2 Kings 4:1-7
New King James Version (NKJV)
Elisha and the Widow’s Oil
1 A certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets cried out to Elisha, saying, “Your servant my husband is dead, and you know that your servant feared the LORD. And the creditor is coming to take my two sons to be his slaves.”2 So Elisha said to her, “What shall I do for you? Tell me, what do you have in the house?” And she said, “Your maidservant has nothing in the house but a jar of oil.”
3 Then he said, “Go, borrow vessels from everywhere, from all your neighbors—empty vessels; do not gather just a few. 4 And when you have come in, you shall shut the door behind you and your sons; then pour it into all those vessels, and set aside the full ones.”
5 So she went from him and shut the door behind her and her sons, who brought the vessels to her; and she poured it out. 6 Now it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said to her son, “Bring me another vessel.”
And he said to her, “There is not another vessel.” So the oil ceased. 7 Then she came and told the man of God. And he said, “Go, sell the oil and pay your debt; and you and your sons live on the rest.”
Mary asked how was she going to get pregnant. The angels said by the power invested in her:
Luke 1:26-35
New King James Version (NKJV)
Christ’s Birth Announced to Mary
26 Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, 27 to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin’s name was Mary. 28 And having come in, the angel said to her, “Rejoice, highly favored one, the Lord is with you; blessed are you among women!”29 But when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and considered what manner of greeting this was. 30 Then the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. 31 And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son, and shall call His name JESUS. 32 He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David. 33 And He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom there will be no end.”
34 Then Mary said to the angel, “How can this be, since I do not know a man?”
35 And the angel answered and said to her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you; therefore, also, that Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of God.
We think we have to do certain things to be blessed. Always be aware of the anointing level on your life. There's a power in you if you just tap into you. You need to be the best you can be because there is no other like you.
1 John 4:4
New King James Version (NKJV)
4 You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.
In 2 Kings 4:1-7 we see that a prophet was anointed but left his son and wife and debt. Just because you are anointed does not mean you know how to handle finances. They were left in a dilemma. She's in a tough situation and doesn't know what to do. He asked asked her what does she have. All you need is a little bit. You need to check your house and see what you have inside of you. You have what you need to get out of debt if you have confidence. What you have is going to bring you out.
There will come a time when you can't run to the preacher, the prophet, or your grandmother. Analyze what you have inside of you for yourself. When you rest in what God has called you to do is when the blessings will come. What do you have in your own house?
2 Kings 4:3
3 Then he said, “Go, borrow vessels from everywhere, from all your neighbors—empty vessels; do not gather just a few.
She is already in debt and now she's being asked to get into more debt. Every now and then you have to do something crazy. Your are in that rut because you haven't started that thing God told you to do. You have to do what other's wont' do. She was asked to borrow from her neighbor. You don't need just Jesus but others as well.

1 Corinthians 6:19
New King James Version (NKJV)
19 Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own?
If you just tap into into it:
9 But as it is written:
“ Eye has not seen, nor ear heard,
Nor have entered into the heart of man
The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.”
If you just tap into into it:

Deuteronomy 32:30
New King James Version (NKJV)
30 How could one chase a thousand,
And two put ten thousand to flight,
Unless their Rock had sold them,
And the LORD had surrendered them?
If we can just squash our issues and get along with others. The Bible says:
3 Can two walk together, unless they are agreed?
And two put ten thousand to flight,
Unless their Rock had sold them,
And the LORD had surrendered them?
If we can just squash our issues and get along with others. The Bible says:
Amos 3:3
New King James Version (NKJV)
Don't look down on others. You don't know how God can flip things.
2 Kings 4:4-5
4
And when you have come in, you shall shut the door behind you and your
sons; then pour it into all those vessels, and set aside the full ones.”
5 So she went from him and shut the door behind her and her sons, who brought the vessels to her; and she poured it out.
5 So she went from him and shut the door behind her and her sons, who brought the vessels to her; and she poured it out.
She had a little oil. and it multiplied after she obeyed. The miracle didn't come until she did something crazy. A miracle goes against all natural laws. You have to break a few laws. Only she and her son were allowed. Some people can't come with you to the next level. People may love you now because you are broke but watch what happens when God blesses you. God will remove people who are sucking you dry.
2 Kings 4:6
6 Now it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said to her son, “Bring me another vessel.”
This next miracle that God does isn't going anywhere. It seems like God blessed you before but it didn't stay.
2 Kings 4:7
7 Then she came and told the man of God. And he said, “Go, sell the oil and pay your debt; and you and your sons live on the rest.”
The miracle came and she was able to pay off her debt and had left overs to take care of her and her children. It's time for you to get ready for the overflow. This is a sustaining miracle.
