Faith In Who?

Acts 19:11 – 15
Miracles Glorify Christ
11  Now God worked unusual miracles by the hands of Paul,  12  so that even handkerchiefs
or aprons were brought from his body to the sick, and the diseases left them and the
evil spirits went out of them.  13  Then some of the itinerant Jewish exorcists took it upon
themselves to call the name of the Lord Jesus over those who had evil spirits,
saying,  [a] “We  [b] exorcise you by the Jesus whom Paul preaches.”  14  Also there were seven
sons of Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, who did so.
15  And the evil spirit answered and said, “Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are
you?”

ALSO… v6 - And when Paul had laid hands on them, the Holy Spirit came upon
them,…

Itinerant - traveling from place to place (wandering, roaming)

2 KINGS 4:8-37

Elisha Raises the Shunammite’s Son

8  Now it happened one day that Elisha went to Shunem, where there was a  [a] notable
woman, and she  [b] persuaded him to eat some food. So it was, as often as he passed by,
he would turn in there to eat some food.  9  And she said to her husband, “Look now, I
know that this is a holy man of God, who passes by us regularly.  10  Please, let us
make  [c] a small upper room on the wall; and let us put a bed for him there, and a table
and a chair and a lampstand; so it will be, whenever he comes to us, he can turn in
there.”
11  And it happened one day that he came there, and he turned in to the upper room
and lay down there.  12  Then he said to Gehazi his servant, “Call this Shunammite
woman.” When he had called her, she stood before him.  13  And he said to him,
“Say now to her, ‘Look, you have been concerned for us with all this care.
What can I do for you? Do you want me to speak on your behalf to the king or to
the commander of the army?’ ”
She answered, “I dwell among my own people.”
14  So he said, “What then is to be done for her?”
And Gehazi answered, “Actually, she has no son, and her husband is old.”
15  So he said, “Call her.” When he had called her, she stood in the doorway.  16  Then
he said,  [d] “About this time next year you shall embrace a son.”
And she said, “No, my lord. Man of God, do not lie to your maidservant!”
17  But the woman conceived, and bore a son when the appointed time had come,
of which Elisha had told her.
18  And the child grew. Now it happened one day that he went out to his father, to the
reapers.  19  And he said to his father, “My head, my head!”
So he said to a servant, “Carry him to his mother.”  20  When he had taken him and
brought him to his mother, he sat on her knees till noon, and then died.  21  And she went
up and laid him on the bed of the man of God, shut the door upon him, and went
out.  22  Then she called to her husband, and said, “Please send me one of the young men
and one of the donkeys, that I may run to the man of God and come back.”
23  So he said, “Why are you going to him today? It is neither the New Moon nor the
Sabbath.”
And she said,  [e] “It is well.”  24  Then she saddled a donkey, and said to her servant, “Drive,
and go forward; do not slacken the pace for me unless I tell you.”  25  And so she
departed, and went to the man of God at Mount Carmel.

So it was, when the man of God saw her afar off, that he said to his servant
Gehazi, “Look, the Shunammite woman!  26  Please run now to meet her, and say to
her, ‘Is it well with you? Is it well with your husband? Is it well with the child?’ ”
And she answered, “It is well.”  27  Now when she came to the man of God at the
hill, she caught him by the feet, but Gehazi came near to push her away. But the
man of God said, “Let her alone; for her soul is in deep distress, and the LORD has
hidden it from me, and has not told me.”
28  So she said, “Did I ask a son of my lord? Did I not say, ‘Do not deceive me’?”
29  Then he said to Gehazi, “Get [f]  yourself ready, and take my staff in your hand,
and be on your way. If you meet anyone, do not greet him; and if anyone greets
you, do not answer him; but lay my staff on the face of the child.”
30  And the mother of the child said, “As the LORD lives, and as your soul lives, I will
not leave you.” So he arose and followed her.  31  Now Gehazi went on ahead of
them, and laid the staff on the face of the child; but there was neither voice nor
hearing. Therefore he went back to meet him, and told him, saying, “The child
has not awakened.”
32  When Elisha came into the house, there was the child, lying dead on his
bed.  33  He went in therefore, shut the door behind the two of them, and prayed to
the LORD.  34  And he went up and lay on the child, and put his mouth on his mouth,
his eyes on his eyes, and his hands on his hands; and he stretched himself out
on the child, and the flesh of the child became warm.  35  He returned and walked
back and forth in the house, and again went up and stretched himself out on him;
then the child sneezed seven times, and the child opened his eyes.  36  And he called
Gehazi and said, “Call this Shunammite woman.” So he called her. And when she came
in to him, he said, “Pick up your son.”  37  So she went in, fell at his feet, and bowed to the
ground; then she picked up her son and went out.

HEBREWS 11:6
6  But without faith it is impossible to [walk with God and] please Him, for whoever comes
[near] to God must [necessarily] believe that God exists and that He rewards those who
[earnestly and diligently] seek Him.

1 Samuel 17:45-47 MSG
45-47  David answered, “You come at me with sword and spear and battle-ax. I come at
you in the name of GOD-of-the-Angel-Armies, the God of Israel’s troops, whom you
curse and mock. This very day GOD is handing you over to me.

James 4:7-10 MSG
7-10  So let God work his will in you. Yell a loud no to the Devil and watch him make
himself scarce. Say a quiet yes to God and he’ll be there in no time.
