1 Kings 18:22 Then Elijah said to them, “I am the only one of the Lord’s prophets left, but Baal has four hundred fifty prophets”. 1 Kings 18:40 Then Elijah ordered them, “Seize the prophets of Baal! Do not let a single one escape.” So they seized them, & Elijah brought them down to the Kishon Valley & slaughtered them there. 1 Kings 19:2 Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying, ‘So may the gods do to me & more also, if I do not make your life as the life of one of them by this time tomorrow.’” 1 Kings 19:13-14 When Elijah heard the still small voice, he wrapped his face in his cloak & went out & stood at the mouth of the cave. Suddenly a voice came to him & said, “What are you doing here, Elijah?” “I have been very zealous for the LORD, the God of Hosts,” he replied, “but the Israelites have forsaken Your covenant, torn down Your altars, & killed Your prophets with the sword. I am the only one left, & they are seeking my life as well. — Have you ever had a great day of faith, believing & trusting God? Then following this you sink to an all time low? Elijah had destroyed 450 Baal prophets, now he is hiding out in a cave afraid of one woman, Jezebel! And what was the divine reply to him? Rom 11:4 says “I have reserved for Myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal.” God is always at work and His plan WILL come to pass. Fear can wreck havoc on your life! It is the one thing that we must overcome! When we put our trust in God, we will find that overcoming spirit! FEAR is nothing more than False Evidence Appearing Real! The creator is the only real thing that matters! Trust Him. Love Mel
