Elijah defeated the

prophets of Baal.

3

1 Kings 18:40 And Elijah said unto them, Take the

prophets of Baal; let not one of them escape. And

they took them: and Elijah brought them down to

the brook Kishon, and slew them there.

He killed them all.

Finish what you start.Our battles are not flesh and blood, but we

must finish strong in spiritual warfare.

Be good soldiers in God’s army.

41 And Elijah said unto Ahab,

Get thee up, eat and drink; for

there is a sound of abundance

of rain. 42 So Ahab went up to

eat and to drink. And Elijah

went up to the top of Carmel;

and he cast himself down upon

the earth, and put his face

between his knees,

Eat and drink

Pray

How did Elijah hear rain coming?

He was living by faith in God.

5

43 And said to his servant, Go up now, look toward

the sea. And he went up, and looked, and said,

There is nothing. And he said, “Go again,” seven

times.

Elijah said, “Go again.”

He sent him seven times.We tend to give up if our prayers aren’t soon

answered; Elijah kept on praying.

Put all your trust in God!

6

44 And it came to pass at the

seventh time, that he said,

Behold, there ariseth a little

cloud out of the sea, like a

man's hand. And he said, Go up,

say unto Ahab, Prepare thy

chariot, and get thee down, that

the rain stop thee not.

It still isn’t raining, but Elijah believes God.

That one small cloud signifies a flood!

7

45 And it came to pass in

the meanwhile, that the

heaven was black with

clouds and wind, and

there was a great rain.

And Ahab rode, and went

to Jezreel.

Faith and

perseverance

How did Elijah hear rain coming?

Believe God; never give up.

8

46 And the hand of the

LORD was on Elijah; and

he girded up his loins, and

ran before Ahab to the

entrance of Jezreel.

Elijah outran the horses, because the Hand of

the Lord was upon him.

We are not dependent upon our own strength

or wisdom to do the Will of God.

God’s Hand is upon us!

9

Ephesians 6 10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in

the Lord, and in the Power of His Might. 11 Put on

the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to

stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we

wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against

principalities, against powers, against the rulers of

the darkness of this world, against spiritual

wickedness in high places.

Satan uses people to do his vile work, but we must

not focus on the people.

Fight the devil.

10

Our best weapons are the Bible,

prayer, faith, and perseverance.

1 Thessalonians 5 17 Pray

without ceasing.

Never give up.

Keep on praying and trusting.

God will move!

11

We must never yield to the devil; constantly

resist him in the Power of God.

1 Timothy 6 12 Fight the good fight of faith, ….

12

Never try to appease the devil or his minions.

Don’t go along to get along. Resist.

2 Timothy 2 25 In meekness instructing those that

oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give

them repentance to the acknowledging of the Truth; 26 And that they may recover themselves out of the

snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at

his will.

Devils know how to bait the trap.

13

He baits the trap, and they get in it.

Devils use them against God’s people.

14

Deuteronomy 31 6 Be strong and of a good

courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the

LORD thy God, He it is that doth go with thee; He

will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.

Luke 12 32 Fear not, little flock; for it is your

Father's good pleasure to give you the Kingdom.

Devils are attacking us on many fronts.

We can be strong and brave.

We need not fear.

God is with us.!

15

Ephesians 6 13 Wherefore take unto you the whole

armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in

the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14 Stand

therefore, having your loins girt about with Truth,

and having on the breastplate of Righteousness;

Stand unshaken

and immovable.

Good soldiers!

16

Psalm 6 (TLB) 8 Go, leave me now, you men of

evil deeds, for the Lord has heard my weeping 9 and my pleading. He will answer all my prayers. 10 All my enemies shall be suddenly dishonored,

terror-stricken, and disgraced. God will turn them

back in shame.

Believe and receive!God will move for us, if we won’t be afraid.

Trust Him for everything.

17

Psalm 17 7 Shew Thy marvelous loving kindness,

O Thou that savest by Thy Right Hand them which

put their trust in Thee from those that rise up

against them.

God loves us; we are His children.

Trust The Lord God.

He will put to shame all those

who rise up against us.

18

Psalm 20:7-8 (NIV) Some trust in chariots and

some in horses, but we trust in the Name of the

LORD our God. They are brought to their knees

and fall, but we rise up and stand firm.

19

John 8:44 (KJV) 44 Ye are of your father the devil,

and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a

murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the

truth, because there is no truth in him. When he

speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a

liar, and the father of it.

The enemies of God and of the church

serve the devil, and like him -- they tell

not the truth, but lies.

Fear not; we have the victory in Jesus Christ.
