Is there a specific situation where you found yourself standing alone for Jesus? How did you feel and respond?
How do you think you would feel if every Christian abandoned the faith and you had to stand alone in your commitment to Jesus?
Wednesday we took a look at 1 Kings 18:16-40, here we found Elijah facing enormous odds. The Israelites had rejected God in favor of Baal and his 450 prophets. So what does Elijah do? He challenges Baal and his prophets to a contest with God. A pretty bold move, but Elijah was confident in his knowledge of God’s reality and power. So up on Mount Carmel, as the 450 prophets of Baal frantically tried everything to Baal to answer until they were exhausted, then God revealed his power, the all the Israelites fell and cried “The Lord, he is God! The Lord, he is God!” (1Kings18:39)
What are the “Mount Carmel” situations you face?
In what ways are God’s power and reality challenged there?
How can you , like Elijah, rely on God’s power in that situation?
Make a list of every situation where you fell weak, then read 2 Corinthians 12:7-10 to see how
God’s power can flow through us.
God’s power can flow through us.
