Answering Nagging Questions 2 - Elijah's Fire that devoured the soldiers, was it from God or the devil?

who is elijah

Revelation 11:3-6

[3]And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.

[4]These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.

[5]And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.

[6]These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.

These two witnesses are Moses and Elijah. The New Testament explains the Old Testament. Here Apostle John is explaining to us the reason for the fire that devoured the soldiers: And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies. The intention of these soldiers was to hurt the man of God thus he defended himself by calling down fire.

Answering Nagging Questions 1 - Naomi's Statement was not inspired by the Spirit

Ruth 1:20-21

[20]And she said unto them, Call me not Naomi, call me Mara: for the Almighty hath dealt very bitterly with me.

[21]I went out full, and the LORD hath brought me home again empty: why then call ye me Naomi, seeing the LORD hath testified against me, and the Almighty hath afflicted me?

This scripture certainly shows the weakness of the old Testament. Under the old Covenant there was not much revelation of the activities of demons. Thus God was made responsible for nearly everything that happened, whether good or bad.

The Blessing of Obedience To Divine Instructions

Luke 5:4-7

[4]Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught.

[5]And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net.

[6]And when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net brake.

[7]And they beckoned unto their partners, which were in the other ship, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink.

The key thing here to the abundance Peter and his friends experienced is that they acted on the word of Jesus. The obedience was important. But it was what word was obeyed and acted upon that was the main thing. It’s the combination of the word of Jesus and obedience of Peter that brought the increase.

Learning To Discern Grace

How To Apply Spiritual Discernment In Business Spiritual Business Coach For Spiritual Entrepreneurs Spiritual Marketing Club

2 Kings 4:9 And she said unto her husband, Behold now, I perceive that this is an holy man of God, which passeth by us continually.

This scripture is about the story of the Prophet Elisha and the Shunamite woman. The Shunamite woman is from the tribe of Issachar of whom it was said “they had an understanding of the times and knew what Israel ought to do; and they were chief and their brethren were at their command” (1 Chronicles 12:32). No wonder this woman was able to discern that Elisha was a holy man of God. The word "perceive" could also mean discernment.

Ruth’s Principle of favour

favor 00484 700x400

Ruth 2:2 And Ruth the Moabitess said unto Naomi, Let me now go to the field, and glean ears of corn after him in whose sight I shall find grace. And she said unto her, Go, my daughter.

One time while meditating on the word, the Holy Spirit quickened the scripture above in my heart. Right there in that opening scripture, is a principle of favor that has the ability to shift you to another level of glory.

Ruth having come to Bethlehem with her mother–in–law Naomi, decided to go out into the field of harvest to glean ears of corn. There were several fields of harvest back at that time were servants were working.
