What did Elisha See?
2 Kings 6:17(NIV) “Then Elisha prayed and said, ‘LORD, please, open this eyes that he may see. And the LORD opened the servant’s eyes, and he saw; and behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire surrounding Elisha.” Elisha saw a vast army surrounding him, and his servant, the Syrian King, wanted to kill Elisha. The servant was afraid, but Elisha’s strong faith let him ask Adonai to show the servant in the spirit who surrounded them. Once the servant saw the angels, his spirit calmed. A vast army of God’s angels protects us when we call out to him. Father God is always ready to hear from us and talk to us, but most people are too afraid or not interested in talking with God. As our society is falling further into despair, we must pray and look to Almighty God for guidance. A change in our attitudes and lives is necessary to enter the kingdom of Heaven, and Adonai is coming sooner than we think. Prayer and forgiveness of our sins lead to salvation and a life with Almighty God. Learn the four words God wants us to know.

Book Excerpt
Looking Through the Sea of Glass
“Then Elisha prayed and said, “O LORD, I pray, open his eyes that he may see.” And the LORD opened the servant’s eyes and he saw; and behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha”. (2 Kings 6:17- NIV)
Prayer is a powerful force. Prostrating ourselves before Jehovah is the best way to get positive results from Him. Once we allow our Spirit to bend toward the acceptable journey to know Yeshua - then we will start to live according, to the scripture, that said; “you are not far from the Kingdom of God” (Mk 12:34).
We are consumed with our “get it now” version of prayer. We rarely really wait for a response from Messiah Yeshua; hence, a prayer that is looming in our hearts is never fully answered by God. I am included in this scenario. What I have found is, we can all have the correct solution to our prayers if we just are still and quiet before Almighty God. Being still is so easily stated, but very difficult to accomplish in our mortal bodies. This is a practice that takes time, prayer, silence, and consistent yearning to accomplish.
We have too many distractions and in-fighting with our Spirit to do or think about life’s chaos. Being quiet and listening to the Holy Spirit speak to us takes time and tenacity, which we all have none? And yes, the excuses come forth like a wave of water - “we have to do this and that” neglecting the ultimate goal which is silence. Consequently, arriving once again back at square one with all of the sorrow, frustrations, disappointments, abandonment, discouragement, unfulfilled goals, and heartache.
