I hear the Lord saying that He is calling forth the worshippers. He is calling them into His inner courts to hear their praise. Adoni is calling us to worship Him in the waiting. That is the task at hand. That is the assignment. Sing, lift your hands, and wave your flags. Praise Him now for the victory that you cannot yet see. If there is a battle at hand, do not be afraid or dismayed, Almighty God fights for you. The battle belongs to the Lord, who has not changed his mind. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. He is a God that cannot lie. The Lord said, "Send out the worshippers." Your worship is the weapon that will come against any hindrance and delay. In the waiting, you are to worship. Judah sent out the worshippers, and hearing their praise; the Lord set ambushes against the enemy that made them turn on themselves and be destroyed. The army of Judah never even had to fight. Send forth your worship and praise before the Lord and watch every hindrance and delay be dismantled. You will never have to lift a finger or your sword. Your worship will remove the obstacles that make your situation seem impossible. Do you know that after the Lord destroyed Judah's enemies, He rewarded them with the spoils of the battle He fought? It took them three days to gather and carry away all of the valuables and precious jewels. To this day, it is called the Valley of Berachah, which means blessings. The Lord is worthy of all of our praise. He allows the waiting because He longs to hear our worship.

And he said, “Listen, all you of Judah and you inhabitants of Jerusalem, and you, King Jehoshaphat! Thus says the Lord to you: ‘Do not be afraid nor dismayed because of this great multitude, for the battle is not yours, but God’s. You will not need to fight in this battle. Position yourselves, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, who is with you, O Judah and Jerusalem!’ Do not fear or be dismayed; tomorrow go out against them, for the Lord is with you.” And Jehoshaphat bowed his head with his face to the ground, and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem bowed before the Lord, worshiping the Lord. Then the Levites of the children of the Kohathites and of the children of the Korahites stood up to praise the Lord God of Israel with voices loud and high. So they rose early in the morning and went out into the Wilderness of Tekoa; and as they went out, Jehoshaphat stood and said, “Hear me, O Judah and you inhabitants of Jerusalem: Believe in the Lord your God, and you shall be established; believe His prophets, and you shall prosper.” And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed those who should sing to the Lord, and who should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army and were saying: “Praise the Lord, For His mercy endures forever.” Now when they began to sing and to praise, the Lord set ambushes against the people of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir, who had come against Judah; and they were defeated.
II Chronicles 20:15, 17-22
I will praise You with my whole heart; Before the gods I will sing praises to You. I will worship toward Your holy temple, And praise Your name For Your lovingkindness and Your truth; For You have magnified Your word above all Your name.
Psalms 138:1-2
