This is the story of a mother who couldn’t have a child, then had a miracle birth, followed by the child’s death, and a mother’s grim determination to hold onto God until God should bring her child through. She got in the vortex of the supernatural.

This passage is famous for how God used Elisha to raise the son of the Shunamite couple from the dead than for the great relationship between the couple. If not for this great relationship between man and wife, the devil would have stolen their son.

Don’t Limit Your Miracle!

Contributed by Anitha Jabastion on Jun 17, 2023

The woman’s limitation to believe staff can work hindered the miracle. If she would have trusted that the staff was enough for God to heal, that would have been enough for her miracle to manifest. This teaches us an important lesson that we can limit the power of God through our lack of faith.

The Bible has accounts of several miraculous healings both in the Old and New Testament: Namaan, being healed of his leprosy, Hezekiah healed of his lump, Bartholomew healed of his blindness, a man at Bethesda healed of his paralysis and the list continues. Even today, we hear testimonies around ...read more
