Chapters 6--8 record additional miracles in the ministry of [[Elisha]]. Some were done privately for [[God]]'s people and some were done publicly for the nation. In each case we clearly see that [[Elisha]] was never at a loss to know [[God]]'s will, or exercise [[God]]'s power. What a great testimony for the [[Christian]] today who is constantly alert to the leadership of the Holy [[Spirit]]. I sincerely believe [[God]] wants all His children to have that wholesome relationship with Him. Too often we are guilty of depending on the flesh, but [[God]] wants us to be led by His Holy [[Spirit]] , ever ready to witness for Him.
In chapter 6 [[Elisha]] restores the axe-head, captures the Syrian invaders, and delivers the city from the Syrian army. Note in chapter 7:9 that when the imprisoned citizens of [[Samarial]] heard the good news, they rushed out and trampled the unbelieving [[Lord]] under foot. He had heard the good news, and he saw the proof of the message, but he died before he could enjoy it. What a warning to the sinner who delays receiving Christ. Christ stands at the heart's door, waiting to be invited in. The devil would want you to believe there is no urgency in receiving Christ, but don't be guilty of putting off until tomorrow what should be done today. There are many people who planned to be saved in the eleventh hour, but died at 10:30!
