This is it—we're in the arena. The battle lines are drawn. In today's deeply reflective and spiritually rich episode, Simon and Reverend Ben Cooper take us into the heart of the struggle that every believer faces: Do we let God fight our battles, or do we let the flesh take over?

This episode is part one of a compelling podcast series that focuses on 2 Kings 6:14-17, the powerful story of the prophet Elisha and his servant surrounded by an enemy army. The servant was terrified—until Elisha prayed, “Open his eyes, Lord, so that he may see.” Suddenly, the servant’s spiritual eyes were opened, and he saw the mountains full of horses and chariots of fire all around them. The message is clear: Heaven fights for us.

Simon and Ben use this profound Old Testament passage to explore what it means to live by faith and not by sight, especially in today’s world where uncertainty, conflict, and spiritual warfare are all around us. The discussion dives into topics like anxiety, fear, self-reliance, and spiritual blindness. Many of us say we trust God, but when opposition comes, we quickly default to handling things in our own strength. Are we truly walking by the Spirit, or are we reacting in the flesh?

The battlefield of life isn’t just physical—it’s spiritual. This conversation calls believers to a deeper level of spiritual awareness, to recognize that just because we don’t see God’s hand moving doesn’t mean He isn’t working behind the scenes. We’re reminded that faith is not about what we feel, but about who we trust.

There’s a special emphasis on how to find peace in the middle of pressure, how to let go of personal control, and how to open your spiritual eyes through prayer and Scripture. Elisha’s confidence in God’s presence becomes a model for us today—inviting listeners to rest in the knowledge that “those who are with us are more than those who are with them.”

Whether you're facing family struggles, financial uncertainty, health crises, or emotional exhaustion, this episode offers biblical encouragement, spiritual insight, and the reassurance that God is with you on every front. You’re not alone. You’re not outnumbered. You’re not forgotten.

Join Simon and Ben for this engaging episode that not only unpacks ancient truth but applies it to the modern spiritual battlefield. This is a message that will equip you, encourage you, and empower you to stand firm and let God fight your battles.
