About this sermon

Andrew Wommack’s Daily TV program: Gospel Truth To subscribe to Andrew’s email newsletter: http://www.awmi.net/youtube-subscribe/ This series is lessons from Elijah. 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. 00:26 Today is the end in our teaching with Elijah. Our helpline is closed because of our annual organizational picnic honoring the ministry which is incorporated in July 26, 1978.

Therefore you shall not come down from the bed to which you have gone up, but you shall surely die’ ” ’ ” (2 King 1:6). 05:10 Upon finding out what Elijah had prophesied, King Ahaziah sent his soldiers down to take Elijah captive. The soldiers where consumed with fire from heaven for Elijah, the man of God had called for it. (2 King 1:9-10). 08:08 (Luke 9:52-56) In Jesus ministry, He went to the city of Samaria. The people would not accept nor allowed Him to come in to their city, because He was headed for Jerusalem which the Samaritan hated the Jews in Jerusalem. 11:00 There is still consequences to our sin even though God may not bring His judgment, our sin is an open invitation for the devil to come do us worst. 13:01 The angel of the Lord told Elijah to go with King Ahaziah’s messenger, that God will protect him. He spoke to King Ahaziah face to face, then the King died as Elijah prophesied. Elijah was never endanger from the very beginning. This is the difference between the old and our new covenant today. The standard hasn’t change, but we don’t go out stone homosexual, adulterer, fornicator, liar, murderer, people who disobey God because Jesus paid these punishments for us today. 15:30 Elisha would not leave Elijah (2 Kings 2:2-3) so they went to Jericho. Elijah asked what Elisha wanted. Elisha asked a double portion of his spirit (2 Kings 2:9-10), which he received upon the condition Elijah set. 18:35 Again they went to Jordan where they have to cross a river. “Now Elijah took his mantle, rolled it up, and struck the water; and it was divided this way and that, so that the two of them crossed over on dry ground “ (2 Kings 2:8). This is very similar of what Moses did as he parted the red sea, similar to what Joshua did as they enter into the promise land. 21:41 In summary, Elijah failed in many things, yet by God’s grace (not by what he did) he was able to call for fire, parted the sea, and was taken up to heaven. One lesson we can learn from this is regardless of what failure we have there is still another chance; we can still walk with God. Elijah did under an inferior covenant; surely we can because we have a better covenant through Jesus Christ. ============================================ 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/3SoEzyswBWs
