In this lesson, A Dead Promise and A Living Anointing, a dead promise shows the powerful things that happen when a covering is involved. The story about Elisha will help us not to allow our surroundings to dictate us on where real greatness comes from. If we think we can hoard our lives from hurt, we are only living in a dream.  Trouble forces its way into every man’s life regardless of where he sits. These examples should cause a work of faith to leap within our souls.
