Summary: In a season of depression the man of God finds a cave on the mountain side. In his hurt and pain he searches for a touch of God. God was not in the wind, not in the earthquake, not in the fire. Elijah found God in a still small voice.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

WELL. I’M TIRED AND SO WEARY, BUT I MUST GO ALONG; TILL THE LORD COMES AND CALLS ME AWAY,

WELL THE MORNING IS SO BRIGHT, AND THE LAMB IS THE LIGHT, AND THE NIGHT, THE NIGHT IS AS FAIR AS THE DAY.

THERE WILL BE PEACE IN THE VALLEY FOR ME, SOME DAY. THERE WILL BE PEACE IN THE VALLEY, O LORD I PRAY.

THERE BE NO MORE SADNESS, NO MORE SORROW, NO MORE TROUBLE I PRAY, THERE WILL BE PEACE IN THE VALLEY FOR ME.

WELL, THE BEAR WILL BE GENTLE, AND THE WOLFE WILL BE TAME, AND THE LION SSHALL LAY DOWN BY THE LAMB,

WELL THE BEAST OF THE WILD, SHALL BE LEAD BY THE CHILD, AND I WILL BE CHANGED, CHANGED FROM THE CREATURE THAT I AM.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE? THE MANTLE! BURNED OUT? BURNED UP? BROKEN AND SPILLED OUT…

Philippians 4:5 Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand. 6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

We need to help others see that the Master is about to arrive. He could show up any minute! Why? Why should we be anxious, worried and fear driven? Don't fret or worry. Instead of worrying, we can pray, worship and praise. Let us demonstrate love, compassion and mercy. We trust Jesus is coming soon.

THERE GROWS A TIRED ATTITUDE AND SPIRIT WITHIN THE HEARTS OF PEOPLE. SEEMS THE WORLD SYSTEM, AS WE HAVE KNOWN IT IS BROKEN? WHO DOMINATES THE WORLD MARKETS? INTERNAL VS EXTERNAL?

Recent Doug Clay article: 42 % pastors tired and weary.

Gradually, the trusted systems of this world are being crushed by radicalism and no balance of moderation. The USA is being destroyed from within. Our President and the leaders in power want to drive the USA to be a clean, green nation. He desires to target by 2030 that at least 60% of vehicle sales to be battery/electric, 67 % by 2032. At a recent inquiry the question was asked: CAN THE WORLD MAKE ELECTRIC CARS WITHOUT ALMOST 100% DEPENDENCY ON CHINA?

China is the winner in converting to battery powered vehicles. China is dominant in every aspect of electric vehicle battery technology. WORLD WIDE, 54% OF THE GLOBAL ELECTRIC VEHICLES ARE MADE IN CHINA. 77% control.

73% of the cobalt is refined and mined in China. 77% of the cathodes (positive electrode) for fast charging lithium batteries are made in China. 92% of the anodes uses graphite for batteries are made in China. 66% of the cells for batteries for all cars worldwide are made in China.

Mining is setting a record pace around the world. China, Indonesia and India are the top producing mines in the world. China is the leading global mine production in the world. Mining is considered dangerous in the USA. Environmental regulations, decline of railways and governmental red tape has killed mining in the US. Recently in the USA the TWIN MINE in Minnesota was closed. It was a huge 225,000 acre area. Kentucky suffers greatly as coal mining has been closed. There is no way anyone is going to be successful in electric vehicles without the cooperation of China.

THE COLD WAR: MAY 1963: NIKITA KHRUSHCHEV: We will take America without firing a shot. We will bury you. We do not have to invade the United States, we will destroy you from within. CAPITALISM will yield way to SOCIALISM. We can see and sound the ALARM, life as we have known it in the USA IS SLOWLY ERODING.

DO ALL YOU CAN! WHERE YOU CAN! WHEN YOU CAN! BEWARE OF DISTORTED VISION, FRUSTRATION AND DISCOURAGEMENT. LOOK AT SOME GREAT PEOPLE OF GOD AND HOW IT SEEMED THAT AFTER THEY DID THEIR BEST DEFEAT LOOMED.

Ephesians 6:13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;

Ephesians 6:13 (NLT2) Therefore, put on every piece of God’s armor so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil. Then after the battle you will still be standing firm. 14 Stand your ground, putting on the belt of truth and the body armor of God’s righteousness.

THE MANTLE OF GOD? LET US SPELL VICTORY! V-I-C-T-O-R-Y! VICTORY! LET US REASON HOW A MIGHTY MAN OF GOD DID MANY MIGHTY DEEDS IN A THE EVIL NATION OF ISRAEL.

ELIJAH MEETS WITH AHAB AND SENDS HIS SERVANT 7 TIMES TO THE TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN. BY FAITH on the 7th TRIP ALL THAT WAS SEEN WAS A CLOUD THE SIZE OF A MAN’S HAND. King Ahab you better start running, by faith I hear the sound of the abundance of rain.

ELIJAH JUST APPEARS OUT OF NO WHERE. GOD BRINGS A MAN WITH A MESSAGE OF HOPE AND REDEMPTION. Elijah was called to a prophetic ministry. The Preacher boldly stood and faced an evil King Ahab and very evil Queen Jezebel. Elijah by faith declared the judgment of God was coming and there would be a terrible drought to bring judgment and punishment for bowing down to false gods. (BAAL)

GOD USED ELIJAH TO DECLARE AND STOP THE RAIN THEN TO RELEASE THE RAIN. MY FRIEND CLIMB THE MOUNTAIN AND LOOK TOWARD THE SEA. ELIJAH RUNS 18 MILES AND BEATS THE KING’S CHARIOT HOME.

