Jehoshaphat made up his mind to inquire of the Lord. You need to make up your mind to tune in to God. Enough of being wishy-washy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Enough of being tossed here and there. You need to make up your mind to inquire of the Lord because the tide is going to turn in your favour in the Name of Jesus. What do you do when you are alarmed? Who do you call? Jehoshaphat is teaching us an amazing lesson wancesthich is <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tune In To God<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. When you want the tide to turn in your favour, the starting point is to set your heart and tune in to God. And this is what makes seasons of fasting and praying so powerful. I want to encourage you to tune in to God. The truth is some things cannot be outsourced. You have to show up before the throne of God by yourself. Some battles will come to your doorstep, and you must rise to the occasion. Tune in to God and watch the tide turn in your favour.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The second thing King Jehoshaphat did after setting his heart and tuning into God was <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pray<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. After you tune in to God, you need to pray. It is possible to come into God&#8217;s presence and still leave without engaging and without really praying.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bible.com\/bible\/68\/2ch.20.5-6\"> 2 Chronicles 20:<\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5-6<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u201c\u2026and the people of Jerusalem gathered in the new courtyard of the Temple.

Jehoshaphat prayed.<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may be confused or even afraid, but you need to pray. Maybe you do not even know what to expect or you are not sure if God is going to answer. Then you need to learn how to pray like Jehoshaphat prayed. If you are not sure your prayer is going to be effective, learn from what is written in the Bible. And you will clearly see the answers to your prayers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You need to learn to pray the way Jehoshaphat prayed. Jehoshaphat asked three pivotal questions in his prayer. Jehoshaphat said to God, \u201c<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Are You not<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">?\u201d, \u201c<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Did You not<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">?\u201d, and \u201c<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Will You not<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">?\u201d The first prayer is \u201c<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Are You not<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">?\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bible.com\/bible\/116\/2CH.20.6\">2 Chronicles 20:<\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u201c<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lord, the God of our ancestors, <\/span><\/i><b><i>are you not<\/i><\/b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> the God who is in heaven?

I have been in church for a while and I have heard powerful people and sermons say, \u2018Remind God of who He is.\u2019 Remind God of who He is, really? God has not forgotten who He is.
