- 0:31and thou knowest that thy servant did
- 0:34fear the lord and that the Creditor is
- 0:37come to take unto him my two sons to be
- 0:41bondmen and Elisha said unto her what

- 0:50said thine handmaiden hath not anything
- 0:53in the house

- 1:20in
- 1:21them borrow not a

- 1:34into all those
- 1:36vessels and thou shalt set aside that
- 1:39which is
- 1:41full and she went from him and shut the
- 1:43door upon her and her sons who brought
- 1:45the vessels to her and she poured
- 1:48out and it came to pass that when the
- 1:51vessels were full that she said unto her
- 1:54son bring me yet a vessel and he said
- 1:58unto her there is not a vessel more and
- 2:01the oil stayed or the oil
- 2:05quit then she came and told the man of
- 2:08God and he said go sell the oil pay th
- 2:11debt and live thou and thy children on
- 2:14the

- 3:10before I guess I'm getting old and
- 3:15weak but I'm going to preach By Request
- 3:18tonight and this is going to be the
- 3:20title of my
- 3:22message the Lord of what's
- 3:25left the
- 3:27Lord of what's left God bless you you
- 3:29can be seated would you lift your hands
- 3:32and ask the Holy Ghost to speak
- 3:35tonight Hallelujah God In The Name of
- 3:38Jesus talk to our hearts and our minds
- 3:40our thinking our
- 3:41spirit speak in this place tonight in
- 3:44the precious precious
- 3:46name of Jesus Christ in Jesus name we
- 3:51pray
- 3:54amen now in the scripture that I read in
- 3:58your hearing Bri brother Brian Henry did
- 4:00such a tremendous job using the
- 4:03scripture just a few Services
- 4:06ago and but I want to go back to it and
- 4:10I I want to preach to you about an
- 4:14amazing story in the Bible this is this
- 4:18is one of the most amazing stories in
- 4:20the
- 4:22Bible and I have been I've been
- 4:25preaching this message
- 4:27for uh somewhere around 35 years I
- 4:31preached this message the first time
- 4:32this is this message I'm about to preach
- 4:35is an old message that I preached as an
- 4:37evangelist just about everywhere I
- 4:39went my wife told me today it was one of
- 4:42my her favorite messages when we were
- 4:44evangelizing because she got to hear the
- 4:46same sermons over and over and over
- 4:50again wherever we
- 4:53went and any of y'all that ever
- 4:55criticize a preacher for that obviously
- 4:58have never preached
- 5:02because if you have a tool chest full of
- 5:04tools you're going to have a full few
- 5:07tool tools in that tool chest that
- 5:08you're going to be partial
- 5:11to because they
- 5:13work and if a tool
- 5:16works you use it
- 5:21again it'd be silly not
- 5:25to and uh no one ever gets on to the
- 5:28singers for singing a song
- 5:31again but they think a preacher ought to
- 5:33have something brand new every time he
- 5:36preaches and we do it's a brand new
- 5:41anointing I've never I've never preached
- 5:44a message that it turned out the same
- 5:46way
- 5:47twice because when God takes over that
- 5:51thing takes a life of its
- 5:54own and sometimes that means it turns
- 5:56out real good and sometimes it means
- 6:00it you wonder what
- 6:02[Music]
- 6:04happened but that most of the time has
- 6:07to do with the
- 6:08crowd because there's two anointings
- 6:11that a man operates under one is a
- 6:15vertical anointing it comes straight
- 6:17down out of heaven and the other's a
- 6:19horizontal anointing and it's pushed
- 6:21onto that preacher from the
- 6:24pews
- 6:26hallelujah hallelujah and so I I want I
- 6:29want to preach to you for a few minutes
- 6:31about the Lord of what's left now this
- 6:33this is an amazing story because this
- 6:37lady was the wife of a
- 6:40prophet you you would expect her you
- 6:43would expect this woman
- 6:46to you you'd expect her to know about
- 6:49miracles and you would expect her to
- 6:52know what God can do her her husband was
- 6:56a
- 6:57prophet he worked operated in the
- 7:00prophetic I mean that's Elisha knew her
- 7:04this was this is one of his
- 7:08prophets that has died and she calls
- 7:11Elijah in Elisha in I'm sorry and begins
- 7:15to tell
- 7:17Elisha that she's lost it
- 7:20all that's the story is that she's lost
- 7:25everything
- 7:26everything has been lost now man this is
- 7:30this is so vital and this is so
- 7:32important that you grasp this and get a
- 7:34hold of what I'm
- 7:36saying she's she's lost it all
- 7:39now what stands out to me in this
- 7:43story is that our faith is always for
- 7:47other
- 7:51people and when it happens to us we tend
- 7:55to forget everything we've been telling
- 7:57other people
- 8:02because if someone else would have come
- 8:04to this prophet's wife this pastor's
- 8:06wife this preacher's
- 8:08wife with the same story that she was
- 8:11given this Prophet
- 8:14Elisha she would have given the same
- 8:18advice to them that Elisha gave to
- 8:23her but when is
- 8:27you when is you that had the
- 8:30loss it seems like all memories of
- 8:33everything God's ever
- 8:36done somebody steals it out of your
