IT IS WELL

The shunemite woman was a great woman:

Influential

Rich

she constrained Elisha:

Great hospitality

9.And she said unto her husband, Behold now, I perceive that this is a holy man of God, that passeth by us continually. 10.Let us make, I pray thee, a little chamber on the wall; and let us set for him there a bed, and a table, and a seat, and a candlestick: and it shall be, when he cometh to us, that he shall turn in thither. 11

There is always a reward time for Hospitality: she was not doing it for any human praise, Yet

American Standard Version Chapter 4

And Gehazi answered, Verily she hath no son, and her husband is old. 15And he said, Call her. And when he had called her, she stood in the door. 16And he said, At this season, when the time cometh round, thou shalt embrace a son. And she said, Nay, my lord, thou man of God, do not lie unto thy handmaid

She got a blessing,

I believe we should always do things because of our audience of One

American Standard Version Chapter 4

American Standard Version Chapter 4

18And when the child was grown, it fell on a day, that he went out to his father to the reapers. 19And he said unto his father, My head, my head.

There are many problems we may not know the source, but it will always be a good thing to wait on the lord.

American Standard Version Chapter 4

And it came to pass, when the man of God saw her afar off, that he said to Gehazi his servant, Behold, yonder is the Shunammite: 26run, I pray thee, now to meet her, and say unto her, Is it well with thee? is it well with thy husband? is it well with the child? And she answered, It is well

what will you say when everything around you is death?

American Standard Version Chapter 4

32And when Elisha was come into the house, behold, the child was dead, and laid upon his bed. 33He went in therefore, and shut the door upon them twain, and prayed unto Jehovah. 34And he went up, and lay upon the child, and put his mouth upon his mouth, and his eyes upon his eyes, and his hands upon his hands: and he stretched himself upon him; and the flesh of the child waxed warm. 35Then he returned, and walked in the house once to and fro; and went up, and stretched himself upon him: and the child sneezed seven times, and the child opened his eyes.

why should we say it is well?

Because God said it to us: ISAIAH 3:10-11b 10 Say ye of the righteous, that it shall be well with him; for they shall eat the fruit of their doings. 11Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ill with him; for what his hands have done shall be done unto him

God promised fulfillment to every believer

American Standard Version Chapter 11

23Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou taken up and cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that what he saith cometh to pass; he shall have it

We have some spiritual authority to pronounce blessings: A superior fact
