Study Notes for Supernatural Provision in the Old Testament—Part 2
A. 1 Kings 19:4-8—Supernatural Sustenance
(Food Sustained
Elijah
for 40 Days)
1. “The natural is limited
to natural ways, but the supernatural is unlimited in supernatural ways.” —Gloria
Copeland
2. This kind of provision is available to all believers—especially when the situation, job market, paycheck, economy and others are saying, “There’s no way to meet this need. It is humanly impossible.”
3. “The stones hereabout
might be heated by a supernatural power and the cake baked
on them by an angel.” —John Gill’s
Exposition of the Old Testament, Volume 2
4. Verse 8: “And he arose, and did eat and drink, and went in the strength of that meat
forty days and forty nights unto Horeb the mount of God.”
5. “All this while he had no other sustenance
than what he had taken under the juniper tree, from whence he set out, which must be supernatural; for it is said a man cannot live without
food beyond seven days, for food either staying in his stomach all this while, or however the nutritive
virtue of it, by
which he was supported and held out till he came to Horeb.” —John Gill’s Exposition
of the Old Testament, Volume 2
B. 2 Kings 4:1-7—Supernatural Debt Cancellation (Widow Avoids Bankruptcy)
1. Verse 2: Elisha asked,
“What do you have? Give me a seed to work with.”
2. Verses 3-6:
“Borrow as many pots as you can, pour into them until they are full and then pour into the next one.” The oil stopped
pouring when they ran out of pots.
3. Verse 7: She made enough money selling
the oil that she paid
the creditor, saved her children and lived the rest of her life off the remaining
oil sale.
1. Verse 42: He brought his tithe to the man of God to bless.
2. Verse 43 (NLT): “‘What?’ his servant exclaimed.
‘Feed a hundred people with only this?’ But Elisha repeated, ‘Give it to the people so they can eat, for this is what the Lord says: Everyone will eat, and there will even be some left over!’”
3. Verse 44 (NLT): “And when they gave it
to
the people, there was plenty for all and some left over, just as the Lord had promised.”
D. 2 Kings 7:1-2—Supernatural Acceleration (Tomorrow at This Time)
1. Verse 1: “To morrow about this time”—24
hours from now.
2. Verse 2 (NLT): “The officer
assisting the king said to the man of God, ‘That couldn’t happen even if the Lord opened the windows of heaven!’ But Elisha replied,
‘You will see it
happen with your own eyes, but you won’t be able to eat any of it!’”
a. What keeps us from the supernatural?
i. Time—don’t put what God has done off into the future.
ii. Unbelief—the supernatural only operates by faith.
3. Verse 18—The famine was over 24 hours later.
a. There was plenty for all.
b. It was cheap.
E. Job 42:12-17—Supernatural Restoration (Job’s Life Turned Around)
1. MSG: “God blessed Job’s later life even more than his earlier life. He ended up with fourteen
thousand sheep, six thousand camels, one thousand
teams of oxen, and one thousand donkeys.”
2. MSG: “He also
had seven sons and three daughters. He named the first daughter
Dove, the second, Cinnamon, and the third,
Darkeyes. There was not a woman in
that
country as beautiful as Job’s daughters. Their father treated them as equals with
their brothers, providing the same inheritance.”
3. MSG: “Job lived on another 140 years, living to see his children
and grandchildren—
four generations of them!”
God bless..
