More For you than against you!

For there are more on our side than on theirs...Lord, open his eyes and let him see!  2 Kings 6:16-17 (NLT)

Victory in our lives often begins with our spiritual eyes being opened to the victory God has already secured on your behalf!  Regardless of the way things may appear in the natural realm right now, there are more for us than against us! Having God in your life is infinitely more than all the world's resources because since you have Him, you have access to all things! It does not matter if there appears to be a lack of finances, friendships, career opportunities, or any other thing because if God is for us, then who or what can be against us (Romans 8:31)!  It is important for us not to "look at the troubles we can see now; rather, we fix our gaze on things than cannot be seen.  For the things we see now will soon be gone, but the things we cannot see will last forever (2 Corinthians 4:18 NLT).  We do not focus on the challenges we can see but on the Word God has spoken to us concerning His promises to us!

In the sixth chapter of second Kings, the prophet Elisha's servant became fearful when he saw an enemy army surrounding the city (2 Kings 6:15).  Nonetheless, Elisha prayed that his servant would be encouraged that there were more for them than were against them and consequently the prophet and the servant did secure a great victory (2 Kings 6:16-18).  Similar to this story, seeing our victory spiritually is often  followed by its manifestation in the natural realm.  In Luke 15, the Father told his eldest son that all that the Father had was always his (Luke 15:31) but the older son never saw it, believed it, or received it.  Don't look at where you are in the natural realm on today but open the eyes of your spirit to see all that God has provided that is already yours and the natural manifestation is sure to follow!