- 8:42file oh come on
- 8:45now there is a he listen to me he's not
- 8:48just a
- 8:50killer he can't just kill your dream it
- 8:53would be wonderful if that's all he did
- 8:56if he just killed your dream
- 9:01but he don't do that he also robs your
- 9:03God
- 9:05file and all of a sudden you can't
- 9:08remember one Miracle one
- 9:11Deliverance one answer and it's as if
- 9:14you're facing the first problem you've
- 9:16ever faced and you don't even know if
- 9:19God can deliver or
- 9:21not it's like you've never heard a
- 9:24testimony and you've never heard can
- 9:26anybody testify that you've been there
- 9:32and she calls the prophet in and she
- 9:36sounds like a brand new convert that's
- 9:39never had an experience with God
- 9:44before I have lost it
- 9:48all I've lost everything here's her very
- 9:51words I don't have anything
- 9:55left that's what she said that that's
- 9:58the very word that's cor that's recorded
- 10:01in the Bible I don't have anything left
- 10:05and then she don't want to
- 10:08lie and she said
- 10:13well I mean there's a pot of all what's
- 10:20that well obviously that pot of all was
- 10:24a
- 10:26lot because a bunch of that gave her a
- 10:32retirement oil must have been worth
- 10:39something because that's the very thing
- 10:42that he used to totally change her
- 10:46life totally turn her life
- 10:52around but her story was I have
- 10:55nothing
- 10:57left I mean not a
- 10:59thing C can I just shoehorn this in
- 11:02that's exactly where God wants you
- 11:09sometimes because if you can get back
- 11:11what you've
- 11:13lost you can blame the Miracle on your
- 11:17Ingenuity if you can get back what
- 11:20you've lost you can make you can blame
- 11:22the Miracle on your
- 11:26abundance if you can get back what
- 11:28you've lost
- 11:30you can blame the Miracle on whatever it
- 11:33is that you
- 11:36regained but if he works a miracle out
- 11:39of
- 11:41nothing then you can only say all you
- 11:44can say is only
- 11:50God somehow he sometimes he likes to put
- 11:53you in a position that you have to say
- 11:55only God
- 12:02if it had not been for
- 12:04Jesus if it had not been for the Lord
- 12:08you know sometimes he wants you there
- 12:11sometimes he just put not because he
- 12:12don't love you but because he does love
- 12:17you sometimes he puts you there not
- 12:19because you've done anything wrong but
- 12:21because you've done everything right and
- 12:23he can't show you a miracle he can't
- 12:25show you his hand he can't show you his
- 12:28greatness
- 12:31until you have to say only
- 12:36God my God have mercy we're we're so
- 12:39limited that we think the only way we
- 12:40can get there is because we've done
- 12:42something wrong or we've made a mistake
- 12:44or we've made God mad or we've upset God
- 12:48that's not what it is sometimes he does
- 12:49it because he loves you and he wants you
- 12:51to have more faith than anybody
- 12:55else he wants you to have a testimony
- 12:58that nobody else
- 13:00has he wants you to have a testimony
- 13:03that no one else can lay claim to your
- 13:05testimony all of a sudden it's not a
- 13:07mundane testimony anymore all of a
- 13:10sudden it's not an average testimony
- 13:11anymore all of a sudden you got a
- 13:13treetop tall
- 13:18testimony now you've got the testimony
- 13:20to beat all
- 13:25testimonies sometimes he wants to set
- 13:27you apart
- 13:29he lets you lose everything not because
- 13:31he loves you but because he trusts
- 13:36you job didn't lose any everything
- 13:39because he was a sinner he lost
- 13:40everything because he was a
- 13:43saint job didn't lose everything because
- 13:45he was unfaithful he lost everything
- 13:47because he was
- 13:49faithful job didn't lose anything
- 13:52everything because God was mad at him he
- 13:54lost everything because God was he was
- 13:56special to God
- 13:59oh you're not you're not hearing me
- 14:02preach he didn't lose everything because
- 14:04God didn't trust him he love he lost
- 14:07everything because God trusted him more
- 14:09than anybody else on
- 14:18Earth man he didn't he didn't lose
- 14:20everything because God didn't like him
- 14:22he lost everything because God wanted
- 14:23him to have his own book in the Bible
- 14:26yeah that's it
- 14:30his name wasn't going to be a part of a
- 14:32book his name wasn't going to be a part
- 14:34of a story he wasn't going to be
- 14:36mentioned in somebody else's book he got
- 14:39oh my God he took everything from him
- 14:42and left him with nothing so that he can
- 14:44give him a book with his name on
- 14:50it
- 14:51yes
- 14:53wow my God he's not written in the book
- 14:56of Kings he's not written in one of the
- 14:58prophets
- 15:00my God he's got his own book it's the
- 15:02Book of Job and the only way he could
- 15:04get there is he had to lose it all he
- 15:07had to lose it all he had to lose
- 15:10everything in order to have his own
- 15:15[Applause]

