Let's continue on from Afterward: "Bring it to Him" Part 1, in 1 Kings 17 with the Prophet Elijah, the widow, and her son.
Blessings always come after we do what the Lord has told us to do. Some people want the blessings first. God doesn't work like that.
Afterward: "Bring it to Him" Part 2
Sometimes we think when God blesses us, it's for us, but it's for somebody who's going to see and hear, and it'll give them hope.
Never think your faithfulness is just for you. It's for others too. Someone will see you operating in it, and it'll cause them to do the same. The Lord had to build up the widow's faith. Her faith had to grow.
Fear is a strong, controlling spirit. It will bring us out of the Kingdom of God.
In verse 13, we see fear is a spirit that will attack our faith. Whenever God is about to do something in our life, we cannot be fearful. Fear will hold us back from doing what the Lord wants to do in our lives. Fear will also stop us from praising, worshipping, giving, fasting, and even loving others.
Furthermore, fear will keep us living in our past; it will never take us into your present or future, and it will hold us back from operating in our gift of releasing a prophetic word.
The things that were done were not for Elijah and the widow; they were for the widow's son.
Now by this miracle being performed in her son's life, the widow now knew that the Prophet Elijah was a true man of God!
"Then the Lord heard the voice of Elijah; and the soul of the child came back to him, and he revived. And Elijah took the child and brought him down from the upper room into the house, and gave him to his mother. And Elijah said, "See, your son lives!" Then the woman said to Elijah, "Now by this I know that you are a man of God, and that the word of the Lord in your mouth is the truth." (1 Kings 17:22-24 NKJV)
Many of us are about to be in our "now by this" season. Now by this, I know that He is Lord, He is God Jehovah, a miracle worker, and a way maker.
