One last question. What is the Elijah class? Well let's read this together:
1 Kings 18:22-39 says-
Then Elijah said to the people, "I alone am left a prophet of the Lord: but Ba'als prophets are four hundred and fifty men. " Therefore let them give us two bulls: and let them choose one bull for themselves, cut it in pieces, and lay it on the wood, but put no fire under it: and I will prepare the other bull, lay it on the wood, but put no fire under it. " Then you call on the name of your gods, and I will call on the name of the Lord: and the God who answers by fire, He is God. "So all the people answered and said, "It is well spoken. Now Elijah said to the prophets of Ba'al, Choose one bull for yourselves and prepare it first, for you are many, and call on the name of your god, and put no fire under it. " So they took the bull which was given them, and they prepared it, and called on the name of Ba'al from morning even till noon, saying, "O Ba'al, hear us!! But there was no voice: no one answered. Then they leaped about the altar which they had made. And so it was, at noon Elijah mocked them and said, "Cry aloud, for he is a god: either he is meditating, or he is busy, or he is on a journey, or perhaps he is sleeping and must be awakened." So they dried aloud, and cut themselves, as was their custom, with knives ans lances, until the blood gushed out of them. And when midday was passed, they prophesied until the time of offering of the evening sacrifice. But there was no voice: no one answered, no one paid attention. Then Elijah said to the people, "Come near to me" So all the people came near to him. And he repaired the altar of the Lord that was broken down, And Elijah took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, to whom the word of the Lord had come, saying. " Israel shall be your name." Then with the stones he built an altar in the name of the Lord: and he made a trench around the altar large enough to hold two seahs of seed, And he put the wood in order, cut the bull in pieces, and laid it on the wood, and said, "Fill four pots with water, and pour it on the burnt sacrifice and on the wood. Then he said "Do it a second time" and they did it a second time: and he said " Do it a third time" So the water ran all around the altar, and he also filled the trench with water. And it came to pass, at the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, that Elijah the prophet came near and said, "Lord God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel, let it be known this day that you are God in Israel and I am Your servant, and that i have done all these things at Your Word. "Hear me O Lord, hear me, that this people may know that you are the Lord God, and that you have turned their hearts back to you again" Then the fire of the Lord fell and consumed the burnt sacrifice, and the wood and the stones and the dust, and it licked up the water that was i the trench. Now when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces: and they said, " The Lord He is God!! The Lord He is God!!
"Let it be made known this day that you are God in Israel and I am your servant, and I have done all these things at Your Word."
What fantastic words, let it be your prayer to the world that has gone to pot. We are His servants. I know that we are sons but what a privilege to be called a servant of the living God
Let's use these last words as our cry to the hurting world. Please pray for one another that we may move in the POWER of God. Wherever we may be: Finland, Scotland, England, Africa and not forgetting France. Let us not water down the wonderful Gospel of Jesus Christ who paid the price that we could have victory in our short time on this earth.
God bless you all and keep you till we are able to meet in person once again.
With love to you all in the mighty name of Jesus who is the Overcomer.
