8 Then the king of Syria warred against Israel, and took counsel with his servants, saying, In such and such a place shall be my camp.
9 And the man of God sent unto the king of Israel, saying, Beware that thou pass not such a place; for thither the Syrians are come down.
10 And the king of Israel sent to the place which the man of God told him and warned him of, and saved himself there, not once nor twice.
11 Therefore the heart of the king of Syria was sore troubled for this thing; and he called his servants, and said unto them, Will ye not shew me which of us is for the king of Israel?
12 And one of his servants said, None, my lord, O king: but Elisha, the prophet that is in Israel, telleth the king of Israel the words that thou speakest in thy bedchamber.
13 And he said, Go and spy where he is, that I may send and fetch him. And it was told him, saying, Behold, he is in Dothan.
14 Therefore sent he thither horses, and chariots, and a great host: and they came by night, and compassed the city about.
15 And when the servant of the man of God was risen early, and gone forth, behold, an host compassed the city both with horses and chariots. And his servant said unto him, Alas, my master! how shall we do?
16 And he answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them.
17 And Elisha prayed, and said, LORD, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.
18 And when they came down to him, Elisha prayed unto the LORD, and said, Smite this people, I pray thee, with blindness. And he smote them with blindness according to the word of Elisha.
19 And Elisha said unto them, This is not the way, neither is this the city: follow me, and I will bring you to the man whom ye seek. But he led them to Samaria.
20 And it came to pass, when they were come into Samaria, that Elisha said, LORD, open the eyes of these men, that they may see. And the LORD opened their eyes, and they saw; and, behold, they were in the midst of Samaria.
21 And the king of Israel said unto Elisha, when he saw them, My father, shall I smite them? shall I smite them?
22 And he answered, Thou shalt not smite them: wouldest thou smite those whom thou hast taken captive with thy sword and with thy bow? set bread and water before them, that they may eat and drink, and go to their master.
23 And he prepared great provision for them: and when they had eaten and drunk, he sent them away, and they went to their master. So the bands of Syria came no more into the land of Israel.

9 Then the man of God sent to the king of Israel, saying, Beware that you pass not such a place, for the Syrians are coming down there.
10 Then the king of Israel sent to the place of which [Elisha] told and warned him; and thus he protected and saved himself there repeatedly.
11 Therefore the mind of the king of Syria was greatly troubled by this thing. He called his servants and said, Will you show me who of us is for the king of Israel?
12 One of his servants said, None, my lord O king; but Elisha, the prophet who is in Israel, tells the king of Israel the words that you speak in your bedchamber.

13 He said, Go and see where he is, that I may send and seize him. And it was told him, He is in Dothan.
14 So [the Syrian king] sent there horses, chariots, and a great army. They came by night and surrounded the city.
15 When the servant of the man of God rose early and went out, behold, an army with horses and chariots was around the city. Elisha’s servant said to him, Alas, my master! What shall we do?
16 [Elisha] answered, Fear not; for those with us are more than those with them.
17 Then Elisha prayed, Lord, I pray You, open his eyes that he may see. And the Lord opened the young man’s eyes, and he saw, and behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.
18 And when the Syrians came down to him, Elisha prayed to the Lord, Smite this people with blindness, I pray You. And God smote them with blindness, as Elisha asked.
19 Elisha said to the Syrians, This is not the way or the city. Follow me, and I will bring you to the man whom you seek. And he led them to Samaria.
20 And when they had come into Samaria, Elisha said, Lord, open the eyes of these men that they may see. And the Lord opened their eyes, and they saw. Behold, they were in the midst of Samaria!
21 When the king of Israel saw them, he said to Elisha, My father, shall I slay them? Shall I slay them?
22 [Elisha] answered, You shall not slay them. Would you slay those you have taken captive with your sword and bow? Set bread and water before them, that they may eat and drink and return to their master.
23 So [the king] prepared great provision for them, and when they had eaten and drunk, he sent them away, and they went to their master. And the bands of Syria came no more into the land of Israel.
17th verse: Before Elisha confronts the enemy he has God open his servants eyes (Why)
for those with us are more than those with them.
the Lord opened the young man’s eyes, and he saw, and behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.
And when the Syrians came down to him, Elisha prayed to the Lord, Smite this people with blindness, I pray You. And God smote them with blindness,
What ever you can Bind You can Also Loose..
Story goes on, Elisha leads them into the hands of the King Of Isreal, who’s ready to kill them.
The Prophet who they came to kill says no feed them and send them home.
If we going to break limitations we have to be willing to speak life and not death in our enemieS.
The Holy Bible: King James Version Chapter 6
22 And he answered, Thou shalt not smite them: wouldest thou smite those whom thou hast taken captive with thy sword and with thy bow? set bread and water before them, that they may eat and drink, and go to their master. 23 And he prepared great provision for them: and when they had eaten and drunk, he sent them away, and they went to their master. So the bands of Syria came no more into the land of Israel.
This is How We Treat Our Enemies…
27 But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you,
28 Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you.
Thats the Gospel Of The Kingdom Of God, and this is how you break limitations....
This was my Introduction:
1 Elisha answered, “Listen to what the Lord says! By this time tomorrow you will be able to buy in Samaria three kilogrammes of the best wheat or six kilogrammes of barley for one piece of silver.”
2 The personal attendant of the king said to Elisha, “That can’t happen—not even if the Lord himself were to send grain at once!” “You will see it happen, but you will never eat any of the food,” Elisha replied.
Elisha prophesy is in a time of severe famine. Can you declare a feast in a famine in your life?
3 Four men who were suffering from a dreaded skin disease were outside the gates of Samaria, and they said to one another, “Why should we wait here until we die?
