When God is present, but we don't see him

(Audio: Spanish)

SUMMARY: The story of Elisha in 2 Kings 6:8-23 shows us that God can give us revelation to warn us of the enemy's plots against us. Just as Israel was in constant warfare against enemy powers that were symbols of demonic persecution, we too are continually fighting against principalities and powers that want to harm us. We need to stay spiritually healthy and use the tools God has given us, such as the armor of God and the power of our words, to counteract the works of the devil. God may warn us through dreams or revelations, and we need to discern and act on them. When we are filled with the power of God, we can receive and share wisdom from Him with others.

The story of Elisha's servant shows that we should not panic and lose faith when facing difficult situations. We must not only look at the physical circumstances but also see the spiritual reality and ask God to open our eyes to see it. God is always with us, and His power is greater than any problem we face. We need to renew our minds and change our perspective to see God's solution and victory in our lives. Our perception governs the intensity and duration of our problem, so changing our mind can change our reality.


This passage discusses how changing your perception and understanding can change your reality. The author uses examples from the Bible to show how a change in perspective can lead to miracles and victories in life. The author encourages readers to renew their minds and have faith in the power of God, as this can help overcome obstacles and challenges. The passage ends with a prayer for God's strength and power to fill the lives of the readers.


Oh Lord, please renew us and thank you for your blessings. We praise and bless your name. Please fill us with reserves for the challenges ahead. Amen.


Second Kings in chapter 6, beginning with verse 8, tells us the story of the prophet Elisha, a man evidently greatly used by God. God used Elisha in miracles of resurrection, miracles of knowledge, miracles like taking an ax that had fallen in the water and making it float, water that was bitter and poisoned, purifying it through a symbolic act of throwing salt, miracles of uttering a prophetic word that worked on reality, as when he said, “This time tomorrow, − in the midst of an incredible famine, − this time tomorrow there will be food, at a ridiculously low price,” and there was no way it would be. would give But the word he will utter in faith changed the circumstances and forced that prophecy to be given in some way and it was so in an easy way for God, as things always are.

God used Elisha in many ways. And in this passage we are told that God also used it to warn Israel when there were plots against them and when armed bands were going to leave from Syria and God gave Elisha revelation and that way the king of Israel could take care of himself. and to ambush those armed bands that came as terrorist groups to do specific damage somewhere in the people of Israel. Because? Because there was the prophet of God who received revelation from God and he knew how to move and how to neutralize those works of the enemy.
