Our Covenant is Better Than Elisha’s

God is not stressed by the things that are happening in the world now. Our covenant is better than Elisha’s, when God took care of him. Because of our covenant and because we have the Spirit of God in us, we have access to Him all the time. You can hear from the Lord for yourself. Elisha knew the plans of the king of Aram by hearing from the Lord (2 Kings 6:8-17). In retaliation, the king sent a huge army against Elisha. He told his servant to not be afraid, that there were more with them than the army against them. We have to walk by faith. Step out, stand firm in your faith, and He will help you. You carry authority. Elisha waited until they made a move, and then he prayed for them to be blinded. He led them to Samaria and then threw a feast for his enemies, and they never raided the Israelites again. Sometimes God tells us if problems are coming, but regardless we need to operate in the wisdom of God. Spiritual gifts are for everyone (1 Corinthians 1:4-8). God is for us (Romans 8:31-34). Do not be in fear at this time. Look to the One who said He will meet all your needs.
