And that's where god wants us to be.
00:01:04.680 --> 00:01:05.280
Wants us to be. and he wants us to understand

And he wants us to understand that when god comes,
00:01:06.949 --> 00:01:08.283
That when god comes, everything that is
00:01:08.350 --> 00:01:09.284
Everything that is not god is consumed in
00:01:09.351 --> 00:01:11.720
Not god is consumed in the light of his glory.
00:01:11.787 --> 00:01:14.756
The light of his glory. do you want that?

Everything that is not god is consumed in the light

Is consumed in the light of his glory?
00:01:24.333 --> 00:01:25.901
Of his glory? we see this in
00:01:25.968 --> 00:01:27.936
We see this in the jezreel valley
00:01:28.003 --> 00:01:29.171
The jezreel valley in israel on mount carmel,
00:01:29.238 --> 00:01:31.740
In israel on mount carmel, this showdown between elijah
00:01:31.807 --> 00:01:34.309
This showdown between elijah and all the prophets of baal,
00:01:34.376 --> 00:01:38.247
And all the prophets of baal, and we see what god is
00:01:38.313 --> 00:01:39.648
And we see what god is inviting us into today.
00:01:39.715 --> 00:01:41.884
Inviting us into today. and it's beautiful and powerful.
00:01:41.950 --> 00:01:43.819
And it's beautiful and powerful. to give you a little bit
00:01:43.886 --> 00:01:44.620
To give you a little bit of the backdrop on this story,
00:01:44.686 --> 00:01:46.088
Of the backdrop on this story, and we can't really
00:01:46.155 --> 00:01:46.788
And we can't really get all the way down
00:01:46.855 --> 00:01:47.623
Get all the way down into it today for time's sake,
00:01:47.689 --> 00:01:49.892
Into it today for time's sake, but ahab is the king
00:01:49.958 --> 00:01:51.560
But ahab is the king in israel,
00:01:51.627 --> 00:01:52.928
In israel, the northern kingdom,
00:01:52.995 --> 00:01:54.296
The northern kingdom, and ahab's terrible.
00:01:54.363 --> 00:01:56.231
And ahab's terrible. he's terrible like
00:01:56.298 --> 00:01:57.166
He's terrible like his father was terrible,
00:01:57.232 --> 00:01:58.400
His father was terrible, and he's married to jezebel,
00:01:58.467 --> 00:01:59.635
And he's married to jezebel, and she's worse.
00:01:59.701 --> 00:02:01.103
And she's worse. her intention is to kill
00:02:01.170 --> 00:02:03.505
Her intention is to kill all the prophets of god,
00:02:03.572 --> 00:02:05.374
All the prophets of god, and she is on
00:02:05.440 --> 00:02:06.108
And she is on a mission to do that.
00:02:06.175 --> 00:02:07.676
A mission to do that. she is the antichrist
00:02:07.743 --> 00:02:10.012
She is the antichrist in the old testament.
00:02:10.078 --> 00:02:11.346
In the old testament. she is against the prophet.
00:02:11.413 --> 00:02:13.615
She is against the prophet. she is against the word of god,
00:02:13.682 --> 00:02:15.384
She is against the word of god, against the knowledge of god,
00:02:15.450 --> 00:02:17.019
Against the knowledge of god, and she has the ability,
00:02:17.085 --> 00:02:18.654
And she has the ability, because of her
00:02:18.720 --> 00:02:19.388
Because of her leverage with ahab,
00:02:19.454 --> 00:02:20.689
Leverage with ahab, to literally wipe out
00:02:20.756 --> 00:02:22.291
To literally wipe out all the prophets of god.
00:02:22.357 --> 00:02:24.126
All the prophets of god. she has her own prophets,
00:02:24.193 --> 00:02:25.394
She has her own prophets, the prophets of baal,
00:02:25.460 --> 00:02:26.929
The prophets of baal, this idol that is
00:02:26.995 --> 00:02:28.397
This idol that is worshipped among the people,
00:02:28.463 --> 00:02:29.831
Worshipped among the people, the prophets of asherah,
00:02:29.898 --> 00:02:31.767
The prophets of asherah, another idol that's worshiped
00:02:31.833 --> 00:02:33.335
Another idol that's worshiped among the people.
00:02:33.402 --> 00:02:34.970
Among the people. and ahab and jezebel are
00:02:35.037 --> 00:02:36.638
And ahab and jezebel are a one-two punch of terrible
00:02:36.705 --> 00:02:39.875
A one-two punch of terrible leadership and spiritual decay.
00:02:39.942 --> 00:02:43.212
Leadership and spiritual decay. but there is a prophet, elijah,
00:02:43.278 --> 00:02:45.280
But there is a prophet, elijah, and he is fierce in his desire
00:02:45.347 --> 00:02:48.383
And he is fierce in his desire to see god glorified
00:02:48.450 --> 00:02:50.252
To see god glorified among the people.
00:02:50.319 --> 00:02:51.787
Among the people. and so he has this
00:02:51.853 --> 00:02:53.055
And so he has this encounter with ahab,
00:02:53.121 --> 00:02:54.923
Encounter with ahab, and this is a miracle encounter
00:02:54.990 --> 00:02:56.491
And this is a miracle encounter because he should die,
00:02:56.558 --> 00:02:58.827
Because he should die, but god's going to save him.
00:02:58.894 --> 00:03:01.530
But god's going to save him. we'll pick it up at verse 16.
00:03:01.597 --> 00:03:02.998
We'll pick it up at verse 16. this is 1 kings 17,
