*Where Are the Elijahs of God?*
_Key Bible Text:_
*"Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months."* (James 5:17 (KJV))
_Bible Insight:_
To the question, ‘‘Where is the Lord God of Elijah?’’ we answer, ‘‘Where He has always been—on the throne!’’ But where are the Elijahs of God? We know Elijah was ‘‘a man of like passions as we are,’’ but alas! we are not men of like prayer as he was!
One praying man stands as a majority with God! Today God is bypassing men—not because they are too ignorant, but because they are too self-sufficient. Brethren, our
abilities are our handicaps, and our talents our stumbling blocks!
Out of obscurity, Elijah came on to the Old Testament stage, a full-grown man. Queen Jezebel, that daughter of hell, had routed the priests of God and replaced them with groves to false deities. Darkness covered the land and gross darkness the people, and
they were drinking iniquity like water. Every day the land, fouled with heathen temples and idolatrous rites, saw smoke curling from a thousand cruel altars.
All this was among a people who claimed Abraham as their father, and whose forebears had cried unto the Lord in their trouble and He had delivered them out of all their distresses. How the God of Glory had departed! the salt had lost its savour! the gold had become dim!
But out of this measureless backsliding, God raised up a man— not a committee, not a sect, not an angel—but a MAN, and a man of like passions as we are! God ‘‘sought for a man,’’ not to preach, but ‘‘to stand in the gap.’’ As Abraham, so now Elijah ‘‘stood before the Lord.’’
Therefore the blessed Holy Spirit could write the life of Elijah in two words: ‘‘He prayed.’’ No man can do more than that for God or for men. If the Church today had as many agonizers as she has advisers, we would have a revival in a year.
Such praying men are always our national benefactors. Elijah was such. He had heard a voice, seen a vision, tasted a power, measured an enemy, and, with God as partner, wrought a victory. The tears he shed, the soul agonies he endured, the groans he uttered, are all recorded in the book of the chronicles of the things of God.
At last Elijah emerged to prophesy with divine infallibility. He knew the mind of God. Therefore he— one man—strangled a nation and altered the course of nature. This ‘‘crag of a man’’ stood as majestic and immovable as the mountains of Gilead, as he shut up the heavens with a word. By the key of faith, which fits every lock, Elijah locked heaven, pocketed the key, and made Ahab tremble.

*The Tragedy of Knowledge Without Zeal*
_Key Bible Text:_
*"And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell."* (Matthew 10:28 (KJV))
_Bible Insight:_
Charlie Peace was a criminal. Laws of God or man curbed him not. Finally the law caught up with him, and he was condemned to death.
On the fatal morning in Armley
Jail, Leeds, England, he was taken on the death-walk. Before him went the prison chaplain, routinely and sleepily reading some Bible verses.
The criminal touched the preacher and asked what he was reading. ‘‘The Consolations of Religion,’’ was the reply. Charlie Peace was shocked at the way he professionally read about hell.
Could a man be so unmoved under the very shadow of the scaffold as to lead a fellow-human there and yet, dry-eyed, read of a pit that has no bottom into which this fellow must fall?
Could this preacher believe the words that there is an eternal fire that never consumes its victims, and yet slide over the phrase without a tremor?
Is a man human at all who can say with no tears, ‘‘You will be eternally dying and yet never know the relief that death brings’’?
All this was too much for Charlie Peace. So he preached. Listen to his on-the-eve-of-hell sermon.
‘‘Sir,’’ addressing the preacher, ‘‘if I believed what you and the church of God say that you believe, even if England were covered with broken glass from coast to coast, I would walk over it, if need be, on hands and knees and think it worthwhile living, just to save one soul from an eternal hell like that!’’
My reader, because the Church has lost Holy Ghost fire, men go to hell-fire! We need a vision of a holy God. God is essentially holy. The cherubim and seraphim were not
crying, ‘‘Omnipotent! Omnipotent is the Lord!’’ nor ‘‘Omnipresent! and Omniscient! is the Lord,’’ but ‘‘Holy! Holy Holy!’’
This vast Hebrew concept needs to penetrate our souls again. If I make my bed in hell, if I take the wings of the morning—yet He is there.
_MEDITATION:_
*"God compasses us in time; God, the inescapable God, awaits us in eternity. We had better be at peace with Him here, and be in the center of His will now!"*

