Dear child of God, right now you may feel surrounded by bad news, uncertainty and fear. Just like Elisha’s servant, you see danger all around. And that scares you. The king of Syria had surrounded the city of Dothan in an attempt to capture the prophet Elisha. When Elisha’s servant awoke the next morning, and saw the horses and chariots around the city, he cried out to Elisha in fear. But, Elisha did not panic… "Don't be afraid!" Elisha told him. "For there are more on our side than on theirs!" 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. - 2Kings 6:16-17 NLT When God had opened the spiritual eyes of Elisha’s servant, he could see that Syria’s horses and chariots were greatly outnumbered by those of the angels surrounding them. In fact, the hillside was filled with angels! Elisha wa...

Before we can look at walking free, we first need to know why we are not free to start with. In order for us to do this, we need to take a look at the enemy. Satan was an angel who fell because of pride. He wanted to be like God. Because of this sin he was cast out of heaven together with a third of the angels (Is. 14:12-13). He then decided to tempt man with the same sin that caused his own fall. He made Adam and Eve believe that they could be like God. He sparked selfish pride in their hearts (Gen. 3:4-5).