- 15:38remembering this
- 15:40message from 30 years ago completely
- 15:45from
- 15:47memory what if God wants you to have
- 15:49your own
- 15:51book what if God wants you to have a
- 15:54book with your name on
- 15:57it wow
- 16:00my Lord have mercy when you turn to the
- 16:03Book of Job you start reading you got to
- 16:05understand the only reason there's a
- 16:06book of Job is because somebody lost it
- 16:11all there wouldn't be a book of job if
- 16:14somebody had lost it
- 16:17all but I'm preaching to you about the
- 16:19Lord of what's left

- 16:40this and
- 16:43so this little woman is telling the
- 16:47prophet I don't I don't have
- 16:49anything and I I can almost hear
- 16:53Ela You Know M maybe I'm reading things
- 16:56in if I'm reading things in forgive me
- 17:00but I can almost hear Elisha get a
- 17:02little irritated with
- 17:04her because all she wants to do is talk
- 17:07about what she's
- 17:11lost all she wants to do is complain you
- 17:14you can almost tell when she's telling
- 17:17him yeah that he was the last on her
- 17:20list she's already told

- 18:01he hears it in her tone that she's
- 18:05getting just a little too much out of

- 35:33rebellious he was angry he was full of
- 35:35all kind of
- 35:36rebellion at 10 years old he went with
- 35:39his daddy into
- 35:41town
- 35:43and his daddy had to go to the
- 35:45blacksmith shop to get work done on his
- 35:49Carriage he went in the black Shi Smith
- 35:51shop and begin to talk about talk to the
- 35:54blacksmith he said I need needs some
- 35:57work done out here and so the black
- 36:00blacksmith was working working in his in
- 36:04his Kil or whatever they call it I don't

- 36:07blacksmith shop Forge thank you he's
- 36:10working in his
- 36:12Forge
- 36:15and they had to leave the forge to go
- 36:17out and look at the
- 36:21wagon and he turned around and said come
- 36:23with us Billy and Billy shook his head
- 36:25no Billy didn't want to go with them he
- 36:27want stay in the blacksmith shop he said
