2 Chr 17:3 The Lord was with Jehoshaphat because he walked in the first ways of his father [David]. He did not seek the Baals
Jehoshaphat even expelled the sodomites from the country..
Often we think just because we are God's child and did might works in God, that we are able to get away with all the WARNINGS and WORD sent as if they are not FOR US...Judgment begins with us...The Word is for US...We can not think that we can pray our way out of disobedience....We have to stop being disobedient.... Many are saying while I made a mistake and I have to do this...NO God will destroy your WORK repent means to turn from your wicked ways....
2 Chr 19:2 Jehu son of Hanani, the seer, went out to meet him and said to Jehoshaphat, Should you help the ungodly and love those who hate the Lord? Because of this, wrath has gone out against you from the Lord.
We can not in any form think that GOD will not be angry with us for not obeying HIS COMMANDS...
Many are saying that they are in warfare when they are in the ANGER of the LORD...Even though this king once had God with him, he disobeyed and joined up with ungodliness and now have the wrath of God...IS GOD DESTROYING YOUR WORKS...
No matter how much you fast or pray...God is coming to bust up all that you work for if it was not done in His WAY...
2 Chr 20:35 After this, Jehoshaphat king of Judah joined with Ahaziah king of Israel, who did very wickedly.
Now remember NABAL was wicked in all of HIS WAYS...MY lord...Go ahead and try to talk your way out...Is God destroying your works????
