Elijah and Elisha eBook
The kings of Israel and Judah were in serious trouble with the Lord. Many years of worshiping Baal and golden calves, listening to Jezebel, and killing the prophets was catching up to them. Their earthly kingdoms were coming to an end, and the Lord would move quickly when he moved. What appeared to be harmless details to them was in fact rebellion in the sight of God.
While the kings served the gods of this world, Elijah and Elisha did not. They were dedicated only to the Word of the Lord, and if the Lord didn’t speak directly to them, they didn’t move at all. And when they did move, it was with the authority of the Lord, resulting in dramatic calling down of fire from heaven, a three-year drought, people raised from the dead, and many other miraculous events. But did Elijah and Elisha take any glory? No, Elisha didn’t even accept Naaman’s token of appreciate – so completely was he relying only on the Lord’s provision.
The lives of Elijah and Elisha, as well as the corrupt lives of the kings, serve as important lessons for us today. In addition, there are many prophecies in 1 and 2 Kings that are now being fulfilled. In fact, the entire account is filled with living parables that are relevant today. The last Chapter of 1 Kings ends with the prophetic ministry facing serious jeopardy. The first Chapter of 2 Kings opens with an awesome supernatural vindication of God’s prophet. Even Elijah seems to have been unaware of exactly when the timeline went past a tipping point into a new day in which the true prophets were never forced to retreat. We seem to be approaching a similar tipping point today.
Your own life will be changed forever if you heed the truth that the Lord reveals to you in this boo

God’s Chosen Prophets at a Critical Moment for God’s People
The kings of Israel and Judah were in serious trouble with the Lord. Twelve years of worshiping Baal, listening to Jezebel, and killing the prophets were catching up to them. The Northern and Southern earthly kingdoms were coming to an end. God warned them that he would move quickly. What appeared to be harmless details to them was in fact rebellion in the sight of God.
The kingdom leaders served the gods of this world, however, Elijah and Elisha did not. They were dedicated only to the Word of the Lord. Both prophets didn’t move at all if the Lord didn’t speak directly to them. When they did move, it was with the authority of the Lord. He allowed them in a dramatic calling down of fire from heaven, a three-year drought, people raised from the dead, and many other miraculous events. But did Elijah and Elisha take any glory? No. Elijah wouldn’t even accept Naaman’s token of appreciation – so completely was he relying only on the Lord’s provision.
Elijah and Elisha, as well as the corrupt lives of the kings, serve as important lessons for us today. In addition, there are many prophecies in 1 and 2 Kings that are now being fulfilled. Your own life will be changed forever if you apply even one truth that the Lord reveals to you in this book, Elijah & Elisha by Russell Stendal.
