You Enemy Will Hear A Rumoir

Your Enemy Will Hear A Rumour 

II Kings 7:6-7 NKJV

[6] For the Lord had caused the army of the Syrians to hear the noise of chariots and the noise of horses—the noise of a great army; so they said to one another, “Look, the king of Israel has hired against us the kings of the Hittites and the kings of the Egyptians to attack us!” [7] Therefore they arose and fled at twilight, and left the camp intact—their tents, their horses, and their donkeys—and they fled for their lives. 

 In 2Kings 19:7, what is happening here is declared as a divine strategy: that your enemy will hear a rumour. It is Isaiah's prophecy against Senachrib during the reign of Hezekiah. Miriam Webster defines rumour as " a widely held opinion having no known source : hearsay".  It may also be described as a statement or story that is in circulation but has not been proven to be true. God can make your enemy to hear a rumour. 

   'The Phycology of Rumours' is a book by Robert H. Knapp, published in 1944. It analyses over a thousand rumours during world war 2. Knapp identifies three basic characteristics of rumours: " ...they're transmitted by word of mouth; they provide "information" about a "person, happening, or condition"; and

they express and gratify "the emotional needs of the community."

The rumours these Syrian soldiers heared was from heaven. Read the lines again. Then there was a stampede. May your enemy hear a rumour. 

   So the lepers found the camp empty.  The Syrians had left everything just to save themselves. The next verse talks of the sudden transformation of the lepers to wealthy men. They gathered and hid all they could. They also ate to their satisfaction before sending the news to the King. The prophecy was fulfilled. Today is the day for your own fulfillment. Your enemy will hear about it. Good morning.
