<\/a> <\/p>\ud83d\udcd6 Bible Story: Elisha and the Invisible Army
\nScripture: 2 Kings 6:8\u201323<\/p>\n
After the miracle of the floating axe head, the king of Aram was at war with Israel. Whenever he planned a military attack, the prophet Elisha would warn the king of Israel, and the Israelites would avoid the danger.<\/p>\n
The king of Aram became frustrated. He thought there must be a spy in his own camp.<\/p>\n
But one of his servants said:<\/p>\n
\u201cNone of us is a traitor. Elisha, the prophet in Israel, tells the king of Israel even the words you speak in your bedroom.\u201d<\/p>\n
Determined to capture Elisha, the king sent horses, chariots, and a large army to the city of Dothan, where Elisha was staying.<\/p>\n
They arrived during the night and surrounded the city.<\/p>\n
Early the next morning, Elisha\u2019s servant went outside and saw the enemy forces everywhere.<\/p>\n
Terrified, he cried:<\/p>\n
\u201cOh, my lord, what shall we do?\u201d<\/p>\n
Elisha answered calmly:<\/p>\n
\u201cDo not be afraid. Those who are with us are more than those who are with them.\u201d<\/p>\n
Then Elisha prayed:<\/p>\n
\u201cLord, open his eyes so that he may see.\u201d<\/p>\n
God answered the prayer.<\/p>\n
The servant suddenly saw the hills full of horses and chariots of fire surrounding Elisha\u2014God\u2019s heavenly army protecting His prophet.<\/p>\n
As the Aramean soldiers approached, Elisha prayed again, asking God to strike them with blindness. The Lord did so.<\/p>\n
Elisha then led the confused army into Samaria, the capital of Israel.<\/p>\n
Once they arrived, Elisha prayed that their sight would be restored. When their eyes were opened, they realized they were surrounded by Israel’s forces.<\/p>\n
The king of Israel asked Elisha if he should kill them.<\/p>\n
Elisha said no.<\/p>\n
Instead, he instructed the king to prepare a great feast for them.<\/p>\n
After they had eaten and drunk, they were sent home in peace.<\/p>\n
As a result, the Aramean raiding parties stopped attacking Israel for a time.<\/p>\n
\u271d\ufe0f Key Verse<\/p>\n
\u201cDo not be afraid. Those who are with us are more than those who are with them.\u201d
