Faith Capsule: The fear you entertain will terminate you.
2 Kings 6:8-33
Let it be your best interest not to entertain fear in any area of life. The fear you entertain will terminate you. If it is a challenge to stop entertaining fear let your prayer point be based on asking God for the grace to be delivered from fear in every area of life. Allowing fear is disallowing faith. With faith God is pleased. Evidently, without faith God must be displeased. God spoke in Isaiah 41:10 “Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.” The word of God speaks to all. His word is His command; despising His word is disobeying His command and it is the evidence of lack of fear for His word. The book of Proverbs 13:13 warned, “He who despises the word will be destroyed, But he who fears the commandment will be rewarded.”
God is eternally able to perform and perfect that which he promise if we are willing to pay the price of condition which provokes promise manifestation. Elisha and his servant were surrounded at a point of no escape by the Syrian army. King of Syria sent horses and chariots and a great army to surround Elisha and his servant. (2Kings 6:14) When Elisha’s servant saw what was set to terminate their life, he said to Elisha, “Alas, my master! What shall we do?” (2 Kings 6:15) The servant reacted to what he could see in the physical. What is it that is surrounding and denying you from seeing deliverance in the place of destruction? It might be natural to see fear in the place of negativity but it is not of God to see fear and entertain fear.
Elisha responded to his servant’s fear, “…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.” (2 Kings 6:16-17) God commanded against fear because of His deliverance provision that is always available for any of His children that believes enough to trust and rest in His supernatural provision plan for deliverance. For deliverance to be activated there must be a full obedience to hold on and not fear as commanded by God. Elisha’s prayer opened his servant’s eye and his servant was able see and believe there deliverance in place. What you see is what you receive and becomes of you. See positive in place of negative…disallow fear. What to do is to know God and not know to fear.
Prayer for today: Ask God to open your understanding in obeying His word in every area of life. Ask for the grace not to entertain fear again.
