Developing Spiritual Senses

2Ki 6:11 NKJV – Therefore the heart of the king of Syria was greatly troubled by this thing; and he called his servants and said to them, “Will you not show me which of us [is] for the king of Israel?”2Ki 6:12 NKJV – And 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 bedroom.”2Ki 6:13 NKJV – So he said, “Go and see where he [is], that I may send and get him.” And it was told him, saying, “Surely [he is] in Dothan.”2Ki 6:14 NKJV – Therefore he sent horses and chariots and a great army there, and they came by night and surrounded the city.2Ki 6:15 NKJV – And when the servant of the man of God arose early and went out, there was an army, surrounding the city with horses and chariots. And his servant said to him, “Alas, my master! What shall we do?”2Ki 6:16 NKJV – So he answered, “Do not fear, for those who [are] with us [are] more than those who [are] with them.”2Ki 6:17 NKJV – And Elisha prayed, and said, “LORD, I pray, open his eyes that he may see.” Then the LORD opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw. And behold, the mountain [was] full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.2Ki 6:18 NKJV – So when [the Syrians] came down to him, Elisha prayed to the LORD, and said, “Strike this people, I pray, with blindness.” And He struck them with blindness according to the word of Elisha.

If you believe in Jesus then there are certain things that you will have to accept and face that may be difficult depending on worldview that you have previously held.

Western civilization over the years has become less and less sophisticated in regard to understanding spiritual matters.

This comes from the anti-supernatural bias that our society has largely adopted. Our focus has shifted from the spiritual to the natural

What’s interesting is that when we examine our civilization we see ourselves as very clever and advanced for rejecting all the ancient superstitions

But according to God, you can’t get any more stupid than Atheism. Atheism is actually base-line stupid. There is no greater delusion

Psalm 14:1 The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.”I saw a great bumper sticker btw it read “National Atheist’s Day: April 1st The fool hath said in his heart there is no God.”Psalm 10:4 NKJV – The wicked in his proud countenance does not seek God; God is in none of his thoughts.Psa 74:22 ESV – Arise, O God, defend your cause; remember how the foolish scoff at you all the day! (mocking with unbelief)

The savage, stone age tribe living in Papua New Guinea that believes they need to appease animal spirits to prevent calamity is closer to the truth than Atheism

Why? Because they at least acknowledge that the spiritual exists, they are aware that there are supernatural powers at play that exert influence on the world

Now I am not saying that that the various religions of the world are not lies. They are! They are doctrines of demons.

The Devil has a plethora of lies some of which are more intricate and sophisticated than others

Western Civilization has just bought into the least sophisticated lie the enemy has to offer

In other countries the devil isn’t busy trying to convince them that the supernatural doesn’t exist because those societies take for granted that the supernatural does exist

Instead he often tries to deceive them within this framework through false revelation or miracles
