Lessons From Elijah - Three-CD Album
Elijah's life is full of examples, both good and bad, of how we are to walk with the Lord in a way that will make a difference. We must follow God's leading to be in a place to receive.

Elijah experienced many successes in his life; however, following some of his greatest victories, he faced his greatest defeat. Learn from Elijah's downfall how to remain victorious.
Detail
We don't have to learn everything by hard knocks. The Lord said that His dealings with people, recorded in His Word, were written for us to learn by their examples (1 Cor. 10:6, 11). The life of Elijah is rich with examples, both good and bad, of how we are to walk with the Lord in a way that makes a difference.
A Place Called There
The Lord told Elijah to hide by the brook Cherith for He HAD commanded the ravens to feed him THERE. God's provision wasn't sent to where Elijah was. God sent his provision to where He told Elijah to go. Likewise, God always provides for us, but we may not see it if we aren't there. There is a place called "there" for all of us, where we must obey God's directions for our lives.
Holy Fire
It isn't enough just to see a miracle from God; God's miracles happen for a purpose. Elijah capitalized on the drought by challenging the whole nation with a test to find out who was the true and only God. Elijah was politically incorrect by mocking his opponents and eventually killing them, but we can't compromise with unbelief. We need to fight until we destroy the enemy, and it takes the fire of God to do that.
Elijah's Downfall
Elijah succeeded as no other prophet ever had. He started and stopped a three-year drought. He multiplied food for three years. He was the first person to raise another person from the dead. He called fire down from heaven and caused a whole nation to turn back to God. He destroyed all the prophets of the false gods. He was so excited that he outran a chariot in a 20-mile race, but in just a few hours, Elijah was so depressed that he asked God to take his life. Often our greatest defeats follow our greatest victories. Find out why, by taking a look at Elijah's downfall.
