"'Open the east window,' he said, and he opened it. 'Shoot!' Elisha said, and he shot. 'The Lord’s arrow of victory, the arrow of victory over Aram!' Elisha declared. 'You will completely destroy the Arameans at Aphek.'" ~2 Kings 13:17, NIV
God has a tendency to do incredible things. The King Jehoahaz was serving the Lord, but his enemy was coming to Jerusalem, and previous encounters had not left much of the Israelite army. So the King went to Elijah, who did the above, mostly symbolically.
What he declared, however, was that Jehoahaz would completely dominate his enemies. God's word to those who have faith, believe, and want to serve him is "You will completely destroy your enemies."
God's provision, hope and victory should give you a good sense of whose side you're on.
