210.8: 1 Kings 18: The Battle of the Prophets - Who Really is the More Powerful God?

Showdown time! It’s the 3rd year of the drought  in the northern kingdom of Israel. The Demonic Duo, Ahab and Jezebel,  managed to turn the Israelites away from the true God and got them to  worship the worthless, fake god, Baal. Now, Baal was supposedly the god  of the sky. So, he was in charge of the rain. The prophets of Baal had  been trying for 3 years to get it to rain, to no avail. That’s what  happens when you pray to things that don’t exist — NOTHING. Enter God’s prophet. Elijah, as we read in yesterday’s chapter, raised a boy from the dead in the 1st recorded resurrection in the Bible! Jesus would later raise several people from the dead, including his friend Lazarus. Likewise, God raised Jesus from the dead to leave an empty tomb and conquer death once and for all! Today, in one of the best Bible stories, Elijah puts the false god, Baal, to the test. Guess who wins? Let’s dig in… Keep reading in my blog where there are links to dig deeper and watch the special videos at the bottom…. It’s time to GET RIGHT WITH GOD! Are you ready to meet God today?

I surrender my whole life to you and I will follow you for the rest of my life. Thank You, Jesus, for saving me.
