Good morning, Friends, 

2 Kings 6:16-17 NLT

[16] “Don’t be afraid!” Elisha told him. “For there are more on our side than on theirs!” [17] Then Elisha prayed, “O Lord, open his eyes and let him see!” The Lord opened the young man’s eyes, and when he looked up, he saw that the hillside around Elisha was filled with horses and chariots of fire.

Elisha’s servant was shook, he was panicking because the enemy army had surrounded them. To him, it looked like game over. But Elisha told him, “Don’t trip, don’t be afraid. We got more on our side than they got on theirs.” Then he prayed, “Lord, open his eyes.” And boom 💥 when God opened the young man’s eyes 👀, he saw the hills full of heavenly firepower 🔥 an army you can’t see with the natural eye.

Sometimes what you see in the natural is lying to you. Bills stacked up, stress piling, enemies pressing. It feels like you’re outnumbered, but that’s because you’re only looking with your human eyes. If God opened your spiritual eyes, you’d realize heaven’s got you surrounded with backup. You’re not outnumbered—you’re out-protecting them.

When fear tries to choke you, instead of focusing on the size of the problem, ask God to open your eyes. Pray, “Lord, help me see what You see.” Don’t just react to the pressure, respond with faith.

Yo you might feel small, but you’re rolling with the King of kings. The same God who lit up that hillside with fire has His angels guarding you too. You don’t fight alone.

Knock, knock 👊🏾 !Yea I'm knocking on yo door 🚪 Walk with your head up today. When the enemy pulls up deep, remember, you got heaven’s whole squad riding with you. 

Maranatha (The Lord is coming)  

Soli Deo Gloria (Glory to God Alone)

- Grace & Peace
