Grace For You Today!
Encounter Jesus The King Of Glory and Be Enlightened To Stand Still !
“And when the servant of the man of God arose early and went out, there was an army, surrounding the city with horses and chariots. And his servant said to him, “Alas, my master! What shall we do?” So he answered, “Do not fear, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.” And Elisha prayed, and said, “Lord, I pray, open his eyes that he may see.” Then the Lord opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw. And behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.” II Kings 6:15-17 NKJV
This is a classical testimony of how the servant of Prophet Elisha was delivered from a fearful and troubled heart by the prayer of enlightenment!
At a point of time in history, Syrians were dominating Israel. They wanted to take the Israelites as captives. Every time the King of Syria planned out his strategy, the LORD of hosts would reveal it to Elisha, the Prophet who warned the King of Israel to escape the snare of the evil. This kept happening and the King of Syria was so frustrated that he thought that one of his close soldiers is an informant to Israel.However, he was told that the truth is that the LORD of hosts was revealing it all to His Prophet Elisha.
Therefore, the frustrated King of Syria sent a great army to arrest Prophet Elisha to take him as a captive.
What foolishness! Will not the LORD of hosts who is always faithful to reveal Elisha concerning the Nation’s security, reveal much more concerning the Prophet and his servant’s security?
In short, the servant of Elisha saw the armies of Syria and was fear-struck but Elisha the Prophet saw the armies of the Living God – The LORD of hosts and spoke saying, “Do not fear, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.” Yet these powerful and truthful words didn’t sink into the heart of the servant for him to believe. So, Prophet Elisha prayed that his servant’s eyes be opened to see the truth. Lo and behold! God opened the spiritual eyes of the servant to see the LORD of hosts and His unconquerable armies and the servant got delivered and believed. Hallelujah!
Before his spiritual eyes were opened , the servant panicked and cried saying, “ ALAS!” However after his eyes were opened, the same servant rejoiced and cried saying,” ALLELUIA!”.
Yes my beloved, your sorrows will be turned into joy when your eyes of understanding are enlightened.
“The God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of Glory give me the Spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of the LORD of hosts that the eyes of my understanding be enlightened to see that He fights my battles and He is with me: Jesus is my refuge and the anchor of my soul.” Amen 🙏
Praise Jesus our RIGHTEOUSNESS !!