4 It’s no use going into the city, because we would starve to death in there; but if we stay here, we’ll die also. So let’s go to the Syrian camp; the worst they can do is kill us, but maybe they will spare our lives.”
Stay Here aNd Die
Stay Here aNd Die
So here is the dilemma
So here is the dilemma
They are at the cross road of breaking limitations in there leopardess life.
I don’t know if you ever experienced in life where you didn’t fit in anywhere.
Unnoticed, unappreciated, undervalued, invisible & Untouched.
Just like them: you can’t stay here....
Why sit we here until we die?
The Holy Bible: King James Version. 2 Ki 7:3).
I need 3 people type its time to break limitations in my Life
5 So, as it began to get dark, they went to the Syrian camp, but when they reached it, no one was there.
6 The Lord had made the Syrians hear what sounded like the advance of a large army, with horses and chariots, and the Syrians thought that the king of Israel had hired Hittite and Egyptian kings and their armies to attack them.
7 So that evening the Syrians had fled for their lives, abandoning their tents, horses, and donkeys, and leaving the camp just as it was.
See The prophetic word went to work with 3 leapers.
21 What you say can preserve life or destroy it; so you must accept the consequences of your words.
21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.
21 Your words are so powerful that they will kill or give life, and the talkative person will reap the consequences.
The state your in has a lot to do with your words..
You don’t need to learn witchcraft to curse someone or yourself:
9 We use it to give thanks to our Lord and Father and also to curse other people, who are created in the likeness of God.
9 We use our tongue to praise God our Father and then turn around and curse a person who was made in his very image!
Your words break or make limitations over your Life:
The Holy Bible: King James Version Chapter 7
4 If we say, We will enter into the city, then the famine is in the city, and we shall die there: and if we sit still here, we die also. Now therefore come, and let us fall unto the host of the Syrians: if they save us alive, we shall live; and if they kill us, we shall but die.
8 When the four men reached the edge of the camp, they went into a tent, ate and drank what was there, grabbed the silver, gold, and clothing they found, and went off and hid them; then they returned, entered another tent, and did the same thing.
9 But then they said to each other, “We shouldn’t be doing this! We have good news and we shouldn’t keep it to ourselves. If we wait until morning to tell it, we are sure to be punished. Let’s go at once and tell the king’s officers!”
10 So they left the Syrian camp, went back to Samaria and called out to the guards at the gates: “We went to the Syrian camp and didn’t see or hear anybody; the horses and donkeys have not been untied, and the tents are just as the Syrians left them.”
11 The guards announced the news, and it was reported in the palace.
“We shouldn’t be doing this! We have good news and we shouldn’t keep it to ourselves.
This is evangelism to the fullest. They are famished they are excluded from society yet they have hart for the people who don’t have a hart for them.
Some of us have kept Jesus Christ & New Beginnings to ourselves. For what ever reason we have reasoned with ourselves.
They went and yelled up the wall with no fear or acceptance. They broke Limitation’s
When you become comfortable in your own Skin, without fronting, stunting or pretending your breaking limitations
12 It was still night, but the king got out of bed and said to his officials, “I’ll tell you what the Syrians are planning! They know about the famine here, so they have left their camp to go and hide in the countryside. They think that we will leave the city to find food, and then they will take us alive and capture the city.”
13 One of his officials said, “The people here in the city are doomed anyway, like those that have already died. So let’s send some men with five of the horses that are left, so that we can find out what has happened.”
14 They chose some men, and the king sent them in two chariots with instructions to go and find out what had happened to the Syrian army.
15 The men went as far as the Jordan, and all along the road they saw the clothes and equipment that the Syrians had abandoned as they fled. Then they returned and reported to the king.
The King totally forgot about what the Prophet had said yesterday!
The enemy of your mind will give your spiritual amnesia.. You will forget everything God said and remember everything the devil lied to you.
Thank God for the servant: So let’s send some men with five of the horses that are left, so that we can find out what has happened.
You can always tell the level of breaking limitations you are on by the level of Risk you are willing to take In the name of the Lord.
16 The people of Samaria rushed out and looted the Syrian camp. And, as the Lord had said, 3 kilogrammes of the best wheat or 6 kilogrammes of barley were sold for one piece of silver.
17 It so happened that the king of Israel had put the city gate under the command of the officer who was his personal attendant. The officer was trampled to death there by the people and died, as Elisha had predicted when the king went to see him.
18 Elisha had told the king that by that time the following day 3 kilogrammes of the best wheat or 6 kilogrammes of barley would be sold in Samaria for one piece of silver,
19 to which the officer had answered, “That can’t happen—not even if the Lord himself were to send grain at once!” And Elisha had replied “You will see it happen, but you will never eat any of the food.”
20 And that is just what happened to him—he died, trampled to death by the people at the city gate.
17 I pray that the Father of glory, the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, would impart to you the riches of the Spirit of wisdom and the Spirit of revelation to know him through your deepening intimacy with him.
18 I pray that the light of God will illuminate the eyes of your imagination, flooding you with light, until you experience the full revelation of the hope of his calling —that is, the wealth of God’s glorious inheritances that he finds in us, his holy ones!
19 I pray that you will continually experience the immeasurable greatness of God’s power made available to you through faith. Then your lives will be an advertisement of this immense power as it works through you! This is the mighty power
20 that was released when God raised Christ from the dead and exalted him to the place of highest honor and supreme authority in the heavenly realm!
21 And now he is exalted as first above every ruler, authority, government, and realm of power in existence! He is gloriously enthroned over every name that is ever praised, not only in this age, but in the age that is coming!
22 And he alone is the leader and source of everything needed in the church. God has put everything beneath the authority of Jesus Christ and has given him the highest rank above all others.
23 And now we, his church, are his body on the earth and that which fills him who is being filled by it!
