Victory in Jesus’ Name
“Asa had an army of three hundred thousand out of Judah who bore bucklers and spears, and two hundred eighty thousand out of Benjamin who bore shields and drew bows. All these were mighty men of valor. Zerah the Ethiopian came out against them with an army of a million troops and three hundred chariots, and he came to Mareshah. Then Asa went out to meet him, and they set the battle in array in the valley of Zephathah at Mareshah. Asa cried to Yahweh his God, and said, “Yahweh, there is no one besides you to help, between the mighty and him who has no strength. Help us, Yahweh our God; for we rely on you, and in your name are we come against this multitude. Yahweh, you are our God. Don’t let man prevail against you.” So Yahweh struck the Ethiopians before Asa and before Judah; and the Ethiopians fled. Asa and the people who were with him pursued them to Gerar: and so many of the Ethiopians fell that they could not recover themselves; for they were destroyed before Yahweh and before his army; and they carried away very much booty.” (2 Chronicles 14:8-13 WEB)
The Ethiopian army was almost double the size of Judah’s army.
In this challenging time for the world, many have lost their jobs and are depending on their dwindling savings to survive.
It may seem like your resources or strength remaining is greatly insufficient for the challenges ahead of you.
Perhaps you don’t have enough money to pay your bills. Or maybe you have no strength left to handle the sea of tasks and chores remaining.
Instead of dreading your doom, why not switch your perspective to become excited to see Jesus’ great deliverance in your life?
It is an opportunity for Him to demonstrate His glory and power. It will be a great show to watch, and you have front-row seats.
When you exit unbelief and enter faith, you will see your victory over the challenges.
Jesus will turn the tide in your favor. When you have Him, your side becomes the majority.
Asa declared that there was no one to help besides Yahweh. He called himself “him who has no strength”.
In other words, he ceased from self efforts, and placed all his faith in the Lord.
Asa didn’t depend on the bucklers, spreads, shields and bows. He went out to battle relying only on the name of Yahweh.
Is your trust in your smarts, money, abilities, connections, beauty, etc?
Or is your faith in the name of Jesus?
Jesus is not just ‘good to have’—He is all you need!
When you put all your faith in Him, miracles happen. The Holy Spirit’s promptings in your spirit suddenly become very clear.
Like Asa, instead of a tragic defeat, you will enjoy victory and emerge with lots of booty—by God’s Grace!