00:03:03.065 --> 00:03:06.268
This is 1 kings 17, 1 kings 18.
00:03:06.335 --> 00:03:09.738
1 kings 18. "so obadiah went to meet
00:03:09.805 --> 00:03:11.573
"so obadiah went to meet ahab and told him,
00:03:11.640 --> 00:03:14.009
Ahab and told him, and ahab went to meet elijah,
00:03:14.076 --> 00:03:15.978
And ahab went to meet elijah, and when he saw elijah,"
00:03:16.044 --> 00:03:17.713
And when he saw elijah," this is ahab the king,
00:03:17.779 --> 00:03:19.114
This is ahab the king, "he said to him,
00:03:19.181 --> 00:03:19.982
"he said to him, 'is that you,
00:03:20.048 --> 00:03:21.817
'is that you, you troubler of israel?'"
00:03:21.883 --> 00:03:24.753
You troubler of israel?'" and elijah replies to him.
00:03:24.820 --> 00:03:26.021
And elijah replies to him. he says,
00:03:26.088 --> 00:03:26.588
He says, "i've not made
00:03:26.655 --> 00:03:27.222
"i've not made trouble for israel,
00:03:27.289 --> 00:03:28.323
Trouble for israel, but you and your
00:03:28.390 --> 00:03:28.991
But you and your father's family have.
00:03:29.057 --> 00:03:31.059
Father's family have. you have abandoned the lord's
00:03:31.126 --> 00:03:32.294
You have abandoned the lord's commands and followed the baals.
00:03:32.361 --> 00:03:34.930
Commands and followed the baals. now summon the people
00:03:34.997 --> 00:03:36.064
Now summon the people from all over israel
00:03:36.131 --> 00:03:37.332
From all over israel to meet me on mount carmel."
00:03:37.399 --> 00:03:40.302
To meet me on mount carmel." now, i just would say again,
00:03:40.369 --> 00:03:41.637
Now, i just would say again, footnote really fast,
00:03:41.703 --> 00:03:43.705
Footnote really fast, i've been to this place.
00:03:43.772 --> 00:03:44.906
I've been to this place. this is real talk, okay?
00:03:44.973 --> 00:03:46.808
This is real talk, okay? this is not some bible story.
00:03:46.875 --> 00:03:48.577
This is not some bible story. this is a real place.
00:03:48.644 --> 00:03:49.678
This is a real place. you can go there.
00:03:49.745 --> 00:03:50.746
You can go there. i would recommend that you do.
00:03:50.812 --> 00:03:53.482
I would recommend that you do. i would recommend that
00:03:53.548 --> 00:03:54.349
I would recommend that you save up your money
00:03:54.416 --> 00:03:55.517
You save up your money and travel to israel
00:03:55.584 --> 00:03:56.852
And travel to israel and go to mount carmel
00:03:56.918 --> 00:03:58.220
And go to mount carmel and stand on the spot that
00:03:58.287 --> 00:03:59.688
And stand on the spot that we're reading about today,
00:03:59.755 --> 00:04:01.189
We're reading about today, and know that god,
00:04:01.256 --> 00:04:02.524
And know that god, the god of all creation,
00:04:02.591 --> 00:04:04.426
The god of all creation, is still moving in the earth
00:04:04.493 --> 00:04:06.328
Is still moving in the earth just like he did on this
00:04:06.395 --> 00:04:07.763
Just like he did on this day on mount carmel.
00:04:07.829 --> 00:04:10.432
Day on mount carmel. mount carmel's in
00:04:10.499 --> 00:04:11.333
Mount carmel's in the valley of jezreel.
00:04:11.400 --> 00:04:12.601
The valley of jezreel. just a little footnote again,
00:04:12.668 --> 00:04:15.337
Just a little footnote again, in this valley is a place
00:04:15.404 --> 00:04:17.005
Called megiddo,
00:04:17.105 --> 00:04:18.073
Called megiddo, and a lot of this comes
00:04:18.140 --> 00:04:19.474
And a lot of this comes from the language of armageddon.
00:04:19.541 --> 00:04:25.681
From the language of armageddon. and people think,
00:04:25.747 --> 00:04:26.848
And people think, a lot of people think,
00:04:26.915 --> 00:04:27.816
A lot of people think, that it's all going
00:04:27.883 --> 00:04:28.717
That it's all going down in the jezreel valley,
00:04:28.784 --> 00:04:31.153
That armageddon's going
00:04:31.253 --> 00:04:32.020
That armageddon's going to happen right there.
00:04:32.087 --> 00:04:33.522
To happen right there. you can go stand and look
00:04:33.588 --> 00:04:34.623
You can go stand and look over the valley and imagine,
00:04:34.690 --> 00:04:37.559
Over the valley and imagine, it might all come
00:04:37.626 --> 00:04:38.160
It might all come down right here.
00:04:38.226 --> 00:04:40.095
Down right here. but it's all coming down
00:04:40.162 --> 00:04:40.962
But it's all coming down right here on this day.
00:04:41.029 --> 00:04:43.265
Right here on this day. he says,
00:04:43.332 --> 00:04:43.732
He says, "meet me on mount carmel
00:04:43.799 --> 00:04:45.434
"meet me on mount carmel and bring the 450 prophets
00:04:45.500 --> 00:04:50.339
And bring the 450 prophets of baal and the 400 prophets
00:04:50.405 --> 00:04:52.474
Of baal and the 400 prophets of asherah who eat
00:04:52.541 --> 00:04:53.842
Of asherah who eat at jezebel's table."
00:04:53.909 --> 00:04:55.277
At jezebel's table." so ahab sent word throughout
