  1. The Miracles of Elisha (Part 1)2 Kings 2: 7-11

  2. 2 Kings 2:7-14 The Message (MSG)7 Meanwhile, fifty men from the guild of prophets gathered some distance away while the two of them stood at the Jordan.8 Elijah took his cloak, rolled it up, and hit the water with it. The river divided and the two men walked through on dry land.

  3. 2 Kings 2:7-14 The Message (MSG)9 When they reached the other side, Elijah said to Elisha, “What can I do for you before I’m taken from you? Ask anything.”Elisha said, “Your life repeated in my life. I want to be a holy man just like you.”10 “That’s a hard one!” said Elijah. “But if you’re watching when I’m taken from you, you’ll get what you’ve asked for. But only if you’re watching.”

  4. 2 Kings 2:7-14 The Message (MSG)11-14 And so it happened. They were walking along and talking. Suddenly a chariot and horses of fire came between them and Elijah went up in a whirlwind to heaven. Elisha saw it all and shouted, “My father, my father! You—the chariot and cavalry of Israel!” When he could no longer see anything, he grabbed his robe and ripped it to pieces. Then he picked up Elijah’s cloak that had fallen from him, returned to the shore of the Jordan, and stood there. He took Elijah’s cloak—all that was left of Elijah!—and hit the river with it, saying, “Now where is the God of Elijah? Where is he?”When he struck the water, the river divided and Elisha walked through.

  5. I. God Can Dry Up Your River of Problems

  6. II. God Can Remove The Curse of Sin

  7. 2 Kings 2:19-22 The Message (MSG)19 One day the men of the city said to Elisha, “You can see for yourself, master, how well our city is located. But the water is polluted and nothing grows.”20 He said, “Bring me a brand-new bowl and put some salt in it.” They brought it to him.21-22 He then went to the spring, sprinkled the salt into it, and proclaimed, “God’s word: I’ve healed this water. It will no longer kill you or poison your land.” And sure enough, the water was healed—and remains so to this day, just as Elisha said.

  8. III. God Sometimes Uses Bears To Perform Miracles

  9. 2 Kings 2:23-25 The Message (MSG)23 Another time, Elisha was on his way to Bethel and some little kids came out from the town and taunted him, “What’s up, old baldhead! Out of our way, skinhead!”24 Elisha turned, took one look at them, and cursed them in the name of God. Two bears charged out of the underbrush and knocked them about, ripping them limb from limb—forty-two children in all!25 Elisha went on to Mount Carmel, and then returned to Samaria.

  10. IV. Miracles In The Desert

  11. V. The Miracle Of Oil

  12. 2 Kings 4:1 The Message (MSG)4 One day the wife of a man from the guild of prophets called out to Elisha, “Your servant my husband is dead. You well know what a good man he was, devoted to God. And now the man to whom he was in debt is on his way to collect by taking my two children as slaves.”
