“He said, Do not be afraid, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them. 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.” – 2 Kings 6:16-17 (ESV)
If we only knew the power that is really behind us, there is no limit to the things we would attempt to do for God!
So often, we are like the young man with Elisha that can only see with our natural eyes and refuse to exercise our spiritual eyesight to see beyond the physical limitations that cause us to quiver and keep us from conquering.
This man couldn’t understand how a prophet and his band of supporters could withstand the thrashing that the King of Syria was about to unleash on them. If they were an army with weapons…maybe – but this was just a preacher with some loyal followers! All they had were some scrolls and maybe a donkey or two. But when the Lord opened his eyes, he could see that God had dispatched a massive and powerful force to protect Elisha and his mission!
When God is behind a work, there is no force, on earth or otherwise, that will keep it from accomplishing what God has purposed!
That’s good news for the Church today!
“Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.” – Eph 3:20-21 (ESV)
That’s good news for you too! What is it God is asking you to do for him? Look around you. You have an ARMY to go into battle with you.
