00:05:08.480 --> 00:05:12.100
Okay,<00:05:08.699><c> he</c><00:05:08.839><c> allowed</c><00:05:09.139><c> Jezebel</c><00:05:09.980><c> to</c><00:05:10.519><c> use</c><00:05:10.860><c> him</c><00:05:11.040><c> and</c><00:05:11.300><c> to</c><00:05:11.579><c> persecute</c>

00:05:15.319 --> 00:05:19.139
We<00:05:15.459><c> saw</c><00:05:15.540><c> that</c><00:05:15.740><c> Elijah</c><00:05:16.079><c> was</c><00:05:16.360><c> a</c><00:05:16.600><c> man</c><00:05:16.740><c> of</c><00:05:17.360><c> total</c><00:05:18.000><c> conviction</c><00:05:18.699><c> and</c>

00:05:32.819 --> 00:05:35.639
We<00:05:33.000><c> saw</c><00:05:33.160><c> in</c><00:05:33.360><c> James</c><00:05:33.639><c> as</c><00:05:33.860><c> well</c><00:05:34.000><c> that</c><00:05:34.379><c> off</c><00:05:34.699><c> his</c><00:05:34.920><c> own</c><00:05:35.160><c> initiative,</c>

00:05:40.579 --> 00:05:43.500
He<00:05:40.980><c> prayed</c><00:05:41.259><c> as</c><00:05:41.480><c> a</c><00:05:41.660><c> way</c><00:05:41.819><c> to</c><00:05:42.160><c> bring</c><00:05:42.339><c> the</c><00:05:42.600><c> people</c><00:05:42.819><c> back</c><00:05:43.120><c> to</c><00:05:43.319><c> God,</c>

00:05:49.819 --> 00:05:52.980
And<00:05:50.019><c> amazingly,</c><00:05:50.360><c> we</c><00:05:50.680><c> saw</c><00:05:51.019><c> that</c><00:05:51.439><c> God</c><00:05:51.720><c> agreed</c><00:05:52.199><c> with</c><00:05:52.459><c> this</c><00:05:52.720><c> plan,</c>

00:05:53.079 --> 00:05:54.560
not<00:05:53.279><c> because</c><00:05:53.680><c> it</c><00:05:53.879><c> was</c><00:05:54.100><c> necessarily</c>

00:05:54.560 --> 00:05:57.420
the<00:05:54.839><c> best</c><00:05:54.959><c> plan,</c><00:05:55.779><c> but</c><00:05:56.000><c> because</c><00:05:56.259><c> he</c><00:05:56.399><c> saw</c><00:05:56.540><c> the</c><00:05:56.800><c> passion</c><00:05:57.120><c> and</c><00:05:57.279><c> he</c>

00:06:07.220 --> 00:06:09.980
And<00:06:07.420><c> we</c><00:06:07.579><c> saw,</c><00:06:07.939><c> of</c><00:06:08.199><c> course,</c><00:06:08.480><c> that</c><00:06:08.579><c> God's</c><00:06:08.879><c> doing</c><00:06:09.000><c> the</c><00:06:09.199><c> same</c><00:06:09.379><c> thing</c><00:06:09.720><c> to</c>

00:06:09.980 --> 00:06:10.939
us,<00:06:10.199><c> and</c><00:06:10.300><c> we</c><00:06:10.420><c> can</c><00:06:10.519><c> keep</c><00:06:10.720><c> putting</c>

00:06:10.939 --> 00:06:13.980
ourselves<00:06:11.459><c> into</c><00:06:12.000><c> this</c><00:06:12.279><c> story</c><00:06:12.500><c> as</c><00:06:12.759><c> we</c><00:06:12.980><c> go</c><00:06:13.180><c> along.</c>

00:06:14.079 --> 00:06:16.540
And<00:06:14.199><c> so</c><00:06:14.279><c> now</c><00:06:14.420><c> we</c><00:06:14.620><c> come</c><00:06:14.819><c> to</c><00:06:15.180><c> the</c><00:06:15.439><c> start</c><00:06:15.779><c> of</c><00:06:16.259><c> this.</c>

00:06:16.660 --> 00:06:20.060
As<00:06:16.680><c> we</c><00:06:16.899><c> said,</c><00:06:17.720><c> Elijah</c><00:06:18.100><c> bursts</c><00:06:18.480><c> onto</c><00:06:18.819><c> the</c><00:06:19.259><c> scene,</c><00:06:19.480><c> he</c><00:06:19.720><c> delivers</c>

00:06:20.060 --> 00:06:22.079
this<00:06:20.620><c> uncompromising</c><00:06:21.639><c> message.</c>

00:06:22.079 --> 00:06:24.360
There's<00:06:22.360><c> not</c><00:06:22.600><c> a</c><00:06:23.060><c> message</c><00:06:23.459><c> of</c><00:06:23.959><c> repent.</c>

00:06:24.660 --> 00:06:27.160
There's<00:06:24.860><c> not</c><00:06:25.160><c> even</c><00:06:25.319><c> a</c><00:06:25.600><c> chance</c><00:06:25.819><c> for</c><00:06:26.100><c> Ahab</c><00:06:26.360><c> to</c><00:06:26.660><c> sort</c><00:06:26.759><c> of</c><00:06:26.980><c> react</c>

00:06:28.639 --> 00:06:32.019
It's<00:06:28.939><c> there's</c><00:06:29.100><c> going</c><00:06:29.180><c> to</c><00:06:29.279><c> be</c><00:06:29.420><c> no</c><00:06:29.740><c> rain</c><00:06:30.019><c> and</c><00:06:30.480><c> he</c><00:06:30.639><c> bursts</c><00:06:30.899><c> out.</c>

00:06:32.079 --> 00:06:38.959
And<00:06:32.240><c> so</c><00:06:32.459><c> Ahab</c><00:06:32.959><c> sort</c><00:06:33.220><c> of</c><00:06:33.420><c> almost,</c><00:06:33.720><c> I</c><00:06:33.920><c> guess,</c><00:06:36.160><c> as</c><00:06:36.279><c> his</c><00:06:36.759><c> only</c><00:06:37.060><c> response,</c><00:06:38.139><c> wants</c><00:06:38.139><c> to</c>

00:06:38.959 --> 00:06:39.819
seek<00:06:39.160><c> Elijah,</c><00:06:39.620><c> wants</c>

00:06:39.819 --> 00:06:42.319
to<00:06:40.060><c> find</c><00:06:40.240><c> him</c><00:06:40.420><c> again,</c><00:06:40.779><c> find</c><00:06:40.939><c> out</c><00:06:41.180><c> more,</c><00:06:41.560><c> probably</c><00:06:41.819><c> kill</c><00:06:42.060><c> him</c>

00:06:42.319 --> 00:06:42.939
as<00:06:42.560><c> well.</c>

00:06:43.079 --> 00:06:44.959
And<00:06:43.220><c> so</c><00:06:43.699><c> Elijah</c><00:06:44.120><c> has</c><00:06:44.459><c> to</c><00:06:44.720><c> flee.</c>

00:06:45.120 --> 00:06:48.319
And<00:06:45.180><c> we</c><00:06:45.360><c> see</c><00:06:45.579><c> this</c><00:06:45.860><c> verse</c><00:06:46.379><c> two</c><00:06:46.800><c> of</c><00:06:47.000><c> chapter</c><00:06:47.259><c> 17.</c>

00:06:48.939 --> 00:06:50.879
And<00:06:49.040><c> the</c><00:06:49.160><c> word</c><00:06:49.439><c> of</c><00:06:49.660><c> Yahweh</c><00:06:49.939><c> came</c><00:06:50.279><c> to</c><00:06:50.399><c> him</c><00:06:50.660><c> saying.</c>

00:06:50.879 --> 00:06:52.720
So<00:06:51.079><c> this</c><00:06:51.160><c> is</c><00:06:51.300><c> what</c><00:06:51.360><c> we</c><00:06:51.540><c> talked</c><00:06:51.660><c> about</c><00:06:51.839><c> last</c><00:06:52.160><c> class,</c><00:06:52.459><c> wasn't</c><00:06:52.600><c> it?</c>

00:06:52.779 --> 00:06:53.920
It's<00:06:52.860><c> not</c><00:06:53.000><c> that</c><00:06:53.139><c> God</c><00:06:53.360><c> didn't</c><00:06:53.600><c> appear.</c>

00:06:54.139 --> 00:06:55.579
He<00:06:54.279><c> just</c><00:06:54.480><c> didn't</c><00:06:54.660><c> appear</c><00:06:54.920><c> in</c><00:06:55.120><c> verse</c><00:06:55.360><c> one.</c>

00:07:46.220 --> 00:07:47.139

00:07:47.139 --> 00:07:52.740

00:07:52.740 --> 00:07:54.579
Elijah<00:07:53.120><c> would</c><00:07:53.319><c> have</c><00:07:53.480><c> started</c><00:07:53.660><c> wondering,</c>

00:07:54.660 --> 00:07:56.060

00:07:57.420 --> 00:07:58.480
This<00:07:57.519><c> is</c><00:07:57.740><c> a</c><00:07:57.839><c> total</c><00:07:58.100><c> waste.</c>

00:07:58.860 --> 00:08:01.500

00:08:01.839 --> 00:08:03.120
Elijah<00:08:01.980><c> could</c><00:08:02.199><c> have</c><00:08:02.319><c> been</c><00:08:02.439><c> out</c><00:08:02.759><c> preaching.</c>

00:08:15.980 --> 00:08:17.740

00:08:47.840 --> 00:08:50.919

00:09:06.299 --> 00:09:09.500
And<00:09:06.419><c> each</c><00:09:06.639><c> morning</c><00:09:06.960><c> it</c><00:09:07.100><c> gets</c><00:09:07.279><c> a</c><00:09:07.399><c> little</c><00:09:07.580><c> bit</c><00:09:07.879><c> muddier,</c><00:09:08.419><c> a</c><00:09:08.559><c> little</c><00:09:08.700><c> less</c><00:09:08.960><c> water.</c>

00:09:09.899 --> 00:09:12.919
Elijah<00:09:10.159><c> is</c><00:09:10.360><c> wondering</c><00:09:10.600><c> what's</c><00:09:11.200><c> going</c><00:09:11.379><c> to</c><00:09:11.639><c> happen</c><00:09:11.960><c> until</c><00:09:12.379><c> finally</c><00:09:12.740><c> he</c>

00:09:12.919 --> 00:09:14.000
wakes<00:09:13.120><c> up</c><00:09:13.379><c> there</c><00:09:13.500><c> that</c><00:09:13.659><c> morning</c>

and<00:09:14.360><c> there's</c><00:09:14.720><c> no</c><00:09:15.200><c> water</c><00:09:15.519><c> left.</c>

00:09:16.820 --> 00:09:18.919
And<00:09:17.080><c> who</c><00:09:17.220><c> does</c><00:09:17.399><c> Elijah</c><00:09:17.700><c> have</c><00:09:17.940><c> to</c><00:09:18.200><c> blame?</c>

00:09:19.100 --> 00:09:20.940
Well,<00:09:19.240><c> the</c><00:09:19.379><c> verse</c><00:09:19.659><c> is</c><00:09:19.860><c> very</c><00:09:20.200><c> clear,</c><00:09:20.620><c> isn't</c><00:09:20.779><c> it?</c>

00:09:20.940 --> 00:09:22.519
Why<00:09:21.139><c> there</c><00:09:21.320><c> was</c><00:09:21.480><c> no</c><00:09:21.740><c> water?</c>

00:09:22.580 --> 00:09:25.419
There<00:09:22.600><c> was</c><00:09:22.779><c> no</c><00:09:23.000><c> water</c><00:09:23.200><c> because</c><00:09:23.480><c> there</c><00:09:23.659><c> was</c><00:09:23.820><c> no</c><00:09:24.080><c> rain</c><00:09:24.299><c> in</c><00:09:24.460><c> the</c><00:09:24.639><c> land.</c>

00:09:25.440 --> 00:09:26.679
Why<00:09:25.700><c> was</c><00:09:25.940><c> there</c><00:09:26.100><c> no</c><00:09:26.320><c> rain?</c>

00:09:27.139 --> 00:09:28.899
Because<00:09:27.299><c> that's</c><00:09:27.559><c> what</c><00:09:27.740><c> Elijah</c><00:09:28.120><c> had</c><00:09:28.399><c> prayed</c><00:09:28.639><c> for.</c>

00:09:28.960 --> 00:09:30.200
He<00:09:29.080><c> had</c><00:09:29.279><c> asked</c><00:09:29.460><c> the</c><00:09:29.659><c> rain</c><00:09:29.799><c> to</c><00:09:30.059><c> stop.</c>

00:09:30.279 --> 00:09:33.860
He<00:09:30.500><c> was</c><00:09:30.700><c> the</c><00:09:30.879><c> very</c><00:09:31.139><c> reason</c><00:09:31.639><c> there</c><00:09:32.159><c> was</c><00:09:32.399><c> no</c><00:09:32.659><c> rain,</c><00:09:32.899><c> why</c><00:09:33.139><c> he</c><00:09:33.460><c> now</c>

00:09:33.860 --> 00:09:36.019
had<00:09:34.179><c> no</c><00:09:34.440><c> water</c><00:09:34.620><c> to</c><00:09:34.879><c> survive</c><00:09:35.240><c> on.</c>

00:09:36.379 --> 00:09:39.980
I<00:09:36.399><c> think</c><00:09:36.580><c> Elijah,</c><00:09:37.259><c> so</c><00:09:37.440><c> God</c><00:09:37.580><c> is</c><00:09:37.919><c> showing</c><00:09:38.120><c> Elijah</c><00:09:38.580><c> the</c><00:09:38.899><c> implications</c><00:09:39.600><c> of</c><00:09:39.799><c> what</c>

00:09:39.980 --> 00:09:41.460
he's<00:09:40.320><c> prayed</c><00:09:40.539><c> for.</c>

00:09:41.440 --> 00:09:44.440
This<00:09:41.700><c> is</c><00:09:41.860><c> how</c><00:09:42.080><c> other</c><00:09:42.340><c> people</c><00:09:42.600><c> in</c><00:09:42.700><c> the</c><00:09:42.919><c> land</c><00:09:43.159><c> were</c><00:09:43.379><c> feeling</c><00:09:43.799><c> as</c><00:09:44.100><c> well.</c>

00:09:44.639 --> 00:09:45.980
Their<00:09:44.899><c> water</c><00:09:45.179><c> was</c><00:09:45.480><c> drying</c><00:09:45.700><c> up.</c>

00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:48.019
They<00:09:46.159><c> were</c><00:09:46.360><c> going</c><00:09:46.580><c> through</c><00:09:46.799><c> this</c><00:09:47.039><c> exact</c><00:09:47.340><c> same</c><00:09:47.620><c> thing.</c>

00:09:48.419 --> 00:09:51.039
And<00:09:48.519><c> then</c><00:09:48.700><c> God's</c><00:09:48.960><c> going</c><00:09:49.059><c> to</c><00:09:49.220><c> take</c><00:09:49.399><c> Elijah</c><00:09:49.720><c> to</c><00:09:49.980><c> a</c><00:09:50.120><c> widow</c><00:09:50.480><c> who's</c>

00:09:51.039 --> 00:09:52.539

00:09:52.539 --> 00:09:57.139
and<00:09:52.840><c> then</c><00:09:53.019><c> her</c><00:09:53.179><c> and</c><00:09:53.340><c> her</c><00:09:53.519><c> son</c><00:09:53.620><c> are</c><00:09:53.860><c> going</c><00:09:54.059><c> to</c><00:09:54.379><c> die</c><00:09:54.720><c> because</c><00:09:56.000><c> of</c><00:09:56.279><c> Elijah.</c>

00:09:57.620 --> 00:10:00.899
These<00:09:57.840><c> are</c><00:09:58.139><c> real</c><00:09:58.399><c> people,</c><00:09:59.120><c> Elijah,</c><00:09:59.899><c> suffering</c><00:10:00.340><c> because</c><00:10:00.779><c> of</c>

00:10:00.899 --> 00:10:02.779
what<00:10:01.139><c> you</c><00:10:01.440><c> prayed</c><00:10:01.759><c> for.</c>

00:10:03.159 --> 00:10:05.759
And<00:10:03.299><c> it</c><00:10:03.419><c> would</c><00:10:03.519><c> have</c><00:10:03.580><c> been</c><00:10:03.679><c> very</c><00:10:03.980><c> humbling</c><00:10:04.360><c> for</c><00:10:04.559><c> him</c><00:10:04.700><c> to</c><00:10:05.000><c> experience</c><00:10:05.419><c> that.</c>

