Sometimes there are matters that can only be brought to the feet of Jesus. I’m reminded of the story in 2 Kings 4 where the Shunamite’s son had died. She made her way to the Prophet (who represents God in this scenario ). She lay her case at His feet.
Notice that Elisha’s servant was sent to ask what was wrong. But she didn’t even let on there was a problem. “All is well” was her response. She was determined to take the matter to the mouthpiece who prophesied her son into existence. Her face was set to go to the author of her faith to now finish it. We see a process of God here how the Lord likes to hear the cases of His people.
Hebrews 10: 30
For we know Him Who said, Vengeance is Mine [retribution and the meting out of full justice rest with Me]; I will repay [I will exact the compensation], says the Lord. And again, The Lord will judge and determine and solve and settle the cause and the cases of His people.
In this case the prophet said to his servant when he tried to interfere with her coming to Elisha, “let her come to me because the Lord has kept the knowledge of this situation from me. In other words, the Lord wanted her by faith to present her case to Elisha (representing God). The Lord wants us by faith to come to Him.
Sometimes we go to the servants (the people) for help, and sometimes they can help, but then there are cases that require miraculous intervention to bring turnaround and God can do what only God can do. Some things look dead, some promises look dead, and only God can raise them to life. In these times we need to bypass the servants (people) for help and go to God with our case, our petition.
There’s nothing wrong with having people stand with you, but some things require silence in the natural with a resolve and response of “all is well” and to only bring the case before God.
God YOU promised me, please raise my son from the dead!
The Lord is our avenger and He wants to recompense and repay. He wants to avenge our cause and settle our case.
“For the Lord has a day of vengeance, a year of recompense, for the cause of Zion.”
Isaiah 34:8 AMPC
I decree the Lord’s vengeance over your cause and may He bring recompense and reward.
“Behold, the Lord God will come with might, and His arm will rule for Him. Behold, His reward is with Him, and His recompense before Him. [Rev. 22:7, 12.]”
Isaiah 40:10 AMPC
ALL IS WELL beloved He will not delay.
“For still a little while (a very little while), and the Coming One will come and He will not delay.”
Hebrews 10:37 AMPC
