Elijah - Man of GOD

Prophet of Miracles, Signs and Wonders

1.     I Kings 16

2.   I Kings 16: 31 – Ahab took a wife named Jezebel – and he went and served Baal and worshipped him.

3.     I Kings 16:33 - Ahab did more to provoke the LORD GOD of Israel to anger than all the kings of Israel before him.

4.     I Kings 17 – The LORD raised up Elijah in response to Ahab’s decisions to worship Baal. GOD will raise up (not men) those with an "Elijah Mantle" in response to those in authority who provoke HIS anger by their decisions of unrighteousness, un-holiness, and idol worship. Idol worship is defined as worshipping anything or anyone instead of the MOST HIGH GOD! How you spend your time and what you think about defines what you worship. You alone define what or who you worship....no one else. You can be guaranteed that sooner or later the idol will betray you. Idols such as alcohol, nicotine, food, occult practices, witchcraft, pagan gods, control, manipulation, greed, pornography, money, fame, status, people, possessions....to mention a few.

5.     I Kings 17:1 - 1st Miracle – Drought – The rain stopped. Elijah spoke the word of the LORD and the rain stopped for 3.5 years.. The LORD empowered Elijah with HIS authority.

6.    I Kings 17:5 – Elijah went and did according to the word of the LORD. He heard. He obeyed. Obedience sustained his life.

7.     I Kings 17:6 - 2nd Miracle – Fed Bread and Meat by the Ravens – The LORD spoke to Elijah how he was going to be provided for and Elijah ate what the LORD provided.

8.     I Kings 17:14 - 3rd Miracle – Fed by the widow (meal and oil). The LORD spoke to Elijah, then Elijah to the widow. Both of their lives were sustained by hearing the voice of the LORD and walking in obedience.

9.     I Kings 17:22 - 4th Miracle – Raised child from the dead- took child to Upper room – separated himself from widow’s unbelief – prayed – heard voice of the LORD – child restored to mother.

10. I Kings 18

11.  I Kings 18:28 – Cutting selves – form of occult, satanic, pagan god worship.

12. I Kings 18:38 – 5th Miracle – Consuming Fire of GOD from heaven – burned from heaven down not earth upward.  Means GOD is consuming us from heaven downward – all was consumed, nothing was left (the wood, the stones, the water, the sacrifice – all).

13.  I Kings 18:41 – Man of Prayer, Man of humility – bowed to the ground. Stayed in a position of humility and prayer until the miracle came – seven times he prayed.

14.  I Kings 18:45 – 6th Miracle – Rain Came.

15.  I Kings 18:46 – 7th Miracle – He ran about 30 miles and arrived before the horse and the chariot that Ahab was riding. “The Hand of the LORD came upon him” – so when I pray for the hand of the LORD to come upon you it is so you will walk in supernatural strength and in miracles, signs and wonders.

16.  I Kings 19 

17.  I Kings 19:3 – Elijah flees from Jezebel – runs from evil and death threat.

18.  I Kings 19:5-8 - 8th miracle – Fed by an angel twice (cake and water) – lived forty days on these two meals. For those of you that have fasted 40 days you know that you can be sustained by the LORD for a forty day fast. Moses also had a forty-day fast as did JESUS.

19.  I Kings 19:11-14 – The LORD’s revelation to Elijah – in the cave.  Sometimes we run into the cave (a secret place in the LORD) to hide from Jezebel (the spirit of control, manipulation, seduction) to seek the voice of the LORD GOD, to be encouraged and comforted by HIM. Moses went to the cave to see the Glory of the LORD. 

20.  I Kings 19:15-16 – The LORD’s commission to Elijah – Anoint Jehu as king over Israel and anoint Elisha as prophet in your place. True Prophets of GOD are given authority by the LORD to establish leadership and to establish prophetic voices in the house of the LORD.

21.  I Kings 21

22.  I Kings 21:17-24 – 9th Miracle – Elijah announces doom on Ahab and Jezebel – It is very easy to get caught up in the “GOD is going to be Victorious”…..yet knowing that GOD is long-suffering and will extend HIS mercy over and over and over – often much longer than we might think HE should….we must step back and trust GOD’s movement in people’s lives and not move on our own initiative.

23. I Kings 21:28-29 – 10th Miracle – Elijah promises respite to Ahab because Ahab humbled himself before the LORD.  Still the curse comes to his son and his household.

24.  I Kings 21:49 – 11th Miracle – Elijah sends letter proclaiming a plague upon Jehoshaphat, then he and his family died. (II Chronicles 21:12)

25.  II Kings

26.  II Kings 1:3 – 12th miracle – Elijah predicts Ahaziah’s death through the word of angel.

27.  II Kings 1: 9-14 – 13th and 14th Miracles – Elijah brings down fire from heaven and 102 people were killed.

28.  II Kings 2 – Revelation of Elijah’s translation – 

29.  II Kings 2:8 – 15th Miracle – Elijah parts the river Jordan with his mantle.

30.  II Kings 2:11 – 16th Miracle – Chariot of fire and horses of fire came and took Elijah in a whirlwind and his mantle was released to Elisha.
