Prophetic Shelter

BIRTHING A PROPHETIC PEOPLE: Prophetic Shelter
1 Kings 19:9-10

The prophet Eiijah is sheltered in for safety trying to escape Jezebel, an evil Queen, who vowed to kill him. He finds himself stuck in a cave. God asks him “Elijah, why are you here?” Ask yourself, “Why are you where you are?”

Are you are in a place of Fear, Fatigue, or Frustration? No matter where you are, there is hope for you! Do not be weary in well doing.

The cave may have protected Elijah from danger, but it did not separate him from his fears. You can run away from danger, but you can’t run away from fear. You have to deal with the fear that’s within you.

In order to eradicate Elijah’s fear, God had to engage in some faith exercises. Do not forget the power of God that’s within you. In order for your fear to be dealt with, you have to combat it with faith.

After the Lord builds Elijah’s faith, Elijah grabs his mantel which represents his ministry & legacy. After Elijah grabs his mantel, God begins to speak to him concerning his ministry. Where is your mantel? Where is the assignment that God has called you to?

What was Elijah told to do? God told Elijah to anoint 3 particular people:
1. Elisha - This anointing represents those who will come after you. Know that God has put something on you to anoint those who come after you. Pray for your children & those you mentor. God was going to give Elisha a double portion of his anointing. Those who come after you will be twice as successful as you are.
2. Jehu - He’s going to be the next King of Israel. Jehu goes on a war path and destroy every ungodly thing. Word got back to Jezebel. Jehu had the anointing to kill what tried to kill Elijah. The next generation has an anointing to push past everything that tried to destroy you.
3. Hazael - He is a soldier that is against Israel. Even your enemies are under the control of your God.

Everything that God was going to do through Elijah for his life was built in the cave! Your home is a Prophetic Shelter!
