Hear Instruction
Howard Pastorella

Go, Again?
•	Faith without works is dead
•	Notice how many times the Scriptures mentions the word "GO"
•	This command holds true for promoting the plan of salvation as well as the acquiring of income and assets
•	2 Kings 4:3, "go...abroad"

Borrow? Are You Sure?
•	The prophet's command to the widow to go borrow may seem a bit confusing
•	Wasn't borrowing the very thing that got them into trouble? 
•	In terms of borrowing, these assets were non-interest bearing
•	Interest is the money you pay for borrowing other people's money
•	When it comes to interest, God's people should be the ones who are being paid for the use of their money
•	The only interest a child of God wants to be involved in is interest income

Abroad of All Thy Neighbors
•	God never violates His own laws
•	The Law of the Harvest is a conditional law
•	If you sow, then you will reap
•	They had to "go... abroad" 
•	To reap the harvest of God's promises of provision, the principles in His Word must be fully obeyed
•	Nothing can be omitted in the process of sowing and reaping

Not a Few
•	God has always been a God of Abundance
•	When God's intent is matched by human faith in and obedience to His Word, the result is always displayed beyond our ability to ask or think
•	Jesus' idea of abundance exceeds even the human capacity to comprehend
•	Be obedient to God's Word
