Notes and Scripture from Services (NKJV):
1 King
17:1 - 15
Elijah Proclaims a Drought
17 And Elijah the Tishbite, of the inhabitants of
Gilead, said to Ahab, “As the Lord God of Israel lives, before whom I stand,
there shall not be dew nor rain these years, except at my word.”
2 Then the word of the Lord came to him, saying, 3 “Get
away from here and turn eastward, and hide by the Brook Cherith, which flows
into the Jordan.
4 And it will be that you shall drink from the brook, and I have commanded
the ravens to feed you there.”
5 So he went and did according to the word of the Lord,
for he went and stayed by the Brook Cherith, which flows into the Jordan. 6 The
ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning, and bread and meat in the
evening; and he drank from the brook. 7 And it happened after a while that
the brook dried up, because there had been no rain in the land.
Elijah and the Widow
8 Then the word of the Lord came to him, saying, 9 “Arise,
go to Zarephath, which belongs to Sidon,
and dwell there. See, I have commanded a widow there to provide for you.” 10 So
he arose and went to Zarephath. And when he came to the gate of the city,
indeed a widow was there gathering sticks. And he called to her and said,
“Please bring me a little water in a cup, that I may drink.” 11 And as she
was going to get it, he called to her and said, “Please bring me a morsel of
bread in your hand.”
12 So she said, “As the Lord your God lives, I do not
have bread, only a handful of flour in a bin, and a little oil in a jar; and
see, I am gathering a couple of sticks that I may go in and prepare it for
myself and my son, that we may eat it, and die.”
13 And Elijah said to her, “Do not fear; go and do as
you have said, but make me a small cake from it first, and bring it to me; and
afterward make some for yourself and your son. 14 For thus says the Lord
God of Israel: ‘The bin of flour shall not be used up, nor shall the jar of oil
run dry, until the day the Lord sends rain on the earth.’”
15 So she went away and did according to the word of Elijah;
and she and he and her household ate for many days.
Pray the answer not the problem.

How do you know if you are growing spiritually?
1. Do you realize you have weakness in areas?
2. Quick to repent when confronted, is there a change?
3. Do I like to hang with the kind of people to help me to grow?
do they strengthen me or weaken me?
4. are my battles getting bigger? Do I still have joy?
5. Do I see problems and grow or do I avoid it?
6. Do I see service in the church as service or a privilege?
7. Do I want to give more than I do?

9. A lot of Christians are moving but not changing.
