The story of Elisha is quite incredible.   In our mens meeting this am Pastor Nelson  mentioned the Lepers of 2 Kings  7,  the city  was besieged,  people were eating their children.  Elisha had a Word of Knowledge and predicted  provisions in plenty tomorrow.

Four Lepers decided to see if the enimies would feed or kill them, they hoped for mercy.   When they entered the enimies camp they had fled leaving everything behind.

A couple of points interested me.

■    2 Kings 7:6
King James Version (KJV)
“For the Lord had made the host of the Syrians to hear a noise of chariots, and a noise of horses, even the noise of a great host: and they said one to another, Lo, the king of Israel hath hired against us the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of the Egyptians, to come upon us.”

When we are surrounded and there is no way we can win, The Lord is able to deliver us.  Sometimes we must just believe the Word of the Lord.  “Stand fast and see the Salvation of God.”

The Lepers ate and carted off  spoils…..when  a Word of Wisdom came to them.  It is a Word we need to heed.

■     2 Kings 7:9
King James Version (KJV)
“Then they said one to another, We do not well: this day is a day of good tidings, and we hold our peace: if we tarry till the morning light, some mischief will come upon us: now therefore come, that we may go and tell the king’s household.”

Why are we not doing well?

We are besieged all about by sin, degradation, temptations, greed, lust the world and all its glory.

Why are we not doing well?

We have the Glad Tidings, yet we do not proclaim it with our Words, actions or attitude. We hold our peace. …let someone else do it.

We were sent out to share the Good News  “The Kingdom of God is at hand.” 

Jesus is alive, a personal force we can intimately know and love.  He would have all come to  the knowledge of His Grace and Mercy.

We must learn to dwell in His Secret Place, the Holy of Holies,  to put on His Yoke.  To learn to say YES LORD.  Not What? Where? When? How or Why?

■    Romans 10:14
King James Version (KJV)
“How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?”

We must share the Word of Life……

Have the Wisdom of the Lepers.   Some mischief is coming,  be prepared,  spread the Love of the Lord.

If we would hunger and thirst for righteousness,  the light of the Lord will touch those we meet.
