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.

  • God want us to have Faith in him, trust the process. Amen

  • The same thing that apply then apply now just have to faith an believe an trust that he will
  • Elijah had great faith in God to know if He said it thats what was going to happen. Even when it didn't happen quick his faith did not waiver.  We too have to have that type of faith. Although i may not see it now keep looking its coming.

  • This Scripture is the epitemy of "Mounting up on wing's".It had to be the spirit of the Lord that came apoun Elijah in order for him to run ahead of a chariot
    .I want the Lord to show his glory through me like that.
  • LEARNING TO TRUST GOD FULLY WOW AND THOSE HE HAS PLACED IN OUR LIVES TO LEAD US AND GUIDE US IN THE WAY THAT WE SHOULD GO. I THINK THAT OVER TIME THROUGH OUT TEST TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS WE LEARN HOW TO TRUST AND BELIEVE IN GOD LIKE AND WE BEGIN TO REALIZE THERE IS NO TURNING BACK SO IT IS BEST THAT WE TRUST AND OBEY THE PROCESS WE ARE EMPOWERED EACH TIME WE DO THIS
  • Wow, the power of God's spoken word is so amazing. Speak those thing that are not as though they are and watch what God can make happen.

  • Amen God is something else he really will gives us what we want according to our faith and obedients and we should know God always going to keep his promises.
  • The five fold in unity accomplishes great things and is a gift from the heavenly realm. It is a clarion call and a warring response.
  • I noticed that the number 7 is a theme when God is doing things for his people.  Elijah was always obedient and made sure he did what God told him to do.  I learned that when God tells you to do something, you do it.  Your failure to do it could cause you to be cursed instead of blessed.  Since Elijah was obedient, the Lord propel him ahead of Ahab all the way to Jezreel.
