“Who’s in Charge?” (Part 2)
1 Kings 19
There is a small still Voice in every believer’s life. We see today that Elijah must press on through difficulties, to intercede on the behalf of the nation of Israel, even though they have fallen in the throws of Baal worship. Elijah is learning to praying until that which was spoken and heard in the supernatural comes to pass in the natural. The role of prophet encompasses the release of the prophetic word, believing for the advancement of that word and interceding until that word breaks through into the natural. In this case, Elijah hears the “sound of abundance of rain” (1 Ki 19:41), exactly what is needed to end a three- and half-year long drought. We also notice the drought did not end with Elijah killing the 850 prophets of Baal and calling down fire from heaven! It ends by pressing into intercession, by believing and praying the drought ends. And get this, it’s not over, Elijah then ends up on the run, Jezebel threatens his life, and he goes into hiding. Elijah wants to end his own life! But the Lord finds him in a cave, and he is encouraged by the Lord to complete that which was planted in him; God reveals Himself not in earthquakes, wind and fire, but He speaks to him in a delicate, whispering voice. Elijah returns to the wilderness encouraged, he is holding three more assignments involving the kings of two nations and the name of man who will be his own replacement.

NEW BOOK OFFER: For a donation to our ministry of any amount we will send you Dr. Nichols’ book postage paid: “Who’s In Charge?”
This book will challenge you to rethink your view of Christian leadership. The message of the book is that when teachers are leading, the church is all about doctrinal disputes, identifying heretics, and maintain the status quo. When apostles are leading, the lost are saved, churches are planted, sick bodies are healed, demons are cast out, and the Gospel advances into new territory.
