Satan and the Seed

 Matt. 13:3-4, 18-19. Jesus says the kingdom comes by hearing and can  revolutionize our life. It’s a soul transformation!!!  If you are broken, you can not fix you, you need to allow God to fix you. We need to grab what is being said. The seed comes quietly and gently.

Be the best hearer!! Listen, hear, and pay attention to God’s word. We need soft and open hearts.  We need to be guarded against taking sermons for granted.. Really, what is the state of our heart, when the seeds are sown in us? Don’t become desensitized and trample on the Word of God!!!!

Junk Food for the soul

 2Kings 4:5  She received the word of God, because she had room in her heart to receive it. She was open to miracles!!!

Unbelief needs to leave.  When the word comes we have no room to receive it. Because we don’t believe.

The church people are not running to the church and to God.   They are filled with their own ways.

Sin will harden our hearts. The word challenges us to do right. And as we believe in our heart, God can do miracles!!!!

Answers That Make No Sense.

 2Kings 4:1-7  This woman was at the end of herself and had no answers. She needed God. Being obedient to Him to go to others, empty. Then God could fill her.

Often in life, we need answers from God!!  But we can miss God because his answers make no sense.

1. A lot of people today want spirituality on their terms. We need to die to our selves to be filled by God.  Which is the key to abundant life.  Being a part of a body with accountability. We need each other.

2.  By our willingness to adapt our wills to the will of God, whether we understand.  We grow step by step.

Be not full of yourself. If you have enough emptiness, God can move and fill.

The Power of a Right Spirit.

 Psalm 51:10  A clean spirit is loyal, right, steadfast, established, securely determined 

and a directed spirit. We need to give room to God in our lives. We gain much more than we give.

An act of kindness with the right spirit changes the world!! God is the creative one!!! 

Allow God to tap into you to make more room for him!!!!!

Spiritual pain - When the pain is more than I can bear!!

11 Kings 4:1-4  The woman brought her burden to God!!!

Job 1:20-21 Job humbly brought his needs to God!

Maternal pain,  Financial pain, Spiritual pain, and Physical pain. They trouble our spirits!

Receiving Rhema, The living word of God to our souls. God is personal and it fits the occasion, gives wisdom. 

God’s spirit touches us and inspires us. Divine inspiration!!!! We need to pour our lives into others and serve God.

Making Room - The Cost of Visitation

 11Kings 4:8-10.   She had persuaded Elisha to have a meal with her. She believed him to be a Holy and Godly man. He came to Shunem on a regular basis. She wanted to make a room for him. Then he would always have a place to rest. 

1. Willing to take the initiative, no strings attached out of love.

2. We can’t make God move in our lives, but we can make room for him to move.

Do right and hope God will show up.  Give God room and he can do so much more!!!!!

“A Mother’s Crisis”

 11Kings 4:1-7  She was not left to her own resources.

1. A Mother’s strength.  A crisis will always reveal us.  Need to watch our spirit, when the pain breaks us.

She protected her heart. Did not become bitter.

2. How do mothers make it through it all?  They run to God!!!! Need to go to the place where God can speak to you.

3. God has a plan and a way out. You need to hear from the spirit of God. God can step in and multiply the rest of our life!!
