This is War: Worship is War

In 2 Chronicles 20, Jehoshaphat teaches us how to fight overwhelming battles — through fasting, prayer, and worship. Instead of panic, the people seek God. Instead of swords, they send singers. When praise begins, God moves and wins the battle for them. Spiritual warfare requires spiritual weapons.

Discussion Questions
1. When pressure hits your life, what is your first instinct — control, worry, isolation, or seeking God? Why?
2. Jehoshaphat called a fast before forming a battle plan. What would it look like for you to practice fasting in a real, practical way this week?
3. In his prayer, Jehoshaphat focused on who God is before asking for help. How does starting with God’s character change the way we pray?
4. “We do not know what to do, but our eyes are on You.” Where in your life right now do you honestly not know what to do?
5. The people sent worshipers ahead of the army. What does it look like to “send worship first” in your current battle?
6. How have you seen God fight a battle for you in the past? What did He teach you through it?
7. As a group, what is one area where we need to shift from panic to praise?
