THE POWER OF REVELATION (WHAT DO YOU SEE)
So one night the king of Aram sent a great army with many chariots and horses to surround the city. [15] When the servant of the man of God got up early the next morning and went outside, there were troops, horses, and chariots everywhere. “Oh, sir, what will we do now?” the young man cried to Elisha. [16] “Don’t be afraid!” Elisha told him. “For there are more on our side than on theirs!” [17] Then Elisha prayed, “O Lord, open his eyes and let him see!” The Lord opened the young man’s eyes, and when he looked up, he saw that the hillside around Elisha was filled with horses and chariots of fire. This is a spectacular story. It gives us insight into the supernatural. Revealing how God intervenes in the natural world if need be. 2 Kings 6:14-17 NLT[14]
Elisha and his servant were faced with a seemingly insurmountable problem. King Aram had ordered his Army to arrest and deal with them. Certainly, it caused a great deal of distress to Elisha’s servant. The presence of the Army with their Horses and Chariots is enough to scare anyone. Especially those who do not know God or have a personal encounter with him. Elisha’s servant reaction is a typical example of how those who do not know God respond when faced with difficulties. Their inability to see beyond the challenge they are grappling with, scares and causes them to assume the worst. Imagine a graduate out of school, with no prospects for employment, age catching on him or her, not knowing how they can survive talk of establishing their own family and life. Fear will naturally set in, triggering panic which will lead to desperation, creating more issues than they already have. Sometimes even some children of God react the same, especially those who are immature, and lacking experience of how God delivers and takes care of His own. However, there are great possibilities available to God’s children. Look at Elisha, God his Father, provided a solution for him that is beyond the natural.
You cannot have God Almighty, as your Father and be cornered, stranded, and defeated. God definitely rules in all the affairs of men. Can you imagine if you could see beyond the natural realm, and have the ability to know things no ordinary human knows? Exactly!!!! That will be mind-blowing. Just like having a secret superpower. Thankfully, every Child of God has that kind of potential. For God created Human beings in His image. Therefore, Man is a spirit being that lives in a body.Hence, man can interface with both the physical and the spiritual realms. For instance, the wisdom of God, which is spiritual, manifests in the life of a believer to help him solve natural problems. The Lord also gives us the power (insight) to make wealth. These are all available for anyone willing to come to the Lord. There are wonderful privileges to be enjoyed. You have to choose whether to continue to be at the mercy of all the issues of this life and suffer needlessly, or align with the purpose of Christ.
Do you want to experience what God has in stock for you? Are you tired of succumbing to the pressures of this life? How about breaking loose from your fears and limitations? You can ask the Lord for help, regardless of what you may be going through right now For, though, Elisha’s servant did not initially see the Heavenly Host, but through the prayer of his Master, his eyes opened, and he got the revelation that those that were for them are more than those against them. Likewise, you can pray and ask God to do the same for you. So whether you are a Child of God who is not experiencing the supernatural or perhaps you are not even one.
I encourage you to pray this prayer with me: Thank you, Lord, for your mercy and the outstanding provisions you have made for me in Christ Jesus. Lord Jesus Christ, I desire to become your Child. May I experience a rebirth, the spiritual birth to activate my relationship with you. Cause me to enter the spiritual realms and be far above natural limitations. Open my eyes to behold great and mighty possibilities. Fill my heart with the assurance that You are more than what is against me. May I continue to dwell in your presence, always walking by Faith.Thank you, Lord Jesus Christ, for answering my prayers. Amen!!!
Illuminating! Thanks for sharing.