1 Kings 18:41 And Elijah said unto Ahab, Get thee up, eat and drink; for there is a sound of abundance of rain.

42 So Ahab went up to eat and to drink. And Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; and he cast himself down

1 Kings 18: 45 And it came to pass in the mean while, that the heaven was black with clouds and wind, and there was a great rain. And Ahab rode, and went to Jezreel. 46 And the hand of the LORD was on Elijah; and he girded up his loins, and ran before Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel.

ELIJAH FACES TERRIBLE ODDS 450 FALSE PROPHETS AND MANY GODS… POOR OLD ELIJAH STOOD ALL ALONE 1 MAN WITH 1 GOD.

Elijah drown the altar with 4 barrels of water, 3 times. There was many gallons of water poured on the wood. KJV Elijah prays 63 words. Baal’s prophets prayed millions of words, NOTHING!STHE MANTLE! ELIJAH SPLITS THE SWOLLEN FLOODED JORDAN AND WALKS ACROSS ON DRY LAND.

VICTORY! VICTORY! ELIJAH FEELS DESPISED, DEFEATED AND REJECTED. THE MIDST OF GREATEST FEATS, ELIJAH’S VICTORIES HIS MOOD, EMOTIONS AND FAITH GREW TIRED AND SEEMINGLY HE WAS DEFEATED. GOD’S MEN CAN FACE DEPRESSION, DOOM AND GLOOM.

ELIJAH IS RUNNING FOR HIS LIFE, QUEEN JEZEBEL PROMISED TO KILL HIM AND THEN HE TURNS AN ASKS GOD PLEASE, KILL ME.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE? ELIJAH HAS A PERSONAL ENCOUNTER WITH GOD ON MOUNT SINIA. WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE ELIJAH? THE MANTLE… JEZEBEL PROMISED BY THIS TIME TOMORROW YOU WILL BE DEAD MEAT.

1 Kings 19:4 But he himself went a day's journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a juniper tree: and he requested for himself that he might die; and said, It is enough; now, O LORD, take away my life; for I am not better than my fathers.

AFTER RUNNING FOR HIS LIFE, THE HOLY SPIRIT LED ELIJAH TO A SAFE PLACE TO BE RESTED AND RESTORED.

1 Kings 19:5 And as he lay and slept under a juniper tree, behold, then an angel touched him, and said unto him, Arise and eat.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE? SURE, YOU ARE TIRED? SURE THERE HAS BEEN NO APPLAUSE? IT SHALL BE WELL.

1 Kings 19:9 And he came thither unto a cave, and lodged there; and, behold, the word of the LORD came to him, and he said unto him, What doest thou here, Elijah?

WHEN THE PREACHER IS AN EMOTIONAL BASKET-CASE AND HE DOUBTS THE MANTLE HE HAS A PITY PARTY, I AM THE ONLY ONE LEFT SERVING GOD?

1 Kings 19:10 And he said, I have been very jealous for the LORD God of hosts: for the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.

1 Kings 19:13 And it was so, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle, and went out, and stood in the entering in of the cave. And, behold, there came a voice unto him, and said, What doest thou here, Elijah?

WHILE ON THE MOUNTAIN GOD SENDS A WIND… EARTHQUAKE… FIRE… GOD COMES IN A STILL SMALL VOICE TO ASSURE ELIJAH.

1 Kings 19:11 And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the LORD. And, behold, the LORD passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before the LORD; but the LORD was not in the

wind: and after the wind an earthquake; but the LORD was not in the earthquake: 12 And after the earthquake a fire; but the LORD was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice.

ELIJAH ‘S VICTORY: GILGAL (ROLLING STONE), TO BETEL (HOUSE OF PRAYER), JERICHO (PRAISE), TO THE JORDAN (DEATH OF SELF) HE TAKES THE MANTLE OF GOD, PASSES IT TO ELIJAH AND IS TAKEN TO HEAVEN IN A WHIRLWIND… GOD SENDS HIS PERSONAL CHARIOT TO BRING ELIJAH THE HOPE AND REDEMPTION.

FINAL VICTORY. MOUNT OF TRANSFIGURATION. ELIJAH APPEARS WITH MOSES IN JERUSALEM WITH JESUS.

Mark 9: 4 And there appeared unto them Elias with Moses: and they were talking with Jesus.

THE MANTLE IS PASSED ON TO ELISHA… WITH THE DOUBLE PORTION OF THE ANOINTING….

Conclusion: WHERE EVER THE PASSOVER IS CELEBRATED, THE JEWS SET UP AN EXTRA CUP OF WINE ON THE DINNER TABLE. AT A CERTAIN POINT ONE GOES TO THE DOOR AND OPENS THE DOOR TO WELCOME ELIJAH TO ENTER. ELIJAH’S WELCOME TO THE PASSOVER IS GIVING AN OPPORTUNITY TO INVITE AND WELCOME NEW HOPE AND GREAT REDEMPTION. WE MUST WELCOME THE MANTLE OF GOD THROUGH IT ALL.
