I Can't! You Can"T! We Can't!

I CAN'T! YOU CAN'T! WE CAN'T!

2 Corinthians 5:7 (For we walk by faith, not by sight:)

CATCH A NEW IDEA... I GET IT...

WE SOMEONE WITH VISION TO GRAB AN IDEA AND ADVANCE IT BY FAITH!

Romans 1:17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written,

The just shall live by faith.

Some see things the way they are and WONDER WHY?

God is searching for SOMEONE TO WALK BY FAITH AND LAUNCH A NEW IDEA, A NEW

SONG, A NEW THOUGHT INTO EXISTENCE.

SOME SEE THINGS AS THEY COULD BE AND SAY: WHY NOT?

IDEA: A THOUGHT, A PLAN, A SUGGESTION ABOUT WHAT TO DO...

SOMETHING THAT YOU IMAGINE OR PIICTURE IN YOUR MIND, A PLAN OF ACTION...

a visible representation of a conception,

WHY SIT HERE UNTIL WE DIE? FAITH BIRTHS AN IDEA! FAITH BIRTHS HOPE...

THE NATION WAS IN A SEASON OF TERRIBLE JUDGMENT...

never forget SIN HAS A PRICE TAG...

The drought, the famine was so terrible --- daily they were burying huge numbers of people.

THE PREACHER DECLARES: THERE IS A NEW MOVE OF GOD...

THE PREACHER LAUNCHES A NEW IDEA FOR A NEW DAY...

THERE WILL BE FOOD A PLENTY BY THIS TIME TOMORROW...

2 Kings 7:1 Then Elisha said, Hear ye the word of the LORD; Thus saith the LORD, To morrow

about this time shall a measure of fine flour be sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley

for a shekel, in the gate of Samaria.

PROPHETIC WORDS WORK TWO WAYS! SOME WILL SEE THE MIRACLE AND

NEVER TASTE THE VICTORY.

WHERE THERE IS FAITH LAUNCHED, EXPECT THE NEGATIVE: I CAN'T! YOU CAN'T!

Where faith makes a DECLARATION, EXCEPT BIG MOUTH TO YELL:

I CAN'T! YOU CAN'T! WE CAN'T!

2 Kings 7:2 Then a lord on whose hand the king leaned answered the man of God, and said,

Behold, if the LORD would make windows in heaven, might this thing be?

And he said, Behold, thou shalt see it with thine eyes, but shalt not eat thereof.

YOU ARE RIGHT BUDDY, YOU WILL SEE THE MIRACLE ---

BUT YOU WILL DIE HUNGRY!

THERE WERE FOUR MEN, UNCLEAN, SITTING OUT OF THE CAMP ---

MAYBE WE WILL DIE --- BUT COME ON LET'S DO SOMETHING!

FOUR VERY SICK MEN...

FOUR HANDICAPPED INDIVIDUALS WERE NOT GOING TO EXCUSE THE LACK OF

FAITH BY OFFERING AN EXCUSE...

2 Kings 7:3 And there were four leprous men at the entering in of the gate: and they said one

to another, Why sit we here until we die?

FAITH SAYS: WHY DIE HERE?

WHY DIE IN THE CITY?

WHY NOT DO SOMETHING?

GOD MAY HAPPEN TO BLESS OUR FAITH EFFORT? !!!

WE ARE NOT THE PROBLEM, WE ARE THE SOLUTION!

THE IDEA OF FAITH LAUNCHED LANDS A MIRACLE... THEY EAT PLENTY...

ONE OF THE FOUR BELCHES WITH A FULL STOMACH AND HAS A FAITH IDEA.

2 Kings 7:9 Then they said one to another, We do not well: this day is a day of good tidings, and

we hold our peace: if we tarry till the morning light, some mischief will come upon us: now therefore

come, that we may go and tell the king's household.

THE TRAP OF THE NEGATIVE ALWAYS COMPLAINING BECOMES A PROPHECY

THE DOOM AND GLOOM IS THE DEATH GARGLE OF HOPELESS, FAITHLESS PEOPLE.

YOUR FAITH CHOICE WILL LAUNCH GOD'S WORD OR TRAP YOU IN HOPELESSNESS.

2 Kings 7:17 And the king appointed the lord on whose hand he leaned to have the charge of the

gate: and the people trode upon him in the gate, and he died, as the man of God had said,

who spake when the king came down to him.

WE ARE SO LIMITED... I CAN'T! YOU CAN'T! WE CAN'T!

William Barker wrote a book A SAVIOR FOR ALL SEASONS.

The book tells a very interesting story of I CAN'T, YOU CAN'T.

An educated Bishop was the East Coast was a great orator and was traveling around

the USA speaking where ever there was an open door.

The Bishop was speaking at a small Midwestern religious college.

There was a Professor at that college that taught PHYSICS and CHEMISTRY on the campus.

This Professor also served as THE PRESIDENT OF THE COLLEGE.

As the President he entertained this guest speaker in his home.

There was a small group of leaders invited to dinner. After the table was cleared

there was a discussion that was very interesting.

THE BISHOP WAS VERY CLEAR: THE SECONND COMING & MILLENNIUM COULD NOT

BE VERY FAR OFF, BECAUSE JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING ABOUT NATURE HAD BEEN

DICOVERED AND THAT ALL INVENTIONS CONCEIVED.

The Bishop was very clear about the future.

THE YOUNG PROFESSOR THAT WAS THE COLLEGE PRESIDENT POLITELY DISAGREED
