When Elisha's servant saw the enemy army surrounding them and panicked, Elisha prayed and God opened his eyes to see the MOUNTAIN FULL of horses and chariots of FIRE surrounding them. The spiritual reality was protection, not portals—more angels than demons, always.
I REFUSE the lie that crystals and sage opened portals demons still use. IT IS WRITTEN that the earth is the LORD'S and everything in it—rocks have no power over me. IT IS WRITTEN that He who is in me is GREATER than he who is in the world. Elisha's servant saw armies of FIRE protecting him when his eyes were opened. I am Abraham's seed, covered by the BARAK blessing. My home belongs to JESUS. Angels outnumber demons. Every rock, every herb is under the lordship of Christ. I am PROTECTED, SEALED, and SURROUNDED by heavenly hosts.
The Father isn't asking you to spiritually fumigate your house—He's showing you the MOUNTAIN OF FIRE already surrounding you. When Elisha's eyes were opened, he saw MORE angels than enemies, always.
