🎺”ELIJAHS” IT’S TIME to ARISE, SHINE & PROPHESY!🔥

In 1 Kings 18, we see a PICTURE of SPIRITUAL WARFARE on a NATIONAL LEVEL! We find the PROPHET ELIJAH standing against the “kingdom” and “prophets” of BAAL in ORDER to DEMONSTRATE WHOSE GOD was the REAL GOD!

King AHAB and his wife QUEEN JEZEBEL were the wicked rulers over ISRAEL at this time, while a RIGHTEOUS KING REIGNED in JUDAH. The NATION was DIVIDED! AHAB worshipped BAAL and his wife JEZEBEL and did whatever JEZEBEL said to do. JEZEBEL was a REBELLIOUS WOMAN, SEDUCTRESS, and was FULL of IDOLATRY. AHAB was the FIGUREHEAD, but JEZEBEL was the ONE BEHIND the SCENES “pulling the strings” plotting GREAT EVIL and KILLING the PROPHETS of THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY!

While Jezebel hunted down and killed the prophets, ELIJAH was PRESERVED by ALMIGHTY GOD. In the course of time, things came to a HEAD, and ELIJAH issued a CHALLENGE to those who WORSHIPPED & SERVED BAAL.

The CHALLENGE was ACCEPTED, altars were constructed, and an AGREEMENT was made between BOTH SIDES that ONLY the TRUE GOD would CONSUME the SACRIFICE that was PLACED on the ALTARS. SPECIFICALLY, the TRUE GOD would ANSWER by FIRE!

WATER was POURED out upon ELIJAHS ALTAR, and also IN the TRENCH around it so that THERE WOULD be NO DOUBT that ONLY SUPERNATURAL FIRE would BE ABLE to CONSUME the SACRIFICE!

The STAGE was SET: YAHWEH vs. BAAL

On one side representing the kingdom of darkness and Baal were Jezebel, Ahab, and the “prophets” of Baal. On the other side was the PROPHET ELIJAH, the Tishbite who served The GOD of Abraham, Issac, and Jacob (ISRAEL). GOD ALMIGHTY! YAHWEH! The GREAT I AM.

The ancients believed BAAL was the god of power, passion, sexuality, and wealth. Those who worshipped BAAL would often cut themselves to let blood out and/or would utilize human sacrifices as a means to ask this “god” to do their bidding.

The LORD GOD ALMIGHTY needs NO INTRODUCTION! HIS REPUTATION, GLORY, and FAME are ENDLESS!

But..THE PEOPLE of THE NATION were UNDECIDED which SIDE they WERE ON!

Then ELIJAH posed a POIGNANT QUESTION to the PEOPLE of THE NATION..“HOW LONG WILL you WAVER between TWO OPINIONS?!”

In other words, HOW LONG will YOU REMAIN LUKEWARM toward YAHWEH, THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY? CHOOSE THIS DAY if YOU WILL SERVE ALMIGHTY GOD, or BAAL (your false gods & idols)!!!

The “WORSHIP SERVICE” BEGAN...

NOTHING HAPPENED when the “prophets” of Baal cried out to their god, BUT when ELIJAH CRIED OUT, YAHWEH, the LIVING GOD, the GOD of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob DID ANSWER! HE CONSUMED the SACRIFICE with SUPERNATURAL FIRE, for HE IS an ALL CONSUMING FIRE!! 🔥🔥🔥

THE QUESTION REMAINS...WHERE are the “ELIJAHS” of the LAND?

Things have looked STEEPED in DARKNESS, and FOR a SEASON it LOOKED like JEZEBEL was SUCCESSFUL in SILENCING the PROPHETIC VOICES, BUT THERE is COMING a CHANGE!!!

I SEE ELIJAHS coming FORTH for SUCH a TIME as THIS CALLING the CHURCH out of LUKEWARMNESS, and CONFRONTING the KINGDOM of DARKNESS and the “PROPHETS” of BAAL!

These “ELIJAHS” are WALKING in a MANTLE of POWERFUL PRAYER, PROPHETIC PROCLAMATION, and SUPERNATURAL FIRE of GOD, BINDING the works of DARKNESS, and ADVANCING the KINGDOM of GOD on EARTH as IT is IN HEAVEN!

ARISE and SHINE MIGHTY“ELIJAHS” of GOD for SUCH a TIME AS THIS!

“So Ahab sent for all the children of Israel and gathered the prophets together on Mount Carmel. And Elijah came to all the people, and said, “How long will you waver between two opinions? If the Lord is God, follow Him; but if Baal, follow him.” But the people answered him not a word.” - 1 Kings 18:20-21

I HEAR the SPIRIT of GOD SAYING to the CHURCH, and even to the NATION: “HOW LONG will YOU WAVER BETWEEN TWO OPINIONS?

“EITHER FOLLOW the LORD GOD ALMIGHTY (THE LORD JESUS CHRIST) or FOLLOW BAAL (Satan/lucifer and his kingdom)!”

“CHOOSE THIS DAY WHOM YOU WILL SERVE!!”
