Elisha's weeping in the face of Hazael is an action sermon for us to observe that the man of God feels what he preaches. The gospel message is more than theory or a package to deliver and be gone. Elisha shows us that tears are needed to minister to the souls of men. He is one of many examples of faithful servants of God whose hearts were broken with the urgency to reach perishing souls. In this sermon, a number of Biblical examples are given starting with Elisha. The need for this brokenness is vindicated in the fulfillment of Elisha's prophecy regarding Hazael's reign of terror against Israel. Reasons are also given why God demands brokenness from His servants to deliver His message of grace to deliver souls. The missing element in the modern day evangelical church shows how the church can move from a ministry of power to mere trite conformity to creeds and formalism. This needs to be repented of.

“ Wonderful message! ” I was touched by this sermon. I have been praying for the salvation of a loved one with many tears, much love and deep sorrow of heart. My heart is broken over the sins of my beloved friend, but the Lord has truly stood by me and encouraged me to keep on praying. I hope in God and also grieve with hope, as I wait on the Lord for my friend's salvation. May the Lord increasingly break my heart for the things which break His heart, in Jesus' name I ask

“ Heart breaking Sermon... ” ...and bless the Lord for being so,and using this brother. I have lisened to this sermon 4 times now,as it has cemented the way the Lord has used me again in going out into the town centres every saturday with the Word of God on a placard, after eighteen months of little service for Christ, as it were. The Lord has placed upon me to use the text "God...commandeth all men everywhere to repent ", and as i see the people pass by knowing if they do not repent, and die in their sins,then it is weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth,and being tormented in the flame. I weep daily for lost perishing souls and have a tremendous burden to witness to them. May the Lord be pleased to use me to His glory,it is a strong message,and i am such a weak vessel.Thankyou brother for this sermon,tremendous.

“ Convicting Sermon! ” A stirring and convicting message. So often we get comfortable in church and sit week in week out, without a second thought for the countless souls on the road to hell. Oh, for the spirit of Elisha, to weep!