00:10:06.019 --> 00:10:09.080
And<00:10:06.159><c> suddenly</c><00:10:06.620><c> what</c><00:10:07.100><c> seems</c><00:10:07.480><c> so</c><00:10:07.860><c> black</c><00:10:08.080><c> and</c><00:10:08.379><c> white,</c><00:10:08.600><c> living</c><00:10:08.840><c> up</c>

00:10:09.080 --> 00:10:10.419
in<00:10:09.240><c> the</c><00:10:09.360><c> wilderness</c><00:10:09.720><c> of</c><00:10:10.159><c> Gilead</c>

00:10:10.419 --> 00:10:12.720
by<00:10:10.639><c> himself,</c><00:10:11.659><c> the</c><00:10:11.820><c> people</c><00:10:11.980><c> had</c><00:10:12.259><c> sinned.</c>

00:10:12.919 --> 00:10:14.600
The<00:10:12.940><c> Old</c><00:10:13.179><c> Testament</c><00:10:13.480><c> says</c><00:10:13.679><c> they</c><00:10:13.860><c> need</c><00:10:13.980><c> to</c><00:10:14.080><c> be</c><00:10:14.220><c> whipped</c><00:10:14.320><c> back</c>

00:10:14.600 --> 00:10:15.279
into<00:10:14.860><c> shape.</c>

00:10:15.679 --> 00:10:18.139
Now<00:10:15.899><c> we're</c><00:10:16.179><c> going</c><00:10:16.279><c> to</c><00:10:16.500><c> pray</c><00:10:16.700><c> for</c><00:10:17.039><c> a</c><00:10:17.340><c> drought</c><00:10:17.539><c> and</c><00:10:17.820><c> turn</c><00:10:18.000><c> them</c>

all<00:10:18.360><c> around.</c>

00:10:19.659 --> 00:10:21.039
Suddenly<00:10:19.820><c> it's</c><00:10:19.980><c> not</c><00:10:20.240><c> so</c><00:10:20.399><c> black</c><00:10:20.639><c> and</c><00:10:20.820><c> white.</c>

00:10:21.379 --> 00:10:23.759
And<00:10:21.500><c> the</c><00:10:21.700><c> real</c><00:10:21.860><c> life</c><00:10:22.100><c> implications</c><00:10:22.759><c> are</c><00:10:22.980><c> being</c><00:10:23.200><c> shown</c><00:10:23.500><c> to</c><00:10:23.659><c> him</c>

00:10:23.759 --> 00:10:25.279

00:10:30.200 --> 00:10:32.940
We'll<00:10:30.360><c> show</c><00:10:30.440><c> as</c><00:10:30.580><c> we</c><00:10:30.639><c> continue</c><00:10:31.039><c> that</c><00:10:31.259><c> God</c><00:10:31.440><c> is</c><00:10:31.639><c> going</c><00:10:31.740><c> to</c><00:10:32.059><c> continue</c><00:10:32.240><c> to</c><00:10:32.539><c> remind</c><00:10:32.740><c> him</c>

Look,<00:11:17.200><c> consider</c><00:11:17.460><c> the</c><00:11:17.720><c> ravens,</c><00:11:18.139><c> Jesus</c><00:11:18.460><c> says,</c><00:11:18.820><c> for</c><00:11:18.840><c> they</c><00:11:19.019><c> neither</c><00:11:19.220><c> sow</c>

00:11:23.759 --> 00:11:25.860

00:11:26.240 --> 00:11:28.100
So<00:11:26.379><c> their</c><00:11:26.659><c> type</c><00:11:26.820><c> is</c><00:11:27.019><c> very</c><00:11:27.460><c> clear</c><00:11:27.600><c> in</c><00:11:27.740><c> the</c><00:11:27.899><c> Bible.</c>

00:11:28.200 --> 00:11:32.860
God<00:11:28.500><c> looks</c><00:11:28.899><c> after</c><00:11:29.460><c> and</c><00:11:30.039><c> provides</c><00:11:30.559><c> and</c><00:11:30.899><c> cares</c><00:11:31.220><c> for</c><00:11:31.799><c> the</c><00:11:32.039><c> raven.</c>

00:11:35.799 --> 00:11:38.700

00:11:39.159 --> 00:11:42.779

00:11:42.779 --> 00:11:43.539
it's<00:11:43.159><c> important</c>

00:16:39.620 --> 00:16:41.759
Consider<00:16:39.879><c> the</c><00:16:40.120><c> ravens,</c><00:16:40.559><c> Jesus</c><00:16:40.919><c> says</c><00:16:41.139><c> to</c><00:16:41.360><c> us.</c>

First<00:19:41.920><c> of</c><00:19:42.180><c> all,</c><00:19:43.880><c> he</c><00:19:43.900><c> says,</c><00:19:44.140><c> is</c><00:19:44.259><c> our</c><00:19:44.539><c> life</c><00:19:44.819><c> not</c><00:19:45.140><c> more</c><00:19:45.400><c> than?</c>

00:19:46.160 --> 00:19:50.720
He<00:19:46.380><c> reminds</c><00:19:47.839><c> us</c><00:19:48.279><c> that</c><00:19:48.500><c> life</c><00:19:49.079><c> is</c><00:19:49.480><c> bigger</c><00:19:49.880><c> than</c><00:19:50.339><c> the</c><00:19:50.539><c> things</c>

00:19:52.579 --> 00:19:55.660
Asks<00:19:52.819><c> us</c><00:19:52.960><c> to</c><00:19:53.140><c> put</c><00:19:53.259><c> our</c><00:19:53.599><c> anxiety</c><00:19:54.180><c> into</c><00:19:54.519><c> perspective.</c>

00:20:02.640 --> 00:20:04.940
He's<00:20:02.660><c> asking</c><00:20:02.799><c> us</c><00:20:02.980><c> to</c><00:20:03.119><c> step</c><00:20:03.359><c> out</c><00:20:03.640><c> of</c><00:20:03.799><c> that,</c><00:20:04.240><c> to</c><00:20:04.420><c> try</c><00:20:04.559><c> and</c><00:20:04.720><c> think</c>

00:20:22.970 --> 00:20:25.920
We<00:20:23.200><c> have</c><00:20:23.539><c> proof</c><00:20:23.880><c> around</c><00:20:24.319><c> us,</c><00:20:24.539><c> the</c><00:20:24.799><c> animals,</c><00:20:25.380><c> the</c><00:20:25.579><c> kingdom,</c>

So<00:21:42.640><c> he</c><00:21:42.740><c> says,</c><00:21:43.400><c> rather</c><00:21:43.640><c> than</c><00:21:43.920><c> that,</c><00:21:44.980><c> seek</c><00:21:45.180><c> ye</c><00:21:45.380><c> the</c><00:21:45.559><c> kingdom</c><00:21:45.859><c> of</c><00:21:46.119><c> God,</c>

00:21:46.460 --> 00:21:49.380
and<00:21:47.019><c> all</c><00:21:47.359><c> of</c><00:21:47.539><c> these</c><00:21:47.759><c> things</c><00:21:47.980><c> shall</c><00:21:48.180><c> be</c><00:21:48.420><c> added</c><00:21:48.579><c> unto</c><00:21:48.839><c> you.</c>

00:21:49.599 --> 00:21:54.980
See,<00:21:49.799><c> Jesus</c><00:21:50.039><c> doesn't</c><00:21:50.500><c> leave</c><00:21:51.099><c> us</c><00:21:51.900><c> with</c><00:21:52.980><c> this</c><00:21:53.259><c> list</c><00:21:53.579><c> of</c><00:21:53.859><c> don'ts,</c><00:21:54.700><c> okay?</c>

00:21:54.980 --> 00:21:56.960
Because<00:21:55.119><c> dealing</c><00:21:55.339><c> with</c><00:21:55.559><c> anxiety</c><00:21:55.920><c> is</c><00:21:56.000><c> more</c><00:21:56.259><c> than</c><00:21:56.380><c> just</c><00:21:56.680><c> don't</c>

00:21:56.960 --> 00:21:57.559
worry<00:21:57.259><c> about</c><00:21:57.480><c> it,</c>

00:21:57.559 --> 00:21:58.160
get<00:21:57.740><c> over</c><00:21:58.000><c> it.</c>

00:21:58.160 --> 00:21:58.740
It's<00:21:58.259><c> not</c><00:21:58.480><c> that.</c>

00:21:59.200 --> 00:22:00.259
Jesus<00:21:59.500><c> understood</c><00:21:59.980><c> that.</c>

00:22:00.599 --> 00:22:02.460
He<00:22:00.700><c> said,</c><00:22:00.819><c> here's</c><00:22:01.079><c> some</c><00:22:01.319><c> things</c><00:22:01.460><c> to</c><00:22:01.660><c> focus</c><00:22:01.960><c> on</c><00:22:02.220><c> not,</c>

00:22:02.720 --> 00:22:05.440
but<00:22:02.960><c> here's</c><00:22:03.240><c> some</c><00:22:03.420><c> positive</c><00:22:03.859><c> things</c><00:22:04.119><c> to</c><00:22:04.339><c> replace</c><00:22:04.700><c> that</c><00:22:04.980><c> within</c><00:22:05.119><c> our</c>

00:22:05.440 --> 00:22:06.740
lives<00:22:05.599><c> as</c><00:22:05.839><c> well.</c>

00:22:07.079 --> 00:22:09.880
Firstly,<00:22:07.599><c> remind</c><00:22:07.920><c> ourselves</c><00:22:08.319><c> that</c><00:22:08.500><c> our</c><00:22:08.779><c> heavenly</c><00:22:09.099><c> father</c><00:22:09.480><c> is</c>

00:22:09.880 --> 00:22:11.420
involved<00:22:10.259><c> in</c><00:22:10.460><c> our</c><00:22:10.640><c> life.</c>

00:22:11.480 --> 00:22:15.880
He<00:22:11.599><c> knows</c><00:22:11.839><c> exactly</c><00:22:12.460><c> what</c><00:22:12.720><c> we</c><00:22:12.960><c> need</c><00:22:13.420><c> and</c><00:22:14.359><c> he</c><00:22:14.460><c> knows</c><00:22:14.680><c> what's</c><00:22:14.980><c> best</c><00:22:15.220><c> for</c><00:22:15.440><c> us.</c>

00:22:15.880 --> 00:22:18.039
So<00:22:16.200><c> instead</c><00:22:16.400><c> of</c><00:22:16.559><c> focusing</c><00:22:16.940><c> on</c><00:22:17.220><c> the</c><00:22:17.539><c> worry,</c>

00:22:18.460 --> 00:22:22.039
said<00:22:18.559><c> replace</c><00:22:19.019><c> that</c><00:22:19.220><c> by</c><00:22:19.500><c> focusing</c><00:22:19.980><c> on</c><00:22:20.299><c> God</c><00:22:20.740><c> and</c><00:22:21.200><c> his</c><00:22:21.500><c> righteousness.</c>

00:22:22.240 --> 00:22:24.599
Seek<00:22:22.579><c> ye</c><00:22:22.779><c> first</c><00:22:23.039><c> the</c><00:22:23.220><c> kingdom</c><00:22:23.500><c> of</c><00:22:23.740><c> God,</c>

00:22:24.619 --> 00:22:27.140
and<00:22:24.759><c> all</c><00:22:24.940><c> of</c><00:22:25.059><c> these</c><00:22:25.220><c> things</c><00:22:25.400><c> shall</c><00:22:25.559><c> be</c><00:22:25.799><c> added</c><00:22:25.980><c> unto</c><00:22:26.220><c> you.</c>

00:22:27.319 --> 00:22:27.960
What's<00:22:27.740><c> right?</c>

00:22:28.019 --> 00:22:30.240
Focus<00:22:28.400><c> on</c><00:22:28.700><c> that</c><00:22:29.380><c> spiritual</c><00:22:30.039><c> plan.</c>

00:22:30.299 --> 00:22:31.779
Focus<00:22:30.660><c> on</c><00:22:30.839><c> what</c><00:22:31.000><c> would</c><00:22:31.240><c> Jesus</c><00:22:31.579><c> do?</c>

00:22:31.819 --> 00:22:35.460
What's<00:22:32.099><c> the</c><00:22:32.380><c> right</c><00:22:32.680><c> path</c><00:22:33.039><c> here</c><00:22:33.400><c> that</c><00:22:33.839><c> we</c><00:22:34.019><c> can</c><00:22:34.180><c> replace</c><00:22:34.539><c> anxiety</c><00:22:35.119><c> with?</c>

00:22:35.960 --> 00:22:37.259
What<00:22:36.180><c> does</c><00:22:36.400><c> God</c><00:22:36.660><c> want</c><00:22:36.839><c> us</c><00:22:37.059><c> to</c><00:22:37.180><c> do?</c>

00:22:37.420 --> 00:22:39.000
What's<00:22:37.900><c> God's</c><00:22:38.460><c> choice</c><00:22:38.680><c> here?</c>

00:22:39.059 --> 00:22:40.079
And<00:22:39.339><c> that's</c><00:22:39.579><c> what</c><00:22:39.700><c> I'll</c><00:22:39.920><c> choose.</c>

00:22:40.119 --> 00:22:41.259
When<00:22:40.200><c> I</c><00:22:40.319><c> don't</c><00:22:40.480><c> know</c><00:22:40.619><c> what</c><00:22:40.799><c> to</c><00:22:40.980><c> do,</c>

00:22:41.380 --> 00:22:43.240
when<00:22:41.500><c> I'm</c><00:22:41.680><c> anxious</c><00:22:41.980><c> about</c><00:22:42.279><c> choices,</c>

00:22:43.619 --> 00:22:45.380
what's<00:22:44.000><c> the</c><00:22:44.119><c> one</c><00:22:44.220><c> that</c><00:22:44.319><c> will</c><00:22:44.460><c> get</c><00:22:44.599><c> me</c><00:22:44.779><c> to</c><00:22:44.900><c> the</c><00:22:45.059><c> kingdom?</c>

00:22:45.880 --> 00:22:48.700
And<00:22:46.240><c> then</c><00:22:46.579><c> we</c><00:22:46.660><c> have</c><00:22:46.779><c> this</c><00:22:47.039><c> final</c><00:22:47.420><c> beautiful</c><00:22:48.019><c> quote</c><00:22:48.240><c> to</c><00:22:48.500><c> wrap</c>

00:22:48.700 --> 00:22:51.279

00:22:51.519 --> 00:22:53.059
Fear<00:22:51.660><c> not</c><00:22:51.900><c> little</c><00:22:52.200><c> flock.</c>

00:22:53.339 --> 00:22:56.440
It<00:22:53.420><c> is</c><00:22:53.579><c> your</c><00:22:53.900><c> father's</c><00:22:54.579><c> good</c><00:22:54.779><c> pleasure</c><00:22:55.319><c> to</c><00:22:55.759><c> give</c><00:22:55.880><c> you</c><00:22:56.059><c> the</c><00:22:56.220><c> kingdom.</c>

00:22:56.579 --> 00:22:57.579
Is<00:22:56.680><c> this</c><00:22:56.880><c> this</c><00:22:57.140><c> final</c><00:22:57.420><c> thing?</c>

00:22:57.720 --> 00:22:59.319
If<00:22:57.720><c> we've</c><00:22:57.940><c> gone</c><00:22:58.019><c> through</c><00:22:58.259><c> all</c><00:22:58.380><c> those</c><00:22:58.619><c> stages</c><00:22:58.980><c> and</c><00:22:59.099><c> we're</c>

00:22:59.319 --> 00:23:00.119
still<00:22:59.619><c> there,</c>

00:23:00.299 --> 00:23:02.559
Jesus<00:23:00.599><c> leaves</c><00:23:00.779><c> us</c><00:23:00.960><c> with</c><00:23:01.079><c> this</c><00:23:01.259><c> foundation</c><00:23:02.000><c> of,</c>

00:23:02.940 --> 00:23:04.119
don't<00:23:03.259><c> worry.</c>

00:23:04.319 --> 00:23:05.660
I<00:23:04.460><c> know</c><00:23:04.579><c> it's</c><00:23:04.819><c> hard.</c>

00:23:05.759 --> 00:23:06.799
Don't<00:23:05.980><c> worry.</c>

00:23:07.059 --> 00:23:08.339
I<00:23:07.279><c> want</c><00:23:07.519><c> to</c><00:23:07.700><c> give</c><00:23:07.799><c> you</c><00:23:07.940><c> the</c><00:23:08.119><c> kingdom.</c>

00:23:08.579 --> 00:23:09.940
I'm<00:23:08.819><c> going</c><00:23:09.079><c> to</c><00:23:09.279><c> give</c><00:23:09.380><c> you</c><00:23:09.559><c> the</c><00:23:09.720><c> kingdom.</c>

