Stand to your feet and go to Second Kings, verse 18:27. And I want you to read it when you get home. I'm gonna do that, baby. I want you to read it when you get home. Because there's more text than I have time to talk about, and this text is just phenomenal. You got close to it this morning. I had to pray you over to the other Elisha and not Elijah. I was worried about it for a minute. I don't mind you getting happy, but don't take my sermon. Second Kings, chapter four, verse 18. And when the child was grown, it fell on a day that he went out to his father, to the reapers. And he said unto his father, my head, my head. He said to a lad, carry him to his mother. That's important. Carry him to his mother. And when he had taken him and brought him to his mother, he sat on her knees till noon. Till noon. That's important. And then he died. And she went up and laid him on the bed of the man of God. That's important. And shut the door upon him and went out. And she called unto her husband and said, send me, I pray thee, one of the young men and one of the asses, that I may run to the man of God and come again. Now, donkey, don't move fast. So she must have been kicking them. And he said, wherefore wilt thou go to him today? It is neither new moon nor Sabbath. And she said, it shall be well. I don't have to have a special day, a special time, a special seat. When I got a need. It shall be well, I can come anytime. That's actually a New Testament concept. You can come boldly to the throne of grace. You don't have to wait on a particular day to be able to reach God or a particular person. You don't need me to reach God. You got a phone in your bosom. You can call him up and dial him when you want. So she sat up, ass and said to her servant, drive and go forward. Slack not thy riding for me, except I bid thee she could roll. It's a bad woman. Any bad women in here? This bad woman. Take him to her. Take him to his mama. So she went. So she went. So she went and came unto the man of God to Mount Carmel, the place where the fire had fallen. And it came to pass, when the man of God saw her afar off, that he said to Gehazi, his servant, behold, yonder. I see her coming. Is that Shunammite? Run now, I pray thee. Everybody running. Everybody's running. Run. Run now, I pray thee to meet her and say unto her, is it well with thee? Is it well with thy husband? Is it well with the child? The child, it's only one. And she answered, it is well. Now, we took reading comprehension in school. The boy dead. He's laying in the bed. He died in her arms. And she answered and said, okay, now, most of y' all don't have a dead child. What are you complaining about? If she said, it is well. And when she came to the man of God, to the hill, she caught him by the feet, grabbed him by the feet, got down and got by the feet. I see why he gave the boy to his mama. Cause we'd have been trying to shake hands. She snatched him by his feet. But Gehazi came near to thrust her away. And the man of God said, let her alone, for her soul is vexed within her. Even though her mouth said, it is well. Her soul is vexed within her. Y' all don't hear what I'm saying her soul is vexed within her. You can't go by what she's saying on the outside. She gonna speak power positively. In Hell's Kitchen, she's going to say it is. Well, look at somebody say it as well. But when she got to the man of God who had caused the child to be born in the first place, she let loose what was on the inside. Her soul is vexed within her. And the Lord hath hid it from me and I and have not told me. The prophet didn't even know that the boy was dead. The same prophet that spoke life to the boy didn't know he was dead. My thought today, extrapolated from this text, but applicable to your times. I didn't come just to preach about an old ancient text and scripture or have a theological discussion with you. I didn't come to. To expound upon it just purely from a biblical perspective. I will do that. But what I want you to do is listen for yourself in the text, your time in the text, your direction in the text. And the title God gave me is don't bury your dream. Now, I don't know whether you got that or not, so I'm going to say it one more time. Don't bury your dream. Shake hands with somebody and tell them, don't bury your dream. You may be seated. Because I got a long ways to go in a short time to get there. Let's go to work. Let's go to work. Let's go to work. Let's go to work. What I love about this text, what fascinates me about this text, is not just the part that I read, because if I read all that fascinated me, you'd still be standing. So I had to. I had to put myself on a theological diet and get small portions of the text. But allow me to put in context the surrounding periphery of the text that we're going to explore today. You must realize that there are two women. There is a woman that preceded this woman, that Elijah has come to her house in the midst of a famine and a debt situation. And her debt was so severe that she was down to considering selling her children because the creditors were on her so heavy. And in the Bible days, it was not unusual for you to become an indentured servant to pay off a debt. Come on. See, you must understand that when you consider Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, you start considering Jacob and how long he worked to have Rachel, and you start thinking about Leah and Rachel and Isaac and