Today's Bible verse is 2 KIngs 6:6 from the King James Version.
Episode 131: One day as Elisha was in the town of Shunem, he was taken in by a wealthy woman and her family. He felt at home there and every time he would visit Shunem, he would stop by her house. This happened so often that she and her husband built a room for him on the roof. Elisha asked what he could do to repay the woman for her kindness, but she needed nothing. Instead, noticing she had no children, he prophesied that she would have a son. Soon after the promised child arrived, he died, however, this was not the end of his story and her mother would soon find her joy restored by God’s power.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Let us pray. And the Man of God said, where
fell it? And he showed him the place, and he
cut down a stick and cast it thither, and the
iron did swim. Second King's six six. Thank you, Lord
for your continued faithfulness and favor. As I listened to
(00:23):
the readings in Second Kings, I stand in awe and
adoration as I begin to realize that through the story
of the Widow in Debt, you continually pour out the
oil of anointing as long as there is an empty
vessel ready to receive what you're pouring out. With this truth,
(00:46):
I declare that my life will serve as an empty vessel,
so that you can continually pour out your goodness and
anointing over me and my circumstances like Elisha. I I
declare that your miracles of turning bad situations to good
will follow me. I declare that when my dreams seem
(01:09):
to sink like the axe head, that in your goodness
you will allow it to rise to the top, to
be used for purpose and for building something that brings
you honor. I prophesy over my life right now, that
miracles will be the norm in my life and not
the exception. I know you are good and your name
(01:34):
is all I need to achieve greatness in Jesus's name, Amen.
Listening to these daily prayers strengthens your relationship with God.

In our last story, we learned about the three kings
battling against the Moabite rebellion. God honored Israel solely because
they aligned themselves with Judah, who remained faithful. Now we
will learn about Elisha's relationship with the people of Israel.
His kind and gentle soul ministered to the sheep of
God every day. Elisha experienced a small miracle as he
(02:32):
gave his life to the service of others. Inspired by
the Book of Second Kings.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
Hello, this is Jack Graham with today's episode of the
Bible in a Year podcast. In our previous episode, we
learned how God protected the kings of Judah, Israel, and
Edom against the Moabite rebels. Though Israel's king Joram was
still seeking out foreign gods rather than really turning to
the Lord. Jehasaphat Judas king was righteous and because of
(03:02):
his faithfulness to God, the Lord blessed Israel, Judah and
Edom with a great victory against Moab's army. Today, we'll
dive deeper into the life of Elisha, the great prophet
of God, the man that God had chosen to speak
to Israel in his behalf. Elisha will prove as faithful
in caring for God's people as his mentor Elijah had been,
(03:24):
and he will witness God's unmistakable hand at work each day.
Let's listen now to today's reading.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
The prophet Elisha traveled the land of Israel in search
of God's will. He would walk into towns, care for
those in need, and then depart to the next place.
He walked with integrity and wisdom. He was alert and
attuned to the will of God. He was sensitive to
the still and quiet voice of God, just as Elijah was.
(03:54):
One day, as Elisha was teaching in a small town,
a widow of a prophet came to him. Her face
was weary from many sleepless nights, her eyes were red
from many tears, and her hair was turning gray. Past
the haggard exterior. Elisha could recognize the woman as the
wife of one of his dear friends who had passed away.
(04:15):
She clung to him and began to cry. You knew
my husband, she wept. He served you, but now he
is dead and there is no one to care for me.
A dead collector has come to my home, threatening to
take my two boys as slaves. Elisha's heart broke as
he listened to her cries. The shepherding heart of God
(04:35):
was upon him, and he desired for nothing more than
to see her pain relieved. What can I do for you,
Elisha asked, what do you own to give the collector?
