 1 Biographies Elijah and Elisha (Elisha & Elijah 01) Introduction: The Man of God 6009 The Bible record of Elijah homes in on the man whereas for Elisha the message is emphasized. Together they give the man of God and his message. What are the real characteristics of a man of God? From Elijah's sudden introduction to the national scene, Ed points out that a man of God is one who has God as his strength, lives in the presence of the Lord, has learned the value of the hidden life, and trusts God to provide all his needs. Ed Miller ElishaElijah_01.mp3 1Kings 17:1-7
 2 Biographies Elijah and Elisha (Elisha & Elijah 02) Characteristics of the Man of God Pt. 1 6009 A real man of God lives completely independently of circumstances. God is behind everything; the real man of God knows that. A real man of God is supernaturally content. Only God can give a satisfied heart in adversity or in prosperity. Ed Miller ElishaElijah_02CharacterOfManOfGod_01.mp3 1Kings 17:1-16, Philippians 4:11-13
 3 Biographies Elijah and Elisha (Elisha & Elijah 03) Characteristics of the Man of God Pt. 2 6009 A man of God's responsibility before God is to be usable; it is God's responsibility to use him.

A man of God faces rejection of his method and message; he lives his life outside the camp, as contrasted with compromising Obadiah. Ed Miller ElishaElijah_03A_01.mp3 1Kings 17:8-18:19; Luke 4:25-26
 4 Biographies Elijah and Elisha (Elisha & Elijah 04) Characteristics of the Man of God Pt. 3 6009 A man of God whose heart is set on the glory of God cannot tolerate compromise (i.e. won't halt between two opinions).

 5 Biographies Elijah and Elisha (Elisha & Elijah 05) Characteristics of the Man of God Pt. 4 6009 A man of God is one who expects supernatural miracles. Possibility is an absolute with God. True prayer is one of humble worship. God answers when you pray not because you pray; don't make an idol out of faith or prayer. Ed Miller ElishaElijah_05.mp3 1Kings 18:30-46
 6 Biographies Elijah and Elisha (Elisha & Elijah 06) Characteristics of the Man of God Pt. 5 6009 A man of God is one who rises up after failure. Amidst failure and discouragement, encouragement is a job for the God Himself, as the Angel of the LORD (the Son of God) came to Elijah under the juniper tree. The only cause of failure is not circumstances but taking one's eyes off the Lord, as depicted by Elijah's seeing God in the still, small voice. Ed Miller ElishaElijah_06.mp3 1Kings 19:1-14
 7 Biographies Elijah and Elisha (Elisha & Elijah 07) 1Kings 19-21 Elijah Finds Elisha 6009 A man of God recognizes that God alone is indispensible.

Ed Miller ElishaElijah_07Kings19-21_01.mp3 1Kings 19-21
 8 Biographies Elijah and Elisha (Elisha & Elijah 08) Conclusion Of Elijah - Elijah in his Maturity 6009 As Elijah walked in fellowship with God, looking to Jesus Christ, all these characteristics as a man of God were automatic. Ed observes 5 events that hints at maturity, such as a heart settled on being alone with God and a concern with how others are doing in the Lord. His trust in God is automatic and has a glorious, victorious departure! Ed Miller ElishaElijah_08ConclusionOfElijah_01.mp3 2Kings 1-2
 9 Biographies Elijah and Elisha (Elisha & Elijah 09) Introduction: The Message of God 6009 Ed introduces Elisha, the little country preacher that had a worldwide effect. Elisha's first miracle of the healing of the waters at Jericho illustrate the resurrection life that comes to one who confesses deadness when outwardly all appears pleasant. The second miracle of the attack of the two she-bears conveys that not all will accept the message of the man of God and God's judgment awaits. Ed Miller ElishaElijah_09IntroTiElisha_01.mp3 1Kings 19:19-21; 2 Kings 1-2
 10 Biographies Elijah and Elisha (Elisha & Elijah 10) 2Kings 3: Resurrection Life 6009 The miracle in the wilderness of Edom addresses the basic problem of thirst. The digging of the trenches in the desert was simply a reservoir to receive what God wanted to give. The timing of the miracle at the time of the morning sacrifice and its allusion to blood picture the ocean fulness of the Lord Jesus. From this we learn: make your life full of ditches! Ed Miller ElishaElijah_10Kings03-04_01.mp3 2Kings 3
 11 Biographies Elijah and Elisha (Elisha & Elijah 11) 2Kings 4: Two Resurrection Miracles 6009 The miracle of the multiplied oil emphasizes our desparate need and God's abundant fulness. Take your need (the empty jars) before God (the closed door) to receive what you need for your desparate situation. Elisha's problem with the raising of the son is the same message: both listener and preacher have to go behind closed doors to have unbroken fellowship with God. Ed Miller ElishaElijah_11Kings04_01.mp3 2Kings 4:1-37
 12 Biographies Elijah and Elisha (Elisha & Elijah 12) 2Kings 4: Two More Resurrection Miracles (Pure Grace) 6009 The story of the "death in the pot" is a message of supernatural quality. The preacher who is feeding the hungry (the sons of the prophets) spiritually can rest confidently that God will keep completely safe those whose eyes are on Jesus Christ. The message of resurrection is also one of supernatural quantity as depicted by the multiplying of the loaves. Ed finishes by giving an overview of the healing of Naaman the leper as a story of the Gospel in picture form. Ed Miller ElishaElijah_12Kings04_01.mp3 2Kings 4:38-44
 13 Biographies Elijah and Elisha (Elisha & Elijah 13) 2Kings 5: Message of Pure Grace (Naaman the Leper) 6009 The miraculous healing of Naaman the leper is a double miracle of changed skin and a changed heart. In pure grace, God does everything. He sovereignly chooses the instrument (the little slave girl) and does the impossible! Ed Miller ElishaElijah_13Kings05_01_cut.mp3 2Kings 5
 14 Biographies Elijah and Elisha (Elisha & Elijah 14) 2Kings 6: Restored Axhead; Supernatural Vision 6009 The miracle of the floating axhead is a resurrection message of supernatural power. The Christian worker (the axhead) may be brought up from a place of helplessness (sunk in the river) to a place of usefulness by the power of the cross (the stick). The following miracle is a resurrection miracle of spiritual insight/revelation. God must open our eyes to see the reality of His promises. Ed Miller ElishaElijah_14Kings06_01.mp3 2Kings 6:1-23
 15 Biographies Elijah and Elisha (Elisha & Elijah 15) 2Kings 7: Life from the Dead 6009 The miraculous routing of the enemy and appropriation of the spoil by the four starving lepers is the message of the faithfulness of God. If you enjoy any measure of spiritual blessings, it is not because of your faith but because of God's faithfulness. The tragedy of unbelief (like the trampled sentry) is that you will see God's promises in others but not taste it for yourself. Ed closes on how the partaking of God's bounty produces a natural desire to want to share that with others (witnessing). Ed Miller ElishaElijah_15Kings07_01.mp3 2Kings 7
 16 Biographies Elijah and Elisha (Elisha & Elijah 16) Five Concluding Resurrection Principles 6009 Ed concludes the message of resurrection as illustrated in Elisha's life as the obedience of faith, a God-given brokenheartedness for sin, the glory of God and the victory being primarily Godward not manward. The climactic miracle of the dead man beign raised to life by touching Elisha's bones a summary miracle that it was the God of Elisha (not the prophet) that was doing the work. It also offers hope that the message of resurrection in your life will last long after you're gone. Ed Miller ElishaElijah_16Conclusion_01.mp3 2Kings 8-14
