There are those instances when one cannot find any escape from suffocating problems.  It may appear like we are being destroyed by fear, difficulties and malicious enemies.

The Prophet Elisha’s experience can bestow hope and salvation.

One time when the king of Aram was at war with Israel, after consulting with his officers, he said, "At such and such a place I want an ambush set."  ⁹ The Holy Man sent a message to the king of Israel: "Watch out when you're passing this place, because Aram has set an ambush there." ¹⁰ So the king of Israel sent word concerning the place of which the Holy Man had warned him. This kind of thing happened all the time. ¹¹ The king of Aram was furious over all this. He called his officers together and said, "Tell me, who is leaking information to the king of Israel? Who is the spy in our ranks?" ¹² But one of his men said, "No, my master, dear king. It's not any of us. It's Elisha the prophet in Israel. He tells the king of Israel everything you say, even what you whisper in your bedroom."  ¹³ The king said, "Go and find out where he is. I'll send someone and capture him." The report came back, "He's in Dothan." ¹⁴ Then he dispatched horses and chariots, an impressive fighting force. They came by night and surrounded the city. ¹⁵ Early in the morning a servant of the Holy Man got up and went out. Surprise! Horses and chariots surrounding the city! The young man exclaimed, "Oh, master! What shall we do?"  ¹⁶ He said, "Don't worry about it—there are more on our side than on their side." ¹⁷ Then Elisha prayed, "O God, open his eyes and let him see." The eyes of the young man were opened and he saw. A wonder! The whole mountainside full of horses and chariots of fire surrounding Elisha!  (The Message, 2 Kings 6: 8-17)

It is imperative during such desperate conditions that we commune with MIND-GOD.  This has to be first and foremost. 

By taking stock of MIND’s omnipresent, intelligent and loving mental forces we will be calmed and renewed.  MIND will sharpen our mental capacities.  Our analytical, perceptive and creative capacities will go into full gear.  MIND-generated insight, perceptiveness, foresight, creativity and courage will flow into us. 

The painful, scary and destructive conditions of before will be seen as impotent deceptions.  We will realize that GOOD-GOD is superlative power, intelligence and action.  Our spiritual vision will be sharp.  Then we will see the throngs of life-health-love asserting ideas. 

These “angels” eliminate the paranoid delusions of matter-entrapped thinking.  Then we experience LOVE’s all-grace and all-presence.

The “armies” of LOVE-MIND are with us and they exceed and excise the lies of evil. 

Boundless, supernal forces of MIND’s goodness, love and ideas are always at hand to raise us to victory.
