41 And Elijah said to Ahab, “GO, eat and drink (Celebrate), FOR THERE IS THE SOUND OF A HEAVY RAIN.” 1 Kings 18

41 And Elijah said to Ahab, “GO, eat and drink (Celebrate), FOR THERE IS THE SOUND OF A HEAVY RAIN.” 1 Kings 18

The short Word ‘Go’ occurs five times in 1 Kings 18, always in connection with what God is doing and how the people should respond.

18 After a long time, in the third year, the word of the Lord came to Elijah: “GO and present yourself to Ahab, and I will send rain on the land.” 1 Kings 18

The first GO is God’s command to the prophet to present himself to Ahab, the rebellious king of Israel. God was picking a fight with the wicked, one man standing against 850 prophets of false gods.

41 And Elijah said to Ahab, “GO, eat and drink, for there is the sound of a HEAVY rain.”

Immediately after the slaying of the wicked prophets, God told Ahab and the people to CELEBRATE, I believe we will see such Celebrations in our day.

WHEN THE RIGHTEOUS THRIVE, THE PEOPLE REJOICE;

    when the wicked rule, the people groan (China/Iran). Proverbs 29:2

The word HEAVY (Rain) in Strong’s Concordance also has the connotation of WEALTH. We have heard of the GREAT WEALTH TRANSFER FOR THE END TIME HARVEST. Personally I am longing for it.

42 So Ahab went off to eat and drink, but Elijah climbed to the top of Carmel, bent down to the ground and put his face between his knees.

The prophet is often out of step with those around them, while the King and people were celebrating Elijah was on his knees before God, interceding for the nation.

43 “GO and look toward the sea,” he told his servant. And he went up and looked. 1 Kings 18

Elijah sent the servant to look towards the sea, not the land where the people were living. He didn’t break off praying, just kept telling the servant to Go back and look for a sign the drought was breaking.

Seven times Elijah said, “GO BACK.” 1 Kings 18

Then the sign appeared, a tiny cloud RISING! There are sins today that God is moving on behalf of His children, even if we have to go back seven times to see them appear.

44 The seventh time the servant reported, “A cloud as small as a man’s hand is rising from the sea.”

So Elijah said, “GO AND TELL AHAB, ‘Hitch up your chariot and GO DOWN BEFORE THE RAIN STOPS YOU.’”

Once again God spoke to the leader of the people and warned Ahab to leave the mountain because the outpouring was going to be so HEAVY. God is the God of the miraculous, including a prophet outrunning a chariot and horses, supernaturally strengthened for the blessing that lay ahead.

May God bless and keep you today.
