Elisha replied, “Hear the word of the Lord! This is what the Lord says, ‘About this time tomorrow a seah of finely milled flour will sell for a shekel and two seahs of barley for a shekel at the gate of Samaria.’” An officer who was the king’s right-hand man responded to the prophet, “Look, even if the Lord made it rain by opening holes in the sky, could this happen so soon?” Elisha said, “Look, you will see it happen with your own eyes, but you will not eat any of the food!” ‭‭2 Kings‬ ‭7‬:‭1‬-‭2‬ ‭(NET‬‬) Do not be distracted by what you see or how you may feel. I am with you in your journey. I am still performing miracles. I am still reaching out to those who know me and I know them. Go forward with the plan set for you.

Surely I am looking to you, O sovereign Lord. In you I take shelter. Do not expose me to danger! Protect me from the snare they have laid for me, and the traps the evildoers have set. Let the wicked fall into their own nets, while I escape. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭141‬:‭8‬-‭10‬ (‭NET‬‬) Be strong. Stand in my shadow of safety. I will guide you in the way created for you. Walk straight and patiently. Let your life reflect my Word.

The men of the city said to Elisha, “Look, the city has a good location, as our master can see. But the water is bad and the land doesn’t produce crops.” Elisha said, “Get me a new jar and put some salt in it.” So they got it. He went out to the spring and threw the salt in. Then he said, “This is what the Lord says, ‘I have purified this water. It will no longer cause death or fail to produce crops.” The water has been pure to this very day, just as Elisha prophesied. ‭‭2 Kings‬ ‭2‬:‭19‬-‭22‬ ‭(NET‬‬) Sometimes I repeat your lessons so you might learn the way I have for you. My love is never-ending. My way never fails. Allow my healing direction to bring you to completion. Learn my way and how to walk with the authority I have given you.

When Jesus came to the ruler’s house and saw the musicians and the mourners making a noise, He said to them, “Depart. The girl is not dead, but is sleeping.” And they laughed Him to scorn. But when the people were put outside, He went in and took her by the hand, and the girl arose. The news of this went out into all that land. ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭9‬:‭23‬-‭26‬ ‭(MEV‬‬) Come and sit with me. Be beneath the shadow of safety which I can provide. Leave your fears and anxieties upon the altar. Allow them to be burned away in my light. I am your provider. Listen for my guiding. It is life. Within it is my son. He has paid the price of sins. Come  closer and be with me. See what I may be for you.

Elijah took his mantle and folded it together and struck the waters, and they were divided here and there, so that the two of them crossed over on dry ground. When they had crossed over, Elijah said to Elisha, “Ask what I shall do for you before I am taken from you.” And Elisha said, “Please, let a double portion of your spirit be upon me.” He said, “You have asked a hard thing. Nevertheless, if you see me when I am taken from you, it shall be so for you; but if not, it shall not be so.” As they were going along and talking, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire and horses of fire which separated the two of them. And Elijah went up by a whirlwind to heaven. Elisha saw it and cried out, “My father, my father, the chariots of Israel and its horsemen!” And he saw Elijah no more. Then he took hold of his own clothes and tore them in two pieces. He also took up the mantle of Elijah that fell from him and returned and stood by the bank of the Jordan. He took the mantle of Elijah that fell...

As Jesus went on from there, he saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax booth. “Follow me,” he said to him. And he got up and followed him. As Jesus was having a meal in Matthew’s house, many tax collectors and sinners came and ate with Jesus and his disciples. ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭9‬:‭9‬-‭10‬ ‭(NET) Feed upon my word. It is truth. It will point you in the way to be going. Allow my light to shine upon you. You will follow my example and become whom I already see.

When Jesus saw their reaction he said, “Why do you respond with evil in your hearts? Which is easier, to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven’ or to say, ‘Stand up and walk’? But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins” - then he said to the paralytic – “Stand up, take your stretcher, and go home.” And he stood up and went home. ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭9‬:‭4‬-‭7‬ ‭(NET) You are sent forth as my representative. Heal the sick, raise the dead. Teach truth in the love I share with you. Let my light shine. Allow them to see me. Walk in the pathway set before you.
