1 Kings 18:41-46
New International Version (NIV)
41 And Elijah said to Ahab, “Go, eat and drink, for there is the sound of a heavy rain.” 42 So Ahab went off to eat and drink, but Elijah climbed to the top of Carmel, bent down to the ground and put his face between his knees.
43 “Go and look toward the sea,” he told his servant. And he went up and looked.
“There is nothing there,” he said.
Seven times Elijah said, “Go back.”
(44 The seventh time the servant reported, “A cloud as small as a man’s hand is rising from the sea).”
So Elijah said, “Go and tell Ahab, ‘Hitch up your chariot and go down before the rain stops you.’”
45 Meanwhile, the sky grew black with clouds, the wind rose, a heavy rain started falling and Ahab rode off to Jezreel. 46 The power of the Lord came on Elijah and, tucking his cloak into his belt, he ran ahead of Ahab all the way to Jezreel.

Elijah heard the voice of God. and through faith , that if God said it, it shall come to pass . I pray that God have get to a place in him, when i hear his voice, even though I do not see it, I know it will come to pass even though I can not see it.
In Kings 18 all of the people and the false prophets did not believe in the Lord. Mount Carmel is significant because it was there the lesson was taught and God revealed who the true prophets were, and who the lord was. The people would not believe unless they could see. Elijah a true prophet of the lord called the of the lord to prove to the people there is only one true God. Amen Glory to God.
Yes god want us to have the same kind of faith that Elijah had in this day and this time so we can see and experience the same miracles he did. we need to seek the face of God like never before and be obedient to his will for our life.
Prophetess Jazzmin Perez said:
I agree that Elijah knew what to do when the storms approached, he had that remarkable faith in God that he was going to move in the situation, the kind of faith that we need today.

Yes when we are obedient we see miracles, signs and wonder that God's hand is at work in our ministries, churches, lives, home, work places, in every area of our lives. We can not be so ready to give up we have to stay faith and walk up righteous before God, When we have team work is the most important thing because all gifts work together for a common cause.
