Scriptures for Today 1Ki 18:17 And it came to pass, when Ahab saw Elijah,
that Ahab said unto him, Art thou he
that troubleth Israel? 1Ki 18:18 And he answered, I have not troubled
Israel; but thou, and thy father's house, in that ye have forsaken the
commandments of the LORD, and thou hast followed Baalim. 1Ki 18:19 Now therefore send, and gather to me all Israel unto mount Carmel,
and the prophets of Baal four hundred and fifty, and the prophets of the
groves four hundred, which eat at Jezebel's table. 1Ki 18:20 So Ahab sent unto all the children of
Israel, and gathered the prophets together unto mount Carmel. 1Ki 18:21 And Elijah came unto all the people, and
said, How long halt ye between two opinions? if the LORD be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him
not a word. 1Ki 18:22 Then said Elijah unto the people, I, even I only, remain a prophet of the LORD; but
Baal's prophets are four hundred and
fifty men. 1Ki 18:23 Let them therefore give us two bullocks;
and let them choose one bullock for themselves, and cut it in pieces, and lay
it on wood, and put no fire under: and I will dress the other bullock, and
lay it on wood, and put no fire under: 1Ki 18:24 And call ye on the name of your gods, and
I will call on the name of the LORD: and the God that answereth by fire, let
him be God. And all the people answered and said, It is well spoken. 1Ki 18:26 And they took the bullock which was given
them, and they dressed it, and called
on the name of Baal from morning even until noon, saying, O Baal, hear us.
But there was no voice, nor any that
answered. And they leaped upon the altar which was made. 1Ki 18:27 And it came to pass at noon, that Elijah
mocked them, and said, Cry aloud: for he is
a god; either he is talking, or he is pursuing, or he is in a journey, or peradventure he sleepeth, and must be
awaked. 1Ki 18:30 And Elijah said unto all the people, Come
near unto me. And all the people came near unto him. And he repaired the
altar of the LORD that was broken
down. 1Ki 18:31 And Elijah took twelve stones, according
to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, unto whom the word of the
LORD came, saying, Israel shall be thy name: 1Ki 18:32 And with the stones he built an altar in
the name of the LORD: and he made a trench about the altar, as great as would
contain two measures of seed. 1Ki 18:33 And he put the wood in order, and cut the
bullock in pieces, and laid him on the
wood, and said, Fill four barrels with water, and pour it on the burnt sacrifice, and on the wood. 1Ki 18:34 And he said, Do it the second time. And they did it
the second time. And he said, Do it
the third time. And they did it the
third time. 1Ki 18:35 And the water ran round about the altar;
and he filled the trench also with water. 1Ki 18:36 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 of Israel, let it be known
this day that thou art God in Israel,
and that I am
thy servant, and that I have done all
these things at thy word. 1Ki 18:37 Hear me, O LORD, hear me, that this people
may know that thou art the LORD God,
and that thou hast turned their heart back
again. 1Ki 18:38 Then the fire of the LORD fell, and
consumed the burnt sacrifice, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and
licked up the water that was in the
trench. 1Ki 18:39 And when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces: and they said,
The LORD, he is the God; the LORD, he is the God. 1Ki 19:3 And when he saw that, he arose, and went for his life, and came to
Beersheba, which belongeth to Judah,
and left his servant there. 1Ki 19:4 But he himself went a day's journey into the
wilderness, and came and sat down under a juniper tree: and he requested for
himself that he might die; and said, It is enough; now, O LORD, take away my
life; for I am not better than my
fathers. 1Ki 19:10 And he said, I have been very jealous for the
LORD God of hosts: for the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant,
thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to
take it away. He said in John 8:31 and 32: Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my
disciples indeed; Joh 8:32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you
free. Return to Living Streams Ministry |
