He 00:01:23.049 --> 00:01:25.750 was using an axe that was borrowed. It wasn't 00:01:25.750 --> 00:01:30.189 his property and in the process of cutting the 00:01:30.189 --> 00:01:34.269 trees and using that axe head the head of the 00:01:34.269 --> 00:01:37.790 axe fell in the water and the man of God said 00:01:37.790 --> 00:01:41.310 verse 6 where did it fall and he showed him the 00:01:41.310 --> 00:01:44.760 place and he cut down a stick and cast it in 00:01:44.760 --> 00:01:48.280 in there where the where he showed him and the 00:01:48.280 --> 00:01:52.780 iron did swim therefore he said take it up and 00:01:52.780 --> 00:01:56.219 put it in your hand and he took it now this is 00:01:56.219 --> 00:01:59.180 such a small story in the bible but it's very 00:01:59.180 --> 00:02:04.519 powerful and it's a foreshadow what i saw in 00:02:04.519 --> 00:02:08.099 this is that it reminded me of in the new testament 00:02:08.099 --> 00:02:13.810 you know that Axe the axe head represents sin, 00:02:13.830 --> 00:02:18.009 you know, it was black it was heavy and It can 00:02:18.009 --> 00:02:21.169 it can take it down right and that's what sin 00:02:21.169 --> 00:02:25.069 is in our life It's it's dark and it can be a 00:02:25.069 --> 00:02:28.270 heavy burden and it can take you down it can 00:02:28.270 --> 00:02:32.949 take you down quick, right and so the Bible says 00:02:32.949 --> 00:02:39.770 in James that when we sin sin leads to death 00:02:39.719 --> 00:02:42.840 matter what the situation if it's a relationship 00:02:42.840 --> 00:02:46.139 if it's your physical body if it's your mental 00:02:46.139 --> 00:02:50.520 capacity whatever realm the more we sin it's 00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:53.919 going to lead us to death But just as this weight 00:02:53.919 --> 00:02:57.360 was heavy and fell down into the water the man 00:02:57.360 --> 00:03:01.379 ran to the man of God Which was Elijah and it 00:03:01.379 --> 00:03:04.479 and he represents Jesus in this picture the same 00:03:04.479 --> 00:03:07.699 way When that sin and that burden gets so heavy 00:03:07.699 --> 00:03:11.659 on us we can run to Jesus We don't need a man 00:03:11.659 --> 00:03:14.460 of God now because Jesus is our advocate.

You know every other 00:04:45.930 --> 00:04:49.769 king every other leader in the religious realm 00:04:49.769 --> 00:04:53.149 their dust is still in the grave but not Jesus 00:04:53.149 --> 00:04:56.529 hallelujah he's alive and he's alive and he loves 00:04:56.529 --> 00:04:59.709 you today he loves you so much and the same way 00:04:59.709 --> 00:05:02.949 that axe head I mean that stick was thrown in 00:05:02.949 --> 00:05:05.910 the water and that axe head rose up that's the 00:05:05.910 --> 00:05:09.449 same resurrection power that God gives us today 00:05:09.449 --> 00:05:12.939 and you say how does he give us that power When 00:05:12.939 --> 00:05:16.279 we get born again when we do just what I was 00:05:16.279 --> 00:05:18.860 sharing about Believing in our heart that he 00:05:18.860 --> 00:05:21.920 died on that cross for your sin. He was the payment 00:05:21.920 --> 00:05:26.949 for our sin so He washes you clean. The Bible 00:05:26.949 --> 00:05:29.490 says white as snow when we give our heart to 00:05:29.490 --> 00:05:32.629 him. So when we confess with our mouth that Jesus 00:05:32.629 --> 00:05:35.449 is Lord and we repent, we turn away from that 00:05:35.449 --> 00:05:38.689 sin.

