Elisha Moments
"Then Elisha prayed and said, ‘O Lord, I pray, open his eyes that he may see.’ And the Lord opened the servant’s eyes and he saw; and behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha" (2 Kings 6:17). When was the last time you had an Elisha moment, when the veil in the spiritual realm was pulled back and you saw things in your life more clearly than you’ve ever seen them before? When was the last time you saw the reality of the spiritual battle that was raging all around you, and you saw the incomparable strength of the Lord and His angelic armies? I’ve been praying that you and I would have one of these moments as we go into 2010; I’ve been praying, as the Apostle Paul prayed in Ephesians 1:17 that "the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you will know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the surpassing greatness of His power toward us who believe." As we move into 2010 let’s ask and seek for these encounters, so that we can say with Elisha, "Do not fear, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them" (2 Kings 6:16).
