- Read 2 Kings 3: 1-15 (NKJV)
In moments of desperation and need, the question often arises: how do we provoke prophetic possibilities in our lives? When we face situations where we are stranded, confused, and in desperate need of a miracle, the answer lies in our pursuit of God.
In 2 Kings 3, we find Jehoshaphat and the kings of Israel and Edom in a dire situation. They had marched for seven days without water, facing imminent disaster. In their desperation, Jehoshaphat asked, "Is there no prophet of the Lord here, that we may inquire of the Lord by him?" (2 Kings 3:11). This shows the first step in provoking prophetic possibilities: a deep desire for God.
When you face challenges that seem insurmountable, there must be something within you that drives you to seek more of God. It is this hunger, this pursuit of His presence, that opens the door to the miraculous. Like Jehoshaphat, you must recognize that the solution lies not in human effort, but in seeking divine intervention.
If you find yourself in need of a miracle, follow the example set in 2 Kings 3. Develop a deep desire for God, seek Him with all your heart, fast, and turn to Him completely.
The next step in provoking prophetic possibilities is actively seeking the presence of God, often represented by His prophet or His Word. In 2 Kings 3:12, the kings sought out Elisha, the prophet, to hear from the Lord. In our context, this means turning to the Word of God, seeking counsel from godly leaders, and as well, positioning yourself in environments where God's voice can be heard clearly.
Joel 2:12 emphasizes the importance of turning to God with all your heart, with fasting, weeping, and mourning. Fasting is a powerful way to provoke the move of God in your life. It demonstrates a sincere desire to connect with God, to hear from Him, and to see His hand moves in your situation. As you deny your flesh, you are more in tune with the Spirit, allowing God to speak clearly and to guide you into His prophetic possibilities.
In 2 Kings 3:15, after seeking the prophet and worshiping, the Word of the Lord came to Elisha, providing the kings with the divine strategy they needed to win the battle. When you seek God with all your heart, when you fast and pray, you position yourself to receive divine direction. God will reveal the steps you need to take, the words you need to speak, and the actions that will lead to your breakthrough.
If you find yourself in need of a miracle, follow the example set in 2 Kings 3. Develop a deep desire for God, seek Him with all your heart, fast, and turn to Him completely. As you do this, you will provoke the prophetic possibilities in your life, and God will move in ways you never imagined possible.