00:04:55.344 --> 00:04:56.678
So ahab sent word throughout all israel and assembled
00:04:56.745 --> 00:04:57.946
All israel and assembled the prophets
00:04:58.013 --> 00:04:59.114
The prophets on mount carmel.
00:04:59.181 --> 00:05:00.716
On mount carmel. elijah went before
00:05:00.782 --> 00:05:01.950
Elijah went before the people and he said,
00:05:02.017 --> 00:05:03.485
The people and he said, and obviously you're going
00:05:03.552 --> 00:05:04.319
And obviously you're going to see what the message
00:05:04.386 --> 00:05:05.354
To see what the message for all of us is today
00:05:05.420 --> 00:05:07.255
For all of us is today right in the text.
00:05:07.322 --> 00:05:08.690
Right in the text. he said to the people,
00:05:08.757 --> 00:05:09.558
He said to the people, "how long will you waver
00:05:09.624 --> 00:05:12.461
"how long will you waver between two opinions?
00:05:12.527 --> 00:05:13.929
Between two opinions? if the lord is god,
00:05:13.995 --> 00:05:15.263
If the lord is god, follow him.
00:05:15.330 --> 00:05:16.531
Follow him. but if baal is god, follow him."
00:05:16.598 --> 00:05:20.202
But if baal is god, follow him." but the people said nothing.
00:05:20.268 --> 00:05:22.871
But the people said nothing. then elijah said to them,
00:05:22.938 --> 00:05:24.172
Then elijah said to them, "i am the only one
00:05:24.239 --> 00:05:25.474
"i am the only one of the lord's prophets left,
00:05:25.540 --> 00:05:26.842
Of the lord's prophets left, but baal has 450 prophets.
00:05:26.908 --> 00:05:30.779
But baal has 450 prophets. so get two bulls for us.
00:05:30.846 --> 00:05:33.415
So get two bulls for us. let baal's prophets
00:05:33.482 --> 00:05:34.383
Let baal's prophets choose one for themselves
00:05:34.449 --> 00:05:35.617
Choose one for themselves and let them cut it into pieces
00:05:35.684 --> 00:05:36.952
And let them cut it into pieces and put it on the wood,
00:05:37.018 --> 00:05:38.253
And put it on the wood, but not set fire to it.
00:05:38.320 --> 00:05:40.088
But not set fire to it. i'll prepare the other bull
00:05:40.155 --> 00:05:41.456
I'll prepare the other bull and put it on the wood,
00:05:41.523 --> 00:05:42.758
And put it on the wood, but not set fire to it.
00:05:42.824 --> 00:05:45.060
But not set fire to it. then you call on the name
00:05:45.127 --> 00:05:46.294
Then you call on the name of your god,"
00:05:46.361 --> 00:05:47.295
Of your god," little g-god,
00:05:47.362 --> 00:05:48.430
Little g-god, "and i will call on
00:05:48.497 --> 00:05:49.531
"and i will call on the name of the lord.
00:05:49.598 --> 00:05:51.333
The name of the lord. the god who answers by fire,
00:05:51.400 --> 00:05:53.735
The god who answers by fire, he is god."
00:05:53.802 --> 00:05:56.271
He is god." so before this
00:05:56.338 --> 00:05:57.072
So before this gathering is over,
00:05:57.139 --> 00:05:57.973
Gathering is over, we're going to be
00:05:58.039 --> 00:05:58.607
We're going to be introducing the idea
00:05:58.673 --> 00:05:59.941
Introducing the idea of god coming as fire.
00:06:00.008 --> 00:06:03.044
Of god coming as fire. not coming politely and saying,
00:06:03.111 --> 00:06:04.279
Not coming politely and saying, "hi, i'm yahweh.
00:06:04.346 --> 00:06:06.281
"hi, i'm yahweh. how are you today?"
00:06:06.348 --> 00:06:08.383
How are you today?" but coming in all of his glory
00:06:08.450 --> 00:06:11.286
But coming in all of his glory and consuming everything
00:06:11.353 --> 00:06:12.988
And consuming everything that's not god.
00:06:13.054 --> 00:06:15.157
That's not god. this is how god moves.
00:06:15.223 --> 00:06:17.025
This is how god moves. god does not move
00:06:17.092 --> 00:06:17.826
God does not move into situations and go,
00:06:17.893 --> 00:06:19.161
Into situations and go, "oh, okay, yeah,
00:06:19.227 --> 00:06:19.995
"oh, okay, yeah, can i just get a little edge
00:06:20.061 --> 00:06:21.463
Can i just get a little edge on the table there?
00:06:21.530 --> 00:06:22.497
On the table there? hey, how's everybody?"
00:06:22.564 --> 00:06:24.800
Hey, how's everybody?" no.
00:06:24.866 --> 00:06:25.333
No. he comes in in his glory
00:06:25.400 --> 00:06:28.503
He comes in in his glory and he says,
00:06:28.570 --> 00:06:29.504
And he says, "i'm not sharing my glory
00:06:29.571 --> 00:06:30.972
"i'm not sharing my glory with anybody.
00:06:31.039 --> 00:06:35.243
With anybody. it's all me all the time.
00:06:35.310 --> 00:06:39.981
It's all me all the time. that's how i'd like to come."
00:06:40.048 --> 00:06:41.483
That's how i'd like to come." does anybody still want god?
00:06:41.550 --> 00:06:43.952
Does anybody still want god? because we say,
00:06:44.019 --> 00:06:44.686
Because we say, "god, i want you,"
00:06:44.753 --> 00:06:45.687
"god, i want you," but what we're really
00:06:45.754 --> 00:06:47.122
