Do you ever have times when you feel like you are in a place or situation where there is no way out? You feel like you are surrounded and alone. Well, don’t despair. That is exactly how Satan wants you to feel. He wants you to lose hope and give up.

In 2 Kings chapter 6, God tells us about the king of Aram fighting against the Israelites. The king of Aram realized the king of Israel knew, ahead of time, everything the king of Aram was going to do and he thought there was a spy in his army. When he was informed that the prophet Elisha was telling the king of Israel what they were doing, the king of Aram was angry and decided to kill Elisha.

Elisha’s servant got up one morning and saw that they were surrounded by the Aramean army. He was afraid and ran and told Elisha. Then Elisha, who was used to being taken care of by God, asked God to open the servant’s eyes. Suddenly the servant saw the hills were filled with angelic soldiers in chariots of fire. He was no longer afraid.

Have you ever thought about when Lucifer tried to take over heaven? God told the angels to choose who they wanted to serve. One third of the angels chose to follow Lucifer, who is now Satan. The other two thirds of the angels chose God. That means two things. First, God’s army is twice as big as Satan’s army. But, way more important than that, Satan’s army is lead by Satan, while God’s army is lead by God. So which army do you think is stronger?

How can we ever be afraid of Satan and his army when we know we are protected by God and His army. That Satanic army cannot ever win, and God’s army cannot, and will not ever fail. We have nothing to fear. You have nothing to fear.

When the Aramean army went after Elisha and his servant, although they didn’t have the spiritual eyes to see it, they were actually sandwiched between God’s servants on the inside, and God’s army on the outside. They couldn’t be in a worse position than that.

In our church we sing a song that says when we think we are surrounded, we are surrounded by God.

When people decide whether to serve God or to serve Satan (everyone is serving one or the other, there is no middle ground) we are also deciding who’s army we are serving in. If you are serving in God’s army, you have no reason to ever be afraid. If you are serving in Satan’s army, you should be terrified. Who do you want leading the army you are fighting with, Satan or God?

Think about it.