00:23:10.099 --> 00:23:11.160
Trust<00:23:10.539><c> in</c><00:23:10.880><c> me.</c>

00:23:11.339 --> 00:23:12.680
Because<00:23:11.539><c> sometimes</c><00:23:11.839><c> we</c><00:23:12.019><c> can't</c><00:23:12.299><c> do</c><00:23:12.400><c> it</c><00:23:12.519><c> ourselves.</c>

00:23:12.700 --> 00:23:14.859
Sometimes<00:23:13.039><c> we</c><00:23:13.180><c> can</c><00:23:13.339><c> go</c><00:23:13.579><c> through</c><00:23:13.779><c> all</c><00:23:13.859><c> this</c><00:23:13.960><c> and</c><00:23:14.059><c> we're</c><00:23:14.279><c> still</c><00:23:14.440><c> anxious.</c>

00:23:14.859 --> 00:23:16.680
We<00:23:15.180><c> still</c><00:23:15.519><c> have</c><00:23:15.640><c> the</c><00:23:15.819><c> anxiety.</c>

00:23:16.799 --> 00:23:19.660
Now,<00:23:16.980><c> final</c><00:23:17.200><c> thing</c><00:23:17.440><c> is</c><00:23:18.099><c> we</c><00:23:18.420><c> are</c><00:23:18.579><c> just</c><00:23:18.779><c> sheep.</c>

00:23:19.960 --> 00:23:20.980
Just<00:23:20.220><c> give</c><00:23:20.380><c> in</c><00:23:20.519><c> to</c><00:23:20.700><c> that.</c>

00:23:21.380 --> 00:23:22.440
Don't<00:23:21.599><c> worry</c><00:23:21.859><c> little</c><00:23:22.140><c> flock.</c>

00:23:22.859 --> 00:23:23.720
We<00:23:22.980><c> don't</c><00:23:23.140><c> know</c><00:23:23.220><c> what</c><00:23:23.339><c> we're</c><00:23:23.539><c> doing.</c>

00:23:23.839 --> 00:23:25.920
We're<00:23:23.960><c> wandering</c><00:23:24.299><c> around</c><00:23:24.640><c> aimlessly</c><00:23:25.160><c> eating</c><00:23:25.500><c> grass.</c>

00:23:25.980 --> 00:23:26.859
We<00:23:26.099><c> don't</c><00:23:26.259><c> really</c><00:23:26.559><c> know.</c>

00:23:27.059 --> 00:23:27.559
Don't<00:23:27.319><c> worry.</c>

00:23:27.599 --> 00:23:29.019
We<00:23:27.700><c> don't</c><00:23:27.900><c> have</c><00:23:28.119><c> to</c><00:23:28.279><c> have</c><00:23:28.400><c> the</c><00:23:28.599><c> answers.</c>

00:23:29.319 --> 00:23:30.559
We<00:23:29.440><c> don't</c><00:23:29.579><c> have</c><00:23:29.880><c> to</c><00:23:30.039><c> have</c><00:23:30.180><c> it</c><00:23:30.400><c> solved.</c>

00:23:30.660 --> 00:23:32.500
We<00:23:30.779><c> don't</c><00:23:30.900><c> know</c><00:23:31.140><c> to</c><00:23:31.279><c> know</c><00:23:31.500><c> what's</c><00:23:31.920><c> going</c><00:23:32.079><c> on.</c>

00:23:32.880 --> 00:23:34.440
We're<00:23:33.279><c> hopeless</c><00:23:33.599><c> in</c><00:23:33.759><c> all</c><00:23:33.940><c> of</c><00:23:34.119><c> this.</c>

00:23:34.880 --> 00:23:36.660
And<00:23:35.140><c> it's</c><00:23:35.279><c> just</c><00:23:35.460><c> our</c><00:23:35.619><c> God</c><00:23:35.920><c> leading</c><00:23:36.259><c> us.</c>

00:23:36.680 --> 00:23:39.119
And<00:23:36.819><c> he'll</c><00:23:37.000><c> get</c><00:23:37.099><c> us</c><00:23:37.319><c> to</c><00:23:37.460><c> the</c><00:23:37.619><c> kingdom</c><00:23:37.839><c> if</c><00:23:38.039><c> we</c><00:23:38.440><c> give</c><00:23:38.579><c> in</c><00:23:38.720><c> to</c><00:23:38.880><c> him.</c>

00:23:39.400 --> 00:23:40.140
That's<00:23:39.579><c> all</c><00:23:39.700><c> that</c><00:23:39.880><c> matters.</c>

00:23:40.319 --> 00:23:42.299
We<00:23:40.420><c> don't</c><00:23:40.559><c> have</c><00:23:40.759><c> to</c><00:23:40.900><c> have</c><00:23:41.000><c> the</c><00:23:41.180><c> right</c><00:23:41.339><c> answers.</c>

Okay,<00:24:08.460><c> let's</c><00:24:08.819><c> come</c><00:24:09.000><c> back</c><00:24:09.240><c> then</c><00:24:09.519><c> to</c><00:24:09.940><c> Elijah.</c>

00:24:11.480 --> 00:24:14.240
See<00:24:11.920><c> what's</c><00:24:12.359><c> next</c><00:24:12.559><c> step</c><00:24:12.680><c> in</c><00:24:12.900><c> 1</c><00:24:13.079><c> Kings.</c>

00:24:14.519 --> 00:24:16.539

00:24:16.640 --> 00:24:17.799
The<00:24:16.819><c> water's</c><00:24:17.240><c> dried</c><00:24:17.380><c> up.</c>

00:24:18.000 --> 00:24:19.359
The<00:24:18.220><c> ravens</c><00:24:18.500><c> have</c><00:24:18.680><c> been</c><00:24:18.940><c> feeding</c><00:24:19.160><c> him.</c>

00:24:19.380 --> 00:24:22.380
And<00:24:19.500><c> now</c><00:24:19.700><c> God</c><00:24:19.920><c> is</c><00:24:20.299><c> going</c><00:24:20.539><c> to</c><00:24:20.779><c> appear</c><00:24:21.039><c> to</c><00:24:21.099><c> him</c><00:24:21.240><c> and</c><00:24:21.319><c> say</c><00:24:21.400><c> you</c><00:24:21.539><c> need</c><00:24:22.259><c> to</c>

move<00:24:22.619><c> on.</c>

00:24:23.640 --> 00:24:29.019
And<00:24:23.859><c> so</c><00:24:24.559><c> he's</c><00:24:24.980><c> going</c><00:24:25.140><c> to</c><00:24:26.059><c> make</c><00:24:26.240><c> his</c><00:24:26.519><c> way</c><00:24:27.000><c> up</c><00:24:27.359><c> here</c><00:24:27.539><c> to</c><00:24:27.740><c> Zarephath.</c>

00:24:29.859 --> 00:24:33.599
Now,<00:24:30.880><c> once</c><00:24:31.140><c> again,</c><00:24:31.460><c> bear</c><00:24:31.599><c> in</c><00:24:31.779><c> mind</c><00:24:31.900><c> this</c><00:24:32.380><c> is</c><00:24:32.819><c> a</c><00:24:33.039><c> fairly</c><00:24:33.220><c> significant.</c>

00:24:33.880 --> 00:24:36.019
It's<00:24:33.880><c> a</c><00:24:34.019><c> three</c><00:24:34.220><c>-day</c><00:24:34.420><c> journey</c><00:24:34.700><c> from</c><00:24:34.900><c> Israel</c><00:24:35.240><c> in</c><00:24:35.400><c> the</c><00:24:35.599><c> middle</c><00:24:35.759><c> of</c>

a<00:24:36.160><c> drought.</c>

00:24:36.960 --> 00:24:39.359
This<00:24:37.400><c> is</c><00:24:37.619><c> not</c><00:24:37.799><c> just</c><00:24:38.480><c> around</c><00:24:38.779><c> the</c><00:24:39.039><c> corner.</c>

00:24:39.359 --> 00:24:42.759
And<00:24:39.720><c> not</c><00:24:40.579><c> only</c><00:24:40.900><c> is</c><00:24:41.079><c> it</c><00:24:41.220><c> Zarephath,</c><00:24:41.680><c> the</c><00:24:41.839><c> Gentile</c><00:24:42.240><c> country</c><00:24:42.619><c> as</c>

00:24:42.759 --> 00:24:43.039
we<00:24:42.859><c> know.</c>

00:24:43.319 --> 00:24:45.000
It's<00:24:43.720><c> Jezebel's</c><00:24:44.359><c> old</c><00:24:44.539><c> neighborhood.</c>

00:24:45.299 --> 00:24:48.019
A<00:24:45.640><c> hugely</c><00:24:46.000><c> dangerous</c><00:24:46.579><c> area</c><00:24:47.019><c> to</c><00:24:47.279><c> be.</c>

00:24:48.099 --> 00:24:51.000
It's<00:24:48.339><c> a</c><00:24:48.420><c> big</c><00:24:48.599><c> ask</c><00:24:48.900><c> of</c><00:24:49.319><c> God</c><00:24:49.559><c> to</c><00:24:49.759><c> ask</c><00:24:50.059><c> Elijah.</c>

00:24:51.200 --> 00:24:54.339
But<00:24:51.319><c> without</c><00:24:51.500><c> any</c><00:24:51.779><c> questions,</c><00:24:53.039><c> without</c><00:24:53.160><c> anything</c><00:24:53.460><c> Elijah</c><00:24:53.819><c> gets</c><00:24:54.079><c> up</c>

00:24:54.339 --> 00:24:55.539
and<00:24:54.579><c> goes.</c>

00:24:56.079 --> 00:24:57.380
Elijah<00:24:56.359><c> has</c><00:24:56.619><c> lessons</c><00:24:57.000><c> to</c><00:24:57.259><c> learn.</c>

00:24:57.480 --> 00:24:58.480
There's<00:24:57.579><c> no</c><00:24:57.759><c> doubt</c><00:24:57.880><c> about</c><00:24:58.180><c> that.</c>

00:24:58.480 --> 00:24:59.839
As<00:24:58.660><c> we</c><00:24:58.839><c> all</c><00:24:59.039><c> do.</c>

00:24:59.960 --> 00:25:03.259
But<00:25:00.119><c> there's</c><00:25:00.359><c> no</c><00:25:00.700><c> questioning</c><00:25:01.119><c> his</c><00:25:01.440><c> obedience</c><00:25:02.140><c> and</c><00:25:02.339><c> his</c><00:25:02.680><c> passion</c><00:25:03.079><c> and</c>

00:25:03.259 --> 00:25:05.099
his<00:25:03.619><c> loyalty</c><00:25:04.059><c> to</c><00:25:04.339><c> God.</c>

00:25:05.299 --> 00:25:07.559
It's<00:25:05.359><c> only</c><00:25:05.539><c> one</c><00:25:05.839><c> time</c><00:25:06.019><c> he</c><00:25:06.119><c> goes</c><00:25:06.319><c> somewhere</c><00:25:06.640><c> where</c><00:25:06.839><c> God</c><00:25:07.039><c> didn't</c><00:25:07.259><c> ask.</c>

00:25:07.599 --> 00:25:08.519
And<00:25:07.680><c> we'll</c><00:25:07.759><c> look</c><00:25:07.920><c> at</c><00:25:08.000><c> that</c><00:25:08.140><c> on</c><00:25:08.359><c> Sunday.</c>

00:25:08.519 --> 00:25:10.680
But<00:25:08.700><c> every</c><00:25:08.960><c> other</c><00:25:09.160><c> time</c><00:25:09.259><c> God</c><00:25:09.440><c> asks</c><00:25:09.660><c> him</c><00:25:09.779><c> to</c><00:25:09.880><c> do</c><00:25:10.000><c> something,</c><00:25:10.539><c> he</c>

00:25:10.680 --> 00:25:12.220
does<00:25:10.880><c> it</c><00:25:11.119><c> exactly</c><00:25:11.500><c> as</c><00:25:11.720><c> God</c><00:25:11.940><c> asks.</c>

00:25:12.460 --> 00:25:15.720
There's<00:25:12.519><c> no</c><00:25:12.720><c> questioning</c><00:25:13.180><c> his</c><00:25:13.480><c> obedience</c><00:25:13.960><c> and</c><00:25:14.599><c> loyalty</c><00:25:15.099><c> to</c><00:25:15.359><c> God.</c>

00:25:16.059 --> 00:25:19.019
So<00:25:16.119><c> verse</c><00:25:16.400><c> 10,</c><00:25:17.259><c> he</c><00:25:17.299><c> arose</c><00:25:17.799><c> and</c><00:25:17.980><c> went</c><00:25:18.140><c> to</c><00:25:18.380><c> Zarephath.</c>

00:25:19.359 --> 00:25:21.539
And<00:25:19.359><c> when</c><00:25:19.420><c> he</c><00:25:19.640><c> came</c><00:25:19.839><c> to</c><00:25:20.019><c> the</c><00:25:20.160><c> gate</c><00:25:20.259><c> of</c><00:25:20.400><c> the</c><00:25:20.539><c> city,</c><00:25:20.960><c> behold,</c><00:25:21.400><c> the</c>

widow<00:25:21.740><c> woman</c><00:25:21.940><c> was</c><00:25:22.200><c> there</c><00:25:22.740><c> gathering</c><00:25:23.279><c> sticks.</c>

00:25:24.220 --> 00:25:25.779
Behold<00:25:24.539><c> the</c><00:25:24.700><c> widow</c><00:25:24.960><c> woman.</c>

00:25:25.799 --> 00:25:27.539
And<00:25:26.279><c> we</c><00:25:26.759><c> glaze</c><00:25:27.059><c> over</c><00:25:27.339><c> that.</c>

00:25:27.799 --> 00:25:28.640
But<00:25:27.920><c> think</c><00:25:28.160><c> about</c><00:25:28.420><c> that.</c>

00:25:28.799 --> 00:25:31.380

And<00:27:29.619><c> then</c><00:27:29.720><c> she</c><00:27:29.920><c> turns</c><00:27:30.220><c> it</c><00:27:30.480><c> back</c><00:27:30.660><c> on</c><00:27:31.019><c> him.</c>

00:27:32.019 --> 00:27:33.779
And<00:27:32.359><c> I</c><00:27:32.519><c> suppose</c><00:27:32.759><c> that</c><00:27:32.940><c> would</c><00:27:33.039><c> have</c><00:27:33.160><c> been</c><00:27:33.319><c> expected.</c>

00:27:33.920 --> 00:27:34.900
The<00:27:34.019><c> nation</c><00:27:34.259><c> was</c><00:27:34.500><c> in</c><00:27:34.700><c> drought.</c>

00:27:35.099 --> 00:27:37.819
Everyone<00:27:35.339><c> would</c><00:27:35.500><c> have</c><00:27:35.619><c> been</c><00:27:35.799><c> talking</c><00:27:36.059><c> about</c><00:27:36.299><c> this</c><00:27:36.559><c> great</c><00:27:37.140><c> hairy</c><00:27:37.500><c> man</c>

00:27:37.819 --> 00:27:38.980

00:27:39.339 --> 00:27:42.059
Ahab,<00:27:39.940><c> as</c><00:27:40.160><c> we've</c><00:27:40.319><c> read</c><00:27:40.380><c> before,</c><00:27:40.619><c> has</c><00:27:40.700><c> gone</c><00:27:40.880><c> from</c><00:27:41.119><c> country</c><00:27:41.480><c> to</c><00:27:41.640><c> country,</c>

00:27:45.799 --> 00:27:47.440
So<00:27:46.079><c> everyone</c><00:27:46.279><c> would</c><00:27:46.460><c> have</c><00:27:46.579><c> known</c><00:27:46.799><c> about</c><00:27:47.079><c> this.</c>

00:27:47.819 --> 00:27:50.799
So<00:27:47.960><c> here's</c><00:27:48.259><c> this</c><00:27:48.400><c> woman</c><00:27:48.619><c> that</c><00:27:48.940><c> was</c><00:27:49.480><c> about</c><00:27:49.940><c> to,</c><00:27:50.220><c> her</c><00:27:50.420><c> and</c><00:27:50.559><c> her</c>

00:27:52.240 --> 00:27:55.000
And<00:27:52.480><c> here</c><00:27:52.740><c> standing</c><00:27:53.119><c> in</c><00:27:53.400><c> front</c><00:27:53.500><c> of</c><00:27:53.640><c> her</c><00:27:53.740><c> is</c><00:27:53.900><c> the</c><00:27:54.200><c> man</c><00:27:54.480><c> that</c><00:27:54.680><c> had</c>

