“Elisha, a prophet of God told a barren Shunammite woman that she would have a son. “…the woman conceived, and BORE A SON when the appointed time had come, of which Elisha had told her.” (2 Kings 4:17)
When this child was a little older he got sick and died on day, “…the woman called to her husband, and said, “Please send me one of the young men and one of the donkeys, that I may RUN TO ELISHA and come back.” (2 Kings 4:22) On her way to Elisha she was asked about her wellbeing and she responded “IT IS WELL with my soul” When there is a serious problem we need to find a man of God t0 pray for us!
“Now when she came to Elisha, she caught him by the feet, but Gehazi (the servant of Elisha) came near to push her away. But the man of God said, “Let her alone; FOR HER SOUL IS IN DEEP DISTRESS, and the LORD has hidden it from me, and has not told me. So she said, “Did I ask a son of my lord? Did I not say, ‘Do not deceive me’?” (2 Kings 4:27, 28) Don’t give me a son and then TAKE HIM AWAY FROM ME! Elisha went to the woman’s house and raised her son from the dead. ”Ah, Lord GOD! Behold, You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and outstretched arm. There is nothing TOO HARD FOR YOU.” (Jeremiah 32:17)
Jesus said, “With men this is impossible, but with God ALL THINGS are possible.” (Matthew 19:26) “For with God NOTHING will be impossible.” (Luke 1:37)
