When God Walks With The Weak
When you are ready to get over the weakness and the weariness, God is ready to go with you and sustain you.
The enemy wants to wear us down and wear us out to the point we give up. We need to confront the weakness and declare that God can bring us through it and be our strength. God is ready to go on a walk the weak. When you are ready to get over the weakness and the weariness, God is ready to go with you and sustain you.
The enemy wants you weak and impoverished
When there is a famine, you will eat anything. Spiritual famine is just as bad. When you experience a famine in the word of God, you will allow the world to twist your thoughts and beliefs. When you avoid conviction, you will open yourself up to stubborn issues, and you will look for help in politics and worldly places.
2 Kings 6:24-25
And it came to pass after this, that Benhadad king of Syria gathered all his host, and went up, and besieged Samaria. And there was a great famine in Samaria: and, behold, they besieged it, until an ass’s head was sold for fourscore pieces of silver, and the fourth part of a cab of dove’s dung for five pieces of silver.
2 Kings 6:29
So we boiled my son, and did eat him: and I said unto her on the next day, Give thy son, that we may eat him: and she hath hid her son.
There is a tomorrow for us
There is a tomorrow and God has already spoken life into it. There will be always doubters in our life that see your situations from the outside and say you’ll never overcome it. God told the doubters that they would see it, but not experience it for themselves. God is not intimidated by our problems.
2 Kings 7:1-3
Then Elisha said, Hear ye the word of the Lord; Thus saith the Lord, To morrow about this time shall a measure of fine flour be sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, in the gate of Samaria. Then a lord on whose hand the king leaned answered the man of God, and said, Behold, if the Lord would make windows in heaven, might this thing be? And he said, Behold, thou shalt see it with thine eyes, but shalt not eat thereof. And there were four leprous men at the entering in of the gate: and they said one to another, Why sit we here until we die?
Get Up
The four leprous were sitting at the gate to gather the leftovers and trash from the city so they had food to eat. The men were leprous and in a a famine. They said to one another that they were going to die one way or another, so why not get up and find food. When they reached the camp of Syria, there was no one there. 2 Kings 6:17 says,'”And Elisha prayed, and said, Lord, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the Lord opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.” I believe that God made those same horses and chariots scare the Syrian camp and made a way for the four leprous men.
2 Kings 7:4-10
If we say, We will enter into the city, then the famine is in the city, and we shall die there: and if we sit still here, we die also. Now therefore come, and let us fall unto the host of the Syrians: if they save us alive, we shall live; and if they kill us, we shall but die. And they rose up in the twilight, to go unto the camp of the Syrians: and when they were come to the uttermost part of the camp of Syria, behold, there was no man there. 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. Wherefore they arose and fled in the twilight, and left their tents, and their horses, and their asses, even the camp as it was, and fled for their life. And when these lepers came to the uttermost part of the camp, they went into one tent, and did eat and drink, and carried thence silver, and gold, and raiment, and went and hid it; and came again, and entered into another tent, and carried thence also, and went and hid it. 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. So they came and called unto the porter of the city: and they told them, saying, We came to the camp of the Syrians, and, behold, there was no man there, neither voice of man, but horses tied, and asses tied, and the tents as they were.
