-God doesnt want to solve the same problem twice. The miraculous is one of His modes of operation. God likes to “wow” us!

Miracles mark the hearts of people because it is something they cannot explain.

It is God’s desire for us to walk in the miraculous!

The miraculous always involves God for God desires to get involved in the affairs of man.

The same source of the miracle is the same source of the prophecy!

(4) Characters to notice in 2 Kings 7:

1. The prophet- set in place for your destiny to decare the Word of the Lord.
[Ref. Amos 3:7]

2. The doubter- the one who never believes always resorting to human reasoning.

3. The Catalysts (4 lepers)
[Ref. 2 Kings 7:3,4]

To experience miracles on a consistent basis, you have to confront your worst fears on a daily basis.

4. The king- the one that received the Word.
[Ref. 2 Kings 7:18]
