The Spirit of Elijah Comes First – If You Really Love JESUS
A Confrontational Preaching Anointing
If you love Jesus and want him back soon, think about this: Malachi 4. The Spirit of Elijah comes first.
Malachi 4 4Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments. 5Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD: 6And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.
Jesus also confirmed this:
“Elijah COMES FIRST, and restores all things.” Matthew 17:11
The Spirit of Elijah did not turn hearts of people by preaching a message on ‘turning your hearts’.
He didn’t say “Fathers, turn your hearts back to your children. Children, turn your hearts back to your fathers,” even though those would have been very good messages.
When he prayed, he told God “Let them know that you have turned their hearts again.” But that’s not what he said to the people.
He didn’t say “Everybody turn your hearts back to God please.”
What did Elijah actually do? Read 1 Kings 18:17-40
The Spirit of Elijah set up a confrontation with idols and false prophets. He let them have the stage for as much time as they wanted. He let them set up their altars. He let them have the advantage, 450 to 1. He clowned them. He gave himself a disadvantage, making his altar especially hard to “catch fire” by dousing it with water.
What did all the wishy washy, 2 opinion cowards say when it was time for the confrontation – “not a word.” They really didn’t know whether to worship God or Baal (the idol of money & power) (1 Kings 18:21).
But when the fire came, the people automatically said “the Lord is God.” Then he killed all the false prophets.
This is the same spirit of Elijah that manifested in John the Baptist before the first coming of Jesus the Messiah.
He confronted the religious leaders of his day that really worshipped Baal (the god of money & power).
They were good at getting money, but not good at loving God with real fruit. He gave himself a disadvantage – preaching in the desert instead of on a mountain or in the middle of the city, or the temple. His father was a High Priest, he could have had an easy platform if he wanted.
People came out to hear and repent and be baptized, and he rebuked the false religious and political leaders of his day.
A Confrontational Preaching Anointing is what God will manifest before Christ’s 2nd Coming also.
If you really love Jesus Christ and want to see Him soon, don’t be scared to confront the false idols and false prophets of today.
That’s what is necessary to see revival, a great awakening, the last days harvest, and the 2nd coming of Jesus Christ.
Do you really love Jesus or not?
If I had known this before, I would have entitled my book: “Bringing Jesus Back Quicker.”
Why, because Holiness Hastens the coming of the Lord (2 Peter 3:12). But alas, too late, it’s called Killing Idols For REVIVAL. Order it today.
