Fear not, for they that be with us are more than….
I. MY BELOVED SISTERS IN THE LORD, grace be unto you. Beloved, if today you are with a heavy heart, let me speak directly to you: God sees what you are going through. Depression that won’t lift. Marriage that feels like war. Bills that won’t stop. Ministry doors that won’t open. That quiet whisper that says, “Just give up.” Let not your past intimidate you into defeat and surrender your future to failure. Today I encourage you not to fear what you see. Do not fear what you hear. Do not fear for tomorrow. The Bible in II Kings 6:16 encourages us. “Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them.” You are afraid because you think you are alone. But today, I have good news for you; watch out, for there are many standing in prayer with you, there are many ready to support you, and there are many more who understand you. When Elisha’s servant woke up to discover their city surrounded by enemy chariots and horses, he panicked. Elisha’s response? “Fear not; for they that are with us are more than they that are with them.”
II. MY DEAR BROTHERS IN THE LORD, today, I also pray that the Lord open your eyes. Lord, open my eyes, Lord! open our eyes.” Our problem is not that we are outnumbered. Our problem is that we have only seen with our natural eyes. Let’s open them. In II Kings 6:15-17, Elisha prayed, and God revealed chariots of fire and horses of fire around them. The invisible host was greater. The invisible forces working for us are more than those working against us. In Psalm 91:11, “For He shall give His angels charge over you…” You are not fighting alone. The Lord has already given orders to angels to watch and fight for us. It's unfortunate most often, like Elisha’s servants, we do not see those working for us, so we think and attempt to struggle alone, attempt to solve the problem alone, and attempt to walk alone. Romans 8:31: “If God be for us, who can be against us? I encourage you today; no matter the state in which you find yourselves, know for certain that God is with you.
III. SON OF MAN, in Daniel 3:24-25, Nebuchadnezzar asked how it came about that I see four men in the furnace, even though three men were thrown into the fire. God opened his eyes to actually see who the fourth person was, and he confesses that the fourth person looks like the Son of God. Jesus shows up in the fire to save them so the fire does not harm them. Jesus will show up for you; today, the storm will not overwhelm you, your debt will not lead to your disgrace, that sickness will not kill you, and your current unemployment is not your final state. God’s power is not measured by our current resources. God never sends anyone into a battle without guaranteeing His presence. Where God is, the odds shift. Depression lies and says, “You’re alone. No one understands.” But Isaiah 41:10 says, “Fear not, for I am with you… I will strengthen you. I will help you.” God's assurance is that not only is He with us, but He will also strengthen us. God says He will help us.
IV. DAUGHTER OF ZION, speak Psalm 23 out loud daily, even if you don’t feel it. Faith often starts in the mouth before it reaches the heart. Today, get up and move for ten minutes; action breaks the cycle of despair. Don't isolate yourself; there are many who are ready to help you. God strengthens, but He often strengthens as you take the next step. When your marriage feels surrounded by hurt, betrayal, or cold silence, remember Malachi 2:16 – God hates divorce because He hates covenant-breaking. But He loves restoration; that relationship can be restored. That heart can be reconciled with God. Reconciliation is part of restoration, so I urge you to pray Ephesians 5:25 over your spouse today, even if they don’t deserve it. “Husbands, love your wives as Christ loved the church…” That kind of love doesn’t wait for reciprocation. This is a DIVINE NEW DAY PROPHETIC WORD of encouragement sent forth through the authority and power of Christ Jesus and delivered to the brethren through God's Vessel, Francis Ameyibor, Yes! Stop fighting each other and start fighting for each other against the real enemy.
V. 2026 IS OUR YEAR AND SEASON TO BE LIFTED UP—Pray for open eyes like Elisha did for his servant. Ask God to show you the unseen help: intercessors, angels, future converts.
PRAYER: LORD! Help us to remember that our calling is too high, our family is too precious, and our legacy is too valuable to be traded for momentary pleasure, LORD! Help us to flee from the company of strange women and men. LORD! Help us to guard our hearts, and help us to watch and pray always, and guide us to walk in wisdom. In Jesus Christ’s name, Amen.
