He'll Do It Again
Steve Wagers
II Kings 4:1-7
INTRODUCTION
1. No doubt every one of us are all too familiar with the blessed old hymns, "Be not dismayed, what're betide, God will take care of you."
2. "He will supply, He will supply; Yes, I know, He will supply!' And, though we sing it, preach it, and hear it, there are times when we really wonder if God is aware of our dismal situation.
3. No doubt, many of you are familiar with the life of George Muller, who at Ashley Down, England, built several orphanages.

5. It is said that millions, and millions of dollars flooded into the ministry of Muller during his life for those children.
6. Muller, a man of radiant faith, kept a motto on his desk for many years that brought comfort and strength to his heart.

9. Yet, like Muller, I can stand before you tonight, without one moment of hesitation, and say, thanks be to God, He has never failed to supply my need. HE IS ENOUGH!
10. Now, while that seems to be the popular interpretation of this portion of Scripture, it is not the only interpretation.

12. You see, as you know, the central focus of this story is oil. It is oil, which is needed, and it is oil which is lacking.
13. Thus, as you know, through the Word of God, oil serves as a picture of a very interesting truth. That being, the presence of the Holy Spirit.
14. Hence, as we consider the true picture of the story bef ...
