PASSIONATE PURSUIT...HOW SHALL WE DO?

II Kings 6:14-17
 
Therefore sent he thither horses, and chariots, and a great host: and they came by the nigh, and compassed the city about. And when the servant of the man of God was risen early, and gone forth, behold, an host compassed the city both with horses and chariots. And his servant said unto him, Alas, my master! how shall we do? And he answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them. And Elisha prayed, and said, Lord, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the Lord opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.
 
The king took it upon himself to war against Israel. This war was not provoked. However, the Lord sent His prophet to the king of Israel to give intelligence concerning the location of the enemy and each time because of the counsel of the Lord the king was delivered. Nevertheless, once they realized there was a prophet they surrounded the city with horses and chariots. The servant of the prophet became fearful. Elisha responded, Do not fear. He then prayed that the Lord open the eyes of His servant to see the angels that had been given to fight the fight on his behalf in the spiritual realm. Sometimes, the only option the adversary has is to intimidate and bring fear in hopes that we will stop seeing with a spiritual eye and stop doing the work of the Lord in unity because of fear. Warfare can often create delays, but sometimes those stumbling blocks can be prevented when we see with a spiritual perspective what the Lord is working on our behalf when we do His will and purpose, and do not allow any adversary to hinder our obedience to serve the Lord. Enemies come and go. It's not your fault oftentimes. It's simply because you have set your heart to do the Lord's will. Remember, these things we encounter are not natural but spiritual. They hated our Lord Jesus Christ. How much more will they hate His spirit within you? Afterwards, the Lord struck the adversary with blindness and they were led to the land of their own enemies. These days are becoming like unto the days of Noah and Sodom and Gomorrah. They want to consume the spirit of God and all that is holy within you. You must know who you are and stay the course. Do not compromise your beliefs or take down for the adversary. #PRAYINTHESPIRIT #SEEKHISFACE #LOVEWITHALLTHYHEART