The woman wiped her eyes and said, I have nothing
except a flask of olive oil. Elisha gave her a
reassuring smile. Go and find as many empty jars as
(04:56):
you can. Borrow some from your friends. Go into your
house and shut the door. Pour the oil from your
flask into the jars, set each one aside once it
is filled. Elisha gave her very specific directions. In his heart,
he was excited to see what the Lord was about
to do. She did as she was told. She filled
(05:18):
the jars of olive oil, and her sons continued to
bring more jars to be filled. To her dismay, the
flask of olive oil continued to pour out oil well
beyond its limits. She watched as jar after jar was
filled to the brim with fresh olive oil. Tears streamed
down her face as she watched the lord's faithfulness unfold
(05:39):
before her very eyes. Once every jar she found was
filled with olive oil, she went back to Elisha and
shared with him what had happened. He smiled and said,
now sell the olive oil to pay off your debts.
You should be free after that. So the woman left
with hope in her steps. Some time after Elisha returned
(06:00):
earned to Gilgal. On his travels, he noticed that the
fields of grain were withering away under the intense eastern sun.
A harsh and warm wind blew in from the south
in dust piled up over the crops. Elisha knew that
no good could come of this. Gilgal was experiencing a famine.
Elisha went into the city and was invited to a
(06:22):
meeting of elders. They were seated before him and prepared
a small meal. One of the elders asked the servant
to start a fire and begin a pot of stew.
The servant was quick to please and began immediately chopping
vegetables and tending to the fire. He went out into
the field and gathered more herbs and came back with
(06:42):
a handful of wild gourds. He shredded the gourds and
put them in the stew. Without realizing it, he had
poisoned the stew with blighted gourds. They corrupted the stew,
making it bitter and deadly. With one bite, every elder
recognized the stew was poisoned Man of God. They exclaimed,
(07:03):
there is no way we could eat this. So they
spat the stew out and berated the servant. Elisha, without
using any harsh words, looked at the servant and said,
bring me some flower. So he did. Elisha took the
flower and threw it into the pot. Now it should
be good to eat, he said. So the men ate
it and were unharmed. They all marveled in their minds
(07:26):
at Elisha's mystic powers. However, they knew it was from
God himself. One day, as Elishah was caring for the
needs of the starving people, a man approached him. The
man came with a large basket of loaves. He was
a tall man, stocky, and wore a genuine smile. He
threw the basket down at Elisha's feet and said, here,
(07:47):
I have twenty loaves. Elijah smiled at the gesture and
asked the man to disperse it to the people. There
were over a hundred of them seeking Elisha's care. The
man gave a nervous laugh and said, what how can
I feed a hundred people with twenty small loaves. Elishah
paid no attention to the man's question and simply repeated himself,
(08:09):
go and give it to the people.
Speaker 4 (08:12):
So he did.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
He broke up the loaves and began serving the sick
and hungry. To his dismay, there was plenty of bread
for everyone, with several loaves left over. Elisha continued to
tend to the needs of hurting and hungry people. He
found great purpose and fulfillment in helping those who could
not repay him in any way. As he healed, taught,
and tended to them, he began to feel his heart
(08:35):
grow closer to Gods. One day, a group of prophets
came to him and said, we would like to build
a new place for us to meet. Our current home
is too small. Let us go down to the Jordan River.
There are plenty of logs and trees to be used.
Go on ahead, Elisha said, with a grin. However, the
men insisted Elisha go with them, so he finished up
(08:57):
his work and departed to the river with them. When
they arrived, they began to swipe away at the trees.
They chopped and sawed off all they could see. While
one of them was working, his axe head flew off
his handle and dropped into the bottom of the river. No,
he yelled, that was a borrowed axe. Elishah walked up
to the river. Where did it fall? He asked, still
(09:20):
looking at the rushing water. The man pointed to the place,
so Elishah cut off a stick and threw it into
the water at that spot. Then, like it was a
bobbing apple, the axe floated to the surface of the
water for the man to retrieve. These were the miracles
Elijah dealt with the small and seemingly insignificant problems of
(09:40):
everyday townsfolk. Elishah helped widows with jars of oil, he
helped elders with stew and beggars with bread. He helped
prophets build homes, and he preached to the average people
of Israel Elijhah gave his life to serve those who
could not help themselves. This was the heart of God.
