Sunday AM Service - The Carmel Experience - 11/14/2021
Text: Colossians 2:14-23
1. Elijah was called of God to bring Israel out of Baal worship!
2. Carmel was a picture of true revival! The altar was a type of the cross
3. The fire was a type of the judgement of God that would fall on Christ when he hung on the cross
4. The people of Israel slew the false prophets!
5. 18:41 - "Sound of a abundance of rain" when the people were directed back to the cross the rain of the spirit could fall and it did!
6. 18:42-44 - Elijah cast himself down to the earth - TRUE HUMILITY
7. "There is nothing" - Seven times
8. "Seven" is God's number of perfection
9. The rain that was coming would be in proportion to God who was sending it
10. The rain will come from no where else! Revival is from above!
11. Even though the lord had promised, Elijah had to persevere in faith and prayer!
12. If we ask and do not receive, we ought to keep asking (Luke 11:6-13) "THERE WAS A GREAT RAIN"
The Cave
Jezebel sends a messenger to Elijah and threatens his life
After great victories - Satan always attacks!
The faith of yesterday cannot suffice for the need of today
We must have the RAIN on A DAILY BASIS! Yesterday's anointing don't work today!
Truth is Jezebel was more scared of Elijah than Elijah should have ever been of her! (CHILD OF GOD SAME!)
Fear seeks isolation as it did in Elijah's case and as it does in all those controlled by fear!
"Requested he might die" in a wilderness (19:5)
Even in this journey away from the will of God (nearly 500 miles road trip) God did not leave Elijah side - 19:5-7)
Many times we've taken same trip - and God has not forsaken us!
