FIRE FROM HEAVEN
We
are living in a time of spiritual warfare like no other. Witchcraft is
rampant, and just as in the days of Elijah, there are powers,
principalities and rulers of darkness trying to take authority over our
nation to no avail. There is a story in the bible about the prophet
Elijah confronting the prophets of Baal on Mount Carmel against their
false gods. Elijah invited 450 prophets of Baal to a challenge. He asked
them "How long will you waver between two opinions? If The Lord is God,
then follow Him". If Baal is God, then follow him". Elijah then told
them to make a sacrifice without a natural fire and the God who answers
by fire will prove to be God.
They
built an altar, slaughtered and cut oxen, then laid them on the wood of
the altar. Elijah told them to pray for their god to send fire to light
their sacrifice. The prophets of Baal prayed all day and night,
prophesied (false prophets) and even cut themselves to offer blood to
their god without success as Elijah mocked their false god. The next day
Elijah told them to pour water on the altar three times. When he called
on the Lord (Jehovah) God sent a fire and consumed all the water, the
sacrifice and the stones. When the people saw it, they fell on their
faces; and declared, "The Lord (Elohiym), He is God!
We
have authority over all the power of the enemy and nothing by any means
can harm us. Jesus is raising up godly men and woman who will speak
into the darkness and say "Let there be light" as we take the reins of
intercession to steer our country in the right direction. He is raising
up the Elijah's who will tear down the alters and confront the prophets
of Baal. We will then witness the inevitable supernatural intervention
and power of God in our Country, personal lives and ministries.
The
Lord says; I am about to demonstrate My power in a magnificent way in
the days ahead. I will release supernatural encounters that will cause
men to acknowledge My deity and experience My presence. This is the day
of unnatural occurrences when men will leave their religious traditions
and follow after truth. Do not fear or be intimidated by the prophets of
Baal, as their plans will not succeed. I am El Shaddai and I will show
Myself strong on your behalf. When you speak, it will not be with
persuasive words or mortal reasoning of mere men, but in demonstration
and power with signs following. The time has come for My glory to be
revealed.
I
will raise up those who know how to call down fire from heaven to
destroy the works of the enemy. I will train them how to thwart their
strategies and cancel their assignments. They will dismantle the enemy’s
works of destruction by the authority that I have given them. I will
teach them how to walk in divine wisdom and release revelation with keen
discernment. The sword of My word will be in their mouths because they
are unwavering in their faith and their strength is in Me. Supernatural
encounters and signs will follow those who believe and many shall be
used mightily in this season. Know your identity and be confident of who
you serve. You will then experience My glory released in an
unprecedented way in the days ahead, says the Lord.
1 Kings 18:36-39
And it came to pass, at the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice,
that Elijah the prophet came near and said, “Lord God of Abraham,
Isaac, and Israel, let it be known this day that You are God in Israel and I am Your servant, and that I have done all these things at Your word. Hear me, O Lord, hear me, that this people may know that You are the Lord
God, and that You have turned their hearts back to You again.”
Then the fire of the Lord fell and consumed the burnt sacrifice, and
the wood and the stones and the dust, and it licked up the water that was in the trench. Now when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces; and they said, “The Lord, He is God! The Lord, He is God!”
1 Corinthians 2:45
And
my speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human
wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, that your faith
should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.