The heart of God, the God was not just for
(10:01):
kings and warriors. The heart of God was for the widow,
the orphan, the hungry, and the sink. The heart of
God was to help people find hope in everyday life.
So Elisha continued to serve as a shepherd over the people,
and God worked through him day by day.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
As we begin today's passage, we see the heart of
Elisha for God's people. He had been called to a
prophetic ministry for sure, speaking God's word to Israel and
to her kings, but he was also called to a
pastoral ministry of caring for God's people. In this passage
we read of four miracles that God performed through Elisha.
(10:45):
The first was for a woman, the widow of a prophet,
who came to Elisha and said she had a debt
she could not repay and feared she would have to
give her sons as slaves to the creditor. Elisha's heart
went out to the woman, and we read in Second
the King's Chapter four, verse two, these words, what shall
I do for you? Tell me? What have you in
(11:07):
the house, And she said, your servant has nothing in
the house except a jar of oil. The widow knew
what she liked. She did not have enough. It was
understandable she had just lost her husband. She was a
widow and now in a desperate state. But Elisha looked
at her with eyes of faith and compassion. So he
told her to gather as many jars as she could
(11:29):
from her home, from her friends and her neighbors. He
then had her and her sons go into their home,
close the doors, and begin pouring oil into the jars.
It probably sounded like a wild and crazy request, but
the woman had faith in the Lord and the Lord's prophet.
To her amazement, the oil poured freely in a steady
stream until every single jar was full. It was a
(11:52):
full on miracle. What started as not enough even for
her was increased by God until she had more and
more than an enough to sell and repay her debt
and live off the rest. What a miracle. Our God
is a god of might and miracles, and we always
don't see physical miracles, but we see the extraordinary provision
(12:14):
of God in our lives, the supernatural provision of God
in our lives each day when we pray and seek him,
God will do the extraordinary through the ordinary in your
life when you give it to Him. The Bible says
that my God shall supply all of your needs according
to His riches in glory in Jesus Christ. That's all
(12:35):
of your needs. And just as God provided for this
widow and her family, God will provide for you. We
also heard how God worked through Elisha to feed one
hundred starving men with just twenty small loaves. Again, God
took what was not enough and made it abundant enough
to provide for the needy. And so we have two
(12:57):
miracles that show us that our God God is the
God of enough, and he can take hour not enough
and make it more than abundant. The two other miracles
weren't about God making a lot out of a little,
but they have something in common with each other. Did
you notice it. In the first, a stew that was
poisoned by the careless addition of the wrong ingredient corrupted
(13:18):
gourds became inedible and deadly in a town where famine
was threatening those living there. Losing food like this was tragic.
But then Elisha took some flour and threw it into
the pot, restoring it miraculously so the elders could eat
it without concern for their safety. And in the second miracle,
an axe had flew off its handle and fell into
(13:40):
the depths of the Jordan. Like the stew It seemed
like it was lost for good, or so everyone thought.
But God once again works miraculously through Elisha, and the
axe had floated on the surface of the water. Yes,
it floated, That was the supernatural work of God. Both
miracles demonstrates that God is able to restore what is lost,
(14:04):
that God is able to do what is needed. That
which is poisoned and bitter can be made right, and
that which is forever lost, seemingly gone forever can be
found and put to use again. Most of all, this
passage shows us that God is blessing his prophet Elisha
even as he promised, and that the miracles and the
(14:24):
spirit of God that was upon him was flowing freely.
The miracles Elisha performed pointed to a day and a
person yet to come. One day God would send Jesus
to provide for our needs, all of them with abundance.
He said, I have come that you might have life
and have it more abundantly. Dear Lord, we thank you
(14:45):
for your miracle working power in our lives, taking ordinary
things and doing extraordinary things. We thank you that what
is lost can be found in you. And when we
seemingly don't have enough, Lord, you are enough. Thank you
for your faithfulness in our lives. In Christ's name, Amen,
