Elijah lived in a great day of Apostasy in Israel. King Ahab and Jezebel were Baal worshipers! The centerpiece of Baal worship was child sacrifice! Much like abortion in America today! However Elijah did not have a 501c tax exemption! He spoke some prophetic words over Ahab and Jezebel that were not nice! Like the dogs will lick your blood and there will not be enough left of you to bury! However Elijah started off with a drought predicted for the King! How would the 21st century prophets respond to Ahab and abortion? Maybe something like this? Ahab you are going to be rich and wealthy! Prosperity will be everywhere you look! You will be blessed, successful and famous! Peace will dominate your realm! Your lovely wife Jezebel is such a blessing to us! Ahab our ministry is growing everyday and a suggested donation of 30 pieces of silver would grant you God’s favor and we would pray for you! Elijah stuck with God’s word and Ahab sent his army after him! God sent Elijah to a remote area where a small stream provided water! This brook drained into the Jordan River. Then God set up a bird feeder for him! I might have complained here? Ravens are scavengers and are road kill specialists! The prophetic word that caused the drought caused the small stream to dry up! So God sent him to a widom and her son for supplies? She warmly received him and told him they have enough supplies for one meal then we can all die! Elijah told her the provisions would last through the drought! Then the widow’s son gets sick and dies? The widow blames Elijah for his death? I would have lost it here! You no good low down and i cannot finish the sentence here! Elijah keeps his cool and focuses on the real problem the dead son! Elijah raises the son from the dead! So what was the widow’s testimony? “Now i know you are a man of God and that the word of God is in your mouth and that it is truth!” Elijah and Moses with Jesus stood at the Mount of Transfiguration! Elijah was taken up to Heaven and did not physically die! At the Mount Elijah represented the Prophets. Moses the law and Jesus the Prophet, Priest and King! As Easter approaches our Pastor Cope is helping us to look at some of the resurrection documents prior to the incarnation of Jesus Christ! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com

Facts about Elijah 1st & 2nd Kings
Why did Elijah order a 3 year drought for King Ahab and Queen Jezebel? Why so long? Why not order an earthquake and get it over with? Baal was worshiped by Ahab and Jezebel and was supposed to be the god of rain, thunder, lightning and dew! Remember Elijah told them they would not even see dew! So this was the challenge Elijah with Jehovah God to Baal. Elijah was challenging the Priestess Jezebel and her priests of Baal who brought idol worship to Israel! Also remember Jezebel was the daughter of King Sidon of Phoenicia the Headquarters for Baal worship! Remember where the widow was from who helped Elijah in the drought? She lived in Zarephatho Phoenicia! So God sent Elijah to the enemies camp for safety! Our enemies are all around us yet God keeps us safe! I have experienced with 3 years in India that every false god whether Hindu, Sikh or Muslim must bow down to Jesus! Now is the time to share with you about American culture. Satan is a crafty devil so how does he deceive the masses of people here in America? He will not name himself as a god but will mask himself as junk science! Evolution is the junk science millions of school children are taught in our public schools as science! That way he cannot be challenged as a god! Since God does not exist the end of the debate! So the children graduate from our schools high school and college brain washed into believing there is no God! We have to attack the junk science that is why i have started a series called Science and Faith! Did you know Elijah is mentioned in the Quran and also Jesus! We will cover this later but don’t get too excited about it! It tries to debunk Christianity! Thankyou. James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
Hall of Fame! 1 Kings 17:1
Is there a Hall of Fame in Heaven? Who is going to be in it? Will you be in it or will you be on the J.V. Team? Will God have to enroll you in remedial courses? Will the martyr’s be there? Will the servants of all be there? Some are probably thinking if i can just get my foot in the door! O’ you of little Faith! There is a Faith Hall of Fame! Elijah was a Prophet of Israel who went to King Ahab and told him he was a jerk! Elijah did not worry about losing his 501c tax benefit for his ministry! His ministry was not about collecting money! Great leaders could care less about money but will sacrifice their lives for the benefit of the people! Martin Luther King is one of those men i have witnessed in my life time! King Ahab married Jezebel who was basically a witch! She had a lot of brooms in her closet! They together had raised up an altar to Baal worship in Israel. Baal worship was sacrificial child worship like abortion is today in America! Elijah told Ahab there would be no rain in Israel until this stopped! Remember Elijah and all Israel was going to suffer in this drought! Great leaders are willing to suffer! However God sends Elijah to a brook that feeds the Jordon river and sends a raven to him to bring food daily! After the brook dried up God sends Elijah to a widow and her small son! Elijah asks the widow for food and she gladly obliges telling him she was preparing her last meal so they could all die! God does a miracle and keeps food in her pantry! Then her son gets sick to death and she blames Elijah? Elijah prays and the little boy recovers! The widow finally proclaims Elijah is a man of God and speaks truth! Elijah’s prominence among the Old Testament Prophets is seen in the fact that the forerunner of Christ, John the Baptist, was to come in the Spirit and Power of Elijah! Elijah representing the Prophets and Moses representing the Law stood with Jesus on the Mount of Transfiguration! Thankyou. James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
