2 Kings 6:15-17 – “When the servant of the man of God rose early in the morning and went out, behold, an army with horses and chariots was all around the city.  And the servant said, “Alas, my master!  What shall we do?” ¹⁶ He said, “Do not be afraid, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.” ¹⁷ Then Elisha prayed and said, “O Lord, please open his eyes that he may see.” So 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.” 

A powerful reminder filled my consciousness as I read, prayed, and considered the Word of God today.  I was reminded of the importance of being alert, keeping the heart filled with God, and the reality that we are not alone.

In Luke 21:34-36, Jesus gave the disciples stages of warning regarding the Last Days.  I believe we are in those days, and 2025 is the beginning of the last jubilee before the millennial kingdom.

The danger is that we either become complacent, fail to keep the fire burning in our hearts, let down our guards, or become entrapped and unprepared.   Another danger is that we become fearful because of increased evil and chaos.  We lose hope, thinking we are doomed.

The deterrent for that is to continually focus on God and be alert.   One thing we need to keep us focused, encouraged, and ready is found in 2 Kings 6 and 2 Chronicles 32.  What is that?  Elisha’s prayer for his servant to have spiritual eyes to see and Hezekiah’s declaration to the people.   Both referred to the same truth, “There are more with us than those coming against us.” Jesus’ words are an additional reminder, “I could ask the Father, and He would send more than 12 legions of angels to me.”

In these Last Days, we need to stir up the flame of the Spirit in us, focusing on God, His goodness, His Promises, His person, and power!  Then, we need to remind ourselves that we are never alone and that there are more with us than with them (no matter who them is).  We are Victorious in Jesus!  Tough times are coming, but we have cause to rejoice – God is with us and in us!

I heard the Holy Spirit whisper to my heart, “What can stop you?” Before I could answer, I knew it was me!   Nothing can stop us but us!  Christ is in us, so if we stay focused and alert and never lose sight of the truth, that there are MORE WITH US than with the enemy, we are undefeatable!

Keep your eyes open and keep looking up, for truly, there are more with us than with them!   Have a fantastic day in Jesus!
