What Are You Doing Here?
By Mark Flippo
1 Kings 19
9-When he got there, he crawled into a cave and went to sleep. Then the word of God came to him: "So Elijah, what are you doing here?" 10-"I've been working my heart out for the God-of-the-Angel-Armies," said Elijah. "The people of Israel have abandoned your covenant, destroyed the places of worship, and murdered your prophets. I'm the only one left, and now they're trying to kill me." 15-God said, "Go back the way you came through the desert to Damascus. When you get there anoint Hazael; make him king over Aram. 16-Then anoint Jehu son of Nimshi; make him king over Israel. Finally, anoint Elisha son of Shaphat from Abel Meholah to succeed you as prophet. 17-Anyone who escapes death by Hazael will be killed by Jehu; and anyone who escapes death by Jehu will be killed by Elisha. 18-Meanwhile, I'm preserving for myself seven thousand souls: the knees that haven't bowed to the god Baal, the mouths that haven't kissed his image."
This punishment came to Israel because of their kneeling to Baal. God will not mess around with you giving your time to a false God. You should be focused on our Jesus! He sent three different men out with the authority to kill all who kneeled to Baal. Here is the number three again. It means it is extremely important! God lets us know what He is not pleased with. How many things have you heard preached about to stop doing those things? If your pastor is not trying his best to help you understand the sins you get involved in, then maybe you need to go somewhere else where the man or woman of God really watches out for your soul! When judgement comes, which side will you be on?