00:27:56.359 --> 00:27:58.599

00:27:58.599 --> 00:28:00.759
she<00:27:58.980><c> had</c><00:27:59.180><c> no</c><00:27:59.420><c> food</c><00:27:59.640><c> or</c><00:27:59.900><c> water.</c>

00:28:01.400 --> 00:28:03.160
Does<00:28:01.920><c> she</c><00:28:02.140><c> accuse</c><00:28:02.619><c> him?</c>

00:28:03.660 --> 00:28:04.740
Does<00:28:03.759><c> she</c><00:28:04.000><c> blame</c><00:28:04.380><c> him?</c>

00:28:04.940 --> 00:28:05.980

00:28:06.039 --> 00:28:08.000
All<00:28:06.200><c> of</c><00:28:06.299><c> those</c><00:28:06.440><c> are</c><00:28:06.720><c> reasonable</c><00:28:07.119><c> things</c><00:28:07.460><c> to</c><00:28:07.740><c> do.</c>

00:28:08.220 --> 00:28:11.960
If<00:28:08.319><c> we</c><00:28:08.420><c> look</c><00:28:08.579><c> at</c><00:28:08.720><c> chapter</c><00:28:09.140><c> 18</c><00:28:09.579><c> verse</c><00:28:09.799><c> 7,</c><00:28:10.240><c> how</c><00:28:10.299><c> does</c><00:28:11.180><c> Ahab</c><00:28:11.440><c> react</c>

when<00:28:12.519><c> he</c><00:28:12.799><c> sees</c><00:28:13.039><c> him?</c>

00:28:13.880 --> 00:28:18.079
Chapter<00:28:14.079><c> 18</c><00:28:14.940><c> verse</c><00:28:15.140><c> 17,</c><00:28:16.420><c> it</c><00:28:16.599><c> came</c><00:28:16.819><c> to</c><00:28:17.019><c> pass</c><00:28:17.180><c> when</c><00:28:17.359><c> Ahab</c><00:28:17.660><c> saw</c>

00:28:18.079 --> 00:28:19.099
Elijah<00:28:18.519><c> that</c><00:28:18.660><c> Ahab</c><00:28:18.819><c> said,</c>

00:28:19.200 --> 00:28:21.099

00:28:21.259 --> 00:28:23.680
He<00:28:21.400><c> didn't</c><00:28:21.579><c> have</c><00:28:21.920><c> a</c><00:28:22.180><c> merciful</c><00:28:22.539><c> attitude</c><00:28:23.039><c> straight</c><00:28:23.420><c> away.</c>

00:28:23.700 --> 00:28:24.859
He<00:28:23.799><c> was</c><00:28:24.059><c> blaming</c><00:28:24.420><c> Elijah.</c>

00:28:24.940 --> 00:28:26.619
You're<00:28:25.180><c> the</c><00:28:25.279><c> one</c><00:28:25.380><c> that's</c><00:28:25.720><c> caused</c><00:28:25.859><c> all</c><00:28:26.039><c> of</c><00:28:26.140><c> this</c><00:28:26.259><c> trouble.</c>

00:28:26.759 --> 00:28:27.759
He<00:28:27.000><c> attacks</c><00:28:27.259><c> him.</c>

00:28:28.220 --> 00:28:29.380
This<00:28:28.500><c> widow</c><00:28:28.720><c> woman</c><00:28:28.960><c> doesn't.</c>

00:28:29.380 --> 00:28:32.799
She<00:28:29.680><c> just</c><00:28:29.900><c> lays</c><00:28:30.119><c> the</c><00:28:30.359><c> facts</c><00:28:30.519><c> out</c><00:28:31.039><c> in</c><00:28:31.319><c> the</c><00:28:31.539><c> situation</c><00:28:32.039><c> there.</c>

00:28:34.119 --> 00:28:36.779
Now,<00:28:34.339><c> she</c><00:28:34.519><c> does</c><00:28:34.759><c> use</c><00:28:34.940><c> his</c><00:28:35.119><c> catchphrase,</c><00:28:35.599><c> but</c><00:28:35.759><c> notice</c><00:28:36.039><c> there's</c>

00:28:36.779 --> 00:28:38.359
a<00:28:36.940><c> slight</c><00:28:37.180><c> change.</c>

00:28:38.640 --> 00:28:42.099
Elijah<00:28:38.880><c> in</c><00:28:39.039><c> verse</c><00:28:39.299><c> 1</c><00:28:39.539><c> says,</c><00:28:40.180><c> as</c><00:28:40.220><c> Yahweh</c><00:28:40.819><c> Elohim</c><00:28:41.220><c> of</c><00:28:41.359><c> Israel</c><00:28:41.680><c> liveth.</c>

00:28:42.599 --> 00:28:44.240
What<00:28:42.799><c> does</c><00:28:42.940><c> this</c><00:28:43.140><c> widow</c><00:28:43.359><c> woman</c><00:28:43.579><c> say</c><00:28:43.859><c> here?</c>

00:28:44.700 --> 00:28:47.160
As<00:28:44.960><c> Yahweh</c><00:28:45.700><c> thy</c><00:28:46.079><c> God</c><00:28:46.640><c> liveth.</c>

00:28:47.500 --> 00:28:51.559
So<00:28:47.700><c> although</c><00:28:47.880><c> she</c><00:28:48.079><c> does</c><00:28:48.400><c> know</c><00:28:48.619><c> Elijah,</c><00:28:49.859><c> it</c><00:28:50.059><c> appears</c><00:28:50.259><c> she's</c><00:28:50.740><c> not</c><00:28:51.039><c> a</c><00:28:51.220><c> faithful.</c>

00:28:51.779 --> 00:28:54.519
She<00:28:52.000><c> hasn't</c><00:28:52.299><c> taken</c><00:28:52.640><c> on</c><00:28:52.900><c> God</c><00:28:53.099><c> at</c><00:28:53.339><c> this</c><00:28:53.680><c> time.</c>

00:28:54.599 --> 00:28:57.500
But<00:28:54.859><c> she</c><00:28:55.000><c> knows</c><00:28:55.339><c> about</c><00:28:55.619><c> God</c><00:28:55.839><c> and</c><00:28:56.000><c> she</c><00:28:56.079><c> knows</c><00:28:56.339><c> about</c><00:28:56.619><c> Elijah.</c>

00:28:57.519 --> 00:28:59.400
So<00:28:58.000><c> she</c><00:28:58.180><c> says,</c><00:28:58.500><c> look,</c><00:28:58.700><c> I</c><00:28:59.039><c> can't.</c>

00:28:59.480 --> 00:29:03.119
I've<00:28:59.579><c> only</c><00:28:59.759><c> got</c><00:28:59.980><c> a</c><00:29:00.519><c> handful</c><00:29:00.880><c> of</c><00:29:01.200><c> meal</c><00:29:01.420><c> and</c><00:29:01.720><c> a</c><00:29:01.940><c> little</c><00:29:02.160><c> oil</c><00:29:02.619><c> to</c>

make<00:29:03.460><c> up.</c>

00:29:04.420 --> 00:29:06.940
Now,<00:29:04.980><c> like</c><00:29:05.180><c> most</c><00:29:05.440><c> things</c><00:29:05.640><c> in</c><00:29:05.799><c> the</c><00:29:05.940><c> Bible,</c><00:29:06.079><c> this</c><00:29:06.240><c> is</c><00:29:06.380><c> not</c><00:29:06.559><c> some</c>

00:29:08.619 --> 00:29:09.500
This<00:29:08.759><c> is</c><00:29:08.859><c> significant.</c>

00:29:09.720 --> 00:29:12.680
And<00:29:09.920><c> it</c><00:29:10.160><c> ties</c><00:29:10.319><c> into</c><00:29:10.559><c> what</c><00:29:10.839><c> Elijah</c><00:29:11.240><c> is</c><00:29:11.480><c> going</c><00:29:11.660><c> to</c><00:29:12.099><c> talk</c><00:29:12.440><c> and</c>

00:31:38.279 --> 00:31:41.579
He<00:31:38.420><c> was</c><00:31:38.619><c> literally</c><00:31:39.119><c> asking</c><00:31:39.599><c> her</c><00:31:39.880><c> to</c><00:31:40.059><c> put</c><00:31:40.220><c> her</c><00:31:40.519><c> life</c><00:31:40.839><c> on</c><00:31:41.119><c> the</c><00:31:41.319><c> line,</c>

And<00:31:48.839><c> notice</c><00:31:49.019><c> God</c><00:31:49.500><c> would</c><00:31:49.819><c> provide</c><00:31:50.319><c> just</c><00:31:50.799><c> enough.</c>

00:31:51.799 --> 00:31:54.420

00:31:54.819 --> 00:31:55.720
They<00:31:54.920><c> would</c><00:31:55.079><c> just</c><00:31:55.359><c> have</c><00:31:55.559><c> enough.</c>

00:31:55.799 --> 00:31:57.839
Each<00:31:56.039><c> day</c><00:31:56.259><c> there</c><00:31:56.359><c> would</c><00:31:56.539><c> just</c><00:31:56.759><c> be</c><00:31:56.960><c> enough</c><00:31:57.299><c> in</c><00:31:57.660><c> there.</c>

Their<00:31:58.180><c> daily</c><00:31:58.500><c> needs</c><00:31:59.000><c> would</c><00:31:59.380><c> be</c><00:31:59.619><c> met.</c>

00:32:00.940 --> 00:32:03.299
And<00:32:01.099><c> this</c><00:32:01.200><c> is</c><00:32:01.359><c> how</c><00:32:01.460><c> God</c><00:32:01.660><c> works</c><00:32:01.960><c> with</c><00:32:02.140><c> us.</c>

00:32:03.460 --> 00:32:06.460
We<00:32:03.599><c> shouldn't</c><00:32:03.799><c> expect</c><00:32:04.160><c> him</c><00:32:04.359><c> to</c><00:32:04.720><c> provide</c><00:32:05.000><c> more</c><00:32:05.380><c> than</c><00:32:05.599><c> just</c><00:32:05.980><c> that,</c><00:32:06.240><c> our</c>

00:32:07.160 --> 00:32:09.119
If<00:32:07.279><c> we</c><00:32:07.559><c> dedicate</c><00:32:08.079><c> ourselves</c><00:32:08.599><c> to</c><00:32:08.819><c> God,</c>

00:32:09.119 --> 00:32:11.880
if<00:32:09.420><c> we</c><00:32:09.640><c> give</c><00:32:09.880><c> him</c><00:32:10.200><c> his</c><00:32:10.480><c> portion</c><00:32:10.920><c> first</c><00:32:11.319><c> of</c><00:32:11.500><c> everything</c><00:32:11.740><c> that</c>

00:32:11.880 --> 00:32:12.720
he's<00:32:12.140><c> given</c><00:32:12.299><c> us,</c>

00:32:13.160 --> 00:32:15.099
then<00:32:13.380><c> he</c><00:32:13.579><c> will</c><00:32:13.819><c> provide</c><00:32:14.200><c> for</c><00:32:14.400><c> our</c><00:32:14.640><c> daily</c><00:32:14.880><c> needs,</c>

00:32:15.200 --> 00:32:17.680
as<00:32:15.220><c> we</c><00:32:15.400><c> saw</c><00:32:15.619><c> with</c><00:32:16.299><c> Jesus'</c><00:32:16.839><c> words</c><00:32:17.140><c> in</c><00:32:17.359><c> Matthew.</c>

00:32:17.880 --> 00:32:19.779
He'll<00:32:18.140><c> provide</c><00:32:18.420><c> and</c><00:32:18.579><c> look</c><00:32:18.740><c> after</c><00:32:19.039><c> us</c><00:32:19.200><c> and</c><00:32:19.400><c> ensure</c><00:32:19.500><c> that</c><00:32:19.640><c> we</c>

00:32:19.779 --> 00:32:21.559
just<00:32:20.259><c> have</c><00:32:20.660><c> enough.</c>

00:32:21.880 --> 00:32:23.720
It's<00:32:21.960><c> not</c><00:32:22.019><c> going</c><00:32:22.140><c> to</c><00:32:22.259><c> make</c><00:32:22.480><c> you</c><00:32:22.740><c> rich.</c>

00:32:23.779 --> 00:32:25.279
It's<00:32:23.859><c> not</c><00:32:24.019><c> going</c><00:32:24.140><c> to</c><00:32:24.240><c> make</c><00:32:24.460><c> life</c><00:32:24.759><c> easy.</c>

00:32:25.500 --> 00:32:26.859
Many<00:32:25.660><c> churches</c><00:32:26.039><c> preach</c><00:32:26.400><c> that</c><00:32:26.619><c> today.</c>

00:32:26.859 --> 00:32:29.119
It's<00:32:27.019><c> a</c><00:32:27.180><c> popular</c><00:32:27.440><c> message</c><00:32:27.880><c> that</c><00:32:28.160><c> if</c><00:32:28.380><c> you</c><00:32:28.480><c> give</c><00:32:28.660><c> to</c><00:32:28.900><c> God,</c>

00:32:29.119 --> 00:32:31.700
he'll<00:32:29.319><c> give</c><00:32:29.579><c> back</c><00:32:29.880><c> and</c><00:32:30.180><c> overflowing</c><00:32:30.740><c> and</c><00:32:30.980><c> reward</c><00:32:31.339><c> you.</c>

00:32:31.799 --> 00:32:34.480
It<00:32:32.099><c> happens,</c><00:32:32.460><c> but</c><00:32:33.059><c> it's</c><00:32:33.579><c> not</c><00:32:33.720><c> what</c><00:32:33.859><c> God</c><00:32:34.019><c> is</c><00:32:34.240><c> about.</c>

00:32:34.559 --> 00:32:37.619
I'll<00:32:34.819><c> give</c><00:32:34.920><c> you</c><00:32:35.059><c> just</c><00:32:35.339><c> enough</c><00:32:35.700><c> to</c><00:32:35.920><c> survive</c><00:32:36.440><c> and</c><00:32:36.619><c> it</c><00:32:36.779><c> won't</c><00:32:36.980><c> run</c><00:32:37.240><c> out.</c>

00:32:37.619 --> 00:32:39.720
But<00:32:37.980><c> you</c><00:32:38.079><c> need</c><00:32:38.339><c> to</c><00:32:38.660><c> provide</c><00:32:38.940><c> for</c><00:32:39.140><c> me</c><00:32:39.420><c> first</c>

00:32:43.460 --> 00:32:45.539
And<00:32:43.599><c> the</c><00:32:43.700><c> remarkable</c><00:32:44.160><c> thing</c><00:32:44.400><c> is</c><00:32:44.640><c> that</c><00:32:44.900><c> that's</c><00:32:45.140><c> what</c><00:32:45.299><c> this</c>

00:32:45.539 --> 00:32:45.960
widow<00:32:45.700><c> did.</c>

Verse<00:32:46.259><c> 15.</c>

00:32:47.740 --> 00:32:50.359
And<00:32:47.839><c> she</c><00:32:47.980><c> went</c><00:32:48.299><c> and</c><00:32:48.480><c> did</c><00:32:48.599><c> according</c><00:32:49.079><c> to</c><00:32:49.279><c> the</c><00:32:49.500><c> saying</c><00:32:49.680><c> of</c><00:32:49.900><c> Elijah.</c>

00:32:50.859 --> 00:32:54.460
And<00:32:51.039><c> she</c><00:32:51.279><c> and</c><00:32:51.480><c> he</c><00:32:51.619><c> in</c><00:32:51.720><c> her</c><00:32:51.940><c> house</c><00:32:52.220><c> did</c><00:32:52.460><c> eat</c><00:32:53.039><c> many</c><00:32:53.480><c> days.</c>

00:32:55.000 --> 00:32:57.079
I<00:32:55.140><c> just</c><00:32:55.279><c> remember</c><00:32:55.539><c> for</c><00:32:55.700><c> this</c><00:32:55.920><c> widow,</c><00:32:56.079><c> there</c><00:32:56.180><c> were</c><00:32:56.380><c> no</c><00:32:56.779><c> second</c>

00:32:57.079 --> 00:32:57.920
chances<00:32:57.559><c> here.</c>

00:32:58.339 --> 00:33:01.039
What<00:32:58.519><c> if</c><00:32:58.599><c> she</c><00:32:58.759><c> had</c><00:32:58.900><c> made</c><00:32:59.059><c> up</c><00:32:59.259><c> that</c><00:32:59.559><c> flour</c><00:32:59.880><c> for,</c><00:33:00.819><c> you</c><00:33:00.960><c> know,</c>

