| Like Elijah Ministry We want to go out "Like Elijah!" |
Then it came about as they were going along & talking, that behold, there appeared a chariot of fire & horses of fire which separated the two of them, & Elijah went up by a whirlwind to heaven. 2 Kings 2:11 |
| Go Out Like Elijah With a whirlwind to fuel my chariot of fire And when I look back on the stars It'll be like a candlelight in Central Park And it won't break my heart to say goodbye Rich Mullins "Elijah" |

| WHAT ARE WE DOING HERE? (written by AUTHOR UNKNOWN and Melody) When visiting the optometrist or dentist there is an occasion when they tell us to be still. We don't argue with them or become defiant, we just do it. Why? We would be foolish to ignore their instructions, an accidental poke in the eye or slip of the drill or needle. So why are we not as cooperative in matters of spiritual stillness? God considers rest so important that He built it into the rhythm of life. Without rest we can’t see clearly; we begin to see ourselves as more important than we are. After Elijah’s stressful confrontation with Ahab and Jezebel, he ran himself into a state of exhaustion. God sent an angel to care for him. (1 Kings 19:9) During a time of stillness, “the word of the Lord came to him.” “WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE, ELIJAH?” (1 Kings 19:10) He replied, “I have been very zealous for the Lord God Almighty. The Israelites have rejected your covenant, torn down your altars, and put your prophets to death with the sword. I am the ONLY ONE left, and now they are trying to kill me too.” Elijah thought HE ALONE was doing God’s work. He had been so zealous that he didn’t know that (1 Kings 19:18) 7,000 in Israel—all whose knees had not bowed down to Baal There are two points I'd like to close up with. Without rest we cannot be spiritually or physically healthy. God heals while we rest. Christ never asks of us such busy labor, that leaves no time for resting at His feet. The waiting attitude of expectation, He often counts a service most complete. Our greatest strength may be our ability to stand still and trust God. Rest, so that God can keep your spiritual vision clear. (From Melody...I have to admit, I haven't always seen to many exhausted from their work for the Lord - isn't it a rule 'that we always get done what we want to do?') AND......we have to realize we're not doing this ON OUR OWN! Others have went before us to PLANT, WATER or HARVEST THE SEED. Within 1 Corinthians 3 it talks about ONE person planting the seed and ONE person watering the seed BUT that it is GOD who makes it grow! WITHOUT GOD WE CAN DO NOTHING! Without YOU back home PRAYING for the doors to be blown off their hinges so that we can walk through....or YOU who share financially so that we can minister to the LOST......or YOU who encourage us through words to NOT GIVE UP! |
