    The ELIJAH SPIRIT OUTPOURINGby Elijah Spirit on Saturday, April 23, 2011 at 1:03pmThe boldness and faithfulness of Elijah stands out like a lighthouse in the midst of a dangerous sea. He was a strict and selfless zealot for the adoration of God but endearingly human. The name Elijah means whose God is YHWH. Elijah burstsupon Bible history without warning and then just as suddenly, miraculously disappears. He appears as a supernatural messenger from heaven with a chosen job to

    do and a single mindedness to accomplish Gods will. As promised, his spirit has returned to our generation.

    His spirit has influenced all the prophets to follow. Ahab the King of Israel had taken for wife a Canaanite woman named Jezebel, daughter of Eth-baal. "And Ahab, the son of Omri did evil in the sight of the Lord above all that were beforehim." Showing a weak and vacillating character, Ahab tolerated Jezebel and allowed the practice of Phoenician worship in Israel on a grand scale. The false prophets and priests of Baal were chosen in great numbers and were known to sacrifice infants at the altar. Elijah suddenly appears before Ahab speaking words of majestic power and proclaims God's vengeance for the apostasy of King Ahab and thecorruption of Israel. Elijah challenged the priests of Baal and consumed them i

    n the fullness and power of the Holy Spirit by calling down fire from heaven.

    Elijah's unquestioning faith in God was boundless and that passionate faith washis purpose in life. "I have been very jealous for the Lord God of Hosts," he would say, and his courage was a fearless example to Gods prophets since. He was arecluse by nature and only appeared before men in Gods own time to deliver His message, enforce it by a miraculous sign, and then disappear again. Elisha asked from him a double measure of his spirit.

    Elijah's prophetic spirit left a great impression upon Israel. He became the archetype of the promised forerunner of the great and dreadful day of the Lord of hosts. "Behold I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the greatand dreadful day of the Lord."

    Zacharias, the father of John the Baptist received a message from an angel telling him that his son will come in the spirit and power of Elijah. Jesus taught the truth of an end time Elijah to come to His disciples in the future tense afterJohn the Baptist was dead:

    Elias truly shall first come and restore all things. And he shall go before Himin the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.

    Jesus had suggested that John the Baptist was the expected Elijah but John had d

    enied being the Christ, Elijah or the prophet to come. John the Baptist was thereturn of the spirit of Elijah, but just as it was Elijah before the first coming of Christ, so it will be before the second.

    There is a lot being revealed lately about the Elijah company, being a corporateElijah that come with his spirit in the last days as a group rather than one man. Believe it, there will be many who will be revealed with the manifest sons ofGod who have transcended the religious system brainwash and bursting forth withdenunciation and spiritual outpouring in the power of Elijah.

    If the church is to be renewed through the truth, a servant of God must stand forth in the spirit of Elijah and set things in motion. In truth, many of them wil

    l have to be roused, so that with the greatest possible zeal and with passionateearnestness they may sweep Christendom clean of ungodly practices

    The ministry of Elijah will be in the warning of impending judgment and the broadcasting of restoration principles to a church starving for truth and thirstingfor the power of the Holy Ghost.Elijah will warn the church of its false practices, denounce the false leadership and prophesy the downfall of the false church and false prophets. He will comeand "restore all things." Restoration principles are the apostolic truths and spiritual power that the c

    hurch has rejected. "He will turn the hearts of the fathers to their children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers." This will not be business as usual. Will the people listen? Many will and it is in this acceptance that more drastic judgments will be averted: "Else I will come, and strike the land with a curse." It is in the blessings of this latter rain outpouring that a great revival will commence over the entire earth through the marriage supper of the Lamb.

    Unfortunately, many will not heed the warnings of Elijah, including the church,and it is in this denial that Christian Babylon will show forth her apostasy byrejecting and opposing the outpouring. They will be cut off from fellowship withGods spirit. Daniel writes that "many shall be purified and made white and tried, but the wicked shall do wickedly and none of the wicked shall understand, but

    the wise shall understand." The wickedness and apostasy of the church is in themain - the refusal to put away their pride long enough to be able to love.

    Elijah's words will burn like an intense flame, subduing his enemies with the sword of the spirit. God has given him the power to control the elements and perform miracles. He will set the trumpet to his mouth and come as an eagle against the house of the Lord. He will be more of a social revolutionary than evangelistand can only teach the Christian freedom taught by Jesus by denouncing the legalism of the churches and the oppression and right wing tyranny and oppression ofthe forces of Anti-christ. This is not what people will be expecting and Babyloncan only hate, fear, oppose and disrespect himThe cry of Elijah will be the cry of the oppressed and by his word will nationsarise to denounce the nature of the beast. He will be able to enter a congregati

    on and call down a powerful invocation reminiscent of Pentecost and the Lord will suddenly appear like the mighty rushing wind of old. False prophets and the proud have no power over him, their tongues will stammer and they will be left asfools. He is able to stretch forth his hand in rebuke and call spiritual fire from heaven. The ministers of the Lord will weep between the porch and altar and they are left alone to bear recompense for the iniquities of Babylon. "As the Lord God of Israel lives, before whom I stand."Like Share DeleteRelationship Status SingleSex FemaleContact InformationFacebook http://facebook.com/elijah.spirit1
