Walking in Your Blessing: Nothing Too Hard for God!

By Brenda Oglesby

Do you really think there is no hope for you? Ezekiel did not say “No, Lord. I don’t think you can do it.” He just said “I don’t know, but you know, God. You know, God, what you will and can do.” Therefore, Ezekiel had hope; he did not have hope in his ability, but in God’s ability to restore. Do you have that kind of hope in God? God can deliver and restore all to you. Having that kind of faith in God will change your circumstance.

Brenda Oglesby confessed Christ at an early age and grew up in a Christian home. After many years of attending church with her family, God placed it on her heart to attend a full gospel, non-denominational church where she was introduced to the full gospel taught by a pastor that believed in operating in all the Gifts of the Spirit. It was during that time, that she received the call from God to teach his word, and she received revelation that God bestowed her, the gift of intercession. Today, she operates in the gift of prophecy, teaches God’s word and intercedes for many. Mrs. Oglesby has been married to her husband over thirty-seven years and have a son, Robert Oglesby 3rd.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

Father, I thank you for this book. I thank you for my grandson, Jordan. Many times, you would speak to me through the things he experienced as a child. As I observe him, I wrote it down for others to learn. God, it is surprising that you love childlike faith. I learned a lot of valuable lessons by observing Jordan and how he always acted in faith without knowing what he was doing. Faith, hope, and love, but operating in love is the answer (1 Corinthians 13:7).

HAVE FAITH IN GOD

HOW MANY TIMES HAVE YOU been told to have faith in God or to have faith in God’s word? How many times has it been said to you, Just believe the word of the Lord? Today, I am proclaiming to you that you will be blessed when you have faith in God and his word. Second Kings 7 tells why you should have faith in God and his word and shows us that all things are possible with God. The scripture says in 2 Kings 7:1 (KJV), Then Elisha said, Hear ye the word of the Lord; thus saith the Lord, tomorrow about this time shall a measure of fine flour be sold for a shekel, and two measures of barely for a shekel, in the gate of Samaria. There was a famine in Samaria, and the man of God, Elisha, told the king that there would be food in Samaria the next day. The king’s assistant officer did not believe the word of the Lord. He said that it could not happen even if God opened up the windows of heaven. Elisha said, It will happen, and you will see it happen, but you will not be able to eat of it.

How many times have you heard a word from God and did not believe in it? Let’s say you did believe the word you received from the Lord but people who you surround yourself with did not believe the word you received from God. This caused you to have doubts and experience unbelief, therefore missing your blessing. Well, there are three points from 2 Kings 7 that will help you.

1. Believe the word of the God

2. Go forth at all cost to receive your blessing

3. Watch who you surround yourself with

In 2 Kings 7:3–4 (NLT), the scriptures say,

Now there were four men with leprosy, sitting at the entrance of the city gate. Why should we sit here waiting to die? they asked each other. We will starve if we stay here, and we will starve if we go back into the city. So we might as well go out and surrender to the Aramean army. If they let us live, so much the better. But if they kill us we would have died anyway.

During those times, if you had leprosy, you could not live inside the city. Also, the city of Samaria was under siege by their enemy. The combination of these two problems kept the four lepers outside the city gate. The four lepers sat at the city gate and had a discussion about their future. This is what we do. We sit around discussing our future with each other. However, the four lepers didn’t just talk about their future; they did something about it. The four lepers came to the conclusion that they should move forward by faith. They may have been forced to stay outside the city, but they were not defeated. As you read this chapter, think about what is keeping you from God’s blessing. The four lepers heard the word of the Lord. They heard the prophecy that Elisha gave about food being