Abraham, you will see a period of here and there, people who worked off debts, maids, concubines situations. You cannot read this with western eyes, but still, to give you my sons, my two sons, and my husband is dead and live in the house alone because the bills have gotten too much extreme. And Elijah said, you don't have to do that. What is in your house? You mean I've been living around, walking around, something that was in my house that could set me free, but I didn't see it? That's why you have a prophet, because the prophet illuminates what is already there. He the foretells or foretells what's already there. Some of you are praying for something that's already in your house. You just need to learn how to let it flow. So he told her to pour out the oil. And he told the woman who was in debt to get in deeper debt by going out to all her neighbors and borrowing a vessel. I'm already in debt. That's the problem. But he said, yeah, go deeper. He went deeper into that, because what God is going to pour into you, you don't have enough to hold it. And this is a period where she has to live by faith. Let me get out of that. And as long as there was an empty vessel, there was a flow. God didn't stop till they ran out of vessels. Look at somebody say, ooh, he gonna do it, he gonna do it. As long as you got a need, he's gonna have a supply. As long as you open your mouth, he's gonna have bread and fish to feed you. As long as your hands are open and your heart is open, God's gonna keep pouring down into you. He only stands stops when there's nothing left to fill. We're talking capacity here. According to your capacity, so be it unto you. If I had time, I go all through the scriptures and show you. God dropped bread according to the capacity of the house. Some got 10 loaves, some got five loaves. The manna fell according to the need. How much do you need? Oh, y' all don't need nothing. Let me ask him. How much do you need? Uh huh. Let me check. It's got a little bit better. How much do you need? Yeah, yeah, I'm gonna take the balcony. How much do you need? All those in the top. How much do you need? Make some noise. See, because a lot of times we come to church with our lips glued together and duct tape over our mouth and want God to fill us when we are not open to receive the capacity on the level that he has to flow. But the person sitting next to you is open to God, and they go into overflow and they get on your nerves because you think they should be dignified. But they know how to grab Elijah by the feet, shake your nerves and say, oh, I'm going to get this. If I got to crawl and get it. If I have to grab the prophet by his feet, if I have to walk for miles, if I have to get on a donkey, if I have to run up a hill, if I have to slide sideways, I am going to get this. And the thing that's interesting about the text is I see clearly why God would send Elijah to her house. Because she was in trouble, she was in debt. And our Christian theology in this Western world loves to talk about Jesus helping people who had obvious need. We feel good about feeding starving children with flies off all over them. And we like to be philanthropic. We feel good about helping people who have special needs or special problems or are abandoned. We love to see that. But what is an oxymoron in the text is, on one hand you have this broke woman, and the next verse, you have this rich woman. And he walks from one end to the other. This is how wide God is. God is as wide as Jesus stretched his arms. Paul said, I pray in Ephesians that you might know what is the exceeding riches of his glory. God has enough for everything you need. If God has enough, there's nothing wrong with the supply. There may be something wrong with the request, like chat GPT. If you don't have the right prompt, you won't get the right information. If you come to him complaining and fussing and feeling entitled, you won't get the right information. If you come to him and have already decided you're through with it, you won't get the right information. But if you dare to open up before God, God is going to do something amazing for you. Do you hear what I'm saying? The poor woman obeyed the word of God immediately because she was already in debt. She said, I might as well go further. But she sent her sons out to every neighbor's house and they borrowed vessels till there were no more. And God flowed till she ran out. He never ran out. He still had enough oil for the day of Pentecost. He never ran out. He still had enough oil to show up in the dove that left out the window of the ark. He never ran out. He still had enough oil to dress the lamps and the tabernacle and the temple. He never ran out. He still had enough oil to make Jesus The Christ, the anointed one, the Messiah, he never ran out. Over in Acts 10, he still had enough oil left to fill the freshly baptized men with the Holy Ghost. Over in Acts 19, he still had enough power that while Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word. God is never going to run out. I don't care if it's a recession. I don't care what they say about the times. I don't care what they say about the country. The country may run out of money. We may run out of food stamps. We may run out of whatever you thought you had to have to get along. But God will never run out. He will never run out. He will never, never, never run out. He will never run out. He will never, ever run out. He's got jobs.

