Don’t be afraid

2 Kings 6

The king of Syria discovered that God was revealing his secret military plans to Elisha. This he could not tolerate so he sent his SWAT team to abduct Elisha. When Elisha’s servant got up early the next morning, he became frightened when he saw this fearsome enemy troop surrounding the city where they lived. Running to the prophet, he hopelessly exclaimed, “Master, what shall we do?”

Comforting him, Elisha revealed, “There are MORE WITH US than against us.” He asked God to open the eyes of his servant to see what he saw … an awesome band of fiery angels that would protect them.

Back in the 80s there was a series of Christian novels written by Frank Peretti. They told stories that gave insight into the hidden spiritual struggles of Christians. This Present Darkness, Piercing the Darkness etc. helped Christians become aware of the spiritual warfare of everyday life.

God ALWAYS wins the battle. We have nothing to fear.