00:33:01.039 --> 00:33:02.440
she<00:33:01.160><c> had</c><00:33:01.319><c> just</c><00:33:01.599><c> enough</c><00:33:01.740><c> for</c><00:33:01.859><c> her</c><00:33:02.079><c> and</c><00:33:02.220><c> her</c><00:33:02.359><c> son.</c>

00:33:02.500 --> 00:33:05.559
So<00:33:02.640><c> she</c><00:33:02.779><c> takes</c><00:33:03.059><c> her</c><00:33:03.420><c> portion</c><00:33:03.839><c> and</c><00:33:04.339><c> she</c><00:33:04.539><c> gives</c><00:33:04.740><c> that</c><00:33:04.980><c> to</c><00:33:05.180><c> Elijah.</c>

00:33:05.559 --> 00:33:08.079
What<00:33:06.380><c> if</c><00:33:06.500><c> he</c><00:33:06.619><c> just</c><00:33:06.819><c> ate</c><00:33:07.059><c> it</c><00:33:07.240><c> and</c><00:33:07.339><c> then</c><00:33:07.519><c> kept</c><00:33:07.700><c> walking?</c>

Just<00:33:08.519><c> entirely</c><00:33:08.900><c> possible.</c>

00:33:10.619 --> 00:33:11.279
That's<00:33:11.099><c> it.</c>

00:33:11.400 --> 00:33:13.559
Either<00:33:11.680><c> her</c><00:33:11.880><c> or</c><00:33:12.039><c> her</c><00:33:12.180><c> son</c><00:33:12.299><c> wouldn't</c><00:33:12.599><c> get</c><00:33:12.819><c> that</c><00:33:13.079><c> last</c><00:33:13.400><c> meal.</c>

00:33:16.220 --> 00:33:19.220
She<00:33:16.440><c> was</c><00:33:16.660><c> literally</c><00:33:17.079><c> putting</c><00:33:17.380><c> her</c><00:33:17.759><c> life</c><00:33:18.000><c> on</c><00:33:18.259><c> the</c><00:33:18.460><c> line</c><00:33:18.700><c> here</c>

00:33:19.220 --> 00:33:20.819

00:33:23.339 --> 00:33:26.859
And<00:33:23.480><c> yet</c><00:33:23.559><c> that's</c><00:33:23.960><c> faithfulness,</c><00:33:25.220><c> the</c><00:33:25.519><c> seed</c><00:33:25.759><c> of</c><00:33:26.039><c> faith</c><00:33:26.220><c> was</c><00:33:26.460><c> there</c>

00:33:26.859 --> 00:33:28.599
and<00:33:27.200><c> she</c><00:33:27.619><c> went</c><00:33:27.799><c> ahead</c><00:33:28.039><c> and</c><00:33:28.220><c> did</c><00:33:28.339><c> it.</c>

00:33:28.700 --> 00:33:32.440
And<00:33:28.859><c> of</c><00:33:29.019><c> course,</c><00:33:29.240><c> God</c><00:33:29.380><c> did</c><00:33:29.579><c> that</c><00:33:29.799><c> remarkable</c><00:33:31.039><c> miracle</c><00:33:32.200><c> and</c>

00:33:32.440 --> 00:33:33.839
she<00:33:32.619><c> didn't</c><00:33:32.799><c> run</c><00:33:33.019><c> out.</c>

00:33:35.799 --> 00:33:39.279
She<00:33:36.279><c> was</c><00:33:36.759><c> rewarded,</c><00:33:37.359><c> she</c><00:33:37.380><c> was</c><00:33:37.619><c> sustained</c><00:33:38.079><c> and</c><00:33:38.619><c> probably</c><00:33:39.039><c> for</c>

00:33:39.279 --> 00:33:40.000
two<00:33:39.559><c> years.</c>

00:33:40.500 --> 00:33:42.839
Elijah<00:33:40.740><c> lived</c><00:33:41.019><c> there</c><00:33:41.299><c> with</c><00:33:41.619><c> that</c><00:33:41.920><c> family.</c>

00:33:42.859 --> 00:33:45.720
Every<00:33:43.220><c> morning,</c><00:33:44.319><c> the</c><00:33:44.599><c> miracle</c><00:33:45.000><c> would</c><00:33:45.160><c> have</c><00:33:45.380><c> happened.</c>

00:33:45.920 --> 00:33:48.220
There<00:33:45.940><c> was</c><00:33:46.099><c> a</c><00:33:46.220><c> little</c><00:33:46.380><c> bit</c><00:33:46.559><c> of</c><00:33:46.740><c> flour</c><00:33:47.000><c> and</c><00:33:47.480><c> a</c><00:33:47.539><c> little</c><00:33:47.819><c> bit</c><00:33:48.039><c> of</c>

00:33:48.220 --> 00:33:49.039
oil<00:33:48.380><c> just</c><00:33:48.740><c> there.</c>

00:33:49.039 --> 00:33:50.500
Every<00:33:49.440><c> morning</c><00:33:49.740><c> it</c><00:33:49.859><c> would</c><00:33:49.980><c> come</c><00:33:50.220><c> back.</c>

00:33:50.720 --> 00:33:51.960
It<00:33:50.839><c> was</c><00:33:51.099><c> like</c><00:33:51.420><c> manna</c><00:33:51.720><c> for</c><00:33:51.859><c> her.</c>

00:33:52.019 --> 00:33:55.660
And<00:33:52.079><c> in</c><00:33:52.180><c> fact,</c><00:33:52.500><c> that's</c><00:33:52.759><c> how</c><00:33:52.920><c> manna</c><00:33:53.259><c> is</c><00:33:53.619><c> described</c><00:33:54.220><c> here</c><00:33:54.859><c> in</c><00:33:55.240><c> numbers.</c>

00:33:55.980 --> 00:33:58.579
People<00:33:56.259><c> went</c><00:33:56.480><c> about</c><00:33:56.839><c> and</c><00:33:57.099><c> gathered</c><00:33:57.279><c> it</c><00:33:57.559><c> and</c><00:33:57.859><c> ground</c><00:33:58.039><c> it</c><00:33:58.200><c> to</c><00:33:58.319><c> mills</c>

00:33:58.579 --> 00:34:01.380
or<00:33:58.740><c> bed</c><00:33:58.859><c> it</c><00:33:59.019><c> to</c><00:33:59.200><c> mortar</c><00:33:59.359><c> and</c><00:33:59.599><c> baked</c><00:33:59.819><c> it</c><00:34:00.000><c> in</c><00:34:00.180><c> pans</c><00:34:00.299><c> and</c><00:34:00.480><c> made</c><00:34:00.720><c> cakes</c><00:34:01.019><c> of</c><00:34:01.200><c> it.</c>

00:34:01.559 --> 00:34:02.700
And<00:34:01.700><c> what</c><00:34:01.819><c> did</c><00:34:01.920><c> it</c><00:34:02.119><c> taste</c><00:34:02.339><c> like?</c>

00:34:03.079 --> 00:34:05.299
Tastes<00:34:03.359><c> like</c><00:34:03.700><c> fresh</c><00:34:03.980><c> oil,</c><00:34:04.680><c> a</c><00:34:04.740><c> bit</c><00:34:04.880><c> of</c><00:34:05.119><c> flour</c>

00:34:05.299 --> 00:34:06.200
and<00:34:05.460><c> a</c><00:34:05.460><c> little</c><00:34:05.640><c> bit</c><00:34:05.819><c> of</c><00:34:05.960><c> oil.</c>

00:34:06.559 --> 00:34:09.900
So<00:34:06.839><c> as</c><00:34:07.380><c> we'll</c><00:34:07.680><c> see,</c><00:34:07.819><c> although</c><00:34:08.019><c> she</c><00:34:08.239><c> had</c><00:34:08.780><c> had</c><00:34:08.980><c> manna</c><00:34:09.219><c> every</c><00:34:09.659><c> day</c>

00:34:09.900 --> 00:34:12.559
essentially<00:34:10.300><c> was</c><00:34:10.519><c> given</c><00:34:10.739><c> to</c><00:34:11.079><c> her</c><00:34:11.400><c> with</c><00:34:12.000><c> Elijah</c><00:34:12.380><c> there,</c>

00:34:12.659 --> 00:34:16.960
we'll<00:34:12.800><c> see</c><00:34:12.840><c> that</c><00:34:13.079><c> unfortunately</c><00:34:13.900><c> it</c><00:34:14.480><c> didn't</c><00:34:14.900><c> totally</c><00:34:15.460><c> convince</c><00:34:15.920><c> her.</c>

00:34:17.099 --> 00:34:19.760
And<00:34:17.300><c> it</c><00:34:17.360><c> was</c><00:34:17.500><c> the</c><00:34:17.639><c> same</c><00:34:17.739><c> with</c><00:34:17.960><c> the</c><00:34:18.059><c> children</c><00:34:18.179><c> of</c><00:34:18.300><c> Israel</c><00:34:19.639><c> in</c>

00:34:19.760 --> 00:34:20.739
the<00:34:19.960><c> wilderness,</c><00:34:20.360><c> was</c><00:34:20.480><c> it?</c>

00:34:21.019 --> 00:34:23.079
They<00:34:21.320><c> had</c><00:34:21.500><c> their</c><00:34:21.739><c> manna</c><00:34:22.239><c> every</c><00:34:22.679><c> morning.</c>

00:34:23.519 --> 00:34:25.239
They<00:34:23.679><c> had</c><00:34:23.840><c> their</c><00:34:24.039><c> pillar</c><00:34:24.320><c> of</c><00:34:24.639><c> fire</c><00:34:24.840><c> at</c><00:34:25.059><c> night.</c>

00:34:25.320 --> 00:34:28.079
They<00:34:25.400><c> had</c><00:34:25.500><c> their</c><00:34:25.800><c> smoke</c><00:34:26.079><c> every</c><00:34:26.460><c> day</c><00:34:26.719><c> for</c><00:34:27.019><c> 40</c><00:34:27.340><c> years.</c>

00:34:28.500 --> 00:34:31.000
And<00:34:28.739><c> yet</c><00:34:28.820><c> they</c><00:34:29.079><c> still</c><00:34:29.360><c> struggled</c><00:34:29.639><c> with</c><00:34:29.880><c> their</c><00:34:30.139><c> faith.</c>

00:34:31.360 --> 00:34:33.300
And<00:34:31.619><c> it</c><00:34:31.719><c> can</c><00:34:31.780><c> be</c><00:34:31.920><c> the</c><00:34:32.099><c> same</c><00:34:32.219><c> with</c><00:34:32.400><c> us,</c><00:34:32.860><c> can't</c><00:34:32.880><c> it</c><00:34:32.980><c> as</c><00:34:33.159><c> well?</c>

00:34:33.300 --> 00:34:36.639
Human<00:34:33.559><c> nature</c><00:34:33.980><c> is</c><00:34:34.619><c> a</c><00:34:34.780><c> funny</c><00:34:34.960><c> thing,</c><00:34:35.380><c> become</c><00:34:35.639><c> complacent</c>

00:34:36.639 --> 00:34:39.579
in<00:34:36.840><c> the</c><00:34:37.019><c> amazing</c><00:34:37.460><c> blessings</c><00:34:37.860><c> that</c><00:34:38.019><c> we</c><00:34:38.199><c> have</c><00:34:38.460><c> every</c><00:34:38.760><c> day.</c>

00:34:39.940 --> 00:34:43.880
Our<00:34:40.119><c> family,</c><00:34:40.960><c> our</c><00:34:41.179><c> lives,</c><00:34:41.579><c> our</c><00:34:41.739><c> jobs,</c><00:34:42.639><c> our</c><00:34:42.860><c> ecclesias,</c>

00:34:43.920 --> 00:34:45.139
our<00:34:44.239><c> friends,</c><00:34:44.679><c> our</c><00:34:44.780><c> young</c><00:34:45.000><c> people,</c>

00:34:45.300 --> 00:34:48.099
these<00:34:45.300><c> are</c><00:34:45.480><c> all</c><00:34:45.980><c> everyday</c><00:34:46.440><c> blessings</c><00:34:46.960><c> that</c><00:34:47.179><c> God</c><00:34:47.400><c> bless</c><00:34:47.739><c> us</c><00:34:47.980><c> with.</c>

00:34:48.219 --> 00:34:50.519
We<00:34:48.219><c> have</c><00:34:48.280><c> this</c><00:34:48.500><c> little</c><00:34:48.860><c> bit</c><00:34:49.039><c> of</c><00:34:49.239><c> manna</c><00:34:49.559><c> every</c><00:34:49.980><c> single</c><00:34:50.380><c> day,</c>

00:34:50.539 --> 00:34:52.380
a<00:34:50.639><c> little</c><00:34:50.719><c> bit</c><00:34:50.940><c> of</c><00:34:51.059><c> flour,</c><00:34:51.219><c> a</c><00:34:51.320><c> little</c><00:34:51.420><c> bit</c><00:34:51.539><c> of</c><00:34:51.659><c> oil</c><00:34:51.940><c> that</c><00:34:52.199><c> God</c>

00:34:52.380 --> 00:34:53.900
gives<00:34:52.579><c> us</c><00:34:52.840><c> every</c><00:34:53.079><c> day.</c>

00:34:54.739 --> 00:34:57.920
But<00:34:54.980><c> sometimes</c><00:34:55.360><c> like</c><00:34:55.579><c> Elijah,</c><00:34:56.000><c> we</c><00:34:56.099><c> want</c><00:34:56.260><c> to</c><00:34:56.440><c> chase</c><00:34:56.619><c> the</c><00:34:56.820><c> big</c><00:34:57.019><c> things.</c>

00:34:58.519 --> 00:34:59.860
We<00:34:58.840><c> want</c><00:34:58.980><c> to</c><00:34:59.099><c> see</c><00:34:59.300><c> the</c><00:34:59.500><c> mighty</c><00:34:59.719><c> things.</c>

00:34:59.960 --> 00:35:01.820
We<00:35:00.039><c> forget</c><00:35:00.280><c> about</c><00:35:00.539><c> the</c><00:35:00.699><c> little</c><00:35:00.920><c> things.</c>

00:35:01.880 --> 00:35:04.420
But<00:35:02.179><c> this</c><00:35:02.500><c> is</c><00:35:02.659><c> what</c><00:35:03.139><c> God</c><00:35:03.420><c> provides</c><00:35:03.960><c> for</c><00:35:04.280><c> us.</c>

00:35:04.440 --> 00:35:05.679
He's<00:35:04.739><c> promised</c><00:35:04.960><c> to</c><00:35:05.179><c> give</c><00:35:05.300><c> us.</c>

00:35:05.920 --> 00:35:08.340
Now,<00:35:06.039><c> why</c><00:35:06.159><c> do</c><00:35:06.280><c> I</c><00:35:06.400><c> say</c><00:35:06.539><c> that</c><00:35:06.699><c> she</c><00:35:06.880><c> wasn't</c><00:35:07.199><c> totally</c><00:35:07.840><c> converted?</c>

00:35:08.480 --> 00:35:12.539
Well,<00:35:08.679><c> look</c><00:35:08.820><c> at</c><00:35:09.420><c> verse</c><00:35:09.659><c> 17</c><00:35:10.280><c> there,</c><00:35:11.199><c> the</c><00:35:11.400><c> next</c><00:35:11.619><c> verse.</c>

00:35:12.719 --> 00:35:14.960
It<00:35:12.739><c> came</c><00:35:12.840><c> to</c><00:35:13.119><c> pass</c><00:35:13.380><c> after</c><00:35:13.699><c> these</c><00:35:14.019><c> things</c><00:35:14.239><c> that</c><00:35:14.400><c> the</c><00:35:14.639><c> son</c><00:35:14.800><c> of</c>

00:35:14.960 --> 00:35:15.260
the<00:35:15.079><c> woman,</c>

00:35:15.380 --> 00:35:17.639
the<00:35:15.500><c> mistress</c><00:35:15.860><c> of</c><00:35:16.059><c> the</c><00:35:16.260><c> house,</c><00:35:16.619><c> fell</c><00:35:16.780><c> sick.</c>

00:35:17.840 --> 00:35:20.860
And<00:35:18.280><c> his</c><00:35:18.519><c> sickness</c><00:35:18.800><c> was</c><00:35:19.139><c> so</c><00:35:19.440><c> sore</c><00:35:19.599><c> and</c><00:35:19.739><c> there</c><00:35:19.900><c> was</c><00:35:20.099><c> no</c><00:35:20.440><c> breath</c>

00:35:20.860 --> 00:35:21.579
left<00:35:21.159><c> in</c><00:35:21.400><c> him.</c>

