Learning through experience definitely makes an impression. We can all learn from hard knocks, but it’s a lot less painful to learn by example. First Corinthians 10:6 and 11 say that the experiences of those in the Bible were recorded for our examples. Elijah’s story is full of great examples, both good and bad. 00:06 Andrew continues his series on Lessons from Elijah. 01:54 1 Kings 17:8-9 “And the word of the Lord came unto him, saying, Arise, get thee to Zarephath, which belongeth to Zidon, and dwell there: behold, I have commanded a widow there to sustain thee.” 02:46 God had spoken to her, and this woman was responding to God. She was looking for some miraculous way out of this situation she was in. 04:19 In the natural, this was her last little bit of food on this planet, but God had spoken to her that she was going to provide food for somebody else. If she was going to sustain them, that meant that she had to be sustained. She was believing God for a miracle. 05:23 There was a place called “there” for this woman. It wasn’t sitting at home being depressed and discouraged. It wasn’t in her prayer closet just praying and begging God. Her place called “there” was to get up, go out and get some sticks, make a fire, prepare this food, and act like it’s not your last day. 07:05 There is a place to pray, but it is not griping and complaining. There is a time to get up and act like you believe that God is going to supply your needs. 07:55 We need to do something. There are some of you who are praying and asking God for a miracle, but what are you doing? This woman wasn’t just praying, she was out doing something. 09:56 I don’t believe that she was just saying that we are going to eat it and die (1 Kings 17:12). She was just stating what was in the natural, but God had commanded her to sustain someone. 11:13 Luke 6:38 “Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom.” 11:38 Elijah was not taking from this woman, he was giving to this woman. 12:44 When you are giving into the gospel, that money is not leaving your life. It’s just entering into your future where it grows, it multiplies, and it comes back to you. It is contrary to what natural reasoning thinks. 14:20 Andrew tells story of woman working in mental institution who wanted a new job and new place to live. He had her give him all the money she had left in her purse so she would be blessed (he gave the money to the church). 16:21 Continuing the story: the woman gave her money on Sunday at church. On Monday, she was giving a car. On Wednesday, she had her relationship restored with her mother and a new place to live. By Friday she was giving a new job that gave her twice as much money as she was getting. 18:49 When you give, it opens up a door to you. 21:48 You need to trust God. You need to take a portion of what you’ve got, and you need to sow. 22:46 If you would give, you won’t be less because of it. God will multiply it, sustain you, and things will work better when you start giving & links to next video. ============================================ Andrew Wommack Ministries http://www.awmi.net/ https://www.facebook.com/AWMinistries https://twitter.com/andrewwommack https://instagram.com/andrewwommack/ https://www.pinterest.com/andrewwommack/ ====================================================== https://youtu.be/_pL5eAQ2MLk
