ITS TIME FOR ELIJAH TO GO
Tim Lahaye: Elijah is going to come before the Lord appears. Potentially, John the Baptist was Elijah, because he didn't forfill the prophecy of Malachi 4-5-6 he did not become the predicted Elijah. A different person in the spirit and power of Elijah will forfill the prophecies about the coming Elijah(Isaiah 40:3; Malachi 3:1 4:5-6)
Oswald Chambers: It is not wrong for you to depend on your Elijah for as long as God gives him to you. But remember that the time will come when he must leave and will no longer be your guide and your leader, because God didn't intend for him to stay. Even the thought of that causes you to say, I cannot continue without my Elijah.
Yet God says you must continue.
We have all people we look up to and depend on in life for a reason or a lift up for faith. There isn't nothing wrong with that, no one wants to walk the walk alone. There's always that voice that refreshes your soul and reminds you of Jesus and draws you to Him, again there is nothing wrong with that and never will be.
But for us all, we must learn to stand on our own and to know the Lord personally and learn to let Him be your all and all not a man. I kinda saw a need to learn to stand on my own, I had no choice because no one was for me, or stood beside me. I had no Elijah in my life, and kinda glad I wouldn't be who I am if I did.
There is no such thing as a super Christian or even a strong Christian. The only Believer that can stand the fire and come out still in Christ is the Believer who understand's and see's that need for Jesus daily. You can be strong minded or strong willed but only that can come about with the understanding Believer seeing their need for His Love daily.
I'm a defensive person and I have trust issue's been lied to and extreme extortion for the last 6 years, but in all those character flaws, I still love Jesus, I don't blame Him for others actions and still have the fullness of His Love daily. That's victory and that's your salvation, know that and apply that daily and your Elijah's in your life, well once that applied not needed as much.
A Prophet Apostle or even a Preacher man of God etc, their main job in this life is to teach and help you understand we need Jesus and His Love in our lives to be the people He meant for us. And we come and we go, that's life can't extort people for answers kinda go wrong there. Whatever happened to a friendly ask ???
still confused there ??
Malachi 4:5-6 says I will send you Elijah He will turn the hearts of the fathers to their children and the hearts of children to the fathers. How can people love each other fully without fear ??? Trust loyalty and having a track record of being a dependable trustworthy person can birth good healthy relationships. With anyone.
Honestly without the love of the Lord active in my life, I can't be that person, because fear will cripple me. It's time for extortion against Elijah to end, it's time for the choice of many's heart come into play. A prophet is God's mercy plea to mankind, if man rejects the Prophet you lose the Prophet's reward. It's time for Elijah to go, and it's time for you to understand your Lord's salvation plan for your life.
It's as simple as 1 2 3 drink this water and live.
