If the Lord felt it was important to send a special messenger to prepare Israel for Jesus’ first coming, how much more important is it for Him to send a special message and messengers to awaken the church for Jesus’ second coming—the very climax of redemption?

In the same way that the Lord empowered Elijah and John the Baptist to do a work of revival and preparation, God is today preparing an army of last-day Elijahs to do a great work of revival! The everlasting gospel777 invites you to be a part of delivering this great, end-time Elijah message—“to make ready a people prepared for the Lord” (Luke 1:17).

“Commit your way to the Lord, Trust also in Him, And He shall bring it to pass” (Psalm 37:5).

When a bride and groom stand before the minister, they make some very broad and permanent vows … promises that are meant to last forever. What gives them the confidence that they can fulfill these vows? They have a strong love and a deep sense of commitment. In the same way, when we make our baptismal vows we should understand that this means “In sickness and health, in prosperity and adversity, in the sunshine and the rain.” God’s church family will have many of the same highs and lows of any earthly family, but if we love Jesus and commit to love His people, it becomes a precious experience that will survive any trial.

"I think we sometimes underestimate how much God can do through one completely converted, committed Christian! Through the prayers and faith of one ordinary man, Elijah, the nation of Israel was turned back to God. The Bible promise is:

“The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much. Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain; and it did not rain on the land for three years and six months. And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth produced its fruit” (James 5:16–18).

King David also reminds us, “Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass” (Psalms 37:5, emphasis added).

Paul adds, “For I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day” (2 Timothy 1:12, emphasis added).

And of course, the example of complete commitment is Jesus. “Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously” (1 Peter 2:21–23, emphasis added).

Here is one of my favorite statements on commitment. It’s from Ellen G. White, one of our greatest Christian writers:

The greatest want of the world is the want of men—men who will not be bought or sold; men who in their inmost souls are true and honest; men who do not fear to call sin by its right name; men whose conscience is as true to duty as the needle to the pole; men who will stand for the right though the heavens fall.” —Education, p. 57

Dear friend, I’ve learned that with God’s help, a person can do almost anything he or she wants, if the desire is really there. I have also learned that where there is faith and hope, all things are possible to him that believes. If you truly desire and believe, you can survive and succeed in church as a vibrant, Spirit-filled Christian. However, without Jesus we will surely sink in the stormy times ahead. Friend, this is the only way to survive the tempest ahead: Have Jesus in your boat. Let Him take the ropes and rudder and He will lead you through the storms of life and safely bring you to heaven’s harbor. So, I implore you to make a firm commitment today … to ask Him to be your Captain, Lord and Savior and to fill you with His Spirit … and then faithfully follow Him wherever He leads.

You’ve read how God used Elijah to share His amazing grace—and the amazing results that followed. Now just imagine what millions of last-day Elijahs calling people to Jesus throughout the entire world will do. I hope and pray that you will be one of these. Why not join me now in making this pledge of commitment to Jesus by choosing to put your hand to the plow, holding tight, and never looking back?

But Ruth said: Entreat me not to leave you, Or to turn back from following after you; For wherever you go, I will go; And wherever you lodge, I will lodge; Your people shall be my people, And your God, my God. Where you die, I will die, And there will I be buried. The Lord do so to me, and more also, If anything but death parts you and me” (Ruth 1:15–17).

The burning desire of modern Elijahs will be to turn people to Jesus, that they might know Him and have everlasting life.
