ELISHA
Elijah’s cloak fell on Elisha, an inheritance of great power and responsibility. Naturally, a favorite highlight in the events of Elisha’s life is when Elisha’s servant is permitted to see the spiritual realm. I don’t want to ruin it for you who have not seen End of the Spear YET!! So I can only say, the parallel is striking! The fact that eyes can be opened by supernatural means is such a sweet morsel of…of life. To be stuck in a natural existence, Darwinian smallness, is to be in darkness…trying to see through a peephole__who God is. A god who works entirely through nature within natural boundaries is pathetic to the degree of pointlessness. Yes, I know God works through nature, and so much more.

See God’s army. Iraq’s soldiers fighting for freedom and the allies are not alone. Christians holed up in a prison of torment under a totalitarian regime are not alone. Politicians and judges/lawyers who are defending the God given rights of humanity are never alone. Every prayer sends another chariot of fire into battle. Pray without ceasing.
