WHO WAS THE PROPHET ELIJAH?

Elisha served as a prophet in the northern kingdom of Israel for 45 years. He never saw his nation turn to God and stay with Him, rather, he became a witness so that no man from that generation could ever say to God, “If only there had been a man from God, I would have listened and repented.”

WHAT DID HE DO?

Elisha studied under Elijah and saw many miracles, so he never questioned if a miracle could be done. When a problem arose, he simply flowed in the Holy Spirit! Even though Elisha had a powerful anointing and was well known in Israel, Judah, and Syria, God did not use him to bring a spiritual turn-around of the Hebrew children. It is important to understand that most people of the twelve tribes of Israel died as idol worshippers and went to hell at their death.

WHAT CAN WE LEARN FROM HIM?

During a person’s life there will be pressure and stress. In the end times, it will increase to the point that many people will not be able to take it, but will break down, and lose their faith in God. Every Christian must make a decision to stand and fight or to cut and run. In ourselves we have no strength, the only thing we can do is to make a decision to stand and fight, and believe that God will come through in our lives.
