2 Chronicles 13:12 (KJ21)
And behold, God Himself is with us for our captain, and His priests with sounding trumpets to cry alarm against you. O children of Israel, fight ye not against the LORD God of your fathers, for ye shall not prosper.

2 Chronicles 13:12 (NAS)
Now behold, God is with us at our head and His priests with the signal trumpets to sound the alarm against you. O sons of Israel, do not fight against the LORD God of your fathers, for you will not succeed.

2 Chronicles 13:12 (NIVUS)
God is with us; he is our leader. His priests with their trumpets will sound the battle cry against you. Men of Israel, do not fight against the LORD, the God of your fathers, for you will not succeed.

2 Chronicles 13:12 (NLT)
So you see, God is with us. He is our leader. His priests blow their trumpets and lead us into battle against you. O people of Israel, do not fight against the LORD, the God of your ancestors, for you will not succeed!

Adonai is the captain and chief over His people. He is your beginning and He is your end. He rules over all the universe and with the mere shake of His head, kingdoms rise and kingdoms fall. He sets men as priests to rule as princes and officers over His nation and His church; these mediate and minister in His behalf. They have the responsibility and authority to help guide you in the right direction.

However if you, even though you are God's child, try to fight and do battle against the Most High, the Lord's ministers will raise an alarm against you. They will shout so loud that the noise could split your ears. You will hear God's battle cry and His trumpets will blow. You cannot prevail over the God of your fathers and you yourself shall be overcome. You will not prosper when you fight against the One who gives you breath and life. In fact, Adonai's power and might will be used against you.

Therefore, be quick to change your attitude and to repent. Listen to the ministers of the Lord and do what they say. When you do this, you will find that the Lord your God will be good to you. He will make the work of your hands profitable and your will prosper. He will push you forward and you will be breaking out at the seams with all of the abundance that He gives you.
