The God Who Answers
A Word on God's Movement in our Life.
We live our lives in this world, where we seem to have no control. Where we look every where for answers.
We
seek answers from gods, idols and wisemen. We seek answers from deep
within ourselves. We seek solutions from sorcerors and alchemists. We
seek to join pop culture and the knowledge of our world. But we continue
to flounder in the dark.
In the Bible, there's a story of Elijah and the prophets of Baal. (1 Kings Chapter 18)
Evil
had taken over the land. The government was corrupt. The religion had
become corrupt and wicked. There was drought and famine in the land and
all the people were corrupted as well.
But God called Elijah to challenge the enemy. And Elijah went. He told the prophets of Baal.
"Let us pray over the alter of sacrifice and the God who sends fire is the real true God."
The prophets of Baal cried out to their god. They tried everything they could but nothing happened.
Then Elijah told them to pour water on the altar. Then more water. Then
Elijah prayed, and fire fell from heaven consuming the sacrifice, altar
and even the water.
The Lord, is the one true God, and he is the one who answers.
Our lives are broken and we've tried everything. And nothing has helped. Everything has failed.
God is calling you to turn to Him and ask Him. You've tried everything else.
It
doesn't matter how evil, how corrupt, or how much water you have poured
on it. God will come as a consuming fire and save you. Then, He will
change your life, if you give yourself to Him. (Acts 2:21 KJV)
Just
call on Him. He is waiting. He is seeking you. Just ask Him to save you
and confess that Jesus is the Lord, and you want Him to be your Lord. (Romans 10:9-10 KJV)
Believe in Him. Learn of Him, and trust Him and His promises.
