Please join with us sharing God’s Word daily. We will spend about
fifteen minutes a day praying and reading every word in God’s Word in
approximately three years.
“10 But he knows the way that I take; when he has tried
me, I shall come out as gold. 11 My foot has
held fast to his steps; I have kept his way and have not turned aside.” Job 23:10-11, English Standard Version (ESV)
Dear
Saints,
Today we prayerfully read our
Feast in 2 Kings, Chapter 43; “Elisha multiplies the widow's oil. (1-7) The
Shunammite obtains a son. (8-17) The Shunammite's son restored to life. (18-37) The miracle of healing the pottage, and of
feeding the sons of the prophets. (38-44)” - Matthew
Henry Concise.
Today we are prayerfully
reading, 2 Kings 4. In this
chapter we see faith in God working in several instances. None of them are
simple or small just acts of faith working for the faithful. I
really want this kind of faith! Where does it come from? Let’s
look at the last example in this chapter; “42 A man came from
Baal-shalishah, bringing the man of God bread of the firstfruits, twenty
loaves of barley and fresh ears of grain in his sack. And Elisha said, “Give
to the men that they may eat.” 43 But his servant said, “How can I
set this before a hundred men?” So he repeated, “Give them to the men, that
they may eat, for thus says the Lord, ‘They shall eat and have some left.’” 44
So he set it before them. And they ate and had some left, according to the
word of the Lord.” 2
Kings 4:42-44, ESV. What kind of faith is at work when a
man with twenty loaves of barley and fresh ears of grain, has to feed a
hundred men with leftovers? It is the faith of the servant with
the bread and Elisha the prophet of God. Does this mean if they wished
really hard together that God would fulfill the word of the prophet? No,
Elisha believes God because he saw God showing miracles through Elijah and
himself in the past. Elisha simply believed God because he had
seen God coming through in every circumstance. He has never heard
of God failing to be true to His Word. Does the man with the bread have some
kind of super faith that the 20 loaves of barley should feed 100 men with
leftovers? No he simply heard that God’s words to Elisha’s are
true. All right so what do I have to do to have this kind of faith
in God? The truth comes in hearing and knowing whom you are
hearing from. “16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who
has believed what he has heard from us?” 17 So faith comes from
hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.” Romans
10:15-17, ESV. Just hearing is only the first step, it is
necessary that we hear from the Word of God. In doing so we
believe that the bible we are reading is the true Word of God. This
is what the Feast is about, hearing every word of God. Believing
that God’s words are true, sharing the gospel and keeping the first thing
first. That is salvation through the blood of our Lord Jesus. It
starts with Jesus giving you, the Saints his Word and you reading and
believing God’s word. That is where true faith is going to come
from. When you receive this faith you will let your light shine as
a testament to God’s love. If the lord is willing I will post and
send the Feast again tomorrow.

Don’t get caught up in
“religion”, it is about a relationship. Our salvation depends completely on
God! We are the Saints that Jesus sacrificed his life to pay in full for our
sin, when we repent and accept Jesus. He will come to get every Saint; “36 “But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the
angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only.” Matthew
24:36,
ESV. We are building our relationship with Jesus right now; do not wait while
you try to change anything. Click this
