UNCOVERING SATAN'S SCHEMES (3)
'Satan...has blinded the minds of those who don't believe."

UNCOVERING SATAN'S SCHEMES (3)
You can have 20/20 vision in the natural world yet be blind in the spiritual world and fall prey to Satan's schemes. But when you turn to God in prayer, He can open your eyes and give you a strategy for victory. Notice what happened when Elisha and his servant woke up in the city of Dothan to discover they were surrounded by hostile armies. "When the servant of the man of God...went outside, there were troops, horses, and chariots everywhere. 'Oh, sir, what will we do now?' the young man cried to Elisha. 'Don't be afraid!' Elisha told him. 'For there is more on our side than on theirs!' Then Elisha prayed, 'O Lord, open his eyes and let him see!' The Lord opened the young man's eyes, and when he looked up, he saw that the hillside around Elisha was filled with horses and chariots of fire. As the Aramean army advanced toward him, Elisha prayed, 'O Lord, please make them blind.' So, the Lord struck them with blindness as Elisha had asked." (2Ki 6:15-18 NLT). Are you fearing defeat? Are you confused and don't know what to do? Do you feel like the odds are stacked against you, and you won't succeed? The Bible says, "Greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world" (1Jn 4:4). Get alone with God and pray. "Lord open my eyes." And stay there until He does it. When it happens, you will discover that the forces of heaven is on your side, and the resources of heaven are available to you. How do you access them? By faith!