00:35:21.880 --> 00:35:24.099
Now,<00:35:22.440><c> why</c><00:35:22.679><c> does</c><00:35:22.840><c> God</c><00:35:23.039><c> use</c><00:35:23.300><c> this</c><00:35:23.460><c> specific</c><00:35:23.840><c> word,</c>

00:35:24.219 --> 00:35:25.340
the<00:35:24.400><c> mistress</c><00:35:24.780><c> of</c><00:35:24.980><c> the</c><00:35:25.139><c> house?</c>

00:35:25.360 --> 00:35:25.980
It<00:35:25.519><c> seems</c><00:35:25.679><c> strange.</c>

00:35:26.260 --> 00:35:28.880
The<00:35:26.420><c> only</c><00:35:26.880><c> time</c><00:35:27.119><c> it's</c><00:35:27.420><c> used</c><00:35:27.639><c> in</c><00:35:27.920><c> two</c><00:35:28.139><c> other</c><00:35:28.380><c> places</c>

00:35:28.880 --> 00:35:33.380
would<00:35:29.619><c> seem</c><00:35:30.519><c> to</c><00:35:30.780><c> indicate</c><00:35:31.239><c> that</c><00:35:32.039><c> maybe</c><00:35:32.719><c> there's</c><00:35:33.000><c> a</c><00:35:33.000><c> bit</c><00:35:33.159><c> more</c>

00:35:33.380 --> 00:35:34.380
to<00:35:33.519><c> her</c><00:35:33.860><c> story</c><00:35:34.099><c> here.</c>

00:35:34.599 --> 00:35:37.340
You<00:35:34.739><c> see</c><00:35:34.860><c> there</c><00:35:35.059><c> that</c><00:35:35.179><c> it's</c><00:35:35.480><c> used</c><00:35:35.679><c> of</c><00:35:36.400><c> the</c><00:35:36.559><c> witch</c><00:35:36.719><c> of</c><00:35:36.920><c> Endor</c>

00:35:37.340 --> 00:35:38.960
and<00:35:37.860><c> also</c><00:35:38.159><c> of</c><00:35:38.360><c> witches</c><00:35:38.579><c> as</c><00:35:38.840><c> well.</c>

00:35:39.059 --> 00:35:41.900
Then<00:35:39.199><c> it's</c><00:35:39.360><c> not</c><00:35:39.360><c> to</c><00:35:39.659><c> seek</c><00:35:40.099><c> out</c><00:35:40.239><c> a</c><00:35:40.340><c> woman</c><00:35:40.539><c> of</c><00:35:40.760><c> a</c><00:35:40.880><c> familiar</c><00:35:41.260><c> spirit</c>

00:35:42.380 --> 00:35:44.659
that<00:35:42.860><c> go</c><00:35:43.000><c> on</c><00:35:43.119><c> to</c><00:35:43.199><c> a</c><00:35:43.300><c> woman</c><00:35:43.599><c> that</c><00:35:43.840><c> had</c><00:35:43.940><c> a</c><00:35:44.139><c> similar</c><00:35:44.380><c> spirit,</c>

00:35:44.780 --> 00:35:46.539
is<00:35:44.860><c> that</c><00:35:45.099><c> word</c><00:35:45.480><c> mistress</c><00:35:46.239><c> there.</c>

00:35:46.559 --> 00:35:48.760
And<00:35:46.719><c> once</c><00:35:46.860><c> again,</c><00:35:47.199><c> the</c><00:35:47.340><c> mistress</c><00:35:47.639><c> of</c><00:35:47.880><c> witchcrafts.</c>

00:35:48.920 --> 00:35:51.239
So<00:35:48.920><c> why</c><00:35:49.980><c> is</c><00:35:50.159><c> God</c><00:35:50.239><c> using</c><00:35:50.559><c> this</c><00:35:51.000><c> word?</c>

00:35:51.280 --> 00:35:54.039
It<00:35:51.380><c> would</c><00:35:51.599><c> seem</c><00:35:51.820><c> to</c><00:35:52.179><c> indicate</c><00:35:52.440><c> that</c><00:35:52.739><c> she</c><00:35:53.039><c> hasn't</c><00:35:53.380><c> fully</c><00:35:53.679><c> been</c>

00:35:54.039 --> 00:35:54.840
converted<00:35:54.440><c> over.</c>

00:35:55.119 --> 00:35:58.539
There's<00:35:55.340><c> still</c><00:35:55.599><c> some</c><00:35:55.820><c> of</c><00:35:55.960><c> her</c><00:35:56.119><c> old</c><00:35:56.380><c> gentile</c><00:35:56.960><c> life</c><00:35:57.300><c> that's</c><00:35:58.219><c> there.</c>

00:35:58.880 --> 00:36:01.659
And<00:35:59.519><c> now</c><00:36:00.079><c> God's</c><00:36:00.380><c> going</c><00:36:00.639><c> to</c><00:36:00.860><c> work</c><00:36:01.139><c> with</c><00:36:01.440><c> that.</c>

00:36:01.760 --> 00:36:03.860
And<00:36:01.840><c> this</c><00:36:02.079><c> next</c><00:36:02.420><c> test</c><00:36:02.719><c> is</c><00:36:02.940><c> to</c><00:36:03.179><c> develop</c><00:36:03.360><c> her</c><00:36:03.679><c> faith</c>

00:36:03.860 --> 00:36:06.440
and<00:36:04.260><c> to</c><00:36:04.619><c> finalize</c><00:36:05.340><c> the</c><00:36:05.679><c> converting</c><00:36:05.960><c> of</c><00:36:06.260><c> her</c>

00:36:06.440 --> 00:36:09.539
and<00:36:06.760><c> as</c><00:36:06.960><c> well</c><00:36:07.079><c> to</c><00:36:07.300><c> teach</c><00:36:07.519><c> Elijah</c><00:36:07.840><c> a</c><00:36:08.139><c> lesson</c><00:36:08.360><c> as</c><00:36:08.539><c> we'll</c><00:36:08.820><c> see.</c>

00:36:09.960 --> 00:36:12.280
And<00:36:10.059><c> she</c><00:36:10.199><c> says</c><00:36:10.460><c> to</c><00:36:10.719><c> Elijah,</c><00:36:11.239><c> verse</c><00:36:11.539><c> 18,</c>

00:36:12.539 --> 00:36:15.179
she<00:36:12.659><c> said</c><00:36:12.820><c> unto</c><00:36:13.039><c> Elijah,</c><00:36:13.960><c> what</c><00:36:14.000><c> have</c><00:36:14.159><c> I</c><00:36:14.280><c> to</c><00:36:14.460><c> do</c><00:36:14.579><c> with</c><00:36:14.820><c> thee,</c><00:36:15.019><c> O</c>

00:36:15.179 --> 00:36:16.360
man<00:36:15.300><c> of</c><00:36:15.539><c> God?</c>

00:36:16.639 --> 00:36:19.460
Art<00:36:16.800><c> thou</c><00:36:16.940><c> come</c><00:36:17.300><c> unto</c><00:36:17.500><c> me</c><00:36:17.719><c> to</c><00:36:17.880><c> call</c><00:36:18.079><c> my</c><00:36:18.440><c> sin</c><00:36:18.639><c> to</c><00:36:18.940><c> remembrance</c>

00:36:19.460 --> 00:36:21.519
and<00:36:19.900><c> to</c><00:36:20.179><c> slay</c><00:36:20.360><c> my</c><00:36:20.659><c> son?</c>

00:36:21.719 --> 00:36:24.400
So<00:36:21.920><c> this</c><00:36:22.400><c> widow</c><00:36:22.679><c> believes</c><00:36:23.119><c> that</c><00:36:23.340><c> her</c><00:36:23.599><c> son</c><00:36:23.840><c> has</c><00:36:24.139><c> died</c>

00:36:24.400 --> 00:36:28.340
because<00:36:24.820><c> of</c><00:36:25.360><c> her</c><00:36:25.619><c> past</c><00:36:25.940><c> or</c><00:36:26.239><c> maybe</c><00:36:26.579><c> even</c><00:36:26.920><c> her</c><00:36:27.280><c> present</c><00:36:27.599><c> sinful</c><00:36:27.980><c> life,</c>

00:36:28.340 --> 00:36:30.860
seems<00:36:28.760><c> to</c><00:36:28.960><c> be</c><00:36:29.139><c> indicated</c><00:36:29.440><c> by</c><00:36:29.659><c> this</c><00:36:29.900><c> mistress.</c>

00:36:31.039 --> 00:36:32.780
So<00:36:31.219><c> she's</c><00:36:31.219><c> saying,</c><00:36:31.420><c> I've</c><00:36:31.820><c> been</c><00:36:31.920><c> doing</c><00:36:32.139><c> bad</c><00:36:32.420><c> things</c>

00:36:32.780 --> 00:36:35.000
and<00:36:32.980><c> now</c><00:36:33.260><c> God's</c><00:36:33.719><c> killed</c><00:36:33.880><c> my</c><00:36:34.179><c> son.</c>

00:36:35.199 --> 00:36:38.820
And<00:36:35.639><c> you</c><00:36:35.820><c> can't</c><00:36:36.079><c> really</c><00:36:36.360><c> blame</c><00:36:36.659><c> her</c><00:36:36.960><c> for</c><00:36:37.159><c> having</c><00:36:37.519><c> this</c><00:36:37.820><c> connection.</c>

00:36:38.860 --> 00:36:41.539
She's<00:36:39.099><c> been</c><00:36:39.280><c> living</c><00:36:39.440><c> with</c><00:36:39.659><c> Elijah</c><00:36:40.099><c> for</c><00:36:40.300><c> the</c><00:36:40.500><c> last</c><00:36:40.800><c> two</c><00:36:41.119><c> years,</c>

00:36:41.840 --> 00:36:44.199
who<00:36:41.980><c> now</c><00:36:42.219><c> no</c><00:36:42.519><c> doubt</c><00:36:42.719><c> would</c><00:36:42.880><c> have</c><00:36:43.079><c> explained</c><00:36:43.539><c> to</c><00:36:43.679><c> her</c><00:36:43.960><c> that,</c>

00:36:44.519 --> 00:36:46.840
well,<00:36:44.699><c> I</c><00:36:44.940><c> brought</c><00:36:45.139><c> the</c><00:36:45.420><c> drought</c><00:36:45.579><c> because</c><00:36:45.960><c> the</c><00:36:46.239><c> people</c><00:36:46.420><c> have</c><00:36:46.699><c> sinned,</c>

00:36:46.860 --> 00:36:49.159
the<00:36:46.960><c> people</c><00:36:47.139><c> have</c><00:36:47.440><c> sinned</c><00:36:47.699><c> and</c><00:36:47.760><c> therefore</c><00:36:48.079><c> God's</c><00:36:48.599><c> punishing</c><00:36:48.880><c> them.</c>

00:36:49.340 --> 00:36:51.920
So<00:36:49.519><c> she</c><00:36:49.699><c> sees</c><00:36:50.019><c> this,</c><00:36:50.460><c> well,</c><00:36:50.860><c> I'm</c><00:36:51.139><c> being</c><00:36:51.440><c> punished,</c>

00:36:52.119 --> 00:36:53.780
my<00:36:52.300><c> son's</c><00:36:52.699><c> died,</c><00:36:52.920><c> something</c><00:36:53.119><c> bad's</c><00:36:53.639><c> happened.</c>

00:36:53.800 --> 00:36:57.199
So<00:36:54.159><c> it</c><00:36:54.340><c> must</c><00:36:54.599><c> be</c><00:36:54.800><c> because</c><00:36:55.039><c> of</c><00:36:55.199><c> my</c><00:36:55.440><c> sin</c><00:36:55.559><c> and</c><00:36:55.659><c> she</c><00:36:55.800><c> has</c><00:36:55.980><c> this</c><00:36:56.179><c> relation.</c>

00:36:57.420 --> 00:37:01.179
And<00:36:57.840><c> God's</c><00:36:58.239><c> going</c><00:36:58.400><c> to</c><00:36:58.579><c> show</c><00:36:58.699><c> that</c><00:36:58.860><c> this</c><00:36:59.059><c> isn't</c><00:36:59.320><c> always</c><00:36:59.739><c> the</c><00:37:00.139><c> case.</c>

00:37:02.760 --> 00:37:05.119
That's<00:37:02.980><c> how</c><00:37:03.280><c> Elijah</c><00:37:03.619><c> saw</c><00:37:03.880><c> it,</c><00:37:04.159><c> black</c><00:37:04.480><c> and</c><00:37:04.820><c> white.</c>

00:37:05.500 --> 00:37:08.460
And<00:37:05.760><c> so</c><00:37:05.940><c> he's</c><00:37:06.239><c> going</c><00:37:06.440><c> to</c><00:37:06.800><c> sort</c><00:37:07.000><c> of</c><00:37:07.739><c> work</c><00:37:07.940><c> in</c><00:37:08.059><c> these</c><00:37:08.219><c> events</c>

00:37:08.460 --> 00:37:09.940
to<00:37:08.679><c> bring</c><00:37:08.840><c> this</c><00:37:09.059><c> about.</c>

00:37:10.880 --> 00:37:12.920
My<00:37:10.980><c> son</c><00:37:11.159><c> has</c><00:37:11.420><c> died,</c><00:37:11.900><c> God</c><00:37:12.119><c> has</c><00:37:12.300><c> punished</c><00:37:12.659><c> me.</c>

00:37:13.019 --> 00:37:14.400
And<00:37:13.219><c> this</c><00:37:13.400><c> is</c><00:37:13.519><c> what</c><00:37:13.559><c> he's</c><00:37:13.679><c> going</c><00:37:13.840><c> to</c><00:37:14.059><c> teach</c><00:37:14.239><c> her.</c>

00:37:14.579 --> 00:37:17.340
So<00:37:14.780><c> Elijah</c><00:37:15.099><c> says,</c><00:37:15.460><c> okay,</c><00:37:15.639><c> verse</c><00:37:15.960><c> 19,</c><00:37:16.400><c> and</c><00:37:16.539><c> we</c><00:37:16.679><c> saw</c><00:37:16.820><c> this</c><00:37:17.019><c> before,</c>

00:37:17.360 --> 00:37:20.340
he's<00:37:17.500><c> very</c><00:37:18.079><c> sympathetic</c><00:37:18.659><c> answer,</c><00:37:19.480><c> give</c><00:37:19.639><c> me</c><00:37:19.780><c> thy</c><00:37:19.960><c> son.</c>

00:37:20.639 --> 00:37:23.480
He<00:37:20.840><c> grabs</c><00:37:21.059><c> her,</c><00:37:21.719><c> not</c><00:37:21.840><c> really</c><00:37:22.280><c> caring</c><00:37:22.539><c> much</c><00:37:22.800><c> about</c><00:37:23.099><c> it</c>

00:37:23.480 --> 00:37:26.300
and<00:37:24.099><c> takes</c><00:37:24.480><c> it</c><00:37:24.679><c> up</c><00:37:24.860><c> and</c><00:37:25.000><c> says,</c><00:37:25.219><c> he</c><00:37:25.280><c> took</c><00:37:25.440><c> her</c><00:37:25.639><c> out</c><00:37:25.800><c> of</c><00:37:25.880><c> her</c><00:37:26.059><c> bosom</c>

00:37:26.300 --> 00:37:29.199
and<00:37:26.400><c> carried</c><00:37:26.800><c> him</c><00:37:27.039><c> up</c><00:37:27.199><c> onto</c><00:37:27.400><c> a</c><00:37:27.659><c> loft</c><00:37:27.920><c> where</c><00:37:28.400><c> he</c><00:37:28.719><c> abode</c>

00:37:29.199 --> 00:37:31.019
and<00:37:29.619><c> laid</c><00:37:29.880><c> him</c><00:37:30.059><c> upon</c><00:37:30.239><c> his</c><00:37:30.440><c> own</c><00:37:30.639><c> bed.</c>

00:37:31.420 --> 00:37:34.900
And<00:37:31.579><c> he</c><00:37:31.880><c> cried</c><00:37:32.119><c> unto</c><00:37:32.460><c> Yahweh</c><00:37:32.760><c> and</c><00:37:32.840><c> said,</c><00:37:33.079><c> oh,</c><00:37:33.280><c> Yahweh</c><00:37:33.659><c> my</c><00:37:33.960><c> God,</c>

00:37:35.639 --> 00:37:38.320
why<00:37:35.940><c> hast</c><00:37:36.280><c> thou</c><00:37:36.420><c> also</c><00:37:36.900><c> brought</c><00:37:37.239><c> evil</c><00:37:37.679><c> upon</c><00:37:37.880><c> the</c><00:37:38.119><c> widow</c>

