“HE SAW!”

 2 Kings 6:15-19                                        (ESV)

“[15] When the servant of the man of GOD rose early in the morning and went out, behold, an army with horses and chariots was all around the city. And the servant said, “Alas, my master! WHAT SHALL WE DO?” [16] He said, “DO NOT BE AFRAID, FOR THOSE WHO ARE WITH US ARE MORE THAN THOSE WHO ARE WITH THEM.” [17] Then Elisha prayed and said, “O LORD, PLEASE OPEN HIS EYES that he may see.” So 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. [18] And when the Syrians came down against him, Elisha prayed to the LORD and said, “Please strike this people with blindness.” So he struck them with blindness in accordance with the prayer of Elisha. [19] And Elisha said to them, “This is not the way, and this is not the city. Follow me, and I will bring you to the man whom you seek.” And he led them to Samaria.

One of the most effective tools of “the enemy” is to clog our minds with so many lies and propaganda that we are seemingly inundated with “problems” with no solution, at least in OUR SIGHT.  Our VISION, what we SEE, is often challenged by FEAR, and Scripture is clear where FEAR originates from!!!

Probably one my most utilized verses of Scripture is Psalm 46:10 which states “BE STILL, and KNOW THAT I AM GOD.  I WILL BE be exalted among the nations, I WILL BE exalted in the earth!”.  When FEAR presents itself to me, my initial reaction might be to draw up into my cocoon and hide from my enemy.  But amidst all of the strife and turmoil instigated by our enemy, PEACE can be found if we understand WHO IS IN CONTROL!  

 

Elisha PRAYED to THE CREATOR and implored GOD saying “O LORD, PLEASE OPEN HIS EYES”!  When “HE SAW” the mountain was FULL OF HORSES AND CHARIOTS OF FIRE, I would imagine that his perspective was totally different?  When our EYES ARE OPENED to SEE the SPIRIT world around us, we too will have a differing opinion on our future.  

Unless we purposely and intentionally KEEP OUR EYES ON JESUS (Hebrews 12:2) our minds are susceptible to be infiltrated by the devil and that path is a dangerous place to be!  When we WALK BY FAITH, doing whatever HE leads us to do, we can experience PEACE because WE SEE like “HE SAW” in the Scripture above.
