Are you working with God or against him?

God and Men Working Together Are you not God in heaven, and do You not rule over all the kingdoms of the earth. II Chronicles 20:6 In the last article we looked briefly at Jehoshaphat’s prayer in the house of the Lord. He had a strong faith in a powerful, sovereign, omnipotent God who was able to deliver His people. He didn’t just believe (mental acknowledgment) with the mind, he also put that faith and trust into action in his everyday life. His knowledge was followed by obedience to the directions and commands of God. Here are a few statements he makes about the God of the ...