But what we're really saying to god is,
00:06:47.189 --> 00:06:48.123
Saying to god is, "i have reserved a solid
00:06:48.190 --> 00:06:54.229
"i have reserved a solid third of my table for you,
00:06:54.296 --> 00:06:58.767
Third of my table for you, and i would love it if
00:06:58.834 --> 00:07:00.368
And i would love it if you would come to my table."
00:07:00.435 --> 00:07:02.938
You would come to my table." he's like,
00:07:03.004 --> 00:07:04.239
He's like, "get rid of your table.
00:07:04.306 --> 00:07:07.108
"get rid of your table. i don't need a table.
00:07:07.175 --> 00:07:09.744
I don't need a table. i want to come fully in power."
00:07:09.811 --> 00:07:14.316
I want to come fully in power." and then all the people said,
00:07:14.382 --> 00:07:15.283
And then all the people said, "what you say is good."
00:07:15.350 --> 00:07:16.318
"what you say is good." in other words,
00:07:16.384 --> 00:07:16.952
In other words, we'll see who comes by fire,
00:07:17.018 --> 00:07:18.386
We'll see who comes by fire, and whoever comes by fire,
00:07:18.453 --> 00:07:19.721
And whoever comes by fire, that's going to be how
00:07:19.788 --> 00:07:21.122
That's going to be how we'll know who's god.
00:07:21.189 --> 00:07:23.158
We'll know who's god. "elijah said to the prophets
00:07:23.225 --> 00:07:24.259
"elijah said to the prophets of baal,
00:07:24.326 --> 00:07:24.659
Of baal, 'choose one of the bulls
00:07:24.726 --> 00:07:25.627
'choose one of the bulls and prepare it first since
00:07:25.694 --> 00:07:26.995
And prepare it first since there are so many of you.
00:07:27.062 --> 00:07:29.130
There are so many of you. call on the name of your god,
00:07:29.197 --> 00:07:30.365
Call on the name of your god, but do not light the fire.'
00:07:30.432 --> 00:07:32.634
But do not light the fire.' so they took the bull given
00:07:32.701 --> 00:07:34.069
So they took the bull given them and prepared it.
00:07:34.135 --> 00:07:35.237
Them and prepared it. and then they called on the name
00:07:35.303 --> 00:07:37.305
And then they called on the name of baal from morning till noon.
00:07:37.372 --> 00:07:41.776
Of baal from morning till noon. 'baal, answer us!'
00:07:41.843 --> 00:07:43.378
'baal, answer us!' they shouted.
00:07:43.445 --> 00:07:44.613
They shouted. but there was no response;
00:07:44.679 --> 00:07:45.680
But there was no response; no one answered.
00:07:45.747 --> 00:07:47.349
No one answered. and they danced around
00:07:47.415 --> 00:07:49.818
And they danced around the altar that they had made.
00:07:49.885 --> 00:07:52.787
The altar that they had made. at noon elijah
00:07:52.854 --> 00:07:53.455
At noon elijah began to taunt them."
00:07:53.522 --> 00:07:54.523
Began to taunt them." now, it's not typically good
00:07:54.589 --> 00:07:55.891
Now, it's not typically good to taunt people as
00:07:55.957 --> 00:07:57.058
To taunt people as a follower of god,
00:07:57.125 --> 00:07:58.126
A follower of god, but every now and then
00:07:58.193 --> 00:07:59.294
But every now and then there's a moment,
00:07:59.361 --> 00:08:00.061
There's a moment, and this is one
00:08:00.128 --> 00:08:00.695
And this is one of those moments.
00:08:00.762 --> 00:08:03.999
Of those moments. "'shout louder.
00:08:04.065 --> 00:08:06.668
"'shout louder. surely he's a god.
00:08:06.735 --> 00:08:08.870
Surely he's a god. perhaps he's deep in thought
00:08:08.937 --> 00:08:10.338
Perhaps he's deep in thought or busy or traveling.
00:08:10.405 --> 00:08:11.673
Or busy or traveling. maybe he is sleeping
00:08:11.740 --> 00:08:13.174
Maybe he is sleeping and must be awakened.'
00:08:13.241 --> 00:08:14.042
And must be awakened.' so they shouted louder.
00:08:14.109 --> 00:08:18.480
So they shouted louder. they slashed themselves
00:08:18.547 --> 00:08:19.614
They slashed themselves with swords and spears,
00:08:19.681 --> 00:08:21.082
With swords and spears, as was their custom,
00:08:21.149 --> 00:08:22.117
As was their custom, until their blood flowed."
00:08:22.183 --> 00:08:23.151
Until their blood flowed." so we've got a mess here.
00:08:23.218 --> 00:08:25.954
So we've got a mess here. we've got people shouting
00:08:26.021 --> 00:08:26.922
We've got people shouting and dancing and slicing
00:08:26.988 --> 00:08:29.291
And dancing and slicing themselves and bleeding
00:08:29.357 --> 00:08:30.559
Themselves and bleeding everywhere and yelling
00:08:30.625 --> 00:08:31.626
Everywhere and yelling up into the heavens.
00:08:31.693 --> 00:08:34.062
Up into the heavens. "but then midday passed,
00:08:34.129 --> 00:08:35.297
"but then midday passed, and they continued their frantic
00:08:35.363 --> 00:08:36.698
And they continued their frantic prophesying until the time
00:08:36.765 --> 00:08:38.266
Prophesying until the time for the evening sacrifice,
00:08:38.333 --> 00:08:40.602
For the evening sacrifice, but there was no response.
