Bible Reading: 1 King 18 : 23 – 46

Sermon Highlights
• When you see God move from nothing to something, you will believe God more
• All the power we have in God is in His word because God is His word
• John 1:1 – 3
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the
beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.”
• Everything you are or going to be will come from the word.
• God sent Elijah to go before Ahab and Elijah went boldly because where the word of God is there is power.
• As a Pastor my word is accomplished if I can just get you to begin to hear God for yourself, so the day you
begin to hear God for yourself, my work is done
• Unless you begin to hear God, everything you do here is religion
• You never know the word that God has hidden in you until the day of trouble
• Salvation is Free but the rest of the journey is not free, you must seek out your salvation with fear and
trembling
• Show me someone who does not hear from God and I will show you someone who will fall into a ditch
• You cannot afford to be spiritually blind as child of God.
• Psalm 53 – “Why does the enemy eat my people like bread, because they have no knowledge
• Hosea 6 – “My people perish for lack of knowledge”
• Romans 8:14 “as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God”
• Fear is the opposite of Faith
• 2nd Corinthians 10 : 3 – 6
• 1 King 18 – After Elijah had commanded the heavens to be shut and no rain, he ran away from Jezebel.
Anytime you carry the word of God with no fear Jezebel (the devil) will come after you but do not be afraid.
• You do not need to be a Pastor to be visited by God
• Hebrew 11:1 “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen”
• A lot of times when you are praying, nothing will seem to happen but keep praying until something
happens.
• Elijah could overtake Ahab because the hand of the Lord was upon Elijah
To operate in the next dimension which God is preparing you and to overtake you must do the following:
Overtake means to catch up with or to pass while travelling in the same direction
1. Confront your tormentor with the word of God, call for a verdict
2. Repair the Alter of your family – begin to hold prayer meeting again
3. Silence the priest of hell
Prayer Points
1. Father, in the name of Jesus I lift up my hands to you what the enemy is saying, Lord proof yourself to my
enemy that you are the one who has called me, show yourself mighty Lord.
2. Lord let your fire fall upon my life in the name of Jesus
3. Father, open the heavens over me, over my family, over the church and let it rain. Let it rain into my
business and onto my job.
4. Father, every false prophet, every witch prophesying against the church or against my life, let them die y fire
and thunder, in Jesus name.
5. Father, every snake tormenting my life, tormenting my children, tormenting this church, we cut them with
the sword of the spirit. They will not torment us again, in Jesus name.
6. Father, let your hand be with me on my job, business and on the church and all the ministers. Touch us
again like you touched Elijah.
7. Lord make me an overtaker, by your hand. No more stagnation. No more going round and round in circles.
Prophetic Declaration
• When you come to a place where the Devil said it is finished, God will speak for you
• God will punish the disobedience of the enemy when your own obedience is complete
• God will visit you today.
• Every syringe of any witch trying to draw your blood, the needle will break
• Your enemies will run away so that you can hear from God
• I hear the sound of abundance of rain for this church, in our family, on our jobs and in our businesses.
• You will overtake all those who had overtaken you, you will overtake all your competitors and you will
overtake all your neighbours in everything that is good
