#33 FEAR NOT… Elisha and the Syrian Army

The Syrian authority and the Israelite authority had planned a meeting point to battle in a feast of war but behind the Israelites, the Syrian king with his army planned to destroy the Israelites through an ambush, this wasn’t known to the Israelite's king and army, but was exposed to them by prophet Elisha. It was on this premise that the Syrian king ordered the capture of the prophet Elisha based on the intel that prophet Elisha disclosed their secret to the Israelites and that he could tell the discussions even in the privacy of the king’s room- v12.

It doesn’t matter the mammoth or giant threats posed on us by our enemies or unbeatable situations and circumstances, but the defeat to all battles lies in our innocence and submission to God’s authority over us because He never loses any battle for us.

Elisha was confident in the power of the almighty, even when his servant was rapt with fear and anxiety. Elisha prayed to God to open the spiritual eyes of his servant to behold His heavy presence, and suddenly he realized that indeed there was a more great and powerful God’s army around them far greater than the physically seen Asyrian army.

The physical and situational presence of our raging battles in life is not what gives us victory, but the spiritual unseen chariots of the LORD’s army. All we must do is examine our path with God to be justified and need His help for our victory (Galatians 5:20-26; 6:8; 1 John 1:9). Be conscious of His presence, be conscious to acknowledge His mighty works, have a sense of the authority of spiritual over the physical. Praying always to live because of eternity through the power and dependency of the Holy Spirit, asking God to open our spiritual eyes and mind to the miraculous works of His Hands, to have confidence and trust in His WORDs, He says “Surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age” (Matthew 28:20). “The Lord protects and preserves them—they are counted among the blessed in the land—he does not give them over to the desire of their foes” (Psalm 41:2). This should be our mind daily as we live. Fearn Not, but trust in the LORD.

From: His-Legate - 2Cor. 5:20
