And Elisha prayed, & said, "Lord, I pray, open his eyes that he may see." Then the Lord opened the eyes of the young man, & he saw. And behold the mountain was full of horses & chariots of fire all around Elisha. (2 Kings 6:17 NIV)
Oh to see things from Gods perspective. We see the problems, circumstances, struggles, & enemies when God sees the solution. He says "What are you worried about I have sent all of these angels to fight for you?". He brings us through battle after battle & yet we doubt because our focus is on circumstances instead of the Lord of all Creation. I think that's part of the maturation process, learning to see things as Christ sees them. So what battle are you facing today? I encourage you to open your eyes & see things from Gods perspective. See the angels surrounding you. See the hand of Almighty God moving on your behalf. See the fiery chariots & horses there to fight for YOU. The fight might be lopsided but it might just be lopsided in your favor.

Enter
Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus (Heb. 10:19 NIV)
When you pray, did you know that you are entering His presence? My next question is HOW are you entering His presence? Do you enter with confidence & faith or is it more of "I know you probably wont but I hope you do". Christ by His shed blood has made it possible for us to enter into Gods presence. That same blood is why we can enter with confidence because there is power in that blood. If you are Gods child, the power of that blood is for YOU. We often believe that God will do it for someone else but not for us. Today I want you to remember to enter into Gods presence with confidence in the blood of Jesus Christ. Know that He shed His blood for you so that you could enter with confidence. God loved you enough to send His only Son to shed His blood for you so why would He not want to show His power through your life.

Go Away
Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, & he will flee from you. (James 4:7 NIV)
Ever feel like things are coming at you in waves. You get through one wave & are feeling good about the victory when suddenly here comes the next. It could be a trial, struggle, temptation, or sin that you've been dealing with. Two keys, first submit to God. Give it over to God & let Him take it & deal with it. Acknowledge His authority & lordship over your life. He is your power source. You have to stay connected to Him. Secondly, you have to resist the devil. If you are Gods child, he has no authority in your life. Christ has already paid the price for you. Remind him of his place & the end result of his story. Remind him of Who you belong to & that its time for him to go. You have to stand strong. Gods word promises that if you Satan will flee from you. God has already provided your way to victory, Ive reminded you of what you need to do, so go out & claim the victory.
