Having experienced deliverance in his own life, Elisha becomes a teacher of others. "One said" to Elisha, "Be content, I pray thee, and go with thy servants." This man is getting on the right track. He wants deliverance, but he also wants company. Like this man we want to take the Lord with us. We may try to get deliverance our own way, but we want to take the Lord with us. However, he is gaining ground; he is getting a little closer to the position he should be in because he is bringing the Lord into it. Elisha answers, "I will go," and goes "with them."
Notice the change in persons. First it was a company, then it is "one said," and finally, "he went with them." Deliverance must be understood individually. It is not an assembly matter. Deliverance is an individual experience in the presence of God in which we discover the end of ourselves and bring in death on everything. Then we have complete practical deliverance. Because the new man is waiting to act the moment we declare death to the old, the full provision of rest is there for us to enjoy the moment we declare ourselves dead (Col. 3:33For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. (Colossians 3:3)).
