We
heard two thought-provoking messages last night!
Cindy
answered a good question about relationships: While the Bible tells Christians
not to be yoked with unbelievers, it’s also possible to be unequally yoked with
a fellow believer.
Pastor
Dennis broke down a passage in 2 Kings 6: 8-23 about God’s prophet, Elisha, and
his servant being attacked by their enemies. When the army invaded their city,
Elisha’s servant panicked when he “saw” that they were outnumbered. But Elisha
prayed that his servant’s eyes would be OPENED to see beyond the physical. In
reality, “hills full of horses and chariots of fire” surrounded their enemies! So
operating by faith, they captured the enemy and dealt with them in the Spirit, feeding
and clothing them so that “burning coals” would be heaped upon their heads
(Proverbs 25: 21-22).
Key takeaways
were “seeing” beyond our circumstances by looking to the Truth, remembering
God’s promised protection when facing enemies in the spirit and in the flesh.
The challenge: asking God to see what is
real, remain confident in the Lord’s promises, and operate in the Spirit (act
with kindness/mercy) when the Lord places the enemy at our feet.
