Elisha prayed to God with out Panic

Shabbat Shalom from Kent, London.

Elisha prayed to God with out Panic.

Elisha's prayer life demonstrates profound faith and the belief in God's ability to intervene in our affairs and reliance on God's power. He was a landowner's son and a successful farmer, however was chosen by God to be the successor of the prophet Elijah.

Elisha is known for performing many miracles, wonder-worker, Political influencer, Advisor and delivering God's messages to the people of Israel. There are many testimonies to pick up about his life, however am choosing this conversation between Elisha and his servant from 2 Kg 6.

The King of Syria very furious for not having any clue at all, how did the King of Israel know his war strategy, plan of attack, the techniques that he spoke to his close servants? He was asking his troops, will you not tell me which of us is helping or show me which of us is working for the King of Israel? After realising that it was a prophet who is telling the secrets spoken privately, he was attempting to seize him with the powerful military force, great army, a large fighting forces, horses and chariots. They went by night and surrounded the city Dothan where he was living at that time.

I realised the amount of trouble Elisha caused to the Syrian king- To get hold of one prophet, he despatched his best troops. When Elisha's servant asked him what are we to do?. Elisha answered as he recognised that the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire at his disposal.

1. DO NOT BE AFRAID.
2. For those who are with us (God's despatched troop) are more than those who are with them.

Nothing is a surprise to the Lord. We do not need to inform anything to HIM but invite into our situation. Elisha prayed to the LORD and said, “Please strike this army with blindness.” And God struck them with blindness, in accordance with Elisha’s request. The Lord involved and answered the Prayer as Elisha had asked. After he led them to get trapped in Samaria, again prayed to open their blindness, God did exactly as he mentioned. Instead of bloodshed, he was instrument to create a peace treaty between kings, later in 7th chapter, we can find that again Syrian camped against Isreal but this time the Lord driven them with a sound of horses, Chariots and Armies. Hallelujah!!!

This event highlights Elisha's role as a prophet who interceded on behalf of Israel and demonstrated God's power and protection over His people. Prayer is the means for God's intervention in all our situations. Through prayer, we can experience God's intervention, wisdom, and peace in our lives. Amen.

Peace be upon The State of Israel and Us.🙏
Shalom. 🙏🙏
Have a Good weekend.
In His Grip...🙏🙏🙏

God rewriting life stories

God rewriting life stories Reference Ps 18:20-24 Psalm 18:20–24 (The Message) captures David’s reflection on how God restored and renewed his life when he fully surrendered to Him. In Eugene Peterson’s paraphrase, the language feels vivid and personal—more like a heartfelt testimony than a formal psalm—showing how God restores, remakes, and redefines those who turn to Him. Amen. "God rewrote the text of my life when I opened the book of my heart to His eyes" is perhaps the most powerful image here. It shows that when David welcomed God into his innermost being, God transformed his story—redeeming it, reshaping it, and giving it new meaning and purpose. Hallelujah!  David says God “made my life complete” when he laid everything before Him, and that God “rewrote the text” of his life. This language highlights honest surrender, repentance, and the experience of being restored by God. 2 Corinthians 5:17 makes the same basic claim in a more compact form: “if anyone is in Chris...

I will Bless the Lord

I will bless the Lord, at all times...  Reference: Ps 34:1 - I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth. One of the most important attitudes we can embrace in life is making it a habit to bless Him continually. I use the word “lifestyle” on purpose—it’s not just for when we feel like it, but also for when we don’t, because it’s essential. It’s not only about what we do, but who we are.  David’s steady commitment was clear in his words. He received countless blessings from the Lord even before he became well-known. Before everyone knew his name, the Lord knew him for his constant praise and gratitude. Out in the fields, tending sheep in the green pastures, he would sing, dance, and bless the Lord. That was David's preparation to the bigger assignments.  Verse 4 from this chapter really spoke to me: I sought the Lord, trusting in His word, and He answered me, delivering me from all my fears. So, I bless the Lord—Amen, Hallelujah. He...

Real battle, Different rules

Real battle, different rules Refer 2 Cor 10:3-6- NIV- For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. 4 The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds . 5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. 6 And we will be ready to punish every act of disobedience, once your obedience is complete. Paul's tone changes sharply in 2 Corinthians 10. After pleading gently for generosity toward the poor, he turns to face his critics, and he is no longer soft-spoken. They claimed he was bold on paper but timid in person, a man who threatened discipline from a distance and would never dare follow through face to face. In short, they questioned whether he had the apostolic authority he claimed. Paul's answer was to describe his ministry as spiritual warfare. The world is unprinciple...
