Before you read this post it would be a good idea to read 2 Kings chapter 3. It tells the story of kings going to battle and running out of resources along the way. One of the Kings is a godly man and asks if there is prophet nearby so they can hear what God says about their situation. The prophet gives them instruction that, when they follow, brings them a supernatural victory. It is from this passage of scripture that the following thoughts came last year.
"What battle is there to fight? What need has risen in the fight? What is the Word of The Lord? What work can I do in the natural and believe God for in the supernatural? God came through not only with provision but also with a supernatural victory. They defeated the enemy from where they were to the enemy's own territory."
The right question can often get us to the right place. The inner contemplation of the heart will show where we are at and where we need to go. Notice the progression of the questions:
"What battle is there to fight?" There are battles worth fighting and there are battles worth passing up.
"What need has risen in the fight?" Sometimes we are blind to our own need and other times our need is screaming at us. Our need will drive us to God or to despair. The wise will go to God because they know only He can take care of our needs.
"What is the Word of the Lord?" There is no way to proceed without a Word from God. We might as well turn back and get out of the fight without it.
"What work can I do in the natural and believe God for in the supernatural?" You put in the natural and God puts in the super. Together it makes a supernatural experience. Never despise hard work or effort. God used digging trenches to bring a victory.
What questions should you be asking? Is there a next question you would add to my series?
