Every now & then the Church have to take on the Spirit of Elijah.

Mt. Carmel

The Lord is getting ready to have a ‘Show Down.; Be ready to do what HE has assigned us to do. We need to know that God will make sense out of non-sense to us. God will tell you to use what HE show you to use.

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

King Ahab was a hard headed against Israel.

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Sometimes we lose things because we are hard headed.

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

If God is God serve HIM, if baal is baal serve him. You can’t have it both ways.