He's got good jobs. He's got ways. He got businesses. He got companies. You mentioned book deals. He got book deals. You hear her talking about her first book deal. God's got all kind of stuff if you got capacity. But that's not what I'm preaching about. I'm not supposed to be talking about the broke woman. I'm supposed to be talking about the rich woman. Because the problem with the rich woman is that the rich woman, watch this close. The rich woman is broke in a place you can't see. She has no money problems. She has no marital problems. She got money and a man. She's good. She's got a mansion. She's got a house. She's set. She's not needing anything at all. She is so set that she had them build a room on the house so that whenever Elijah stopped by, I don't know how many times he stopped by, but whenever you stop by, you're gonna have not just a guest room, you will have a new room. And I'm going to dress it out for you. And it's going to be your room. It's going to be your dresser. It's going to be your bed. It's going to be your chair. Exclusively. I don't want nobody to bother this but Elijah. She was a giving woman. She was a woman of abundance. She have a giving spirit. There are some folks in here that have a giving spirit. They have a giving spirit. Spirit. I don't mean just in church, anywhere. They have a giving spirit. They will help. They will sow. Sometimes they wish they didn't have it, but they have a giving spirit. Sometimes people take advantage of them, but they have a giving spirit. When they come in your house. They didn't come to take, they came to give. They will wash your dishes, they will run the vacuum cleaner any way they can help. They are a liberal soul and the Bible said the liberal soul shall be made fat. This woman is a liberal soul and she shall be made fat. Elijah did not ask her for a room. She just thought of it. She just thought of. She just sitting up. Her thinking of ways she. She can be a blessing instead of thinking evil. I know some folks that sit back here thinking evil, but there's also some folks that's thinking about sitting back thinking good all the time, always thinking about something. You. You don't know how it's going to happen. You may not build it yourself, but you can think of it. And it's all in your mind. It's all in your head. And in fact you've gotten quiet and stopped talking to people because people think think you're crazy because your thoughts are so high that it don't make sense. It don't make sense. It has no rhyme or reason. To build a permanent room for a temporary guest is crazy. But she thinks like that. If you one of those people say, I just think like that. That's why I don't talk to everybody. Because they can't handle me. Not the way I think. I just smile at you and nod my head because I'm thinking on another level. I'm thinking beyond my resources. I'm thinking beyond my paycheck. I'm thinking beyond my house. I'm thinking beyond my situation.
- [21:00]
Pastor
I just think like that.
- [21:03]
Assistant or Co-preacher
This woman has everything except a child. And she is just as poor in her way as the other woman was poor in her finances. The reason poor people don't like rich people is that when you are broke, you think if you had money you'd have everything. But poverty doesn't escape anybody. You can have money and still have misery. You can have money and still be super suicidal. You can have fame and go crazy. You can have fame and be strung out on drugs. You can be the CEO and be flipping out and driving. Want to drive your car over a hill or drive your plane into a mountainside? Stop envying what God gave somebody else because you might not could handle what God gave somebody else every. The truth of the matter is when I asked about need, everybody in here should have jumped up because everybody in here needs something. It's just that some people's poverty is obvious and some people's poverty is hidden. But you still. One woman had an empty cupboard and the Other woman had an empty womb. But empty is just empty, any way you cut it. And Elijah walks from one house over to the other house because he's God of this situation, and he's God of this situation over here. He's God in America, and he's God in Australia. He's God in Israel, and he's God in Japan. He's God in Russia, and he's God in Hong Kong. He's God in Japan, Jamaica. He's God in the Congo. He's God in Europe. He's God in France. He's God in Ukraine, and he's God in Russia. God will work anywhere at any time. You don't have to have on a special dress. I don't need to sell you no handkerchief. You don't need a rag. You don't need a handkerchief. You don't even need a bottle of oil. All you got to do is have a body of oil. And if you are filled with oil, the bottle may run out. But you will never run out. If you got the Holy Ghost, baby, you got the Holy Ghost. You don't need no top for the bottle. It'll never close. It's everywhere.

Assistant or Co-preacher
This woman is so rich, broke. She's so good at giving what she has and maybe a little proud that she doesn't want to admit what she doesn't have. So Elijah says, how can I bless her? Because her gift made room for her. It's not like she came to him and said, I want to have a baby. I'm in trouble. I'm in a sick. She's not like Hannah. She wasn't even bringing it up. Gehazi says she goes without a child. Elijah says to. He goes to the woman and says, by this time next year, somebody that got some faith in here look at somebody and say, by this time next year, you won't even recognize me. You won't even understand what's going on. You won't even realize about this time. The enemies that you see today, you shall see them no more. By this time next year. By this time, God is going to.
- [25:17]
Pastor
Turn it around shut. Yes, somebody.
- [25:23]
Assistant or Co-preacher
Oh, I feel something. I better hold my mule because I feel a stirring in the Holy Ghost. Something is about to happen in this room. I don't know if some dreamers in this room. Somebody's got a dream in this room and say, by this time next year. I know you don't know how. I know you don't know who. I know it doesn't make any sense. I know you tried before and failed.
- [25:54]
Pastor
I know you went to the specialist.
