And Elisha Saw It.

And Elisha Saw it

II Kings 2:11-13 NKJV

[11] Then it happened, as they continued on and talked, that suddenly a chariot of fire appeared with horses of fire, and separated the two of them; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven. [12] And Elisha saw it, and he cried out, “My father, my father, the chariot of Israel and its horsemen!” So he saw him no more. And he took hold of his own clothes and tore them into two pieces. [13] He also took up the mantle of Elijah that had fallen from him, and went back and stood by the bank of the Jordan. 

What you see is important in the spirit realm. It is a cognitive process that gives you a direction of where to go or what to do. Perception is what separates people of impact from others. When others cant see well ,they hold onto what they already know, even if things have changed. God cornered Jeremiah  on this. Jer.1:11-12. Jeremiah saw the rod of an almond tree. An almond is awake in early January, when other trees are still locked in their winter sleep. Adam Clarke says, "... it bears fruit in March, just at the commencement of spring, when other trees only begin to bud. It was here the symbol of that promptitude with which God was about to fulfill his promises and threatening". Thats what Jeremiah saw. Seeing differs. So Elijah told Elisha, " if you see me". 

   Let me warn you that keeping concentration for what youre expecting is not a very easy thing. The devi will want to distract you in every way. Just imagine it. Its beyond the Jordan. Its quiet and surreal. The insects chirping in the undergrowth are the only creatures disturbing the serenity of the moment. Then, there's a whirlwind. Some people probably would have been startled enough to call for their momma. Today the distraction is deeper with the outburst of the internet and the development of artificial intelligence. Elisha held on and saw Elijah taken up by the chariots and the horses. He screamed what he perhaps had rehearsed for a long time, " My father, my father, the Chariots of Israel and its horseman". He passed the test.He had the mantle.

   You too will see. You'll perceive what God is going to do today. You will be ready. And you'll enter today with your mantle. Even Jordan will obey you. I can't wait to hear your testimonies. Good morning.