00:37:38.320 --> 00:37:41.900
with<00:37:38.619><c> whom</c><00:37:38.800><c> I</c><00:37:39.039><c> sojourn</c><00:37:39.920><c> by</c><00:37:40.239><c> slaying</c><00:37:40.760><c> her</c><00:37:41.119><c> son?</c>

00:37:42.139 --> 00:37:44.500
I<00:37:42.260><c> think</c><00:37:42.360><c> it's</c><00:37:42.519><c> a</c><00:37:42.659><c> really</c><00:37:42.860><c> interesting</c><00:37:43.380><c> insight</c><00:37:43.699><c> into</c><00:37:43.940><c> Elijah</c>

00:37:44.500 --> 00:37:47.860
as<00:37:45.159><c> what</c><00:37:45.380><c> he</c><00:37:45.699><c> believed</c><00:37:45.920><c> God</c><00:37:46.139><c> was</c><00:37:46.360><c> doing</c><00:37:46.519><c> here</c><00:37:46.780><c> as</c><00:37:47.000><c> well.</c>

00:37:47.900 --> 00:37:49.500
Now<00:37:48.079><c> it's</c><00:37:48.239><c> really</c><00:37:48.460><c> important</c><00:37:48.699><c> to</c><00:37:48.940><c> remember</c><00:37:49.219><c> that</c>

00:37:50.000 --> 00:37:54.199
if<00:37:50.380><c> Elijah</c><00:37:50.920><c> hadn't</c><00:37:51.360><c> arrived</c><00:37:51.719><c> when</c><00:37:51.880><c> he</c><00:37:52.159><c> did</c><00:37:52.760><c> two</c><00:37:53.420><c> years</c><00:37:53.699><c> ago,</c>

00:37:54.199 --> 00:37:57.400
that<00:37:54.800><c> both</c><00:37:55.179><c> this</c><00:37:55.559><c> child</c><00:37:55.940><c> and</c><00:37:56.119><c> this</c><00:37:56.380><c> widow</c><00:37:56.579><c> would</c><00:37:56.860><c> have</c><00:37:57.099><c> died</c>

00:37:57.400 --> 00:37:59.639
from<00:37:57.639><c> lack</c><00:37:57.900><c> of</c><00:37:58.219><c> food</c><00:37:58.619><c> due</c><00:37:58.920><c> to</c><00:37:59.099><c> the</c><00:37:59.340><c> drought.</c>

00:37:59.880 --> 00:38:00.519
Remember<00:38:00.019><c> that's</c><00:38:00.239><c> what</c><00:38:00.239><c> she</c><00:38:00.440><c> said,</c>

00:38:00.539 --> 00:38:01.599
I'm<00:38:00.699><c> about</c><00:38:00.820><c> to</c><00:38:00.920><c> eat</c><00:38:01.019><c> my</c><00:38:01.260><c> last</c><00:38:01.519><c> thing</c>

00:38:01.599 --> 00:38:03.320
and<00:38:01.679><c> then</c><00:38:01.780><c> we're</c><00:38:01.880><c> about</c><00:38:02.039><c> to</c><00:38:02.139><c> go</c><00:38:02.360><c> and</c><00:38:02.559><c> die.</c>

00:38:04.320 --> 00:38:07.619
So<00:38:04.480><c> the</c><00:38:04.539><c> question</c><00:38:04.820><c> is,</c><00:38:05.320><c> would</c><00:38:05.420><c> Elijah</c><00:38:05.960><c> have</c><00:38:06.300><c> acted</c><00:38:06.739><c> this</c><00:38:07.139><c> way</c>

00:38:07.619 --> 00:38:10.599
if<00:38:08.039><c> on</c><00:38:08.219><c> the</c><00:38:08.360><c> day</c><00:38:08.539><c> that</c><00:38:08.679><c> he</c><00:38:08.880><c> arrived,</c><00:38:09.260><c> some</c><00:38:09.579><c> random</c><00:38:10.019><c> gentile</c>

00:38:10.599 --> 00:38:11.840
boy<00:38:10.900><c> died?</c>

00:38:12.199 --> 00:38:14.619
Would<00:38:12.300><c> he</c><00:38:12.420><c> have</c><00:38:12.619><c> rushed</c><00:38:13.039><c> to</c><00:38:13.480><c> this</c><00:38:13.699><c> child</c><00:38:14.000><c> and</c><00:38:14.280><c> grabbed</c><00:38:14.480><c> him</c>

00:38:14.619 --> 00:38:16.960
and<00:38:14.880><c> taken</c><00:38:15.139><c> him</c><00:38:15.280><c> up</c><00:38:15.420><c> to</c><00:38:15.659><c> God</c><00:38:15.840><c> and</c><00:38:16.079><c> prayed</c><00:38:16.340><c> earnestly</c>

00:38:16.960 --> 00:38:18.840
that<00:38:17.059><c> this</c><00:38:17.320><c> child</c><00:38:17.500><c> was</c><00:38:17.780><c> resurrected</c><00:38:18.199><c> from</c><00:38:18.460><c> the</c><00:38:18.639><c> dead?</c>

00:38:19.239 --> 00:38:21.219
Would<00:38:19.340><c> he</c><00:38:19.440><c> have</c><00:38:19.699><c> connected</c><00:38:20.139><c> with</c><00:38:20.360><c> him</c><00:38:20.440><c> and</c><00:38:20.659><c> tried</c><00:38:20.880><c> to</c><00:38:21.079><c> do</c>

00:38:21.219 --> 00:38:22.420
these<00:38:21.420><c> things?</c>

00:38:22.579 --> 00:38:26.059
From<00:38:23.019><c> what</c><00:38:23.219><c> I've</c><00:38:23.619><c> seen</c><00:38:23.840><c> with</c><00:38:24.239><c> Elijah</c><00:38:24.599><c> so</c><00:38:24.940><c> far,</c><00:38:25.260><c> I</c><00:38:25.420><c> don't</c><00:38:25.639><c> think</c><00:38:25.820><c> so.</c>

00:38:26.159 --> 00:38:28.219
I<00:38:26.260><c> don't</c><00:38:26.380><c> think</c><00:38:26.460><c> that</c><00:38:26.579><c> would</c><00:38:26.739><c> have</c><00:38:26.900><c> been</c><00:38:27.019><c> his</c><00:38:27.260><c> reaction.</c>

00:38:28.420 --> 00:38:30.820
But<00:38:28.579><c> now</c><00:38:28.840><c> that</c><00:38:28.980><c> he's</c><00:38:29.260><c> spent</c><00:38:29.480><c> time</c><00:38:29.900><c> with</c><00:38:30.099><c> this</c><00:38:30.320><c> family,</c>

00:38:31.239 --> 00:38:34.260
he's<00:38:31.500><c> gotten</c><00:38:31.679><c> to</c><00:38:32.019><c> know</c><00:38:32.239><c> them,</c><00:38:32.420><c> he's</c><00:38:32.639><c> befriended</c><00:38:33.239><c> them,</c>

00:38:34.300 --> 00:38:36.960
that<00:38:34.380><c> when</c><00:38:34.519><c> this</c><00:38:34.780><c> boy</c><00:38:34.940><c> dies,</c><00:38:35.519><c> he</c><00:38:35.880><c> earnestly</c><00:38:36.559><c> prays</c>

00:38:36.960 --> 00:38:38.199
for<00:38:37.119><c> God</c><00:38:37.360><c> to</c><00:38:37.579><c> raise</c><00:38:37.800><c> him</c><00:38:38.019><c> up.</c>

00:38:38.460 --> 00:38:40.139
He<00:38:38.599><c> has</c><00:38:38.739><c> a</c><00:38:38.920><c> personal</c><00:38:39.480><c> relationship</c>

00:38:40.139 --> 00:38:43.139
and<00:38:40.300><c> a</c><00:38:40.619><c> personal</c><00:38:40.840><c> connection</c><00:38:41.360><c> now</c><00:38:41.880><c> with</c><00:38:42.099><c> this</c><00:38:42.320><c> son.</c>

00:38:43.380 --> 00:38:44.739
And<00:38:43.539><c> Elijah's</c><00:38:44.019><c> prayer</c><00:38:44.179><c> is</c><00:38:44.440><c> interesting.</c>

00:38:44.780 --> 00:38:47.860
He<00:38:44.780><c> says,</c><00:38:45.480><c> why</c><00:38:45.659><c> hast</c><00:38:45.940><c> thou</c><00:38:46.119><c> also</c><00:38:46.699><c> brought</c><00:38:47.039><c> evil</c><00:38:47.320><c> on</c><00:38:47.500><c> the</c><00:38:47.639><c> widow?</c>

00:38:47.860 --> 00:38:52.460
ESV<00:38:48.760><c> says,</c><00:38:49.659><c> why</c><00:38:49.800><c> have</c><00:38:50.980><c> you</c><00:38:51.139><c> brought</c><00:38:51.360><c> calamity</c><00:38:51.960><c> even</c><00:38:52.280><c> onto</c>

00:38:52.460 --> 00:38:53.519
this<00:38:52.719><c> widow?</c>

00:38:53.840 --> 00:38:57.099
Elijah<00:38:54.159><c> was</c><00:38:54.440><c> genuinely</c><00:38:55.000><c> confused</c><00:38:55.579><c> as</c><00:38:55.820><c> to</c><00:38:55.920><c> why</c><00:38:56.239><c> God</c><00:38:56.559><c> would</c><00:38:56.760><c> do</c><00:38:56.900><c> this</c>

00:38:57.099 --> 00:38:59.219
to<00:38:57.280><c> this</c><00:38:57.500><c> widow</c><00:38:57.679><c> who</c><00:38:57.840><c> was</c><00:38:58.099><c> sustaining</c><00:38:58.480><c> him,</c>

00:38:59.400 --> 00:39:01.920
someone<00:38:59.579><c> that</c><00:38:59.860><c> seemed</c><00:39:00.000><c> to</c><00:39:00.139><c> be</c><00:39:00.360><c> accepting</c><00:39:00.619><c> the</c><00:39:01.000><c> truth.</c>

00:39:02.460 --> 00:39:06.480
But<00:39:02.659><c> as</c><00:39:02.780><c> I</c><00:39:02.980><c> said,</c><00:39:05.139><c> the</c><00:39:05.300><c> son</c><00:39:05.460><c> would</c><00:39:05.619><c> have</c><00:39:05.800><c> died</c><00:39:06.039><c> anyway</c>

00:39:06.480 --> 00:39:09.159
from<00:39:06.679><c> Elijah's</c><00:39:07.340><c> famine,</c><00:39:08.820><c> wouldn't</c><00:39:08.980><c> he?</c>

00:39:09.219 --> 00:39:10.099
He<00:39:09.340><c> was</c><00:39:09.480><c> already</c><00:39:09.800><c> dead.</c>

00:39:10.239 --> 00:39:11.280
God<00:39:10.440><c> can</c><00:39:10.619><c> do</c><00:39:10.820><c> this.</c>

00:39:11.699 --> 00:39:12.659
He<00:39:11.820><c> was</c><00:39:12.039><c> dying</c><00:39:12.260><c> anyway.</c>

00:39:12.920 --> 00:39:14.719
And<00:39:13.059><c> you</c><00:39:13.139><c> see,</c><00:39:13.199><c> that's</c><00:39:13.480><c> the</c><00:39:13.659><c> problem</c><00:39:13.860><c> with</c><00:39:14.019><c> what</c><00:39:14.300><c> Elijah</c>

00:39:14.719 --> 00:39:15.719
have<00:39:14.960><c> asked</c><00:39:15.159><c> of</c><00:39:15.440><c> God.</c>

00:39:16.000 --> 00:39:17.699
It<00:39:16.219><c> was</c><00:39:16.460><c> a</c><00:39:16.679><c> broad</c><00:39:16.960><c> brush</c><00:39:17.260><c> approach.</c>

00:39:17.699 --> 00:39:19.940
It<00:39:17.800><c> was</c><00:39:17.980><c> affecting</c><00:39:18.420><c> the</c><00:39:18.719><c> good</c><00:39:18.900><c> and</c><00:39:19.260><c> the</c><00:39:19.480><c> bad.</c>

00:39:20.280 --> 00:39:22.519
Here's<00:39:20.539><c> just</c><00:39:20.840><c> one</c><00:39:21.139><c> example</c><00:39:21.599><c> God's</c><00:39:22.119><c> showing</c><00:39:22.139><c> us.</c>

00:39:22.760 --> 00:39:26.119
What<00:39:22.880><c> about</c><00:39:23.039><c> those</c><00:39:23.420><c> 7</c><00:39:23.719><c>,000</c><00:39:24.559><c> remnant</c><00:39:25.119><c> that</c><00:39:25.380><c> still</c><00:39:25.639><c> remained?</c>

00:39:26.539 --> 00:39:28.219

So<00:40:16.699><c> how</c><00:40:17.159><c> Elijah</c><00:40:17.699><c> is</c><00:40:18.000><c> feeling</c><00:40:18.219><c> now</c><00:40:18.599><c> that</c><00:40:18.760><c> this</c><00:40:19.000><c> boy</c><00:40:19.119><c> is</c><00:40:19.400><c> dying</c>

00:40:19.719 --> 00:40:22.619

00:40:26.880 --> 00:40:28.559
That's<00:40:27.119><c> how</c><00:40:27.260><c> God</c><00:40:27.519><c> intimately</c><00:40:27.980><c> feels.</c>

00:40:28.880 --> 00:40:31.920
And<00:40:28.960><c> Elijah</c><00:40:29.219><c> is</c><00:40:29.539><c> now</c><00:40:29.840><c> just</c><00:40:30.280><c> experiencing</c><00:40:30.920><c> this.</c>

00:40:32.099 --> 00:40:34.880
This<00:40:32.260><c> is</c><00:40:32.519><c> contrasted</c><00:40:33.079><c> to</c><00:40:33.300><c> Elijah</c><00:40:33.780><c> before.</c>

00:40:34.900 --> 00:40:37.800
The<00:40:35.059><c> man</c><00:40:35.239><c> who</c><00:40:35.539><c> chose</c><00:40:35.860><c> to</c><00:40:36.159><c> live</c><00:40:36.260><c> in</c><00:40:36.519><c> isolation</c><00:40:37.019><c> in</c><00:40:37.219><c> the</c><00:40:37.360><c> wilderness</c>

00:40:37.800 --> 00:40:42.059
but<00:40:38.539><c> not</c><00:40:38.780><c> connected</c><00:40:39.239><c> or</c><00:40:39.619><c> cared</c><00:40:39.940><c> for</c><00:40:40.239><c> anyone</c><00:40:40.480><c> in</c><00:40:40.699><c> a</c><00:40:40.840><c> long</c><00:40:41.099><c> time.</c>

00:40:42.199 --> 00:40:43.980
But<00:40:42.360><c> God</c><00:40:42.500><c> has</c><00:40:42.860><c> brought</c><00:40:43.059><c> these</c><00:40:43.340><c> events</c><00:40:43.639><c> about.</c>

00:40:43.980 --> 00:40:47.159
He's<00:40:44.420><c> orchestrated</c><00:40:45.000><c> it</c><00:40:45.159><c> to</c><00:40:45.500><c> force</c><00:40:45.800><c> him</c><00:40:46.139><c> to</c><00:40:46.559><c> connect</c><00:40:46.940><c> with</c>

00:40:47.159 --> 00:40:48.380
this<00:40:47.440><c> family.</c>

00:40:48.599 --> 00:40:52.019
Now<00:40:48.940><c> suddenly</c><00:40:49.320><c> Elijah</c><00:40:49.820><c> appreciates</c><00:40:50.699><c> how</c><00:40:50.900><c> God</c><00:40:51.159><c> looks</c><00:40:51.400><c> on</c><00:40:51.639><c> people.</c>

00:40:52.480 --> 00:40:54.800
He<00:40:52.760><c> appreciates,</c><00:40:53.280><c> as</c><00:40:53.400><c> we</c><00:40:53.519><c> said</c><00:40:53.619><c> before,</c><00:40:53.980><c> that</c><00:40:54.260><c> individual</c>

00:40:54.800 --> 00:40:56.099
people<00:40:55.199><c> matter.</c>

00:40:56.519 --> 00:40:58.239
And<00:40:56.699><c> so</c><00:40:56.780><c> what</c><00:40:56.940><c> does</c><00:40:57.139><c> Elijah</c><00:40:57.480><c> do?</c>

00:40:58.340 --> 00:41:02.119
Verse<00:40:58.920><c> 21,</c><00:40:59.280><c> he</c><00:40:59.500><c> stretches</c><00:40:59.920><c> himself</c><00:41:00.400><c> upon</c><00:41:00.659><c> the</c><00:41:00.940><c> child</c><00:41:01.179><c> three</c><00:41:01.599><c> times</c>