00:08:40.669 --> 00:08:43.104
But there was no response. no one answered,
00:08:43.171 --> 00:08:44.940
No one answered, and no one paid attention."
00:08:45.006 --> 00:08:48.376
And no one paid attention." let's just inject
00:08:48.443 --> 00:08:49.344
Let's just inject a little message here.
00:08:49.411 --> 00:08:51.313
A little message here. baal was the god of fertility
00:08:51.379 --> 00:08:54.382
Baal was the god of fertility and the god of the weather.
00:08:54.449 --> 00:08:57.852
And the god of the weather. and one of the main things
00:08:57.919 --> 00:08:59.588
And one of the main things necessary in this time
00:08:59.654 --> 00:09:01.423
Necessary in this time and space was weather.
00:09:01.489 --> 00:09:04.492
And space was weather. this was an
00:09:04.559 --> 00:09:05.493
This was an agriculture-based world.
00:09:05.560 --> 00:09:09.965
Agriculture-based world. and elijah had spoken on
00:09:10.031 --> 00:09:11.266
And elijah had spoken on behalf of god to ahab,
00:09:11.333 --> 00:09:12.767
Behalf of god to ahab, if you just back up a chapter,
00:09:12.834 --> 00:09:14.569
If you just back up a chapter, and said,
00:09:14.636 --> 00:09:15.103
And said, "it's not going to rain
00:09:15.170 --> 00:09:15.937
"it's not going to rain in israel until i say so."
00:09:16.004 --> 00:09:19.007
In israel until i say so." and three and a half
00:09:19.074 --> 00:09:19.941
And three and a half years have now passed,
00:09:20.008 --> 00:09:21.042
Years have now passed, and there has been a complete
00:09:21.109 --> 00:09:22.344
And there has been a complete drought in israel such that ahab
00:09:22.410 --> 00:09:25.847
Drought in israel such that ahab is under incredible pressure,
00:09:25.914 --> 00:09:27.916
Is under incredible pressure, and that's how this
00:09:27.983 --> 00:09:28.617
And that's how this story actually unfolds.
00:09:28.683 --> 00:09:30.318
Story actually unfolds. ahab is out looking
00:09:30.385 --> 00:09:31.252
Ahab is out looking at every spring
00:09:31.319 --> 00:09:32.520
At every spring and every cave and every place
00:09:32.587 --> 00:09:34.522
And every cave and every place there was a little creek bed,
00:09:34.589 --> 00:09:36.091
There was a little creek bed, looking for anywhere any
00:09:36.157 --> 00:09:37.592
Looking for anywhere any amount of grass is growing.
00:09:37.659 --> 00:09:40.195
Amount of grass is growing. this is the condition
00:09:40.261 --> 00:09:42.263
This is the condition that baal has put them in.
00:09:42.330 --> 00:09:45.133
That baal has put them in. the god of weather,
00:09:45.200 --> 00:09:45.967
The god of weather, the god of the rain,
00:09:46.034 --> 00:09:46.935
The god of the rain, the god who brings down
00:09:47.002 --> 00:09:48.303
The god who brings down what we need for our sustenance
00:09:48.370 --> 00:09:50.739
What we need for our sustenance and to live, nothing.
00:09:50.805 --> 00:09:53.208
And to live, nothing. and he's not answering.
00:09:53.274 --> 00:09:54.976
And he's not answering. he's not paying attention.
00:09:55.043 --> 00:09:57.379
He's not paying attention. he doesn't want to respond
00:09:57.445 --> 00:09:59.314
He doesn't want to respond to our cries and our dancing
00:09:59.381 --> 00:10:00.882
To our cries and our dancing and our prophesying and all
00:10:00.949 --> 00:10:02.584
And our prophesying and all of our ritual.
00:10:02.651 --> 00:10:04.552
Of our ritual. why?
00:10:04.619 --> 00:10:05.787
Why? because he can't.
00:10:05.854 --> 00:10:08.957
Because he can't. psalm 115:
00:10:09.024 --> 00:10:10.458
Psalm 115: "not to us, lord,
00:10:10.525 --> 00:10:11.726
"not to us, lord, not to us,
00:10:11.793 --> 00:10:12.460
Not to us, but to your name be glory
00:10:12.527 --> 00:10:14.629
But to your name be glory because of your love
00:10:14.696 --> 00:10:15.597
Because of your love and faithfulness."
00:10:15.664 --> 00:10:17.098
And faithfulness." why do the nations say,
00:10:17.165 --> 00:10:18.366
Why do the nations say, "where is their god?"
00:10:18.433 --> 00:10:20.535
"where is their god?" our god is in heaven,
00:10:20.602 --> 00:10:21.870
Our god is in heaven, and we're going to see
00:10:21.936 --> 00:10:22.570
And we're going to see this in just a moment,
00:10:22.637 --> 00:10:23.371
This in just a moment, and he does whatever
00:10:23.438 --> 00:10:24.305
And he does whatever pleases him.
00:10:24.372 --> 00:10:25.340
Pleases him. but their idols, their baals,
00:10:25.407 --> 00:10:28.376
But their idols, their baals, their asherahs,
00:10:28.443 --> 00:10:30.278
Their asherahs, they are silver and gold,
00:10:30.345 --> 00:10:32.113
They are silver and gold, made by human hands.
00:10:32.180 --> 00:10:34.215
Made by human hands. they have mouths
00:10:34.282 --> 00:10:35.583
They have mouths but they cannot speak.
00:10:35.650 --> 00:10:36.785
But they cannot speak. they have eyes

