Greetings in The Mighty Name of Jesus, The Christ!!!

The Small Things

1 Kings 19:11-12 KJV

"¹¹ And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the LORD. And, behold, the LORD passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before the LORD; [but] the LORD [was] not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; [but] the LORD [was] not in the earthquake: ¹² And after the earthquake a fire; [but] the LORD [was] not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice."

 Brothers and Sisters are you looking for answers? Have you been Seeking, Knocking and Asking but there SEEMS to be Not the Answer YOU are looking for?

We must consider First Things First. What is Your Heart, Your Thoughts, Your Motives in Approaching Jesus. Is it Truly to Seek His Will or it is something that You Want to consume with Your Flesh? Lets look at Elijah’s Heart, Thoughts, Motivations.

1 Kings 19:4 KJV

"But he himself went a day's journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a juniper tree: and he requested for himself that he might die; and said, It is enough; now, O LORD, take away my life; for I [am] not better than my fathers."

Elijah, was Tired, he was Broken, he was Done and in his state of mind, he Requested to The Father to Die. But in his Request he had come to His Own Conclusion that he was no better than the whole of Israel, a sinner, he was a Broken Man In Despair.  Elijah wanted to Die for What had been done in killing all of the prophets. Jezebel sought to Kill Elijah, so Elijah fled a day’s journey for His Life.

How many of us have been in a similar situation, that we have done something, said something and because of Our Actions we flee to find solitude from the course of actions we have done. To Seek Jesus for Deliverance, to even Request to Die for such things, such actions we have done or what we Believe will come upon us for such action. Maybe there are those who should be in such a state and are not and has allowed Pride to enter in taking no thought of Actions, Words that we have done or said.

But in Elijah’s place where he was at, The Father did not forsake him, but needed him to go even further away from His Enemy. But notice The Father was not going to take Elijah home, but to continue to use him in His Situation.

1 Kings 19:5-8 KJV

"⁵ And as he lay and slept under a juniper tree, behold, then an angel touched him, and said unto him, Arise [and] eat. ⁶ And he looked, and, behold, [there was] a cake baken on the coals, and a cruse of water at his head. And he did eat and drink, and laid him down again. ⁷ And the angel of the LORD came again the second time, and touched him, and said, Arise [and] eat; because the journey [is] too great for thee. ⁸ And he arose, and did eat and drink, and went in the strength of that meat forty days and forty nights unto Horeb the mount of God."

The Father sent an Angle to Provide for Elijah in His Time Of Need, in this case, Food and Water. The Father sent His Angel to Strengthen Elijah for What lied ahead, you must Understand, Elijah had No Idea what lied ahead of him. We must see in this, that Elijah was Obedient and did what the Angel had said, he ate, he slept, he woke up and ate again before His Blind Journey to Horeb. Elijah had no idea what was in Horeb, what he would find, what he would have to do or say, but Trusted The Angel of The Father and Walked in Obedience.

Many of you who are in situation that you want to flee…  are you Walking In Obedience? Many of you are in Need For An Answer from Jesus, are YOU Walking in Obedience according to The Word and The Holy Spirit? Many of you want Answers, have Sought For Answers but you are Not Willing to take the Small Steps to get there. Many of you want to do things Your Way, unwilling to Surrender To Jesus in what You Seek Him For. Elijah, was a Surrender Man unto The Father’ Will.

Elijah took his journey, we know that he Walked for Forty Days and Forty Nights to reach Horeb. To give you a perspective of how far Elijah Walked In Obedience, it would have been over 600 Miles. Some of you Live in the NOW Attitude, if it does not happen by tomorrow You will find Another Way To Get Your Answer, even if it Sin to do so.

When Elijah got to His Destination, he set up camp and again, Waiting For His Answer. We do not know if The Father visited Elijah that Day or Some Days later, but The Father did Speak at a Time Elijah did not Anticapate. Did you catch that, Elijah had No Idea When or How The Father would Answer Him or in fact, did not even know if The Father was going to Answer him, but in any case, Elijah Walked In Obedience.

1 Kings 19:9-10 KJV

"⁹ And he came thither unto a cave, and lodged there; and, behold, the word of the LORD [came] to him, and he said unto him, What doest thou here, Elijah? ¹⁰ And he said, I have been very jealous for the LORD God of hosts: for the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, [even] I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away."

When The Father approached Elijah, He wanted to know His Heart, The Father wanted to Know Elijah Truly Sought Him in His Situation. Elijah was Open and Honest about what had happened. Some of you need to Truly Seek Jesus with Open Hearts, being Totally Honest about Your Situation, to Release what You Face to Jesus.

But notice, Elijah was Very Jealous For The Father, in other words, in All Of Elijah’s World, he Only Sought The Fathers Will for His Life. Elijah had a Passion, an Overwhelming Love For The Father and His Ways. Too many of you Play Church, Play Religious Games, Play To Be Righteous,  for Scripture says to you…

Ezekiel 33:31 KJV

“And they come unto thee as the people cometh, and they sit before thee [as] my people, and they hear thy words, but they will not do them: for with their mouth they shew much love, [but] their heart goeth after their covetousness."

