Signs of Revival - A Power Encounter (notes)

Signs of Revival - A Power Encounter

Let’s Go From believing in the miracle of fire coming down from Heaven on mount Carmel to believing that God can do the impossible today in our lives.

God Desires Us to experience everything He has in store for us today. I don’t want to get to Heaven and discover that God had so much more for me than experienced in this life.

We Need To Be Like Elijah and not back down from any opportunity to display to the world the power of God.

Romans 1:16

I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for salvation of everyone who believe.

Salvation Means:

  1. Deliverance from sin and entrance into relationship with God through Jesus Christ, which results in eternal life.
  2. Healing for our body if we get sick or have pain or something is wrong with our body.
  3. Peace in the midst of world wide turmoil.

When The Economy of a nation gets bad it is the direct result of that nation turning away from God and going after other gods.

  • A nation who turns away from God calamities wait for that nation.
  • The answer is if that nation turns away from evil and turns to God healing of that economy.

We Are Living at a strategic time in history.

Let’s learn from a man did not back down from any showdown between good and evil.

Elijah is a type of the anointing that can rest on anyone who is committed to God.

Elijah

  • Took twelve stones, one for each of the tribes of Israel.
  • Made a trench around the altar.
  • Put wood and the bull on the wood.
  • Had water poured on the sacrifice three times.
  • Stepped forward and prayed… answer me, O Lord, so these people will know that You, O Lord, are God, and that You are turning their hearts back again.

Elijah

  • Walked with God and talked with God, and when there was an impossible situation Elijah believed God and God came through each time.
  • Was a man of prayer and a man of faith.
  • Saw God answer with fire.

Can miracles still happen?

  1. It all depends on our level of relationship with the Lord and if we believe His Word.
  2. Are we going to step out and believe what God has told us about miracles?

What Is God Saying?

  • God is greater than our enemies.
  • God is waiting to demonstrate His power to this generation.
  • God is looking for people with the faith like Elijah to demonstrate this power.
  • We will make up our minds to press into God and see what He can do.

John 15

  • Jesus is the vine, we are the branches, if we remain in Jesus and He in us we will bear much fruit.
  • Apart from Jesus we can do nothing.
  • If we do not stay connected to Jesus we will be cut off.
  • If we remain in Jesus & His Words remain in us, whatever we ask will be given to us.
  • This brings glory to the Father, that we bear much fruit showing we are followers of Jesus.

What Elijah Teaches Today:

  • We can walk in the realm of God (miraculous) by staying connected to Jesus.
  • We can see the greater works Jesus said we would see.
  • We can be modern day Elijahs.
