“Receiving Divine Speed” was the sermon that teaches that God can accelerate a believer’s progress beyond natural limits, citing 1 Kings 18:46, which says that the hand of the Lord came upon Elijah and he ran ahead of Ahab, showing supernatural empowerment. It explains that such speed comes from God, referencing Isaiah 40:31, which states that those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength and run without weariness, and Psalm 127:1, which declares that unless the Lord builds the house, labor is in vain. It further notes that obedience positions one for acceleration, as Deuteronomy 28:1 says that diligent obedience leads to being set high above others, and Isaiah 1:19 affirms that the willing and obedient shall eat the good of the land. The message also highlights spiritual sensitivity, pointing to 1 Kings 18:41, where Elijah declares the sound of abundant rain before it appears, and John 10:27, where Jesus says His sheep hear His voice. It emphasizes persistent prayer, referencing 1 Kings 18:43, which reports Elijah instructing his servant to go again seven times, and James 5:16, which states that the fervent prayer of a righteous person is effective. Faith is presented as essential, with Hebrews 11:6 saying that without faith it is impossible to please God, and Mark 9:23 declaring that all things are possible to the one who believes. Finally, it concludes that God restores lost time, as Joel 2:25 says He will restore the years eaten by locusts, and Amos 9:13 declares that the plowman shall overtake the reaper, illustrating divine acceleration and recovery.