Isaiah 29:13 KJV

“Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near [me] with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men:"

Now to the ones who Truly Seek Jesus For an Answer… Be Patient, Wait Upon Jesus to Manifest The Right Answer for Your Situation, but remember that Jesus Answer may not be what You Thought It Should Be!

Isaiah 55:8-9 KJV

"⁸ For my thoughts [are] not your thoughts, neither [are] your ways my ways, saith the LORD. ⁹ For [as] the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts."

Now that Elijah was Attentive to The Fathers Presence, he Listened For An Answer, for Instructions in What To Do in His Situation. Again, Elijah was told again to do something else without an Answer. Sometimes Our Journey may be long, lonely, feeling you are the only one who’s ever gone through a situation like yours, and Jesus is asking you to take another step of Obedience before an Answer CAN come.

1 Kings 19:11-12 KJV

"¹¹ And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the LORD. And, behold, the LORD passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before the LORD; [but] the LORD [was] not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; [but] the LORD [was] not in the earthquake: ¹² And after the earthquake a fire; [but] the LORD [was] not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice."

Elijah had to be Obedient, to go Outside His Comfort Zone, Stand and Wait Upon The Father. When Obedience is carried out Jesus will move, but do not fall for a Pop-Up Answer, a False Answer. Elijah had to be in Tune with The Father enough to Know The Fathers Presence in what he was Presented. The Father even though He made the Mountains To Crumble, that the Winds were Strong, that the Earth beneath him Shock, that a Great Fire was set before him, in all of these The Father was NOT Present, but it was in the Quit Still, Small Voice did The Father Speak. Too many of you are Looking for an Answer to Your Situation in a Miracle, that is, Instant Gratification, when there will not be one. Too many of you are Looking for an Answer from a False Prophet who speaks in general, knowing it is not from Jesus. Too many of you are Looking for an Answer in a Big, Enormous Ways and there will be none. Too many of you are Looking for Justified Knowledge, saying, this happened so it must be this way, when it is not. Too many of you are Looking for an Answer that will Take Away Your Situation, that You do not have to Endure any longer, but that is Not The Answer.

When You decide to really Want to Hear what Jesus is saying, you will find it is in the Quit Of Your Heart, Your Mind that Jesus can begin to Speak, to give You Direction that deals with Your Situation, but until you do, the Answer Will Not Come. But, Understand this, it starts with Obedience!

As Elijah Heard The Voice Of The Father, he Humbled himself before Him. He was Not Rejoicing, he was Not Shouting, he was Not Dancing, he WAS Standing Humble Before The Almighty!!! Elijah found in the Quit Voice of The Father and Answer to take care of His Situation…

1 Kings 19:13-18 KJV

"¹³ And it was [so], when Elijah heard [it], that he wrapped his face in his mantle, and went out, and stood in the entering in of the cave. And, behold, [there came] a voice unto him, and said, What doest thou here, Elijah? ¹⁴ And he said, I have been very jealous for the LORD God of hosts: because the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, [even] I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away. ¹⁵ And the LORD said unto him, Go, return on thy way to the wilderness of Damascus: and when thou comest, anoint Hazael [to be] king over Syria: ¹⁶ And Jehu the son of Nimshi shalt thou anoint [to be] king over Israel: and Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abelmeholah shalt thou anoint [to be] prophet in thy room. ¹⁷ And it shall come to pass, [that] him that escapeth the sword of Hazael shall Jehu slay: and him that escapeth from the sword of Jehu shall Elisha slay. ¹⁸ Yet I have left [me] seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed unto Baal, and every mouth which hath not kissed him."

 Again The Father wanted Elijah to Know His Heart In His Request, in His Seeking an Answer to His Situation, for him to Examine His Situation once again…BEFORE The Answer.

Then, The Father knowing Elijah’s Heart, told him to do yet another task…BEFORE The Answer. Elijah had to go to another town to Seek Hazael, King Of Syria and to Anoint him with oil. Then Elijah had to go to another place to find Nimshi and Anoint him as King Over Israel. Then Elijah had to go to another place find Elisha… to Take Elijah’s Place as Prophet. Then and ONLY THEN did Elijah Receive His Answer. But even in the Answer it was Progressive, one thing had to happen before the next one could happen. Sometimes we may have to Wait for things to happen before Our Answer Comes, but it will be in Walking in Obedience and Listening For The Voice Of Jesus To Encourage You, to Strengthen You, to Guide You to The Final Answer for Your Situation.

Like Elijah, we need to Understand that we are not alone, that there are others who face similar situations that we do not know of. The Father told Elijah, Elijah you are Not Alone, I have Seven Thousand who Walk In Obedience To Me, even as You Do. This was to Encourage Elijah that His Walk was not in vain, that Elijah needed to Understand that The Father had everything under control.

We may Not See or Understand that Jesus Has Everything Under Control as WE Walk In Obedience. That WE Must Trust Jesus as Elijah did with The Father, to Walk, to Endure until The Answer Comes!!!
