Elijah, was a mighty prophet before the Lord and his miracles seemed almost non-human as we are going to see. Yet the bible says this about him:
Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed fervently that it might not rain, and for three years and six months it did not rain on the earth. James 5: 17 (ESV).
Because Elijah was also a man just like you and I, the Lord Jesus has asked me to use his story to open your eyes to what can happen during a season of revival.
We are going to see that after performing a mighty miracle of making fire to come down from heaven, instead of good things coming to him, like the fairy tales “and they lived happily thereafter”, instead we will find Elijah in a cave, exhausted and wanting to die.
The bible says this about this time:
And there he went into a cave, and spent the night in that place; and behold, the word of the Lord came to him, and He said to him, “What are you doing here, Elijah?” (1 Kings 19: 9, NKJV)
How did Elijah, mighty prophet of revival come to be in a cave so exhausted?
In the year that Elijah the prophet “suddenly” appeared before the king of Israel, sin had fully matured and God was finally ready to take judgment but to see this, I will share a little bit of bible history to build you up to how evil fully matures.
