Confronting Powers That Be

Rain on PuddleKathy—Days of Elijah were times of confronting governmental powers that be.  Elijah showed up in 1 Kings 17 to confront the puppet king of Israel with a proclamation:  “I’m a servant of the living LORD, the God of Israel. And I swear in his name that it won’t rain until I say so.  There won’t even be any dew on the ground.”  Beyond the forecast of a drought, it had to unnerve King Ahab that a man would get in his face and tell him, “I have the say so over your domain and over the weather warfare of your storm god, because I represent the higher government of God Almighty.”  In these days of Elijah, whether we are dealing with dark forces at work against our home or community or region or nation or other realms, we can take a stand when we are convinced and confident that Almighty God is backing us.  


He Breaks the Drought of Hopelessness

cloudAs the people of God assemble today may they encourage one another that where there is no cloud of provision there can be a cloud the size of a man’s hand the next time they go look and that the time they look after that, they can experience the rain of plenty provision that breaks the drought of hopelessness. “…and there was a heavy rain.” (1K.18:45a)


Clouds And Drought

rain and cloudClear skies usually signify good times, but clear skies are not a positive when rain is desperately needed.  Cloudy skies are welcomed when they signal the end of a drought.  If the drought is financial, rain means money is coming with relief.  If the drought is a matter of heated circumstances that are daily burning possibilities and potential, then rain is welcomed change.  If the drought has dried up the life flow of former relationships or any hope of new ones, then the rain means restoration and new streams.
