Spiritual Lessons found in the Miracles of Elisha

In the Come, Follow Me manual this week, one of the suggestions was to study the miracles of Elisha found in 2 Kings 2-6 and ponder the spiritual lessons we can learn from those miracles. Here's what I learned from my studies of these miracles:

When we follow the prophet and allow the Lord to be part of our lives, then...

• Miracles will happen (woman of Shunem, 2 Kings 4:14-17)
• Dead things can be brought back to life (boy-2 Kings 4:35; soup-4:40-41)
• We will always have access to Living Water (ditches-2 Kings 2:16-20)
• We are blessed in unexpected ways to conquer our enemies (Moabite army-2 Kings 2:21-24)
• We are given protection from the enemy (Syrian army-2 Kings 6:12)
• Our insufficiencies will be made sufficient (oil-2 Kings 4:1-7, bread-2 Kings 4:42-44)
• Lost things will be found (ax head-2 Kings 6:5-7)
• Healing will occur (water-2 Kings 2:19-22 Naaman-2 Kings 5:1-14)
• Eyes will be opened, perspectives widened, vision enhanced (heavenly armies-2 Kings 6:17)

I also noticed that these miracles were seen in all demographics of people: wealthy and destitute, believer and non-believer, adults and children, male and female. "God is no respecter of persons" (Acts 10:34) and is eager and willing to bless us with miracles in our lives. In April 2022 General Conference, Pres. Nelson said "the Lord will bless you with miracles if you believe in Him, 'doubting nothing.' Do the spiritual work to seek miracles. Prayerfully ask God to help you exercise that kind of faith. I promise that you can experience for yourself that Jesus Christ 'giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.'"
