Pastor Daniel Batarseh explores the life of the prophet Elijah, highlighting his unique character as a man of radical intimacy, obedience, and prayer. He challenges the church to stop asking "Where is the God of Elijah?" and instead ask, "Where are the Elijahs of God?"

• 1Public spiritual authority and boldness are the direct results of a private life spent in the presence of God.
• 2True spiritual messengers are motivated by a heart broken by what breaks God's heart, rather than by personal gain or 'business.'
• 3Obedience often requires trusting God's provision through unexpected or even 'unclean' sources when following His specific commands.
• 4Elijah's humanity ('a nature like ours') proves that his spiritual power was not due to a special status, but to his radical dependence on God through prayer.
• 5The solution to a spiritual drought in a nation is not just seeking God's power, but providing God with individuals willing to walk in radical devotion.

Practical ways to apply this message to your life.

• Examine your life for 'limping between two opinions' and make a firm decision to follow God wholeheartedly in areas of compromise.
• When your 'brook dries up' (resources or circumstances fail), resist the urge to panic-move; instead, wait for a clear word from the Lord before changing direction.
• Identify a 'big prayer' for your family or nation that aligns with God's Word and commit to praying it fervently, believing that God still answers like He did for Elijah.
• Cultivate a heart of brokenness over the spiritual state of your community rather than becoming cynical or indifferent.
