The story of Elijah is an amazing and profound statement of one mans faith in God. Elijah takes on the prophets of Baal and Asherah and challenges them. The Lord answers Elijah's prayer! (Check out the full story in 1 Kings 18)
However I want to send a little "high five" Elijahs way. Here is a man that was THE LAST PROPHET of the Lord, the one and only, no one else around, no one to help keep him accountable, no one to laugh with, cry with, pray with, confide in... only one left. Elijah stood for the Lord, and the Lord blessed him. This fires me up, not only cause Elijah stood up and defended his belief in God but because he had no help doing it. It makes me wonder if everyone with like faith would band together and stand for up for our belief in God what would happen? If all of us would have the same fire, the same passion for God what could be done? How many people need to know about God and His unconditional love for us, His mercy, His grace, the hope that he gives... if we stand up and have faith that God is with us, think of the impact on this country we could have. This challenges me and humbles me because I can only imagine how much courage that takes...
Whats holding us back?
Elijah was one man... we have thousands and millions to help encourage and push eachother onward.
We need an Elijah effect!!!
