Keep Striking | Realignment | Week 3
II KINGS 13:14-19
14 When Elisha [f]became sick with the illness of which he was to die, Joash the king of Israel came down to him and wept over [g]him and said, “My father, my father, the chariots of Israel and its horsemen!” (God heard the evil kings prayer because God is always for His people) 15 Elisha said to him, “Take a bow and arrows.” So he [h]took a bow and arrows. 16 Then he said to the king of Israel, “Put your hand on the bow.” And he put his hand on it, then Elisha laid his hands on the king’s hands. 17 He said, “Open the window toward the east,” and he opened it. Then Elisha said, “Shoot!” And he shot. And he said, “The Lord’s arrow of victory, even the arrow of victory over Aram; for you will [i]defeat the Arameans at Aphek until you have [j]destroyed them.”18 Then he said, “Take the arrows,” and he took them.(listen to me... you’ve been given arrows OF DELIVERANCE to gain ground on the enemy). And he said to the king of Israel, “Strike the ground,” and he struck it three times and [k]stopped. 19 So the man of God was angry with him and said, “You should have struck five or six times, then you would have struck Aram until you would have [l]destroyed it. But now you shall strike Aram only three times.” (Church why do we stop and not use what God has placed into your arsenal?)
BIG IDEA: -Church... it’s time to Keep striking!!
Revelation 1:3-4
Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of the prophecy, and [b]heed the things which are written in it; for the time is near. Listen to me... there are seven -stars (angels)/dr. Rutland mentions 7 seals / trumpets / lamp stands -churches/ bowls But there also seven beatitudes (blessings) weaved in through Revelation. This one in verse 3 is the first one - read/hears and needs to the things written 4 John to the seven churches that are in Asia: Grace to you and peace, from Him who is and who was and who [c]is to come, and from the seven Spirits who are before His throne,
