(05/15/2001) first the spiritual


Hello prayer warriors, 1. Prayer note: first the spiritual [1 Kings 18:42-45] 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 upon the earth, and put his face between his knees, 43 And said to his servant, Go up now, look toward the sea. And he went up, and looked, and said, There is nothing. And he said, Go again seven times. 44 And it came to pass at the seventh time, that he said, Behold, there ariseth a little cloud out of the sea, like a man's hand. And he said, Go up, say unto Ahab, Prepare thy chariot, and get thee down that the rain stop thee not. 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. We talked about dominion and that one of the main reasons we should pray is to exercise the dominion that God has given us. We are also to recognize that it is up to us to allow and disallow things in our lives. The next part is this, that we are to recognize that things may happen in the spiritual but manifested in the natural later. In fact, the spiritual moves the natural. When Elijah prayed, he heard the sound of abundance rain IN THE SPIRIT. There was no rain and no sign of rain. The sky was clear but something has already happened in the spiritual. You would have thought that he would stop after hearing the rain. He didn't. In fact, he cast himself down upon the earth, and put his face between his knees, which is the position of natural labour in those times. He was travailing in prayer as if he was a woman in labour. If we know God's promises and we know our rights, we are to pray through until we see the promise manifested in the natural. We are to travail and to press on. Elijah asked his servant to go to the sea and look for the rain seven times. Not one time or two times but seven times because seven represents the symbol of perfection. So, should we give up before we see God's promises fulfilled in our lives and manifested in the natural? No, we are never to give up but to press on until we see God's promises manifested in the natural. We need to recognize that when we press on in the spiritual, when we believe and press on in prayer, the natural will follow through. Exercising dominion means not giving up until you see the fulfillment of God's promises in your life. 2. New prayer requests: i.
