Fighting For Your Faith:
Standing On The Mountain

1st Timothy 6:12
1st Kings 18:17-40
1. The Build Up
1st Kings 18:17-22
God was slowly taking away what they were dependent on, dismantling their reliance on false strengths.

If you are facing challenges today, pause and actively look for where God is working, but you may have to actively look for it at first.
2. The Battle
1st Kings 18:23-29
Other gods will ALWAYS be proven to be false gods.

Just like today, false gods demand a heavy price but never deliver.

What false gods are demanding a price from you today and keeping you from the One True God?
3. The Triumph
1st Kings 18:30-40
The false prophets took hours imploring their false god in gruesome ways to answer. Elijah simply prayed.

Just as your physical life requires constant breathing, so too does your spiritual life require constant surrender, receiving of grace, and the constant working of your spiritual muscles.

Are you standing on the mountain or walking through the drought? Write an honest prayer that sums up your feelings, thoughts, and expectations before God at this moment and then go to the altar and pray it!
How do I meet Jesus and be saved?
A - Admit to God that you are a sinner and repent - turn away from - your sins. (Romans 3:23)
B - Believe that Jesus is God’s Son - Savior, Christ & Lord - and accept His free gift of forgiveness and grace. (John 3:16, Romans 5:8)
C- Confess your faith in Jesus Christ as your Savior and Lord. (Romans 10:9)
