What does real repentance actually look like?

In 2 Kings 6–7, King Jehoram tears his clothes and wears sackcloth. On the outside, it looks like humility. It looks like repentance. It looks like sorrow.

But is his heart truly broken before God?

In this powerful episode, we walk through one of the most intense passages in Scripture. A city under siege. Famine so severe it turns horrific. A king who appears repentant. And yet, beneath the outward display, something else is happening in his heart.

This message confronts a hard but necessary question:

Are we truly surrendered to God, or are we trying to follow a formula to get what we want?

We’ll explore:

• The difference between true repentance and religious performance
• Why outward sorrow does not always mean inward surrender
• The danger of saying, “Why should I wait on the Lord any longer?”
• What Luke 8 reveals about the soil of our hearts
• Why God’s timing tests our trust

This is a word for the Church right now. It is also a word for each of us personally.

Truth exposes. But truth also sets us free.

What you are facing right now may not be what you think it is.

In this episode, I walk through 2 Kings chapter 6 and show how the difference between panic and peace comes down to one thing: God vision. When Elisha’s servant looked at the situation with natural eyes, all he could see was danger, fear, and defeat. But when God opened his eyes, everything changed.

This message is for anyone who feels surrounded, overwhelmed, or under attack. If you have been asking, “What do I do now?” this teaching will help you see what Heaven sees and understand how God flips the script in ways you never expect.

In this episode, you will learn:

• Why natural vision always leads to fear, but God vision brings peace
• How God vision reveals both the enemy’s strategy and God’s strategy
• Why feeling trapped does not mean you are defeated
• How God can turn an attack into deliverance for more than just you
• The power of prayer in opening your eyes and blinding the enemy
• Why this battle may be bigger than your life alone

Key Scripture:

2 Kings 6 : 8–23

In today’s episode, I’m walking you through three short but powerful stories from 2 Kings chapters 4 through 6 that reveal something we all need to be reminded of:

Nothing that concerns you is too small for God’s attention.

We’re looking at poison in a pot, not enough food to feed a group of people, and a borrowed axe head that sinks to the bottom of the water. On the surface, these may seem like minor issues. But Scripture shows us again and again that God is deeply involved in the details of our lives... not just the big, life-altering moments.

These are personal miracles. And that’s exactly why they matter.

In this episode, I want to encourage you that God sees what you’re facing, He cares about what concerns you, and He is willing to move on your behalf... even when the situation feels small, frustrating, or inconvenient.
