Read 2 Chronicles 20 in context

Scripture Focus

20And they rose early in the morning, and went forth into the wilderness of Tekoa: and as they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and said, Hear me, O Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem; Believe in the LORD your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper.

21And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed singers unto the LORD, and that should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army, and to say, Praise the LORD; for his mercy endureth for ever.

22And when they began to sing and to praise, the LORD set ambushments against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, which were come against Judah; and they were smitten.

23For the children of Ammon and Moab stood up against the inhabitants of mount Seir, utterly to slay and destroy them: and when they had made an end of the inhabitants of Seir, every one helped to destroy another.

24And when Judah came toward the watch tower in the wilderness, they looked unto the multitude, and, behold, they were dead bodies fallen to the earth, and none escaped.

25And when Jehoshaphat and his people came to take away the spoil of them, they found among them in abundance both riches with the dead bodies, and precious jewels, which they stripped off for themselves, more than they could carry away: and they were three days in gathering of the spoil, it was so much.

26And on the fourth day they assembled themselves in the valley of Berachah; for there they blessed the LORD: therefore the name of the same place was called, The valley of Berachah, unto this day.

27Then they returned, every man of Judah and Jerusalem, and Jehoshaphat in the forefront of them, to go again to Jerusalem with joy; for the LORD had made them to rejoice over their enemies.

Neville's Inner Vision

Imagine the inner scene: the wilderness becomes a classroom for your awakening. Belief in the LORD within you is the invitation to believe in the I AM you are. The prophets are your inner guidance; when you align with that assurance, you prosper in your inner economy. The singers who go before the army symbolize filling your mind with songs of gratitude—the beauty of holiness—as you move into the field of challenge. As you stand in that chorus, the Lord sets ambushments against the fears that rise, not by outward battle, but by awakening to your true power, until the old antagonists turn on each other and collapse. You behold the spoil: abundance of realized potential in your thoughts becoming tangible in mood, energy, and circumstance. On the fourth day you bless the Lord, naming the valley Berachah—the inner place of blessing. Returning to Jerusalem with joy, you recognize that the LORD has made you rejoice over your enemies; inner victory becomes your experience of life.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Close your eyes and declare: I am established in the I AM within me. See the inner choir praising, and feel the joy as the fulfilled outcome already stands in your life.