*Prayer Grasps Eternity* (II)
_Key Bible Text:_
*"The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit...Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice."* (Psalms 34:18; 51:8 (KJV))
_Bible Insight:_
This world hits the trail for hell with a speed that makes our fastest plane look like a tortoise; yet alas, few of us can remember the last time we missed our bed for a night of waiting upon God for a world-shaking revival. Our compassions are not moved.
We mistake the scaffolding for the building. Present-day preaching, with its pale interpretation of divine truths, causes us to mistake action for unction, commotion for creation, and rattles for revivals.
*The secret of praying is praying in secret. A sinning man will stop praying, and a praying man will stop sinning.* We are beggared and bankrupt, but not broken, nor even bent.
Prayer is profoundly simple and simply profound. ‘‘Prayer is the simplest form of speech that infant lips can try,’’ and yet so sublime that it outranges all speech and exhausts man’s vocabulary. A Niagara of burning words does not mean that God is either impressed or moved. One of the most profound of Old Testament intercessors had no language—‘‘Her lips moved, but her voice was not heard.’’ No linguist here! There are ‘‘groanings which cannot be uttered.’’
Are we so substandard to New Testament Christianity that we know not the historical faith of our fathers (with its implications and operations), but only the hysterical faith of our fellows? Prayer is to the believer what capital is to the business man.
Can any deny that in the modern church setup the main cause of anxiety is money? Yet that which tries the modern churches the most, troubled the New Testament Church the least. Our accent is on paying, theirs was on praying. When we have paid, the place is taken; when they had prayed, the place was shaken!
_MEDITATION:_
*"In the matter of New Testament, Spirit-inspired, hell-shaking, world-breaking prayer, never has so much been left by so many to so few. For this kind of prayer there is no substitute. We do it— or die!"*

*NO DRIFTING*
_Key Bible Text:_
*It's crucial that we keep a firm grip on what we've heard so that we don't drift off. If the old message delivered by the angels was valid and nobody got away with anything, do you think we can risk neglecting this latest message, this magnificent salvation? First of all, it was delivered in person by the Master, then accurately passed on to us by those who heard it from him. All the while God was validating it with gifts through the Holy Spirit, all sorts of signs and miracles, as he saw fit.* (Hebrews 2:1-4 (The Message))
_Bible Insight:_
AT the end of one school semester, my wife and I picked up our daughter from her school 100 kilometers (60 miles) away. On our way back home we detoured to a nearby beach resort for snacks. While enjoying our time there, we watched the boats at the seashore. Usually, they are anchored to prevent them from drifting away, but I noticed one boat drifting unhindered, among the others-- slowly and steadily making its way out to sea.
As we drove home, I reflected on the timely caution given to believers in the book of Hebrews: "We must pay the most careful attention, therefore, to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away." (Hebrews 2:1) We have good reason to stay close. The author of Hebrews says that while the Mosaic law was reliable and needed to be obeyed, the message of the Son of God is far superior. Our salvation is "so great" in Jesus that He shouldn't be ignored. (Hebrews 2:3))
Drifting in our relationship with God is hardly noticeable at first; it happens gradually. *_However, spending time talking, with Him in prayer and reading His word, confessing our wrongs to Him and interacting with other followers of Jesus can help us stay anchored in Him._* As we connect with the Lord regularly, He will be faithful to sustain us, and we can avoid drifting away.
_MEDITATION:_
*“WHAT do you know about Jesus that keeps you wanting to be near Him?"*
To avoid drifting away from God, stay anchored to the Rock.