And verse 10, the king of Israel sent 00:12:05.129 --> 00:12:08.740 to the place where the man of God told him and 00:12:08.740 --> 00:12:12.639 warned him of and saved himself. again and again 00:12:12.639 --> 00:12:15.320 and again the man of God kept telling him what 00:12:15.320 --> 00:12:18.820 the enemy was planning against him and it saved 00:12:18.820 --> 00:12:21.639 the the king of Israel and the children of Israel 00:12:21.639 --> 00:12:24.480 the army of Israel therefore the heart of the 00:12:24.480 --> 00:12:27.139 king of Syria was very troubled for this thing 00:12:27.139 --> 00:12:30.039 and he called his servants and said unto them 00:12:30.039 --> 00:12:33.659 will you not show me which one of us is for the 00:12:33.659 --> 00:12:37.120 king of Israel and not and one of his servants 00:12:37.120 --> 00:12:41.500 said none my lord but it's Elijah the prophet 00:12:41.500 --> 00:12:45.500 that is in Israel that tells the king the words 00:12:45.500 --> 00:12:49.820 that you speak in your bedchamber. Wow. Wow. 00:12:49.840 --> 00:12:52.399 That's called a word of knowledge. It's actually 00:12:52.399 --> 00:12:55.259 talked about in the New Testament, but the Holy 00:12:55.259 --> 00:12:59.059 Spirit revealed to Elijah something he wouldn't 00:12:59.059 --> 00:13:02.700 have known on his own. And that was where the 00:13:02.700 --> 00:13:05.860 where the king of Syria was taking his army because 00:13:05.860 --> 00:13:08.279 he wanted to destroy the children of Israel. 00:13:09.029 --> 00:13:13.090 So Elijah would tell the king of Israel so that 00:13:13.090 --> 00:13:16.690 they would be prepared. He protected God protected 00:13:16.690 --> 00:13:20.350 and he will protect you if you're in a dangerous 00:13:20.350 --> 00:13:23.570 situation Get out and God will give you wisdom 00:13:23.570 --> 00:13:26.809 ask him for wisdom ask him for the courage You 00:13:26.809 --> 00:13:29.830 should not be in any dangerous situation his 00:13:29.830 --> 00:13:32.769 place for you is safety his place for you is 00:13:32.769 --> 00:13:36.289 love and joy and peace and kindness and gentleness 00:13:36.750 --> 00:13:40.309 if you're in a bad situation and you need help 00:13:40.309 --> 00:13:43.549 you ask God for help and he will lead you out 00:13:43.549 --> 00:13:46.830 of that situation he will take you where you 00:13:46.830 --> 00:13:49.129 need to be and he will take you out of what you 00:13:49.129 --> 00:13:52.269 don't need to be in and he will protect you if 00:13:52.269 --> 00:13:56.879 you if you believe in him trust him and follow 00:13:56.879 --> 00:13:59.220 his word what he speaks to your heart and you 00:13:59.220 --> 00:14:02.700 go oh but does God really speak absolutely the 00:14:02.700 --> 00:14:05.120 same way our heavenly father the same way you 00:14:05.120 --> 00:14:07.759 as a father speak to your children our heavenly 00:14:07.759 --> 00:14:11.539 father speaks to us through Jesus and the Holy 00:14:11.539 --> 00:14:14.139 Spirit Jesus is at the right hand of the father 00:14:14.139 --> 00:14:17.220 interceding for you praying for you declaring 00:14:17.220 --> 00:14:19.860 the Word of God over you and the Holy Spirit 00:14:19.860 --> 00:14:23.919 will speak to you if you ask God if you ask him 00:14:23.919 --> 00:14:26.769 pray Pray to God in Jesus' name and He will answer 00:14:26.769 --> 00:14:31.389 you. He will answer you. And so then, okay, let's 00:14:31.389 --> 00:14:34.870 go back to the Word of God. And as we continue 00:14:34.870 --> 00:14:38.830 in the story, he said go and spy where he is 00:14:38.830 --> 00:14:41.250 and I will send and fetch for him he's talking 00:14:41.250 --> 00:14:43.990 about Elisha and it was told unto him behold 00:14:43.990 --> 00:14:47.970 he's in Dothan therefore he sent horses and chariots 00:14:47.970 --> 00:14:51.570 and a great host I mean this king of Syria he 00:14:51.570 --> 00:14:54.490 was worried about Elisha he sent a whole host 00:14:54.490 --> 00:14:58.169 of valiant men that were had chariots and horses 00:14:58.169 --> 00:15:01.250 and and they came by night and they compassed 00:15:01.250 --> 00:15:04.509 the city round about now do you think god did 00:15:04.509 --> 00:15:08.750 not know about this of course he did god knows 00:15:08.750 --> 00:15:12.929 everything nothing gets by our god and so when 00:15:12.929 --> 00:15:16.409 the servant of the man of god alicia's servant 00:15:16.409 --> 00:15:20.620 rose up Early that morning and went forth. He 00:15:20.620 --> 00:15:23.559 saw a host compassing the city both horses and 00:15:23.559 --> 00:15:27.539 chariots and his servant said unto him alas master. 