They have eyes but they cannot see.

But they cannot see. they have ears

They have ears but they cannot hear.

But they cannot hear. noses but cannot smell.

Noses but cannot smell. they have hands

They have hands but they cannot feel.

But they cannot feel. feet but they cannot walk.
00:10:45.360 --> 00:10:46.828
Feet but they cannot walk. nor can they utter
00:10:46.895 --> 00:10:48.129
Nor can they utter a sound with their throats.
00:10:48.196 --> 00:10:50.598
A sound with their throats. those who make them
00:10:50.665 --> 00:10:53.301
Those who make them will be like them,
00:10:53.368 --> 00:10:56.838
Will be like them, and so will all
00:10:56.905 --> 00:10:58.506
And so will all who trust in them.

Who trust in them. no response.

No response. no one answered,

No one answered, and no one
00:11:07.482 --> 00:11:08.216
And no one paid attention.
00:11:08.283 --> 00:11:10.652
Paid attention. and god is asking
00:11:10.719 --> 00:11:11.419
And god is asking us today to take stock.
00:11:11.486 --> 00:11:14.522
Us today to take stock. is there an idol that
00:11:14.589 --> 00:11:18.293
Is there an idol that you're depending on?
00:11:18.359 --> 00:11:19.461
You're depending on? counting on?
00:11:19.527 --> 00:11:20.862
Counting on? putting your trust or hope in?
00:11:20.929 --> 00:11:22.797
Putting your trust or hope in? "yes, i love god,
00:11:22.864 --> 00:11:24.199
"yes, i love god, but i also need this."
00:11:24.265 --> 00:11:26.634
But i also need this." and he's saying today,
00:11:26.701 --> 00:11:29.971
And he's saying today, "you need to make a choice."
00:11:30.038 --> 00:11:32.640
"you need to make a choice." "elijah said to all the people,
00:11:32.707 --> 00:11:34.209
"elijah said to all the people, come here to me.'
00:11:34.275 --> 00:11:36.444
Come here to me.' and they came to him,
00:11:36.511 --> 00:11:37.312
And they came to him, and he repaired the altar."
00:11:37.378 --> 00:11:40.215
And he repaired the altar." in other words,
00:11:40.281 --> 00:11:40.949

Prayer in the world, but he appeals to the thing

But he appeals to the thing god loves the most.
00:13:18.813 --> 00:13:21.316
God loves the most. "lord, the god of abraham,

