The Holy Spirit reminded me that His eyes are everywhere from His position, observing all that takes place. He watches carefully over those who love Him to fulfill His will concerning their lives, and He also takes note of the wickedness of the wicked, as declared in Proverbs 15:3. This truth establishes why we as the followers of Jesus are instructed to look only to the Lord and not to become preoccupied with the activities of the enemy. Focusing on what the enemy is doing is a deceptive ploy designed to draw attention away from the truth, and it always leads to ruin.
The Lord alone possesses the full perspective of every detail and knows exactly how to thwart every evil scheme the enemy plots against His people. Revelation.4:6-8. Therefore, we as the followers of Jesus have no reason to worry because the One we follow can never miss the mark and possesses all authority both in heaven and on earth. The only essential requirement is for us to remain aligned with the Holy Spirit’s version of events, rather than reacting to natural appearances or fear-driven narratives.
The Holy Spirit then brought to remembrance the account of Elisha the prophet in 2 Kings.6:14-19 when the king of Syria sent troops to surround him in an attempt to stop him from hearing from God. When Elisha’s servant went out and saw the surrounding army, he was overwhelmed with fear and dread. However, Elisha responded calmly, declaring that those who were with them were far more than those who were against them.
The servant was confused because he could see only Elisha and himself. Elisha then prayed that the servant’s eyes would be opened to see the true picture from God’s perspective. When his eyes were opened, he saw the chariots of the Lord surrounding and protecting them. In that moment, fear evaporated, confidence returned, and the servant entered a place of rest which is the place we as followers of Jesus are exhorted to be in today as well.
Elisha then prayed again, asking the Lord to blind the eyes of the enemy troops so that they would be led by Elisha’s voice. This occurred exactly as he prayed, and the troops were brought into surrender to the will of God. Through this account, the Holy Spirit is urging you as followers of Jesus to stop being agitated by the pranks of satan and to stop giving undue attention to what the enemy appears to be accomplishing. Instead, you are to keep your eyes fixed on Jesus and His plan alone. Hebrews.12:2.
The Lord already knows everything and has a plan for your deliverance. He will not allow His people to slip. So as a follower of Jesus you are called to have greater confidence in God’s ability to save you from every evil work, rather than in satan’s ability to harm you. 2 Timothy.4:18. The Lord has already declared in Isaiah.54:17 that no weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against you in judgment you shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord.
Just as Elisha acted in faith that day,we as followers of Jesus are instructed to do the same now and watch as the enemy’s plans fade under the mighty hand of God working on our behalf. No one has the power to snatch us from the Fathers hand, and we must not allow fear to separate us from Him. John.10:29. Instead, we are called to refuse fear, then surrender fully to the Holy Spirit, and see from God’s perspective as we join the Lord in confidence as He brings our enemies into derision and elevates His people to a greater place of honor and glory.
As followers of Jesus I encourage you to boldly lay hold of these words and allow the abundance of grace to flow toward you, making you as bold as a lion, as you walk in the presence and power of the Holy Spirit. I declare this time to be your hour of deliverance, a time for you to follow the direction of the Holy Spirit and walk in the signs, wonders, and miracles the Lord has prepared to bring you through to glorious triumph in Jesus name.
I declare in the Name of Jesus Christ that your eyes are being aligned with heaven’s perspective as fear is broken off you, all negative agitation is silenced, and your absolute confidence in the Lord is restored. I decree that the plans of the enemy are fading under the hand of the Lord working on your behalf, and no weapon formed against you shall prosper.
I declare that you will not slip into darkness, you will not fall, and you will not be taken from God’s hand because this is your hour of deliverance. In Jesus’ name you are being led by the Holy Spirit into triumphant outcomes, by walking boldly in His presence, power, with signs, wonders and miracles. I decree that all grace through these words abounds toward you now, and you arise in honor, peace, and victory in Jesus’ mighty Name. Amen.
