Keith Battle - It Will Be Alright

All right, 2 Kings chapter four. I gave you all time to get to the scripture, 2 Kings, before you may have notes in your Bible on this passage. I have preached this passage many times, on Monday or remixed it yesterday. Look at verse 17. 2 Kings chapter 4, verse 17, New Living Translation says, «But sure enough, the woman soon became pregnant.» I want you to do me a favor. I know they are saying typically what we do, but I want you all to stand up when I read this. Let’s stand. I’ll explain why in a moment. Should I stand up the whole time? You all need to be standing. From verse 17, it says, «But sure enough, the woman soon became pregnant, and at that time the following year she had a son, just as Elijah had said.»

One day, when her child was older, he went out to help his father, who was working with the harvesters. Suddenly he cried out, «My head hurts! My head hurts!» His father said to one of the servants, «Carry him home to his mother.»

Verse 20: So the servant took him home, and his mother held him on her lap, but around noon time, he died. He died. He died.

Verse 21: She carried him up and laid him on the bed of the man of God, then shut the door and left him there. She sent a message to her husband: «Send one of the servants and a donkey so that I can hurry to the man of God and come right back.»

«Why go today?» he asked. «It is neither a new moon festival nor a Sabbath.» But she said, «It will be all right.»

Hmm. Verse 19: The son cried out, «My head hurts! My head hurts!» His father said to one of the servants, «Carry him home to his mother.» So the servant took him home, and his mother held him on her lap, but around noon time, he died. But he died. She carried him up and laid him on the bed of the man of God, then shut the door and left him there. She sent a message to her husband: «Send one of the servants and a donkey so I can hurry to the man of God and come right back.»

«Why go today?» he asked. «It is neither a new moon festival nor a Sabbath.» But she said, «It will be all right.»

It will be all right. Before you sit down, I want you to touch as many people as you can and tell them, «It will be all right.» If you have to go out of your aisle, if you have to stretch around to your right or left, it will be all right. It will be all right! It will be all right! It will be all right! Shake hands and tell them, «It will be all right!» I don’t know what your situation is, but it will be all right. I prophesy to you today that it will be all right. I don’t know how it is right now, but I’m telling you it will be all right. I don’t even know what your situation is, but it will be all right.

Somebody needs to receive that right now. Today, it will be all right. It may not be all right right now, but by faith, it will be all right. It will be all right! Somebody give God praise in advance. I don’t know what it is, but if it’s a financial situation, it will be all right. That child will be all right. That grandchild will be all right. That loved one will be all right. God said, «I don’t care how bad it looks; it will be all right.» It will be all right!

We’ve been made doorkeepers; weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning. We speak those things that are not as though they are. It will be all right. It will be all right. It will be all right!

I want you to walk around in Woodbridge High School and tell somebody it will be all right. You have to encourage someone around you. Somebody came in here hopeless today; somebody’s been crying. The Lord told me to tell you that you don’t have to cry anymore. You can go to sleep; you don’t have to be up all night. The Lord told me to tell you, «It will be all right!»

I got happy when I read it. I may have not excited you, but if you got it, you know what I’m telling you. God is speaking to your faith right now; it’s going to be all right.

Holy, holy, holy! This got me! I’ve been thinking the whole time. I’ve read this verse so many times and missed this. I always thought «all right» was one word. Excuse me, I did! Did you? I thought it was spelled A-L-R-I-G-H-T. See, I thought it was one word. All right! That blessed me if it was one word because «all right» means it’s going to be okay. It’s going to be all right; it’s not anything bad; it’s going to be okay.

When I looked closely at the verse, I saw that it’s separated: «all» and «right.» This is another level. Today, when I looked up the word «all,» it means everything. It means total; it means complete. «Right» means correct; it means perfect. What God told me to tell somebody today is that your end is not just going to be okay; it is going to be totally, completely correct. What if God gives you a total, complete correction of whatever it is you’ve got? It’s going to be… oh! I can’t even get to the best part—it’s going to be all right! All right!