- [25:57]
Assistant or Co-preacher
I know you've been examined. And it's impossible still by this time next year. And you know what she says to him? She's not open like the poor woman. She's closed. Because there's something about having more that makes it easier to be closed. See, obvious poverty is. Is desperate and obvious you ain't got nothing to lose. But when you rich, poor, you, you, you, you, you, you got a certain image to hold up in order to be accepted in the clique. You can't walk in like you need nothing, like you want nothing. You can't even walk in like you unhappy. You can't flip out on people like you would want to. You have to be poor to really flip out on somebody good. I mean, that neck popping, head turning. I wish if you come up in here, you got the right one. You gonna learn today. See, you don't hear rich people say, you gonna learn today. You gotta be a little bit to say, you gonna learn today. So the woman has to climb over her status. And because she wants the child so bad, she said, don't play with me. Don't get me excited about something that God is not gonna do. She said, don't bring up this thing about this child. I finally put it to bed. I finally learned how to live without it. And don't get me craving it again, because wanting hurts. Y' all don't hear me? Wanting hurts. I'm gonna get myself in trouble. There are some women in here that generally just actually don't want a man. But there are some men, there are some women in here that your circumstances, you had to learn not to want because wanting hurts and sometimes hurt left you in a state that you don't even want to try no more. You're not sliding left. You're not swiping to the left. You're not swiping to the right. You sick of all of them. You don't trust any of them. And you, you don't want nobody to stop stir you up. I don't care how cute they are. I don't care what they driving. I don't care what they look like. You have been hurt. It hurts so bad. It hurts. Is there anybody knows what it is to be brokenhearted? And your spirit is broken, and you don't even want to try no more. There's some married folks in here. You've given up. You've been through counseling, you've been through therapy. You don't want to go no more because you're tired of hurting for hoping for something that doesn't happen. Hope deferred, the Bible said, makes the heart sick. When you wait long enough and you still don't get it. When you acquiesce long enough, when you apologize over and over again and nothing is ever enough. After a while, you shut up. And silence is a dangerous thing. This woman has shut up about having a child. Her silence is indicative not of her contentment, but she had settled. This door is closed. I got news for you. God's getting ready to open some doors that you close, that you shut down, that you're afraid to believe him for, that you're afraid to get excited. Excited about. But God is about to do something so strong that it's going to challenge your emotional flexibility because you don't even want to think about it no more. Because it hurts to think about it. But God said, by this time next year, the thing that you thought could never happen is going to happen in your life. Turn around and find somebody and say, just wait till next year. I'm gonna need a bassinet. I'm gonna need a carriage. I'm gonna need a baby bottle. I'm gonna need some onesies. I'm gonna need a blanket. Just wait till next year. I'm gonna need a carriage. I'm gonna need a car seat. By this time next year, I'm gonna be driving that Bentley. By this time next year, I'm gonna own my own business. By this time next next year, I'm going to be a best selling author. By this time next year, God is going to open up my TV show. By this time next year, I'm going to have a chain of restaurants. By this time next year, God is going to do something so amazing in my life that I won't have time to do what I used to do by this time next year. And it came to pass. Help me preach. Look at somebody say. And it came to pass. It wasn't like it was just prophesied and she shouted and she didn't get nothing. It came to pass. It came to pass. It came to pass without them having to do anything that they hadn't been doing already. And it still came to pass. This time it's to gonna work. You did it before, you did it on Monday, you did it on Wednesday night. You know, you had your Friday night, you did your Friday night just like you always did and it didn't work. But this time it's gonna work for you. You're gonna do the same thing and get a different result because God is about to blow your mind. Somebody shout, yes, I feel. I feel something coming in the room. I feel something about to break loose in this room. Can I preach this thing today? Can I preach this thing today?

The Bible says.

Assistant or Co-preacher
That her belly was full of baby, her womb was full of child. And she. The child comes out of her body. And I'm saying this for a reason. And is detached from. From the umbilical cord. And he ends up working for his father as an adult. And while he's working for Daddy, it sounds like he has an aneurysm. He says, my head, my head. And Daddy carries him back to the womb he shot. Because it ain't nothing like carrying something back to the one that birthed it. There's something about when you birth something. I remember one time your nose was bleeding, and I couldn't stop it from bleeding. And I was doing everything I could think of trying to get it to stop bleeding. But when I called for your mama, your mama turned into Dr. Marcus Welby.

She laid him on the bed, no doubt said I'll be back, baby. He couldn't hear her. He was dead. Told the servants. She had servants settle up their ass and slack not thy bidding save. I tell you. She didn't have time to explain it. She didn't make no excuse. You gotta have somebody who can follow orders. Counseling is all right. You gotta counsel sometime. But sometimes you just got to do what I said. Cause I don't have time to explain to you. And I don't know how it's gonna turn out. But I know that so much is at stake that I can't afford to lose this battle. I need you to drive a donkey fast. Try that. Try entering a donkey into a speedway race. How do you get a donkey to move fast? When you get in enough trouble, you'll make a slow thing move. When you get in enough trouble, you'll make somebody who's slow and always late. Come on, time. The reason you're always late, you're not in enough trouble. If something hurts you bad enough, you'll be here waiting on the church to open up. When you get in trouble, you won't have to wake up.

That means God has set divine order back in this place. The flesh of the boy. Wax warm. You can feel that. But the sneezing, you can hear that. It's a noise. It's a sound of completion. Somebody make a sound of completion.
