Turn the Hearts of People 1 Kings 18:36-45
Joke....plane losing engines.... 4 clergy on board....I'd rather have 4 good engines
sometimes we would rather have the earthly things than the heavenly
such was the case for King Ahab
Ahab, married Jezebel from a neighboring tribe
build a temple to the baals
allowed their prophets in, sought to kill the prophets of the Lord
Elijah..it will not rain [drought] for the next several years, unless I say so
Ahab chased, Elijah hid
The it was time..meet me at Mt. Carmel... bring the prophets of Baal
baal's prophets tried the sacrifice
Elijah mocks the prophets
Elijah calls on the Lord
The point of this event was that God wanted to turn the hearts of the people back
Ahab seems at this point to be a passive participant
Elijah is happy....I hear the sound of an abundant rain
go check the horizon...7 time...cloud like a man'shand
you all go home so that you don't get stopped y the rain
Idols are easy to worship....you can see them, touch them
but serving them gets in the way of serving the Lord
what is the good news for today
that God will bless us if we service him? there will never be a drought?
materially....maybe, but probably not
knowing and being with the Lord is all that matters
If your soul is dry, and you feel like you are in a drought
choose to return to him....there is a thunder booming in the distance
You don't have to be perfect
His desire is to pour blessing upon you...the blessing of himself
Woods Chapel Church....good things in store
Let us pray
