Pray the word with David Platt is a resource from Radical.net.

Second Kings, chapter 4, verse 3. Then he said,

Go outside, borrow vessels from all your neighbors,

empty vessels, and not too few. I love this verse,

the story of God's provision of oil for this widow

through Elisha, and she's told to go out and get as many vessels as she can

from all her neighbors, empty vessels, and not too few.

And basically the picture is, God was going to provide oil

as much as this widow wanted. According to

however many vessels she could find. And as I see this picture in

second Kings, chapter 4, I see a picture of what we see

all over the Bible. God promising to give to us,

to provide for us, according to what we need,

and according to what we ask. Like the picture we see all over scripture in God

is the storehouse of mercy that is under his authority,

that is available to us. If only we will ask and believe,

ask with faith. When Jesus says to us, and it's part of what this

podcast is based on, you remain in me, my words remain in you,

ask whatever you wish, and it will be given you.

That's a promise when we ask for God to answer our cries,

according to his word, he says, I will answer, I will give you

what you need, what you ask for when you ask it according to my word.
