Faith Audio Arsenal |Battle List | Not Every BOOYAH Looks Like Fire
from Faith Audio Arsenal · host Sue Bailey
Everybody remembers Elijah calling down fire from heaven.BOOYAH.I mean, come on. If you’re going to get an assignment from God, Mount Carmel is a pretty spectacular one.But while reading 1 Kings 18 and 19 again, I noticed something I’d pretty much walked right past before.Obadiah.While Elijah was confronting the prophets of Baal in public, Obadiah had quietly risked his life hiding one hundred prophets of the LORD in caves and bringing them bread and water.And then there were the 7,000.Seven thousand people God knew had never bowed to Baal, even though Elijah didn’t know they were there.Three very different pictures of faithfulness.One called down fire.One carried bread.Seven thousand simply refused to bow.And God saw every one of them.That’s what this Faith Audio Arsenal track is about.Because sometimes your assignment will be visible.Sometimes nobody will know you did it.And sometimes faithfulness looks like nothing more dramatic than standing your ground when everything around you says, “Bow.”Don’t confuse visibility with significance.Whatever God puts in front of you, do it faithfully.Because not every BOOYAH looks like fire.Turn it up.Lyrics:Not Every BOOYAH Looks Like FireVerse 1He stood on the mountainWith a nation watchingOne altar soaked throughOne prayer risingNo answer from BaalNo voice, no replyThen Elijah called His nameAnd fire split the skyStone, dust, waterConsumed before their eyesThe people hit the ground“The LORD is God!” they criedPre-ChorusSometimes faith stands where everyone can seeSometimes God says, “Stand here with Me”Chorus[Lead]BOOYAH![Choir]Fire from the sky![Lead]BOOYAH![Choir]Watch the false gods hide![Lead]BOOYAH![Choir]But not every victory comes dressed in flameNot every faithful servant gets a famous name[Lead]BOOYAH![Choir]Whether loud or unseenOn the mountain, in the cave, anywhere in between[All]When God gives the mission, we answer the callStand firm, stay faithfulHe sees it allVerse 2While Elijah faced the kingdomObadiah worked insideA hundred hunted prophetsHad a place where they could hideBread carried in secretWater through the nightNo crowd ever cheeringNo altar burning brightIf Jezebel had found himHe knew what it could costStill he guarded what God treasuredWhen everything seemed lostPre-ChorusSometimes faith roars where everyone can seeSometimes faith carries bread quietlyChorus[Lead]BOOYAH![Choir]Fire from the sky![Lead]BOOYAH![Choir]Watch the false gods hide![Lead]BOOYAH![Choir]But not every victory comes dressed in flameNot every faithful servant gets a famous name[Lead]BOOYAH![Choir]Whether loud or unseenOn the mountain, in the cave, anywhere in between[All]When God gives the mission, we answer the callStand firm, stay faithfulHe sees it allVerse 3Then Elijah reached the desertSaying, “I’m the only one”Spent and worn and emptyThinking all the work was doneBut God knew every heartbeatEvery knee that would not bendSeven thousand still stood faithfulThough Elijah couldn’t see themNo headlinesNo applauseNo fire lighting up the nightJust seven thousand choosingNot to bow and leave the fightVerse 4Maybe yours is not the mountainMaybe no one knows your nameMaybe faith looks like stayingWhen the pressure says to changeMaybe God has called you forwardMaybe courage means “go now”Maybe all He asks today isStand your ground and do not bowFeed the few He puts before youSpeak the truth He gives to sayYou don’t need a crowd to matterYou just need to obeyBridgeBreastplate onStand righteousShoes readyGo when calledShield held highDo not bowMountain or caveSeen or unseenWhatever the assignmentLord, I’m YoursSend meBreakdownSome battles roarSome battles whisperSome faith gets seenSome faith stays hiddenSome carry fireSome carry breadSome simply standWhen the world says bendBut heaven knowsHeaven seesEvery faithful stepEvery unbowed kneeFinal Chorus[Lead]BOOYAH![Choir]When the fire comes down![Lead]BOOYAH![Choir]When there’s nobody around![Lead]BOOYAH![Choir]When you go where He sends youWhen you stand and don’t bow[Lead]BOOYAH![Choir]When obedience is all you have to show[All]You don’t need a mountainYou don’t need a crowdCarry the breadSpeak the truthStand your groundDifferent assignmentsOne Kingdom callStand firmStay faithfulGod sees it allSpoken OutroYou don’t need Mount Carmelto matter in the Kingdom.Sometimes God gives you fire.Sometimes He gives you bread and a cave.Sometimes He sends you forward.Sometimes He simply says:Do not bow.Your obedience may never make a headline.Heaven still sees it.So whatever He gives you—Go.Serve.Stand.Obey.[Lead, spoken]BOOYAH.
