Sermons on 2 Reyes 6:19:

What We Don’t See?

Contributed by Gerald Roberts on Sep 14, 2011

The servant of the prophet Elisha never saw the encamping angels that were there to protect, as a result the sermon is centralized on the concept of things we don’t see when we need protection.

Surrounded by an army, Elisha’s servant cried, "What shall we do?" But when Elisha prayed, the servant could suddenly see that God’s forces, invisible to everyone else, far outnumbered the enemy. The story offers a rare glimpse of the "invisible world" of supernatural forces. God has resources to ...read more

Fear Not

Contributed by Paul Hammons on Mar 13, 2007

Fear is a powerful emotion -- it can grip us with an immobilizing terror (Dreams). It can keep us from succeeding in life. Fear wants to steal your joy, take your courage and leave you cold, naked and trembling.

Fear Not; 2 Kings 6:8-23 Between 1875 and 1883 there was a professional thief whose very name struck fear as he terrorized the Wells Fargo stage line. From San Francisco to New York, his name became synonymous with the danger of the frontier. He robbed 29 different stagecoach crews. Amazingly, he ...read more

Contributed by Wade Martin Hughes, Sr on Apr 17, 2006

We must address this question: SHALL WE SMITE? Or What are we going to do with our swords? We do not need to be in bitter contention, debate, argue, fuss, there is a better way. Shall we smite? No, feed them!

Open Your Eyes

Contributed by Major Gerardo Balmori on Apr 2, 2011

It’s so easy for us to grovel in our ingratitude, gripe and grumble. It’s so easy to be negative about people and life. When it comes to ingratitude, we all must plead guilty. There is so much good, beauty and kindness all around us, and we see only th

Eyes Of Faith, Not Sight Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Mar 26, 2017

Elisha and his servant were surrounded by the Syrian army. The servant was fearful, seeing only the enemy. Elisha was confident, seeing the host of God about them. We tend to see only the adversity, but fail to see God. He is able to meet our needs.

Eyes of Faith, not Sight 2 Kings 6: 15-20 During this time Israel faced numerous attacks from the Syrians. Each time Syria’s king planned an attack, the Lord gave Elisha insight to their plans and he was able to warn Israel. Knowing someone was sharing their plans with the Israelites, the king ...read more

Guardian Angels Series

Contributed by C. Philip Green on Dec 9, 2020

Angels surround you when you’re alive, and they accompany you when you die, carrying you into the very presence of God Himself, so ask God to open your eyes and don’t be afraid.

Seeing The Unseen (Coronavirus) Series

Contributed by Scott Bayles on Mar 23, 2020

The Bible encourages us to “look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen” (2 Corinthians 4:18). That's just what Elisha does in 2 Kings 6. What does he see that we often don't?

Gehazi and Elisha looked out the same window... one saw doom and death, one saw opportunity. What is your perspective and how will it affect/effect your life style?

The God Of Angel Armies Series

Contributed by Jerry Owen on Aug 15, 2018

Under spiritual and physical attack can be frightening. Elisha's account of his experience with the army of Aram ought to give us faith, knowing the God of Angel Armies is with us.

THE GOD OF ANGEL ARMIES 2 Kings 6:8-23 2 Kings 6:8 Now the king of Aram was warring against Israel. Elisha served as the prophet of God for 50-60 years. During that time Israel faced many problems.

Open My Eyes, Lord

Contributed by Melvin Newland on Jun 24, 2024

Watching & praying are often associated in the Bible. Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, asked his Disciples to watch & pray with him as he prayed in the Garden at Gethsemane. I think Jesus was asking them more than simply to stay awake & pray.

To See What You Can See. Series

Contributed by Colin Mcgeer on May 1, 2023

To see for me is the most important sense of the five senses. The physical realm without the spiritual is meaningless. We need a revelation of who Christ is. We need our spiritual eyes to be opened by the Holy Spirit.

I think if I had to choose the most important sense amongst the 5 senses, I would choose sight. I love colour and unique objects in the environment. I am always looking to see something new or different. With our eyes we can discern so much about people. We can see what they are feeling, if ...read more

Do We Have A Case Of Spiritual Blindness?

Contributed by Chris Swanson on Nov 5, 2023

Spiritual eyesight is needed in our walk with the Lord. We should learn to see the spiritual dangers that are around us.
