Time after time he told the king of Israel where the Syrians were going to attack them. The king of Syria thought that one of his top men was leaking top secret information to the king of Israel because every sneak attack he planned was exposed before it took place.

The king of Syria said, “Will you not show me which of us is for the king of Israel?” One of his servants told him, “None, my lord O king: but Elisha, the prophet that is in Israel, tells the king of Israel the words that you speak in your bedchamber.” Now that’s pretty good intelligence!

The king sent men to spy where Elisha was so he could capture him. They found him in Dothan, so the Syrian king, “…sent he thither horses, and chariots, and a great host: and they came by night and compassed the city about.” All of that to get this one man.

The next morning Elisha’s servant got up early and went forth, meaning that he was going to the bathroom, and he looked up and saw that the city was surrounded by chariots and horses and the great host of soldiers. Put yourself in his sandals.

He ran to Elisha and said, “Alas, my master! How shall we do?” That’s the response most people would have, isn’t it?

Elisha answered, “Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them.” Then Elijah prayed, “LORD, I pray thee, open his eyes that, 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.” You can read the entire record in II Kings 6.

Elisha prayed for the Lord to open the young man’s eyes so he could see the greater reality in the situation. A greater host than the Syrian host surrounded Elisha.

Dearly beloved, “You are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.” This is the reality today.

I pray, that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him; that He will open the eyes of your understanding so that they are enlightened, the same as He opened the young man’s eyes who served Elisha.

Don’t be overcome by daunting circumstances; believe God's Word to us and the spiritual reality of who we are in Christ. This reality will never change. You are not alone. God, our Father made us more than conquerors through him that loved us.

You are a super conqueror! Believe it; it is an accomplished reality in Christ Jesus our Lord. God is for you, beloved, not against you. He that is in you, is greater than anything you may face today.

Whether in life or even in the grave; no spiritual power – whether angel, spiritual principality or power; nothing in the dimension of time – whether present or future; nothing in the dimension of space – whether on earth or in the heavenlies; no created thing can separate us God’s love that is in Christ Jesus our Lord . . . in whom we are more than conquerors.

He made you a super conqueror in Christ Jesus our Lord, dearly beloved. Oh, Lord open our eyes so that we can see!

He that is in you is greater than anything visible or invisible, known or unknown. We are more than conquerors through Him that loved us, regardless of the adversary’s attacks against us. Be strong in the Lord, and in the exerted strength of his power for us.

Walk in this reality today, dearly beloved of God. Walk in the wisdom of God and the power of God that is ours in Christ.
Lord, open our eyes that we may see.
