Tighten the screws on us!

SUMMARY: The sermon is based on the story of Jehoshaphat in Second Chronicles Chapter 20. Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, received news that an army was coming to invade his land, and he called for a meeting with the people to cry out to God for a miracle. The Holy Spirit fell upon Jahaziel, a Levite, and he prophesied that they should not fear the army because the battle was not theirs but God's. The author emphasizes the importance of cultivating intimacy with the Holy Spirit, flowing in the gifts of the spirit, and seeking prophetic instruction from God. The time that the Christian church is living in is a time of great crisis, and it is crucial that the church seeks the prophetic word to know God's plan and purpose.
The church of Jesus Christ needs a prophetic word in this time of crisis and great enemies. We cannot depend on human words and need a direct message from God. Sometimes, we need to stand on the word God has given us and trust in it. We need to fill ourselves with the power of God and move by faith and strict obedience to the Lord. We need to learn to live in the spirit and the prophetic word. The story of Jehoshaphat teaches us to trust in God's word, even when it seems contrary to reason. We need to prostrate ourselves, adore, and believe that God has spoken to us.
The speaker shares his personal experience of receiving a prophetic word from God and following it with faith. He believes that God is calling the church to believe in His prophets in order to prosper. He also shares his belief that God is raising up apostles and prophets in this time, and urges the church to examine themselves and be prepared to follow God's orders.
The speaker urges listeners to examine themselves and their willingness to follow God's will. He emphasizes the importance of walking in humility and obedience, especially in regards to authority. He encourages listeners to believe in the prophetic word and to move in unity as an army. The speaker warns that time is short and that the church must prepare for battle against the enemy. He concludes by asking God to give clear directions and guidance for the church in this time of history.

The word that I want to share is very much in tune with what our sisters Gloria was exhorting this morning, and it is simply a sermon that I am going to call a prophetic sermon and it is titled "Tighten the nuts", what do you think? Let's put it like this, Tighten the nuts on us. It is in Second Chronicles Chapter 20, and I say that it is a prophetic sermon, a prophetic word because you know how sometimes the only thing I have, almost like a verse, a couple of sentences in my mind and I even wrote some notes and I don't know where are they. I believe that the Lord took them from me so that I could simply trust him, what he wants me to say. It's very good like that.
Second Chronicles, Chapter 20, and you know the story of Jehoshaphat. I have preached on it a few months ago, several months ago and go to verse 13, Second Chronicles, Chapter 20, verse 13 and let me give you the background to that moment here in verse 13. Jehoshaphat king of Judah receives an urgent report , there is a crisis in Judah, the nation he leads. Remember Israel had been divided in two, there had been a civil war, there was the kingdom of Judah and the kingdom called Israel, although originally both were Israel, but now there were two kingdoms: Judah and Israel. The northern kingdom was called Israel and the southern kingdom was called Judah and Jehoshaphat was king in Judah, the southern part of the divided kingdom.
