What Do You Do When You Can’t Make it Rain? (Part 1)
1 Kings 17:1-7
Elijah was sent by Yahwah to tell Ahab that no rain would fall in Israel for 42 months.
He goes to the king and tells him “Yahwah is judging you, No More Rain.”
Yahwah backs him up
Elijah had no idea the drought would severely affect his life.
He drank from the brook Cherith, unaffected by this drought Soon even that dried up and Elijah was suffering the consequences of his own victory!
Elijah spent the next 3 and a half years waiting for rain.
I.) WE NEED MORE INSTRUCTION ON WAITING THAN WE DO ON MIRACLES.
During the drought, Elijah was refreshed by a brook called Cherith and was supplied with food by ravens. (PP) The brook eventually dried up, and the ravens retired (at least from the fast-food business).
Elijah needed a miracle called rain.
Elijah may have asked for rain but Yahwah's season for it had not come.
We believe in Yahwah's Miracle Working Power.
We spent more time waiting for the miracle than actually seeing it.
We think We Know what WE Want.
YAHWAH’S PLAN IS PERFECT.
Elijah learned a TRUTH.
* We need Yahwah's direction more than His mighty works.
* The key to getting Yahwah’s answer is being committed to His Word.
* You CAN’T "make it rain,"
* You CAN set your heart to hear the Word of Yahwah.
Proverbs 3:5-6
Psalm 37:4-5
He might not answer the way you and I want.
He will bring it the way He wants!
DELIGHT means to be “soft, delicate, or pliable”!
To DELIGHT in Yahwah means to say: Yahwah I don’t understand what you are doing but I am just going to trust in you!
Elijah could have panicked!
He could have tried to REVERSE THE CURSE, but it wasn’t Yahwah’s time yet.
He could have walked away, gone to another country to try and find water, “WE KNOW YAHWAH HELPS THOSE THAT HELP THEMSELVES”
It was Yahwah’s will for him to be right where he was!
He couldn’t make it rain.
Yahwah was going to speak to him!
II.) ELIJAH WAS NOT GOING TO GET RAIN AT THAT TIME.
Elijah would wait and listen!
Yahwah was speaking to his heart!
How often have you and I been frustrated concerning something we needed Yahwah to do?
We prayed, fasted, believed, got together and agreed in prayer, and yet, nothing!
If we could, we would make it rain
Instead of getting rain, This is what Elijah got:
1 Kings 17:8-9
Elijah discovered that Yahwah was going to sustain him through the drought BETTER than he never dreamed!
HEARING AND OBEYING Yahwah’s Word unlocked Yahwah's provision for the prophet.
His faith, patience and endurance all grew as a result of hearing Yahwah's Word.
