God Sees Our Buried Dreams

Ever have a dream like that, one you hold so near and dear to your heart, that you don’t even speak of it?

I have a few.

We may try to bury them deep, but God sees our hearts and every unfulfilled dream they hold.

God sees you and cares for you….

A Gift Given –

Then Taken Away = Roots Out Real Faith

I can feel her heart fall in her chest as she sees a servant at her door, with her limp son in his arms.

Her grief as she holds him, as his breath leaves his body for the last time.

At this point I would have been screaming out to anyone who would hear me.

You see Her husband had never known that anything had gone wrong.

Wow, I am simply amazed at how this woman held it together.

In faith, she knew that the only One who could restore her son to her, was the One who had given him to her.

Her God Not her, she takes him to the upper room, lays him on the bed and shuts the door.

The woman took her promise that was ‘dead’ and put it in a room where no one would see it and shut the door.

Can you maintain the peace of your house in the middle of a troubling time?

She did.

Her dream was dead before her eyes, but she was able to maintain the peace in her house and brought her troubles and sorrows to the only person who could change the situation.

Can we do the same?

Can we bring our problems directly to God and believe that He is the only one who can change and revive what is dead?

We must not waver in our faith even when we do not see the answer with our eyes.

No matter how bad things look or how negative the report is, you should still rejoice.

Not at what you are going through, but at the fact that the Lord God Almighty is on your side.

She knows where she needs to go.

To the man of God – who reflected the very presence of God.

Verse23

2 Reyes 4:23 Reina Valera Actualizada (RVA-2015)

23 Él preguntó:

—¿Para qué vas a verlo hoy?

No es luna nueva ni sábado.

Hebrew, it is one word, shalom, which means peace,

Y ella respondió:

—Paz.

Hebrew, it is one word, shalom, which means peace,

She was saying all is well .. when we know it wasn’t .

Her only words – “All is Well” she speaks them twice, once to her husband and the second time to Gehazi.

The truth was, all was not well.

This is where she had to dig deep into her faith in the One who had already made the impossible, possible

Focus on your Mission..

We need to be persistent.

A time will come in all our lives when satan will attempt to steal something that God has decided to bless us with.

So the Shunammite woman hurries to see Elijah.

This is about a 30 mile trip and she is on a donkey, which means that this trip took several hours.

I can’t fathom the immense pain she was feeling.

I love this because it shows a mom who will fight, and is on a mission to fight for the life of her child….

We become like a lioness …leona

Hold Tight and Don’t Let Go

She breezes past Gehazi and has her sights on Elisha, the man of God.

She reaches out for Elisha’s heal and a strange thing happens Gehazi tries to push her away.

Why would he?

It was his job, to protect the presence of God that lived within Elisha.

When she reached out, she wasn’t just grabbing a hold of Elishia, she was reaching out and touching the very presence of God.

She had no intention of letting go.

When things are desperate we learn quickly that the only place we can really go to find our answer is the presence of God.

We need to make our way there and hold on.

Tranperancy…

.. we can see here that she has been strong up until now but here she had a breakdown.. how many know that it is okay to show our weakness at times…

“This was your idea in the first place.

You invited me to hope, to dream of having a son, and then this happened.

I told you before you did it not to play games with me, and now I am bitterly disappointed.”

Verse..29

But even more amazing was her next phrase.

In the midst of bitter distress, she said to the man of God, “As surely as the Lord lives and as you live, I will not leave you.”

As devastated as she felt, she continued to trust and hope because she knew regardless of what would occur “It is well.“

I want to end with this …

32-37

… this is powerful here … don’t call a situation dead when God wants to give it life…

God restored her son back to her ….

Why… it all started in the beginning of the this Chapter … you see this women had a relationship with God she was taking care of the presence of God … she knew the presemce of God in verse 9 I want to speak today to all the women … when our soul is good when our walk with God is good we can face any circumstance and we can declare Todo Esta Bien… It doesn’t matter what comes your way …

In the midst of bitter distress, she said to the man of God, “As surely as the Lord lives and as you live, I will not leave you.”

As devastated as she felt, she continued to trust and hope because she knew regardless of what would occur “It is well.“

Proverbs 31:25-30

25 Está vestida de fortaleza y dignidad,

y se ríe sin temor al futuro.

26 Cuando habla, sus palabras son sabias,

y da órdenes con bondad.

27 Está atenta a todo lo que ocurre en su hogar,

y no sufre las consecuencias de la pereza.

28 Sus hijos se levantan y la bendicen.

Su marido la alaba:

29 «Hay muchas mujeres virtuosas y capaces en el mundo,

¡pero tú las superas a todas!».
