Foundation Scripture:
Also [Jesus] told them a parable to the effect that they ought always to pray and not to turn coward (faint, lose heart, and give up). Luke 18:1 AMPC
The Word of the Lord.
Let’s look back at the past nine years.
October 2008 – Phoenix, Arizona.
Tell the Church to speak to the sun.
One more hour of daylight.
Answered Prayer.
The Lord has heard our cry:
Set back the plans of the enemy.
Pull the wheels off of Pharaoh’s chariots.
Total confusion in the camp of the wicked.
If the enemy digs a ditch, he will fall into it himself.
That total confusion would be wreaked in the camp of the wicked.
That the enemy would turn on themselves like a dog on its own tail.
That every wicked thing would be exposed.
That the Lord would have mercy on America one more time.
Another Great Spiritual Awakening.
God is moving.
Let’s look at what’s been happening.
It’s as though all hell has broken loose for the world.
The gods of America are being brought down.
Government exposed – Republican/Democrat.
NFL.
Hollywood.
Media.
Turning Back to God.
When the idols and the false gods of America fail, then people will begin to turn back to the true God.
James 5:13-18 KJV – “Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms. 14 Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: 15 And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him. 16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. 17 Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months. 18 And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit.”
Our prayers are working.
Elijah prayed.
1 Kings 18:17-39
Verses 36-39 KJV - “And it came to pass at the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, that Elijah the prophet came near, and said, Lord God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel, let it be known this day that thou art God in Israel, and that I am thy servant, and that I have done all these things at thy word. 37 Hear me, O Lord, hear me, that this people may know that thou art the Lord God, and that thou hast turned their heart back again. 38 Then the fire of the Lord fell, and consumed the burnt sacrifice, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench. 39 And when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces: and they said, The Lord, he is the God; the Lord, he is the God.”
The fire fell.
The fire is falling now on America.
Everything that can be shaken, will be shaken.
Mocking the Prophets of Baal.
It’s time for the Church, in the spirit of Elijah, to mock the false gods and their prophets.
For too long, they have mocked the Church – the Body of Christ.
The politicians, the sports stars, the Hollywood actors, the media moguls – have mocked the Church.
They have mocked us concerning provision and resources.
Promoting the idea that wealth is the domain of the ungodly, and that the godly should expect to be poor.
Promoting the idea that only the wicked should be in leadership/government.
They have told us to be quiet – to say nothing and do nothing.
Enough is enough – you will not mock us any longer.
The Body of Christ – an Army – is rising up!
The Lord is answering prayer.
He will not be mocked.
He is the God who answers by fire.
When Almighty God Shows Up.
The showdown.
The mocking of the false gods and their prophets.
Re-building the altar.
Pray.
God answers by fire and destroys the altars of the wicked.
Judgment.
Then Elijah prayed and the rains came.