00:16:58.666 --> 00:17:01.369
Character, elijah. he's not somebody out
00:17:01.436 --> 00:17:02.203
He's not somebody out of a marvel movie.
00:17:02.270 --> 00:17:04.272
Of a marvel movie. elijah was like you.
00:17:04.338 --> 00:17:07.075
Elijah was like you. skin, bones, flesh, humanity.
00:17:07.141 --> 00:17:12.180
Skin, bones, flesh, humanity. in other words,
00:17:12.246 --> 00:17:13.481
In other words, what happened through elijah
00:17:13.548 --> 00:17:15.216
What happened through elijah did not happen because
00:17:15.283 --> 00:17:16.451
Did not happen because he was some
00:17:16.517 --> 00:17:17.618
He was some amazing superhero.
00:17:17.685 --> 00:17:19.787
Amazing superhero. it happened because
00:17:19.854 --> 00:17:20.688
It happened because he was available to god.
00:17:20.755 --> 00:17:24.258
He was available to god. the second thing that i want us
00:17:24.325 --> 00:17:25.793
The second thing that i want us to note today is that
00:17:25.860 --> 00:17:28.396
To note today is that to want god requires a choice.
00:17:28.463 --> 00:17:30.531
To want god requires a choice. this is what elijah said
00:17:30.598 --> 00:17:32.300
This is what elijah said to the people in verse 21.
00:17:32.366 --> 00:17:34.602
To the people in verse 21. he said,
00:17:34.669 --> 00:17:35.169
He said, "how long will you waver
00:17:35.236 --> 00:17:37.738
"how long will you waver between two opinions?
00:17:37.805 --> 00:17:39.640
Between two opinions? if the lord is god, follow him.
00:17:39.707 --> 00:17:41.509
If the lord is god, follow him. but if baal is god, follow him."
00:17:41.576 --> 00:17:44.011
But if baal is god, follow him." in other words,
00:17:44.078 --> 00:17:44.679
In other words, we talk about revival,
00:17:44.745 --> 00:17:45.947
We talk about revival, spiritual awakening,
00:17:46.013 --> 00:17:47.281
Spiritual awakening, desperation, wanting god,
00:17:47.348 --> 00:17:48.683
Desperation, wanting god, wanting to see a move of god,
00:17:48.749 --> 00:17:50.251
Wanting to see a move of god, wanting to see our city saved.
00:17:50.318 --> 00:17:51.986
Wanting to see our city saved. all those things
00:17:52.053 --> 00:17:52.653
All those things are good things,
00:17:52.720 --> 00:17:53.454
Are good things, but they all ultimately
00:17:53.521 --> 00:17:54.789
But they all ultimately come down to the same root.
00:17:54.856 --> 00:17:56.524
Come down to the same root. are we willing to choose god?
00:17:56.591 --> 00:18:02.563
Are we willing to choose god? or are we still
00:18:02.630 --> 00:18:03.631
Or are we still wavering between,
00:18:03.698 --> 00:18:05.099
Wavering between, "i do love god,
00:18:05.166 --> 00:18:06.634
"i do love god, but i also love my idols?
00:18:06.701 --> 00:18:08.202
But i also love my idols? i do love god,
00:18:08.269 --> 00:18:09.370
I do love god, but i'm also dependent
00:18:09.437 --> 00:18:10.671
But i'm also dependent on x, y, and z.
00:18:10.738 --> 00:18:14.442
On x, y, and z. i do want god,
00:18:14.509 --> 00:18:15.576
I do want god, but i don't want to get
00:18:15.643 --> 00:18:16.711
But i don't want to get rid of my mistress."
00:18:16.777 --> 00:18:20.348
Rid of my mistress." somehow i'm managing
00:18:20.414 --> 00:18:23.651
Somehow i'm managing to waver between both things,
00:18:23.718 --> 00:18:25.620
To waver between both things, and right now that seems
00:18:25.686 --> 00:18:27.155
And right now that seems like that's working.
00:18:27.221 --> 00:18:29.056
Like that's working. and god is saying,
00:18:29.123 --> 00:18:30.558
And god is saying, "how long are you going
00:18:30.625 --> 00:18:33.094
"how long are you going to go back and forth?
00:18:33.161 --> 00:18:34.428
To go back and forth? are you going to waver?"
00:18:34.495 --> 00:18:35.296
Are you going to waver?" that word waver , by the way,
00:18:35.363 --> 00:18:36.764
That word waver , by the way, is a very interesting word.
00:18:36.831 --> 00:18:39.267
Is a very interesting word. and in this particular context,
00:18:39.333 --> 00:18:41.102
And in this particular context, in this verse and in the verse
00:18:41.169 --> 00:18:42.803
In this verse and in the verse where it talks about
00:18:42.870 --> 00:18:44.172
Where it talks about the prophets of baal
00:18:44.238 --> 00:18:45.173
The prophets of baal dancing around their sacrifice,
00:18:45.239 --> 00:18:47.808
Dancing around their sacrifice, same word.
00:18:47.875 --> 00:18:49.010
Same word. and the word there can
00:18:49.076 --> 00:18:51.245
And the word there can mean to skip, like,
00:18:51.312 --> 00:18:52.780
Mean to skip, like, "hey, look, we're skipping
00:18:52.847 --> 00:18:53.814
"hey, look, we're skipping around the altar,
00:18:53.881 --> 00:18:54.982
Around the altar, and we're all excited
00:18:55.049 --> 00:18:55.917
And we're all excited about what our god's
00:18:55.983 --> 00:18:56.651
About what our god's going to do."
00:18:56.717 --> 00:18:57.185
Going to do." but it more specifically
00:18:57.251 --> 00:19:00.955
But it more specifically means to limp.
00:19:01.022 --> 00:19:04.225
Means to limp. how long will you limp back
00:19:04.292 --> 00:19:05.960
How long will you limp back and forth from god
00:19:06.027 --> 00:19:09.263
And forth from god to my stuff i've got over
00:19:09.330 --> 00:19:10.698
To my stuff i've got over here that i'm counting on?
00:19:10.765 --> 00:19:12.800
Here that i'm counting on? to god, but i also
00:19:12.867 --> 00:19:14.869
To god, but i also love my reputation.
00:19:14.936 --> 00:19:15.836
Love my reputation. to god, but, you know,
00:19:15.903 --> 00:19:16.871
To god, but, you know, i'm really, really counting
00:19:16.938 --> 00:19:17.972
I'm really, really counting on what's in
00:19:18.039 --> 00:19:18.673
On what's in the bank right now.
00:19:18.739 --> 00:19:19.373
The bank right now. to god, but i love this
00:19:19.440 --> 00:19:21.375
To god, but i love this pleasure in my life.
00:19:21.442 --> 00:19:24.178
Pleasure in my life. and the picture is not of health
00:19:24.245 --> 00:19:25.947
And the picture is not of health and strength and power.
00:19:26.013 --> 00:19:29.650
And strength and power. it's a picture of someone
00:19:29.717 --> 00:19:30.851
It's a picture of someone limping back and forth
00:19:30.918 --> 00:19:33.354
Limping back and forth between two things.
00:19:33.421 --> 00:19:35.323
Between two things. and god is saying today,
00:19:35.389 --> 00:19:37.358
And god is saying today, "how long?
00:19:37.425 --> 00:19:39.360
"how long? how long are you
00:19:39.427 --> 00:19:40.094
How long are you going to do that?"
00:19:40.161 --> 00:19:42.230
Going to do that?" the third thing that i think
00:19:42.296 --> 00:19:44.599
The third thing that i think comes out of the text is
00:19:44.665 --> 00:19:46.033
Comes out of the text is to want god is to be all in.
00:19:46.100 --> 00:19:48.703
To want god is to be all in. elijah was all in.
00:19:48.769 --> 00:19:51.105
Elijah was all in. he did not have a plan b.
00:19:51.172 --> 00:19:52.673
