“And if it seems evil to you to serve the LORD, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the river, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.” Jos 24:15

Elijah #13
God answers prayer in accordance with His will (Jam 5:13-18). To be "righteous" is to have have imputed righteousness from having believed in Christ (Jam 5:16). Our prayers are effective if they are in accordance with His word. Elisha was being faithful in his family position (1Ki 19:19-21). Elisha is introduced as Elijah's replacement and servant (2Ki 3:11). Elijah plays a role in the future (Mal 4:1-6). His work will be reconciliation of families.

Elijah's life shows us the keys to spiritual power: the power of God's Word faith prayer revival and failure.
