S: 1 Kings 18:37 "O Lord , answer me! Answer me so these people will know that you, O Lord , are God and that you have brought them back to yourself."
O: Elijah was putting God to the test. He wanted to expose idolatry and help bring people back to the true God of Israel. He was putting God on display, asking him to perform a miracle in front of the rest of these people who were relying on Baal. He not only wanted to prove that God was the only God but that he is a personal God who wanted a relationship with them.
A: Am I calling the lost to drop their idols and trust in Jesus alone? Am I putting Jesus on display by calling upon him to do the impossible? I need to ask non believers what they want prayer for and see God perform miracles on their behalf, to have them experience God in this way.
P: Jesus, help me to ask to pray for the lost around me. May your miraculous power be put on display so that the lost may see your power, drop their idols, and realize you have brought them back to you.

S: Colossians 2:14 "He cancelled the record of the charges against us and took it away by nailing it to the cross."
ReplyDeleteO: Paul was saying that because of the cross and Jesus' death, all the wrong things we have done have been forgotten.
A/P: Jesus, help me to remember when I do wrong things that you have died for them and you will not remember them.
