Unknown Miraculous Intervention. 2
So he answered, “Do not fear, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them. And Elisha prayed, and said, “Lord, I pray, open his eyes that he may see.” Then the Lord opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw. And behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.
2Kings 6:16-17.”
The Lord God has always done many things for us without our knowledge, He gives us strength to keep going during challenges, he intervenes in health crisis, supply our needs, and fought for us without our knowledge, these have always being the way God works for ages past!
In the opening scriptures, because of the visions shown to Elisha which defeated the plans of the enemies to ambush Israeli soldiers, the king of Syria, when he knew that it was Prophet who is leaking his strategies sent soldiers to arrest him. The Assistant Prophet became alarmed because they were surrounded by soldiers, Elisha prayed that Jehovah will open his eyes to see the spiritual horses and angelic soldiers around waiting to defend them.
When his eyes were opened, what he saw encouraged his hearts that they were not left defenceless, and this was recorded for our benefit. Through you do not see angels, nevertheless, they are on assignment to protect God’s children from innumerable pitfalls, both seen and unseen.
During the defining battles of Deborah and Barak against the Medianites, the Bible says the angels of the the Lord fought in courses for Israel, but God’s people never knew what was going on in the realm of the spirit!
Likewise, when Jacob fled from his father in-law, Laban gathered his soldiers and pursued him for seven days, his intention is to harm Jacob, probably to kill him, for there is no way you will fight with someone with with swords and people won’t die, if he didn’t die, he will leave him with serious life threatening wounds, the Bible says; _*“But God had come to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night, and said to him, “Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad. Gen 31:24.”*_ Before the battle came, Jehovah had appeared for him, though it seem Laban seem daunting, but God had soften the ground for Jacob. Hallelujah.
Thank You Lord for always being there for me!
