    2Understanding What the Spirit is

    Saying

    To truly understand the spiritual things2 we must see thethings in the 'pirit that our spiritual eyes were designed to see.

    (nderstand me$ when say Lsee in the 'pirit what mean isLunderstand what the 'pirit is saying.

    'o without understanding what the 'pirit is saying2 thewords of the 'cripture are Kust wordsthe power comes whenthe 'pirit brings those words to );E.

    about and the living +od one day$In the year that king +66iah died I saw also the 7859

    sitting u-on a throne, high and li'ted u-, and his train 'illedthe tem-le. :bove it stood the sera-hims ea&h one had siwings; with twain he &overed his 'a&e, and with twain he&overed his 'eet, and with twain he did 'ly. :nd one &ried untoanother, and said, Holy, holy holy, is the 7859 o' hosts thewhole earth is 'ull o' his glory. :nd the -osts o' the door

    was radically altered.

    As the mighty angels praised the )iving +od2 the very

    foundations of the building shook with the force of their voices.t was then that the prophet gained a stark realiGation that theholiness of the +od he was serving is absolute.

    We wag our heads and grumble about how the sinners willnever open their hearts to receive the +ospel2 will never listen

    though the clear signs are right in front of their eyes.The church loves to look at the world and hiss through its

    teeth at the heathen who refuse to hear the Word of +od and seethe truth.

    And all the while the church is patting itself on the back forits ability to Lsee the truth2 the cold2 hard fact is that the peoplewith eyes that donFt see and ears that donFt hear are more often

    than not those who call themselves Christians.When Christians take time to see that the vast maKority of

    preaching in the New Testament was aimed not at sinners2 but atreligious leaders2 theyFre shocked.

    Chapter 3

    3Its !ll !round Us

    The book of / ?ings tells us a tremendous story$

    $hen the king o' %yria warred against Israel, and took&ounsel with his servants, saying, In su&h and su&h a -la&e

    shall be my &am-. :nd the man o' 3od sent unto the king o'Israel, saying, Beware that thou -ass not su&h a -la&e; 'orthither the %yrians are &ome down. :nd the king o' Israel sentto the -la&e whi&h the man o' 3od told him and warned himo', and saved himsel' there, not on&e nor twi&e.

    ! "ings @01 "J#

    Apparently2 the king of 'yria was planning to conDuersrael2 but every time he held a high8level strategy meeting to

    plan what he was going to do with his forces2 it seemed the kingof srael had advance warning.

    %ne or two times would have seemed coincidental... but as ithappened more and more2 the king of 'yria began to suspect hehad a spy in his midst.

    'ince his plans had been revealed only to his inner circle2 hesuspected the spy must actually be in the inner circle.

    Any leader would do the same.

    "ut there was no spy. nstead2 the living +od revealed to hisprophet what was about to happenand the prophet2 who wasable to see into the spirit realm2 saw and took action.

    #artner2 this is key.

    +od doesnFt waste breath or revelation. When

    of +od demonstrates his ability to see into the 'pirit and seewhat +od is doing.

    tFs an important abilityor rather an attribute of theindwelling 'pirit.

    "y understanding in the 'pirit what was happening2 Elishawas able to warn the king of srael and save countless lives onboth sides of the battlefield. "ut the story gets even moree,plicit in telling the people of +od to be aware of more thanwhat they can get through their five senses$

    $here'ore the heart o' the king o' %yria was sore troubled'or this thing; and he &alled his servants, and said unto them,

    thy sword and with thy bow? %et bread and water be'orethem, that they may eat and drink, and go to their master. :nd

    he -re-ared great -rovision 'or them and when they hadeaten and drunk, he sent them away, and they went to theirmaster. %o the bands o' %yria &ame no more into the land o'Israel.

    ! "ings @10!/ "J#

    &ather than doing the obvious thing and massacring thesesoldiers2 Elisha made sure they were well taken care of.

    The end result of his kindness based upon the knowledgegiven to him by the )ord was that the bands of the 'yrians nolonger troubled the sraelites.

    The blessings that came from obedience and withholdingwrath saved far more lives than any other alternative.
