Have you ever felt outnumbered or overwhelmed by the circumstances of life? Its all part of our human experience here in this earth. We can learn a lot about how to overcome from the true warriors of the bible. Lets look at Elisha.
In 2 Kings chapter 6:15, there was a huge army that was surrounding the city where Elisha was residing and his servant came to him and asked him,Alas my master! how shall we do? " His servant was panicking about what he saw.
So many times in life we are faced with similar circumstances and if we act upon what we see with our naked eyes we would live in fear. Its interesting how Elisha responded to the fearful comment of his servant.
2 Kings 5:16-17 "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."
Elisha was not moved by the bad report he reacted by speaking a word of faith. He then prayed that God would open the eyes of his servant that He could see by faith what Elisha already saw. Fear will cripple your eyesight of faith if you allow it to. You are not to be moved by what you see but instead you are to react according to what you see by faith. Your faith and belief in the vision and revelation of what God gave you to do will allow you to overcome every circumstance that is coming up against you. Fear and faith should not be allowed to co-exist in your heart.
You may feel outnumbered and overwhelmed by what is happening to you but if you will just look through the eyes of faith you will see that if God be for you who can be against you!