He did not have a plan b. if fire did not come down,
00:19:52.740 --> 00:19:54.442
If fire did not come down, he dies on mount carmel.
00:19:54.508 --> 00:19:57.178
He dies on mount carmel. there's 450 prophets of baal,
00:19:57.245 --> 00:19:59.814
There's 450 prophets of baal, 400 prophets of asherah who
00:19:59.880 --> 00:20:01.749
400 prophets of asherah who eat at the table of jezebel,
00:20:01.816 --> 00:20:04.185
Eat at the table of jezebel, and you've got one guy
00:20:04.252 --> 00:20:05.386
And you've got one guy standing here against
00:20:05.453 --> 00:20:06.754
Standing here against all of them.
00:20:06.821 --> 00:20:07.722
All of them. and if god doesn't come
00:20:07.788 --> 00:20:08.956
And if god doesn't come through for elijah,
00:20:09.023 --> 00:20:10.324
Through for elijah, there is no plan b.
00:20:10.391 --> 00:20:15.229
There is no plan b. and he doubles down.
00:20:15.296 --> 00:20:18.566
And he doubles down. "do it again.
00:20:18.633 --> 00:20:21.369
"do it again. soak it again."
00:20:21.435 --> 00:20:23.871
Soak it again." this is not going
00:20:23.938 --> 00:20:25.139
This is not going to be sleight of hand.
00:20:25.206 --> 00:20:25.906
To be sleight of hand. no one is going
00:20:25.973 --> 00:20:26.707
No one is going to walk away and go,
00:20:26.774 --> 00:20:27.341
To walk away and go, "oh, i know how he did that.
00:20:27.408 --> 00:20:29.910
"oh, i know how he did that. i saw it.
00:20:29.977 --> 00:20:32.013
I saw it. when he put the wood down there,
00:20:32.079 --> 00:20:35.116
When he put the wood down there, i saw it.
00:20:35.182 --> 00:20:36.450
I saw it. he put a little fire
00:20:36.517 --> 00:20:37.585
He put a little fire starter in there,
00:20:37.652 --> 00:20:40.187
Starter in there, and he had a trigger in his
00:20:40.254 --> 00:20:41.689
And he had a trigger in his pocket under his belt
00:20:41.756 --> 00:20:44.258
Pocket under his belt of his cloak.
00:20:44.325 --> 00:20:46.794
Of his cloak. and when he pointed up
00:20:46.861 --> 00:20:48.062
And when he pointed up in the sky,
00:20:48.129 --> 00:20:48.629
In the sky, and everybody looked,
00:20:48.696 --> 00:20:51.532
And everybody looked, and that's how it all happened."
00:20:51.599 --> 00:20:53.200
And that's how it all happened." he said, "no.
00:20:53.267 --> 00:20:53.768
He said, "no. do it again."
00:20:53.834 --> 00:20:55.002
Do it again." everybody see that?
00:20:55.069 --> 00:20:56.070
Everybody see that? "do it again."
00:20:56.137 --> 00:20:56.837
"do it again." everybody see that?
00:20:56.904 --> 00:20:57.571
Everybody see that? "do it again."
00:20:57.638 --> 00:20:58.239
"do it again." does everybody
00:20:58.306 --> 00:20:58.739
Does everybody see that the whole trench
00:20:58.806 --> 00:20:59.573
See that the whole trench is full of water?
00:20:59.640 --> 00:21:00.741
Is full of water? great.
00:21:00.808 --> 00:21:01.909
Great. now, god, i'm asking you,
00:21:01.976 --> 00:21:04.111
Now, god, i'm asking you, please, for the sake
00:21:04.178 --> 00:21:05.079
Please, for the sake of your name,
00:21:05.146 --> 00:21:07.281
Of your name, come and show that
00:21:07.348 --> 00:21:08.449
Come and show that you are god,
00:21:08.516 --> 00:21:09.684
You are god, and turn the hearts
00:21:09.750 --> 00:21:10.518
And turn the hearts of all these wicked people,
00:21:10.584 --> 00:21:13.487
Of all these wicked people, and all of your people israel,
00:21:13.554 --> 00:21:16.057
And all of your people israel, to you.
00:21:16.123 --> 00:21:17.658
To you. if god isn't god, i am toast.
00:21:17.725 --> 00:21:21.028
If god isn't god, i am toast. if god doesn't come through,
00:21:21.095 --> 00:21:22.763
There is no coming through.
00:21:22.863 --> 00:21:24.231
There is no coming through. if god isn't a promise keeper,
00:21:24.298 --> 00:21:26.300
If god isn't a promise keeper, then i am out on
00:21:26.367 --> 00:21:27.401
Then i am out on a limb with no net.
00:21:27.468 --> 00:21:29.136
A limb with no net. if god doesn't do what
00:21:29.203 --> 00:21:31.005
If god doesn't do what he says he will do,
00:21:31.072 --> 00:21:32.807
He says he will do, then i am a fool
00:21:32.873 --> 00:21:35.409
Then i am a fool because i'm doubling down.
00:21:35.476 --> 00:21:36.811
I'm doubling down
00:21:36.911 --> 00:21:37.878
I'm doubling down on my consecration.
00:21:37.945 --> 00:21:39.613
On my consecration. i'm doubling down
00:21:39.680 --> 00:21:40.514
I'm doubling down on my convictions.
00:21:40.581 --> 00:21:42.283
On my convictions. i'm doubling down
00:21:42.350 --> 00:21:43.284
I'm doubling down on my commitments
00:21:43.351 --> 00:21:44.518
On my commitments and my investments.
00:21:44.585 --> 00:21:45.953
And my investments. i'm doubling down on rebuilding
00:21:46.020 --> 00:21:48.589
I'm doubling down on rebuilding the altar of god in my life,
00:21:48.656 --> 00:21:50.825
The altar of god in my life, remembering who god called
00:21:50.891 --> 00:21:52.159
Remembering who god called me and named me to be.
00:21:52.226 --> 00:21:53.828
Me and named me to be. and i am putting everything
00:21:53.894 --> 00:21:56.430
And i am putting everything on the altar."
00:21:56.497 --> 00:21:59.800
On the altar." and i'm saying,
00:21:59.867 --> 00:22:00.301
And i'm saying, "god, you can have it all.
00:22:00.368 --> 00:22:01.702
"god, you can have it all. you have it all.
00:22:01.769 --> 00:22:02.603
You have it all. it all belongs to you anyway.
00:22:02.670 --> 00:22:04.672
It all belongs to you anyway. i belong to you.
00:22:04.739 --> 00:22:06.006
I belong to you. my future, my family, my life,
00:22:06.073 --> 00:22:08.509
My future, my family, my life, my reputation,
00:22:08.576 --> 00:22:09.543
My reputation, it all is yours, god.
00:22:09.610 --> 00:22:11.278
It all is yours, god. i just want you to come
00:22:11.345 --> 00:22:12.446
I just want you to come through and show in
00:22:12.513 --> 00:22:13.781
Through and show in and through my life
00:22:13.848 --> 00:22:15.015
And through my life to the people around me
00:22:15.082 --> 00:22:16.384
To the people around me that you are god."
00:22:16.450 --> 00:22:20.855
That you are god." to want god is to be all in.
00:22:20.921 --> 00:22:23.824
To want god is to be all in. and i'm asking today,
00:22:23.891 --> 00:22:25.126
And i'm asking today, are you all in?
00:22:25.192 --> 00:22:28.396
Are you all in? because god is all in.
00:22:28.462 --> 00:22:31.565
Because god is all in. that's the fourth thing
00:22:31.632 --> 00:22:32.400
That's the fourth thing that just blew me away
00:22:32.466 --> 00:22:33.601
That just blew me away out of this text.
00:22:33.667 --> 00:22:34.568
Out of this text. this word, waver ,
00:22:34.635 --> 00:22:36.537
This word, waver , you can't study this text
00:22:36.604 --> 00:22:37.938
You can't study this text and not get focused
00:22:38.005 --> 00:22:39.240
And not get focused on this word.
00:22:39.306 --> 00:22:42.977
On this word. it's the word pronounced
00:22:43.043 --> 00:22:45.112
