READ ALL OF 1 KINGS CHAPTER 18
1 KINGS 18:21-22
Amplified….
Elijah approached all the people and said, “how long will you hesitate between two opinions?
If the Lord is God, follow him; but if Baal, follow him”. But the people (of Israel) did not answer him (so much) as a word.
Then Elijah said to the people, “I alone remain a prophet of the Lord, while Baal’s prophets are 450 men.
*** ALL ISRAEL IS GATHERED ON MOUNT CARMEL AS SPECTATORS TO SEE WHO WILL COME OUT ON TOP. THE 450 PROPHETS OF BAAL OR ELIJAH WHO STOOD FOR THE LORD. ***
*** IS BAAL GOD? OR IS THE LORD GOD? THE 450 HAD MADE THEIR CHOICE AND ELIJAH HAD MADE HIS CHOICE. ALL OF ISRAEL WAS HANGING AROUND AND WAITING TO SEE . THEY WERE HESITATING TO GO WITH THE WINNER! ***
*** THE LORD ANSWERED BY FIRE AND DEMONSTRATED THAT HE WAS GOD! ***
*** 450 MEN WERE EXECUTED THAT SAME DAY FOR BEING FALSE PROPHETS! ***
*** ALL THE INDECISIVE, UNBELIEVING, AND THOSE WHO JUST FOLLOWED THE CROWD WERE SHOWN WITHOUT A DOUBT THAT THE LORD IS GOD! ***
*** HAVE YOU DECIDED WHO IS GOD IN YOUR LIFE? ARE YOU WAITING AROUND TO SEE WHO WINS? JESUS CHRIST ROSE FROM THE DEAD TO DECLARE WHO GOD
IS! ***
*** JESUS CHRIST DEMANDS YOU MAKE A CHOICE. JESUS SAID, ” I AM THE WAY THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE AND NO MAN COMES TO THE FATHER EXCEPT THROUGH ME”. ***
