Attack Your Lack - Oral Roberts

Attack Your Lack
Knowledge of the prophet Elisha promising
deliverance in 24 hours. They didn't even have
the hope of his prophecy in their hearts. All they
knew was that if they did not attack their lack at
that very hour, they would die.
What did they know?
They knew they—as four men, all lepers—
were no match for the 100,000 fighting men of
the enemy army. They also knew twilight was not
a good time to march. The brief time between
sundown and dark made it hard to see where
they were going.
Even facing all these negatives, they knew
they must attack their lack! So they took a step of
faith. By the sheer force of their will and their
faith, they went from a step of faith into a march
of faith.
Had you seen them as the sun was going
down leave their so-called "safe" place at the gate
of the city and go stumbling in their hunger and
disease toward the enemy, it would have been
hard to believe theirs was a march of faith
through which they were attacking their lack.
"Look at those crazy guys! They're going to get
themselves killed."
They were hurting, but they attacked.
They were scared to death, but they attacked.
