying threat: an enemy army three times their size. It seemed certain they would be defeated. In the middle of his fear, King Jehoshaphat made a powerful decision—he positioned himself to seek the Lord. He proclaimed a fast and led his people in prayer and worship.

What stands out to me is how Jehoshaphat prayed. He began by declaring who God is:

“O Lord God of our fathers, are You not God in heaven, and do You not rule over all the kingdoms of the nations, and in Your hand is there not power and might, so that no one is able to withstand You?”  —2 Chronicles 20:6

In worship, he reminded himself and his people of God’s greatness and faithfulness. This is such a powerful example for us. When we face challenges, worship helps us shift our focus from the problem to the One who is greater than any obstacle.

Jehoshaphat then told God the problem: the enemy had come to take what God had given them. He concluded with these words, which are so honest and relatable:

“We have no power against this great multitude that is coming against us, nor do we know what to do, but our eyes are upon You.”
—2 Chronicles 20:12

What a beautiful posture of worship—humility, trust, and surrender. God does not expect us to know what to do all the time, and when we admit it to him like Jehoshaphat did, He is overjoyed to help us.

We see that God’s response was clear and encouraging:

“Do not be afraid nor dismayed because of this great multitude, for the battle is not yours, but God’s.”
—2 Chronicles 20:15

What an amazing promise! The Lord gave the people instructions: they didn’t need to fight, but they needed to stand still and position themselves to see His salvation.

Early the next morning, Jehoshaphat appointed singers to go before the army, declaring, “Praise the Lord, for His mercy endures forever” (2 Chronicles 20:21). As they worshipped, God Himself set ambushes against their enemies, and the enemy armies turned on each other. What could have been a day of defeat turned into a miraculous victory and blessing.

Friend, this is the power of worship. When we lift our eyes to God, magnify His greatness, and trust Him with our battles, we open the door for heaven to move. Worship shifts the atmosphere, silences fear, and aligns us with God’s purposes. It reminds us that the battle is not ours but the Lord’s.

I also want to encourage you with a testimony. A dear friend of mine once faced a terrifying situation: her daughter fell gravely ill with a disease that had taken other children’s lives. In that moment of fear, she, like Jehoshaphat, positioned herself to seek the Lord. As she prayed and worshipped, she heard the Holy Spirit say, “Don’t fear.” Strengthened by this word, she laid hands on her daughter in faith, and God raised her up completely healed. Worship brought the presence and power of God into that impossible situation!

If you are facing a battle today, I encourage you to worship. Declare God’s greatness over your situation. Remind yourself of His promises and faithfulness. Speak the name of Jesus, which is higher than any other name—higher than sickness, fear, or any challenge. When you worship, you align yourself with the power of heaven and open the door for God to move in miraculous ways.
