*Pastor’s Note: A lot is going on in this world and in our nation. Political unrest, corruption. As the Apostle Paul wrote to Timothy, he stated that in the last days there will be distress of nations and perplexity. In other words, confusion and anxiety. However, this isn’t new in the world at all and our God had men of faith who confronted these things. Here’s an exhortation from Brother Charlie Cameron from his site, Learning from God’s Word on just this subject.

Also, please stop by and let them know you appreciate their ministry for us as well as for the Lord. While you’re there, check out their other articles. Remember, these teachings and exhortations are a sacrifice of praise and worship to the Lord! Give them a like and some encouragement!

1 Kings 16:29-18:16

Things were getting desperate: ‘Ahab did more to provoke the Lord, the God of Israel, to anger than all the kings of Israel who were before him’ (1 Kings 16:33). What did God do about this? How did He respond to this situation? God sent His prophet, a man who would stand up for God against Ahab. ‘When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against him’ (Isaiah 59:19). Where did Elijah come from? He came from God! All we know about Elijah’s early life is expressed in the words: ‘Elijah the Tishbite, of Tishbe in Gilead’. There is something else we know about him. He was a man of God. He was a man with a message, a man who spoke in the Name of the Lord the God of Israel’ (1 Kings 17:1). Things happened when Elijah was around. This was the Spirit of God at work – in power!
