    Contributed by John Gaston on Apr 21, 2021
     | 4,666 views

    The Holy Spirit, and revival, have similarities to the processes of rainfall. Just as moisture must evaporate up before rain, so prayers & praise must go up. When heaven reaches the saturation point, you can expect rain!

A young boy came home from his first day of school and confessed to his father that he told a lie. The father asked why he did it. 2. The boy said, "Well, dad, when they ...read more

    Reading 1 Kings chapter 18, we see the necessity and intensity of prayer that brings about outstanding miracles and solutions.

    A. It is prayer that activates the fulfilment of God’s promises: The title of this message includes the word ‘necessity’ because: ? Although God had promised rain in 1 Kings 18:1 that He would send rain, Elijah still needed to pray before the fire fell and before the rain came. ? Although the ...read more

    One of God's promises that gives us great hope is that our prayers have power. Our God promises to hear and answer our prayers.

    A. One day three preachers sat discussing the best positions for prayer while a telephone repairman worked nearby. 1.

    God says that we need to pray like Elijah did. But Elijah seems so far above me I'm not sure I could pray with the same power as he did. But apparently I can. Do you know why?

    I read the true story of a couple of men from Alberta, Canada who were driving home late one night. The weather was freezing - well below zero.

    The same God that heard and answered Elijah's prayers, the same God that brought the rain, is the same God that is with us today. What a marvelous joy the foundation before us upon which we can rebuild the altars in our heart, that He is with us every step of the way.

    The story of Elijah is a great example of prayer. This is an unfinished sermon.

    Something New Is Coming 1 Kings 18:41-46 NLT 41 Then Elijah said to Ahab, “Go get something to eat and drink, for I hear a mighty rainstorm coming!” 42 So Ahab went to eat and drink. But Elijah climbed to the top of Mount Carmel and bowed low to the ground and prayed with his face ...read more

    Good morning. I invite you to turn in your copy of God’s Word to James chapter 5, but also to put a bookmark in 1 Kings chapter 18, because we are going to spend some time there as well.

    The God Who Answers By Fire Series

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Jul 15, 2025
     | 301 views

    1 Kings 18 is a divine call to revival. When a nation turns away from God, He raises voices like Elijah—bold, prayerful, and uncompromising. The God who answers by fire is still alive today. He is calling His people back to the altar, back to pure worship, and back to a place of total surrender.

    THE GOD WHO ANSWERS BY FIRE By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: 1 Kings 18:1-46 Supporting Texts: Malachi 3:18; Hebrews 12:29; James 5:17-18; Jeremiah 20:9; Psalm 24:3-5 INTRODUCTION: 1 Kings 18 is one of the most dramatic and powerful chapters in Scripture.
