I had a deep understanding of the scriptures found in 1 Kings 2:30-38. In this passage, God sought to mock Baal worshippers with His immense power. He instructed Elijah with detailed and specific instructions to demonstrate His divine authority. As part of this preparation, Elijah poured water over the sacrifice, soaking it thoroughly. This was done to confirm that when God responded to the offering, He clearly showed that He was a consuming fire and could bring miraculous transformation even in the most impossible situations.

Sometimes, God permits someone to douse our offering with water, testing our faith and resolve. In doing so, He creates an opportunity to reveal His power, answering with a divine fire that consumes everything in its path. I assure you that when He answers your impossible situation, it will bring you to your knees!

“By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name. But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.” (Hebrews 13:15-16 KJV)

The enemy is going to creep into your thoughts with insidious whispers, taunting you with statements like, “Why would God ever hear your praise? He has more important matters to attend to; clearly, you are not one of them. You think He listens to you, but the reality is, you’re just being ignored!” In these moments of despair, we must remind ourselves that this deceiver is the father of lies, the god of this world. His role is to cast shadows of doubt and confusion; he thrives on planting seeds of mistrust. Remember, he cannot possibly speak the truth, for his very nature is rooted in deception and manipulation! Stay vigilant against his falsehoods.

God descends with significant presence as you worship, igniting a flame that rekindles what has been dampened and lost. Hold on steadfastly to this promise, for He will become a fierce and renewing fire, reviving our weary bones and filling our spirits with warmth and strength!
