In 2 Kings 6.8, it is said that the king of Syria warred against Israel. Prophet Elisha, inspired and warned by God, dismantled all those traps made against the king of Israel. It upset the king of Syria, and it happened several times, though. All deliverance came from God to the prophet Elisha The king of Syria got to know that Elisha was the one who used to tell the king of Israel the words that the king of Syria used to tell in his bedroom. So, he ordered the prison of Elisha. The king of Syria sent huge troops to catch Elisha and to arrest him. Gehazi, Elisha`s servant, was the one who saw those strong troops. The huge troops are enemies that can`t be defeated, like an impossible case in court, a terminal disease according to the medicine among so many conditions that can beat a human being. However, if your eyes see beyond obstacles, those huge troops are nothing before God who surrounds you. Unfortunately, some people exalt problems and enemies above God, but the Bible says who has such behavior falls. It`s a typical person and unable to see beyond barriers.

Faith makes a difference in people`s lives and prevents them from being smashed by problems as if it were a steamroller. Faith is available for everyone and takes a person away from the abyss and pitfalls and drives you to the victory.

Being a Christian means nothing more than being a common person. If you look at the problem and give in, you are an ordinary person. You have to try to see beyond your problem in God, further than ordinary and be aware that God is with you. It`s usual for ordinary people to get desperate before an obstacle, but those who are faithful in God, have the sight that there are much more than the situation that surrounds you, more than the huge troops and threats against your victory. You have no reason to get desperate. This one looks at the crisis surrounded by many troops, aware that God is together and He is greater than any other condition in our lives. Even if the situation is too hard to stand, but if you have the sight of God`s work, if you are faithful and cry out, I`m sure that the problem that surrounds you will fall to the ground. Elisha`s servant was an ordinary person, but as soon as Elisha prayed for God to open his eyes, he understood that those enemy troops were in big problems. David couldn`t see Goliath like the others who ran away from him, but he saw God`s power and the affront against the Lord. He stood up in order to make his enemy hear very clearly he accepted the challenge saying that Goliath would come with the sword and spears, but he would be on behalf of the Lord. Goliath fell to the ground with a simple stone. That`s our God, and that`s the way our sight must be. God will open your eyes through your faith, through the prayer of the prophet who announces this message. You will see the magnitude of God confident in whom you rely on, so your victory is guaranteed.
