Today’s Word

The king of Aram was so angry with the prophet Elisha that he sent an army to capture him. Elisha was only one man against an army, but he knew how to pray bold prayers. He had seen God open blind eyes, and now he prayed for the reverse. Not only were the soldiers struck blind, but Elisha led them into Samaria where the king of Israel captured them before their eyes were reopened.

When you know that God is with you, you'll see God do amazing things. He can protect you, guide you, and make things happen that you could never make happen. Don't go around feeling weak, intimidated, and afraid of what you're up against. Just as with Elisha, you are so powerful and full of favor that even when the enemy does his best to defeat you, his best will never be enough. You cannot be defeated because you have the favor of God.

Prayer for Today

Father, thank You that no matter what trouble I face, I can stay in peace knowing that You are with me, and You can turn every situation around and put an end to it. I declare that You are greater than any force that comes against me. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

I Hear His Whisper..."Trust my timing." : Rivers of pain and persecution will never extinguish this flame. Endless floods will be unable to quench this raging fire that burns within you. Everything will be consumed. It will stop at nothing as you yield everything to this furious fire until it won’t even seem to you like a sacrifice anymore. Song of Songs 8:7 TPT I Hear His Whisper . . . Trust my timing.   The days of completion are mine, not yours. I will complete my work in you in my perfect timing. Even as my ways are perfect, so my timing is perfect. For you have said, "It seems I am standing still and going nowhere." But I say over you, I am unfolding my glory upon you even as you wait on me. I will make it happen and will show you my perfection. What often feels like an endless season of waiting is often a time of preparation. You must believe in things you cannot see. You must trust that even when things seem silent, I am working on your behalf