00:15:27.539 --> 00:15:30.980 What should we do? Oh boy the master. I mean 00:15:30.980 --> 00:15:34.440 the servant of Elisha was so concerned. All he 00:15:34.440 --> 00:15:38.659 saw was the enemy surrounding them. Elisha prayed 00:15:38.659 --> 00:15:40.960 you know when you're surrounded or you're in 00:15:40.960 --> 00:15:44.159 a bad situation it's always the right thing to 00:15:44.159 --> 00:15:48.240 pray and Elisha prayed and said Lord I pray that 00:15:48.240 --> 00:15:51.700 you open the eyes that he may see he's talking 00:15:51.700 --> 00:15:54.279 about his servant and the Lord opened his eyes 00:15:54.279 --> 00:15:57.620 of the young man and he saw and behold the mountain 00:15:57.620 --> 00:16:01.559 was full of horses and chariots of fire round 00:16:01.559 --> 00:16:06.870 about Elisha when they came down to him Elisha 00:16:06.870 --> 00:16:09.490 prayed unto the Lord and said smite these people 00:16:09.490 --> 00:16:12.710 I pray with blindness and he smote them with 00:16:12.710 --> 00:16:16.850 blindness according to the word of Elisha okay 00:16:16.850 --> 00:16:22.110 so here we have he has asked God to smite the 00:16:22.110 --> 00:16:25.620 eyes of the enemy And Elisha said to them, this 00:16:25.620 --> 00:16:27.940 is not the way neither is this the city follow 00:16:27.940 --> 00:16:30.360 me and I will bring you to the man whom you seek 00:16:30.360 --> 00:16:34.159 and he led them to Samaria. So they were being 00:16:34.159 --> 00:16:38.600 led to Samaria not realizing that Elisha the 00:16:38.600 --> 00:16:41.100 one leading them was the man they wanted but 00:16:41.100 --> 00:16:43.279 God had blinded their eyes. So they didn't see 00:16:43.279 --> 00:16:48.269 him the way he was. And so and it came to pass 00:16:48.269 --> 00:16:50.710 when they have come into Samaria their Elisha 00:16:50.710 --> 00:16:52.990 said Lord open the eyes of these men that they 00:16:52.990 --> 00:16:55.789 may see and the Lord open their eyes and they 00:16:55.789 --> 00:16:58.690 saw and behold they were in the middle of Samaria 00:16:58.690 --> 00:17:01.909 and the king of Israel said Elisha when he saw 00:17:01.909 --> 00:17:04.690 them my father shall I smite them shall I smite 00:17:04.690 --> 00:17:06.809 them you know now the king of Israel wants his 00:17:06.809 --> 00:17:09.730 revenge on this army that was chasing them down. 00:17:11.050 --> 00:17:15.509 But Elisha led them there and the Holy Spirit 00:17:15.509 --> 00:17:19.710 of God, the supernatural power of God is what 00:17:19.710 --> 00:17:22.269 blinded them to not know that he was Elisha or 00:17:22.269 --> 00:17:25.109 where he was leading them. And he answered and 00:17:25.109 --> 00:17:28.190 said, You will not smite them. Would you smite 00:17:28.190 --> 00:17:30.670 those whom you take in captive with your sword 00:17:30.670 --> 00:17:33.470 and your bow? Set bread and water before them 00:17:33.470 --> 00:17:36.410 that they may eat and drink and go to their master. 00:17:36.769 --> 00:17:39.950 He was treating them like prisoners of war. you 00:17:39.950 --> 00:17:43.269 know he had brought them in he you know the Lord 00:17:43.269 --> 00:17:46.289 had encompassed roundabout and he brought them 00:17:46.289 --> 00:17:49.440 in. And there was one important scripture we 00:17:49.440 --> 00:17:52.240 missed when we were when we were reading I skipped 00:17:52.240 --> 00:17:56.380 over by accident and 16 it says Fear not for 00:17:56.380 --> 00:18:00.299 they with us are more than they with them In 00:18:00.299 --> 00:18:02.779 other words when he had asked God to open the 00:18:02.779 --> 00:18:05.980 eyes of his servant to see the chariots and the 00:18:05.980 --> 00:18:09.920 horses He saw that there were more men with Elisha 00:18:09.920 --> 00:18:12.480 and the servant than there was the entire army 00:18:12.480 --> 00:18:15.980 around that city That's how much help you have 00:18:15.980 --> 00:18:18.940 on your side. We have angels. We have the Holy 00:18:18.940 --> 00:18:22.900 Spirit and the angels. The Bible says are innumerable. 00:18:23.059 --> 00:18:27.119 So you can trust God. You can trust God. So they 00:18:27.119 --> 00:18:29.880 fed the king of Israel fed the prisoners of war 00:18:29.880 --> 00:18:34.059 and then they left and then they left and it 00:18:34.059 --> 00:18:38.000 says. And they prepared great provision and when 00:18:38.000 --> 00:18:40.539 they had eaten and drunk he sent them away and 00:18:40.539 --> 00:18:42.859 they went their master. So the bands of Syria 00:18:42.859 --> 00:18:47.019 came no more into the land of Israel. Hallelujah. 00:18:47.529 --> 00:18:50.549 God protected them, and He will protect you. 00:18:50.670 --> 00:18:55.210 He will protect you, and He will bless you in 00:18:55.210 --> 00:18:59.369 ways that you can't even imagine. That's how 00:18:59.369 --> 00:19:03.269 good our God is. He is a faithful, loving, heavenly 00:19:03.269 --> 00:19:07.069 Father. Heavenly Father.