00:41:02.119 --> 00:41:04.039
and<00:41:02.599><c> cries</c><00:41:03.059><c> unto</c><00:41:03.400><c> Yahweh</c><00:41:03.780><c> and</c><00:41:03.840><c> says,</c>

00:41:04.159 --> 00:41:05.840
Yahweh,<00:41:04.440><c> my</c><00:41:04.659><c> God,</c><00:41:05.000><c> I</c><00:41:05.260><c> pray</c><00:41:05.480><c> thee,</c>

00:41:05.980 --> 00:41:08.880
let<00:41:06.260><c> this</c><00:41:06.559><c> child's</c><00:41:07.199><c> soul</c><00:41:07.260><c> come</c><00:41:07.500><c> back</c><00:41:07.699><c> into</c><00:41:07.980><c> again.</c>

00:41:09.420 --> 00:41:13.159
This<00:41:09.639><c> just</c><00:41:10.019><c> shows</c><00:41:10.340><c> Elijah's,</c><00:41:11.440><c> the</c><00:41:11.780><c> amount</c><00:41:12.119><c> of</c><00:41:12.500><c> faith</c><00:41:12.780><c> that</c><00:41:13.000><c> he</c>

00:41:14.539 --> 00:41:16.699
You<00:41:14.780><c> may</c><00:41:15.019><c> know,</c><00:41:15.199><c> but</c><00:41:15.280><c> this</c><00:41:15.480><c> is</c><00:41:15.760><c> the</c><00:41:15.900><c> first</c><00:41:16.260><c> time</c>

00:41:16.699 --> 00:41:18.960
someone<00:41:16.960><c> is</c><00:41:17.300><c> resurrected</c><00:41:17.719><c> in</c><00:41:17.940><c> the</c><00:41:18.059><c> Bible.</c>

00:41:20.300 --> 00:41:23.880
Elijah<00:41:20.780><c> has</c><00:41:20.960><c> this</c><00:41:21.179><c> amazing</c><00:41:21.739><c> faith</c><00:41:22.079><c> to</c><00:41:22.260><c> even</c><00:41:22.559><c> ask</c><00:41:22.960><c> God</c><00:41:23.139><c> to</c><00:41:23.360><c> do</c><00:41:23.480><c> this.</c>

00:41:24.179 --> 00:41:26.980
He's<00:41:24.500><c> fully</c><00:41:24.800><c> prepared</c><00:41:25.179><c> to</c><00:41:25.360><c> pray</c><00:41:25.619><c> for</c><00:41:25.800><c> the</c><00:41:25.960><c> impossible.</c>

00:41:27.739 --> 00:41:29.139
He<00:41:27.920><c> doesn't</c><00:41:28.139><c> know</c><00:41:28.340><c> that</c><00:41:28.460><c> this</c><00:41:28.639><c> is</c><00:41:28.860><c> possible.</c>

00:41:29.199 --> 00:41:31.179
No<00:41:29.320><c> one's</c><00:41:29.420><c> ever</c><00:41:29.659><c> done</c><00:41:29.840><c> this</c><00:41:30.139><c> before.</c>

00:41:31.219 --> 00:41:33.519
There's<00:41:31.420><c> no</c><00:41:31.619><c> indication</c><00:41:32.139><c> that</c><00:41:32.340><c> God</c><00:41:32.539><c> could</c><00:41:32.880><c> raise</c><00:41:33.119><c> up</c><00:41:33.320><c> from</c>

00:41:33.519 --> 00:41:33.739
the<00:41:33.659><c> dead</c>

00:41:33.739 --> 00:41:34.900
or<00:41:33.800><c> God</c><00:41:34.019><c> would</c><00:41:34.260><c> do</c><00:41:34.500><c> it.</c>

00:41:35.019 --> 00:41:36.780
That<00:41:35.179><c> doesn't</c><00:41:35.519><c> stop</c><00:41:35.820><c> Elijah.</c>

00:41:36.880 --> 00:41:38.860
That's<00:41:37.199><c> why</c><00:41:37.480><c> he's</c><00:41:37.760><c> such</c><00:41:37.860><c> an</c><00:41:38.179><c> amazing</c><00:41:38.639><c> man,</c>

00:41:38.940 --> 00:41:41.300
the<00:41:39.179><c> faith</c><00:41:39.460><c> that</c><00:41:39.639><c> he</c><00:41:39.739><c> has</c><00:41:39.960><c> in</c><00:41:40.199><c> God</c><00:41:40.440><c> and</c><00:41:40.599><c> in</c><00:41:40.940><c> prayer.</c>

00:41:41.480 --> 00:41:43.360
He's<00:41:41.900><c> prepared</c><00:41:42.219><c> to</c><00:41:42.400><c> do</c><00:41:42.619><c> this.</c>

00:41:44.099 --> 00:41:47.079
And<00:41:44.619><c> Elijah</c><00:41:44.940><c> at</c><00:41:45.099><c> this</c><00:41:45.300><c> point</c><00:41:45.539><c> now</c><00:41:45.820><c> has</c><00:41:46.019><c> learned</c><00:41:46.260><c> what</c><00:41:46.519><c> it</c><00:41:46.780><c> means</c>

00:41:47.079 --> 00:41:51.980
to<00:41:47.400><c> want</c><00:41:47.699><c> to</c><00:41:48.019><c> save</c><00:41:48.300><c> people,</c><00:41:49.320><c> to</c><00:41:49.579><c> care</c><00:41:49.860><c> for</c><00:41:50.079><c> them,</c><00:41:50.559><c> to</c><00:41:50.800><c> empathize</c><00:41:51.460><c> with</c><00:41:51.639><c> them.</c>

00:41:52.400 --> 00:41:54.280
As<00:41:52.559><c> I</c><00:41:52.679><c> said,</c><00:41:52.800><c> for</c><00:41:52.980><c> so</c><00:41:53.280><c> long,</c><00:41:53.420><c> he's</c><00:41:53.539><c> been</c><00:41:53.760><c> alone.</c>

00:41:54.519 --> 00:41:57.119
He's<00:41:54.699><c> been</c><00:41:54.920><c> angrily</c><00:41:55.360><c> with</c><00:41:55.539><c> the</c><00:41:55.679><c> nation</c><00:41:55.980><c> for</c><00:41:56.139><c> their</c><00:41:56.500><c> idolatry.</c>

00:41:57.360 --> 00:41:59.559
He's<00:41:57.579><c> wanted</c><00:41:57.679><c> to</c><00:41:57.900><c> bring</c><00:41:58.039><c> pain</c><00:41:58.420><c> and</c><00:41:58.760><c> suffering</c><00:41:59.059><c> on</c><00:41:59.340><c> them.</c>

00:41:59.980 --> 00:42:01.840
But<00:42:00.260><c> now</c><00:42:00.699><c> it's</c><00:42:01.000><c> the</c><00:42:01.219><c> complete</c><00:42:01.400><c> opposite.</c>

00:42:02.280 --> 00:42:03.900
He's<00:42:02.800><c> desperate</c><00:42:03.239><c> to</c><00:42:03.539><c> save.</c>

00:42:04.360 --> 00:42:05.880
He<00:42:04.880><c> doesn't</c><00:42:05.119><c> know</c><00:42:05.320><c> what</c><00:42:05.559><c> to</c><00:42:05.739><c> do.</c>

00:42:05.900 --> 00:42:07.619
And<00:42:05.980><c> so</c><00:42:06.059><c> he's</c><00:42:06.159><c> going</c><00:42:06.300><c> to</c><00:42:06.460><c> ask</c><00:42:06.579><c> God</c><00:42:06.739><c> to</c><00:42:06.880><c> do</c><00:42:06.940><c> the</c><00:42:07.159><c> impossible</c>

00:42:07.619 --> 00:42:09.179
for<00:42:07.820><c> this</c><00:42:07.980><c> small</c><00:42:08.239><c> child.</c>

00:42:09.260 --> 00:42:13.260
This<00:42:09.519><c> rugged,</c><00:42:10.280><c> big,</c><00:42:11.019><c> hairy</c><00:42:11.139><c> man</c><00:42:11.780><c> lays</c><00:42:12.340><c> himself</c><00:42:12.780><c> gently</c>

00:42:13.260 --> 00:42:16.699
on<00:42:13.440><c> this</c><00:42:13.639><c> child,</c><00:42:15.019><c> trying</c><00:42:15.260><c> to</c><00:42:15.480><c> connect</c><00:42:15.760><c> with</c><00:42:15.980><c> him.</c>

00:42:17.099 --> 00:42:18.940
Stretch<00:42:17.539><c> means</c><00:42:17.880><c> to</c><00:42:18.260><c> measure</c><00:42:18.599><c> out.</c>

00:42:19.059 --> 00:42:21.519
It's<00:42:19.199><c> exactly</c><00:42:19.500><c> the</c><00:42:19.679><c> same</c><00:42:19.860><c> word</c><00:42:20.039><c> that</c><00:42:20.300><c> is</c><00:42:20.559><c> used</c><00:42:20.780><c> of</c><00:42:21.059><c> Elijah</c>

00:42:21.519 --> 00:42:23.179
when<00:42:22.039><c> he</c><00:42:22.400><c> raises</c><00:42:22.699><c> up</c><00:42:22.920><c> his</c><00:42:23.079><c> son.</c>

00:42:23.239 --> 00:42:24.440
And<00:42:23.300><c> I</c><00:42:23.500><c> believe</c><00:42:23.659><c> he</c><00:42:23.820><c> would</c><00:42:23.940><c> have</c><00:42:24.099><c> copied</c><00:42:24.320><c> him.</c>

00:42:24.519 --> 00:42:27.059
I<00:42:24.519><c> think</c><00:42:24.800><c> this</c><00:42:25.039><c> is</c><00:42:25.280><c> exactly</c><00:42:25.659><c> what</c><00:42:26.699><c> he</c><00:42:26.880><c> did.</c>

00:42:27.079 --> 00:42:29.639
Let's<00:42:27.239><c> look</c><00:42:27.420><c> at</c><00:42:27.500><c> what</c><00:42:27.739><c> happens</c><00:42:27.940><c> here</c><00:42:28.119><c> with</c><00:42:28.300><c> Elijah.</c>

00:42:29.679 --> 00:42:30.960
Elijah,<00:42:29.800><c> when</c><00:42:29.940><c> he's</c><00:42:30.199><c> come</c><00:42:30.340><c> into</c><00:42:30.519><c> the</c><00:42:30.800><c> house,</c>

00:42:31.000 --> 00:42:32.559
he<00:42:31.179><c> laid</c><00:42:31.380><c> him</c><00:42:31.500><c> on</c><00:42:31.659><c> the</c><00:42:31.820><c> bed.</c>

00:42:32.599 --> 00:42:34.179
He<00:42:32.659><c> went</c><00:42:32.880><c> in</c><00:42:33.059><c> there</c><00:42:33.159><c> and</c><00:42:33.400><c> shut</c><00:42:33.659><c> the</c><00:42:33.920><c> door.</c>

00:42:34.380 --> 00:42:35.699
He<00:42:34.579><c> prayed</c><00:42:34.760><c> unto</c><00:42:35.019><c> God.</c>

00:42:36.039 --> 00:42:38.280
Verse<00:42:36.059><c> four,</c><00:42:36.340><c> he</c><00:42:36.360><c> went</c><00:42:36.619><c> up</c><00:42:36.820><c> and</c><00:42:36.960><c> he</c><00:42:37.219><c> lay</c><00:42:37.380><c> upon</c><00:42:37.639><c> the</c><00:42:37.920><c> child.</c>

00:42:38.699 --> 00:42:41.559
He<00:42:38.760><c> put</c><00:42:38.880><c> his</c><00:42:39.159><c> mouth</c><00:42:39.440><c> upon</c><00:42:39.679><c> his</c><00:42:39.920><c> mouth,</c><00:42:40.280><c> his</c><00:42:40.559><c> eyes</c><00:42:40.900><c> upon</c><00:42:41.179><c> his</c><00:42:41.400><c> eyes,</c>

00:42:41.559 --> 00:42:43.219
his<00:42:42.119><c> hands</c><00:42:42.460><c> on</c><00:42:42.619><c> his</c><00:42:42.900><c> hands.</c>

00:42:43.519 --> 00:42:45.659
He<00:42:43.960><c> stretched</c><00:42:44.260><c> himself</c><00:42:44.659><c> upon</c><00:42:45.039><c> that</c><00:42:45.320><c> child.</c>

00:42:46.099 --> 00:42:47.380
He<00:42:46.199><c> only</c><00:42:46.380><c> wanted</c><00:42:46.559><c> that</c><00:42:46.739><c> it</c><00:42:46.900><c> would</c><00:42:46.980><c> have</c><00:42:47.079><c> done</c><00:42:47.239><c> this</c>

00:42:47.380 --> 00:42:49.880
because<00:42:47.619><c> Elijah</c><00:42:48.039><c> told</c><00:42:48.300><c> him,</c><00:42:48.480><c> well,</c><00:42:48.519><c> this</c><00:42:48.679><c> is</c><00:42:48.800><c> what</c><00:42:48.940><c> I</c><00:42:49.159><c> did.</c>

00:42:50.000 --> 00:42:52.239
And<00:42:50.139><c> you</c><00:42:50.280><c> could</c><00:42:50.440><c> not</c><00:42:50.559><c> get</c><00:42:50.699><c> a</c><00:42:50.860><c> more</c><00:42:51.159><c> intimate</c><00:42:51.659><c> connection</c>

with<00:42:52.440><c> this</c><00:42:52.739><c> boy,</c><00:42:53.059><c> could</c><00:42:53.199><c> you?</c>

00:42:55.199 --> 00:42:58.920
Elijah<00:42:55.639><c> identifies,</c><00:42:56.239><c> he</c><00:42:56.440><c> connects</c><00:42:56.739><c> in</c><00:42:57.119><c> every</c><00:42:57.460><c> way</c><00:42:57.659><c> with</c><00:42:57.860><c> this</c><00:42:58.139><c> boy.</c>

00:42:59.119 --> 00:43:01.739
Maybe<00:42:59.340><c> he's</c><00:42:59.719><c> drawing</c><00:42:59.960><c> from</c><00:43:00.239><c> Genesis</c><00:43:00.619><c> of</c><00:43:00.820><c> the</c><00:43:01.039><c> breath</c><00:43:01.199><c> of</c><00:43:01.519><c> life</c>

in<00:43:01.940><c> there</c><00:43:02.079><c> potentially,</c><00:43:02.639><c> but</c><00:43:03.079><c> he's</c><00:43:03.460><c> one</c><00:43:03.639><c> with</c><00:43:03.900><c> this</c><00:43:04.159><c> child.</c>

00:43:04.860 --> 00:43:06.440
And<00:43:05.079><c> he</c><00:43:05.280><c> prays</c><00:43:05.539><c> once,</c><00:43:06.079><c> nothing.</c>

00:43:06.739 --> 00:43:08.039
Prays<00:43:07.179><c> twice,</c><00:43:07.619><c> nothing.</c>

00:43:08.539 --> 00:43:09.840
This<00:43:08.760><c> is</c><00:43:08.920><c> the</c><00:43:09.139><c> faith</c><00:43:09.340><c> of</c><00:43:09.539><c> this</c><00:43:09.719><c> man.</c>

00:43:09.840 --> 00:43:11.599
He<00:43:10.039><c> continues</c><00:43:10.619><c> to</c><00:43:10.980><c> pray.</c>

00:43:11.980 --> 00:43:14.340
And<00:43:12.079><c> in</c><00:43:12.219><c> verse</c><00:43:12.400><c> 22,</c><00:43:12.980><c> what</c><00:43:13.239><c> happens?</c>

00:43:14.679 --> 00:43:17.679
And<00:43:14.900><c> Yahweh</c><00:43:15.280><c> heard</c><00:43:15.619><c> the</c><00:43:15.920><c> voice</c><00:43:16.440><c> of</c><00:43:16.760><c> Elijah</c>

00:43:25.159 --> 00:43:28.000
God<00:43:25.519><c> heard</c><00:43:25.920><c> the</c><00:43:26.340><c> still</c><00:43:26.579><c> small</c><00:43:27.000><c> voice</c><00:43:27.340><c> of</c><00:43:27.579><c> Elijah.</c>

00:43:28.500 --> 00:43:32.340
He<00:43:28.739><c> saw</c><00:43:29.039><c> Elijah</c><00:43:29.659><c> identifying</c><00:43:30.719><c> with</c><00:43:31.000><c> an</c><00:43:31.280><c> individual,</c>

00:43:40.900 --> 00:43:42.860
