Greetings to you, its Friday again.
Friday fry up is served.
There more on your side than on there’s
2 Kings 6: 16-18 (New International Version)
"Don't be afraid," the prophet answered. "Those who are with us are more than those who are with them." 17 And Elisha prayed, "O LORD, open his eyes so he may see." Then the LORD opened the servant's eyes, and he looked and saw the hills full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.
This is a great account of someone suddenly seeing things as they really are namely the prophet Elisha’s servant, if you get the chance today read this account it is awesome 2 Kings 6: 8 – 18.
Basically what is happening with this account is that God is using Elisha to let one king know the movements of His enemy and the bad king finds out and sends an army to get Elisha to obviously solve this problem and stop it happening.
So this certain morning the servant wakes up first has a stretch looks out of the window as he normally did to the shocking picture that they are surrounded by an army sent to get them, he then runs and wakes up Elisha probably screaming something like “help God, we are all gonna die!”
Elisha then calmly says to him don’t be afraid, prays for Him that he would see the whole picture. As he does God opens the servants eyes and he sees the fiery armies of the Lord surrounding the attacking army, they both relax and have a cuppa, it’s all good.
· Make sure that when you are looking at challenging situations today that you allow God to open your Spiritual eyes so that you can see His larger provision or answer surrounding you.
· Armies of problems may come with an agenda towards you but God will always release a far bigger army (or plan) to protect you, focus on the bigger God sent thing not the smaller man sent one, that’s faith.
· Elisha prayed for His servants spiritual blindness sometimes we may need to pray for our own, If problems suddenly look to big that’s a real good time to pray the prayer Elisha prayed over your own visual potential.
· God has given you natural eyesight but also Spiritual eyesight make sure that both of them are 20/20 and that you are seeing things clearly, Remember we walk by faith (a God empowered 6th sense) and not by sight (natural sight).
· Catch this in your heart this morning Those who are with us are more than those who are with them." No matter how things are looking naturally this morning, there is more with you, you have more going for you because God is for you!
I pray that your eyes would be open and that you would see the armies of the Lord (Gods provision or remedy)today, and that your heart would not be afraid but at perfect peace because you have seen what they have not yet seen!
Walk with Confidence and have a fantastic weekend of victory.
