Welcome to Follow Him favorites.

This is where John and I share a single story to go with each week's Come Follow Me lesson.

John, we are in Second Chronicles today.

I have a story for you.

First of all, John, do you remember in Second Chronicles 18?

Someone is asking about the prophet.

And the King of Israel says, we do have a prophet that we can inquire of the Lord, but I hate him.

Exact quote from King James, but I hate him.

I don't like that guy.

Different king, same time period.

This guy's name is Jehosephat. The prophet says to Jehosephat,

you can go out to battle and you'll win. Jehosephat is terrified, John. This is second

chronicles 20 verse 12. He's praying, we have no might against this great company that cometh against us. Neither know we what to do,

but our eyes are upon thee. Then this is when the prophet says, go out to fight, you'll be fine,

the battle is not yours, but gods. Jehosephat says to his people, believe in the Lord your God, so shall

ye be established. Believe his prophets. So shall ye prosper. Jehosephat's army goes out to fight,

John. He actually puts the choir in front. He puts singers in front. Well, before I tell you what happens,
