Seeing the Invisible

Thursday 15 June
READ: 2 Kings 6:8-19
MORE LESSON: 2 Cor. 4: 18

The king of Syria led his army against Israel. He drew brilliant strategies in his board room on how to launch a surprise attack on Israel. But each time he executed his strategies, he realised that the king of Israel was already informed and prepared in advance for whatever tactics he had. He began to suspect that there were traitors that were spying for Israel even among the most trusted generals in the boardroom. He confronted them and they advised him that there was a certain man in Israel whose eyes and ears were so open that he could hear and see what you do in your bedroom without him being there. Elisha the prophet was a man that was so close to God that he could see beyond the natural, so he always had privileged information that helped him succeed in every battle of life.
The king of Syria sent his troop to arrest Elisha. Thousands of soldiers surrounded Elisha's house and his servant saw them and began to panic. However Elisha looked out the window, saw the thousands of soldiers that surrounded his house, smiled and went in to relax. His servant must have cried, “Master, can you see the thousands of soldiers against us?' Elisha simply smiled and prayed, not for the soldiers to die, but for the eyes of the servant to be open, ...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: 2 Kings 6:17.
When God opened the servant's eyes to see the invisible, he became equally bold as his master. He saw that those who were with them were more than those that were against them. You will only stop panicking in life when your eyes are open to see the invisible. When you see God's provision for you, you will stop complaining about situations. When you see the hosts of angels guarding your family, you will cease to faint because of the crisis in the land. When eyes are closed to the spiritual, a man becomes defeated but when your eyes get open to the invisible, strength and courage come. When you see the invisible, supernatural faith comes as it is written in Heb. 11: 27, By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.
When a man has seen God, he does not fear the devil. This is why you need to pray for your eyes to be open to see the real things in the spirit and not the apparent things in the physical. When you see the secret of your trouble, your victory is certain. Begin to see the invisible and do the impossible, in Jesus’ mighty name.
