Seven Sweet Sneezes

In this miracle of raising the Shunammite's son to life we have a demonstration of the divine power at work through human agency. This was God's miracle by God's power but Elisha was fully involved and agonized over it. William Booth said it takes tow to grow a potato. It take man to plant it and God to grow it. Likewise in the gospel work God does not gather in souls without using human agents. This sermon shows how God is pleased to balance His divine power with human agency.
