Two opinions

"And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? if the Lord be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word" (1 Kings 18:21 KJV). Israel was led by a king who gave himself over to the lust of the flesh. This king was morally lost by ungodliness and blinded by the so called gods of this world. King Ahab was the worst of all the kings of Israel. He was careless, and he did not care about the children of God. He led them into worshiping false idols, man-made gods, which he put all over the city and throughout the land. However, God did not take His eyes off His children. He saw a great need to bring them back to their first love. God will always begin to place things back in order and position His people for the great rain. The prophet Elijah heard the call of God and obeyed His very word. Now after 3 1/2 years without rain, he heard God call him once again to come against the false prophets that were in the land. God was about to demonstrate His power from on high through fire that would consume the sacrifice, the wood, and the water that would be placed upon the altar. Nothing is impossible for God! He is able to move and bring rain to a land and His children. In order for Him to do so, He is looking for men and women that desire His rain. Many people are content and relaxed with the spiritual drought we are in. Many in the church don't see the need for God's rain in the land. However, God found Elijah who was willing to hear and do what God called him to do. "Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months. And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit" (James 5:17, 18 KJV). Are you willing to pray also? God bless you. Amen
