SUNDAY, JANUARY 21
Scripture: 1 Kings 17:1

Fullness of iniquity comes under Ahab and his wife Jezebel’s rule. What is God’s response? 1 Kings 17:1 says, “Elijah the Tishbite, of the inhabitants of Gilead, said to Ahab, ‘As the Lord God of Israel lives, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these three years, except at my word.’” Here comes a prophet stopping the whole economy based on this judicial word. The heart of God is released through this judicial Word spoken by Elijah. In a final attempt at saving the nation from destruction God’s judicial Throne opened to the prophet and he is released in an attempt to save the nation. Will people repent, will they turn? So here comes God using His love expressed through affliction giving an opportunity for repentance in order to turn the nation back to Him. God hasn’t changed. He still operates the same way. What dimension of God’s love did the Apostle Paul use in Acts 13? He used affliction on the false prophet. How well did affliction work? The proconsul believed when he saw the doctrine of the Lord. We have many people who do not believe today because they have not seen the doctrine of the Lord. Why haven’t they seen the doctrine of the Lord? It is because those of us in ministry have not prepared the church to walk in the doctrine of the Lord. One consistent sign of fullness is losing the ability to protect ourselves. In America forty years of abortion with over 55 million babies dead has pulled the trigger. It has been pulled by the legalization of homosexual marriage. It has been activated by the Iran nuclear deal and taking a stand against Israel. America’s abandonment of Israel in forging the Iran nuclear deal and giving Israel’s number one enemy an open door to nuclear weapons is a big factor. To make Israel vulnerable by giving Iran $150 billion to plot their demise is a judicial trigger that has indeed been pulled in America. This contributed to God’s intervention in the American election a year ago. Are we going to give our nation over to nuclear destruction or are we going to move the Hand of God and save it? The whole purpose for judgment is to save. God anointed Elijah. No dew, no rain except at his word. Thank God for the anointing of the prophet! Is God anointing the church today. I hear Him say He is! Where are today’s warriors who do not fear or hesitate to move forward in this dimension of salvation? Pray judgment on the perpetrators to save America! It is time to pray Psalm 94;23 on God’s enemies “He has brought on them their own iniquity, And shall cut them off in their own wickedness; The Lord our God shall cut them off.”
