"Your Dream Will Sneeze"
II Kings 4:8-37
8 One day Elisha went to Shunem. And a well-to-do woman was there, who urged him to stay for a meal. So whenever he came by, he stopped there to eat.
9 She said to her husband, “I know that this man who often comes our way is a holy man of God. 1
10 Let’s make a small room on the roof and put in it –
a bed and a table, a chair and a lamp for him. Then he can stay there whenever he comes to us.”
11 One day when Elisha came, he went up to his room and lay down there. 12 He said to his servant Gehazi, “Call the Shunammite.” So he called her, and she stood before him. 13 Elisha said to him, “Tell her, ‘You have gone to all this trouble for us. Now what can be done for you? Can we speak on your behalf to the king or the commander of the army?’”
She replied, “I have a home among my own people.”
14 “What can be done for her?” Elisha asked.
Gehazi said, “She has no son, and her husband is old.”
15 Then Elisha said, “Call her.” So he called her, and she stood in the doorway.
16 “About this time next year,” Elisha said, “you will hold a son in your arms.”
“No, my lord!” she objected. “Please, man of God, don’t mislead your servant!” Please don’t play games with me; don’t discourage my heart.
17 But the woman became pregnant, and the next year about that same time she gave birth to a son, just as Elisha had told her.
18 The child grew, and one day he went out to his father, who was with the reapers. 19 He said to his father, “My head! My head!”
His father told a servant, “Carry him to his mother.”
20 After the servant had lifted him up and carried him to his mother, the boy sat on her lap until noon, and then he died.
21 She went up and laid him on the bed of the man of God, then shut the door and went out.
22 She called her husband and said, “Please send me one of the servants and a donkey so I can go to the man of God quickly and return.”
23 “Why go to him today?” he asked. “It’s not the New Moon or the Sabbath.”
“That’s all right,” she said.
24 She saddled a donkey and said to her servant, “Lead on; don’t slow down for me unless I tell you.”
25 So she set out and came to the man of God at Mount Carmel. When he saw her in the distance, the man of God said to his servant Gehazi, “Look! There’s the Shunammite!
26 Run to meet her and ask her, ‘Are you all right? Is your husband all right? Is your child all right?’”
“It is well,” she said.
27 When she reached the man of God at the mountain, she took hold of his feet. Gehazi came over to push her away, but the man of God said, “Leave her alone! She is in bitter distress, but the LORD has hidden it from me and has not told me why.”
28 “Did I ask you for a son, my lord?” she said. “Didn’t I tell you, ‘to not raise my hopes’?” To please, ‘don’t play games with me.’
29 Elisha said to his servant, Gehazi, “Tuck your cloak into your belt, take my staff in your hand and run. Don’t greet anyone you meet, and if anyone greets you, do not answer. Lay my staff on the boy’s face.”
30 But the child’s mother said, “As surely as the LORD lives and as you live, I will not leave you.” So he got up and followed her.
31 Gehazi went on ahead and laid the staff on the boy’s face, but there was no sound or response. So Gehazi went back to meet Elisha and told him, “The boy has not awakened.”
32 When Elisha reached the house, there was the boy lying dead on his couch. 33 He went in, shut the door on the two of them and prayed to the LORD.
34 Then he got on the bed and lay on the boy, mouth to mouth, eyes to eyes, hands to hands. As he stretched himself out on him, the boy’s body grew warm.
35 Elisha turned away and walked back and forth in the room and then got on the bed and stretched out upon him once more. ----
The boy sneezed seven times-- and opened his eyes.
36 Elisha sent for the boy’s mother. When she came, he said, “Take your son.”
37 She came in, fell at his feet and bowed to the ground. Then she took her son and went out.

The little boy in this Biblical story represents the promises that God has made you. He represents the Dreams that you are believing to come true. The hopes and the faith which you have invested into believing because you know it was God who spoke them to you. For you know God's voice, you are His child and the voice of a stranger you will not follow.
Don't let go of God's promises to you; do not let go of your Dreams. Whatever you have asked God for, He will surely bring to pass. God's not playing games with your heart.
The waiting gets hard as you stand and believe, hurt comes in and you begin to wonder if you heard 'right' from God.
But as the woman in II Kings 4, sat and held her son, she was holding on to her dream, she was holding onto God's promise and His gift to her. Even when he died, she refused to accept that the promise God gave her had been rescinded, had been lost, had been in vain.
The woman placed her 'Promise' upon the bed of the Promise Giver, seeking out the man of God, she refused to let death win.
With a 'sneeze', a succession of seven, Life was restored into her child, her dream, God's promise.
And so shall it be with you...
Your Dreams of Marriage, of Health and Healing, of Healed Finances, Peace in Your family, Peace on your job; Peace within your heart. No matter the Dream, it's Your Dream, it's God's promise to you. Though time has made it seem lifeless, it it alive and it will 'sneeze'.
Father God, we thank you for your Word and your loving and great and precious promises which you have given unto us.
We thank you that each dream and promise will surely 'sneeze' and open it's eyes, for it is alive and it is well.
In Jesus' Name, Amen and Amen...
