Learning through experience definitely makes an impression. We can all learn from hard knocks, but it’s a lot less painful to learn by example. First Corinthians 10:6 and 11 say that the experiences of those in the Bible were recorded for our examples. Elijah’s story is full of great examples, both good and bad. 00:08 Continues the series on lessons from Elijah summarizing the first three weeks of teachings talking about Elijah successes. 01:43 Elijah intimidated by Jezebel who sent a note threatening to kill him (1King 19:2). Jezebel wanted Elijah dead but she can’t because of the possibility to be overthrown by nations who have turn to God; therefore she resorted in threat and intimidations. This is comparable to the devil that would like to kill us but can’t. The devil has to seek whom he may devour (1 Peter 5:8) but the only people he can devour are those who are afraid, intimidated and yield to him in fear. 02:46 Elijah ran (1 King 19:3). God appeared to him asking “What are you doing here, Elijah? (1 King 19:9)”. If Elijah has humbled himself and repented, things would have been different but instead he placed the blame everywhere else. 03:44 Obadiah had told Elijah that there are still hundred of prophets hiding in the caves (1 King 18:13) but he discounted them (the prophets) telling the Lord he is the only one (1 King 19:10). We are unsure of the reason but he knew that there are still prophets other than him that are faithful to God. 04:21 God let Elijah retake his test. Anytime God ask you to retake the test because you gave the wrong answer the first time. But Elijah came up with the same answer still blame other people saying to God that he is the only one - the only one having the revelation, the only one serving God, the only one doing anything. Andrew called it an “Elijah syndrome” which is an error and not true. We are not the only one that God could use, given revelation to and doing anything for and serving God. 0645 Nobody is indispensable. Andrew gave an example about the time he and his friend had to separate clearly God’s will. He was hesitant to say something to his friend who had helped him tremendously in the ministry because he doesn’t want to hurt his feelings but God reminded him that no one is indispensable. If you don’t do what I ask you to do, I will get someone else. 07:39 How did God respond to Elijah. He was gracious to Elijah giving him couple chances. God gave Elijah three things to do (1 King 19:15-16), but only does one of the three, anointed Elisha to take his place. 11:24 David Barton, Founder of WallBuilders joined up with Andrew to open up a new Practical Government School in Charis Bible College training students how to get involved in our government to make a difference. 13:14. Andrew Encourage by God moving rising up people not only in the past but also now in our government because in his last visit to DC while attending David Barton’s event, he has seen political Godly officials talking to him. He believes in his heart that we are living in the greatest revival that the world has ever seen. 17:25 We got stories in our website that you can go and see people who has been in wheelchairs that are now running, people that doctors said are dead that were healed, people with brain damaged that should have been in vegetative states that were healed and alive. 18:12 The point is that it is not true that we are the only ones left. Andrew believes that we are living in a great day; it’s just that we are listening to the ten spies network. Even among Christians often amplifying saying negative things, talking about how bad things are. 19:35 Elijah failed in two thirds of the things God had told him to do. The only thing he did is anoint his successor indicative of him just wanting out, ready to quit, ready to give up. 22:00 Today when people are called into ministry it’s never totally a broad side of things that they are prepared for. Elisha was ready for what God has called him but instead of going back and staying with his family he burnt his bridges behind him and ran after Elijah becoming his servant ============================================ Andrew Wommack Ministries http://www.awmi.net/ https://www.facebook.com/AWMinistries https://twitter.com/andrewwommack https://instagram.com/andrewwommack/ https://www.pinterest.com/andrewwommack/ ====================================================== https://youtu.be/Bf_-I4Mbubk
