1 Kings 18:21…
"Go tell King AhabThat I'm right here…and
Bring the false prophets, too"
![Page 13: Embrace the Hill Elijah The Pre-run… You have to decide How you're gonna handle That hill… Hate it? Or embrace it?](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649ed85503460f94be6a4b/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Elijah came near to all the people and said, “How long will
you go limping between two different opinions? If the Lord is
God, follow him; but if Baal, then follow him…”
![Page 14: Embrace the Hill Elijah The Pre-run… You have to decide How you're gonna handle That hill… Hate it? Or embrace it?](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649ed85503460f94be6a4b/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Let two bulls be given to us, and let them choose one bull for themselves and cut it in pieces and lay it on the wood, but put no fire to it
![Page 15: Embrace the Hill Elijah The Pre-run… You have to decide How you're gonna handle That hill… Hate it? Or embrace it?](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649ed85503460f94be6a4b/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
And I will prepare the other bull and lay it on the wood and
put no fire to it
![Page 16: Embrace the Hill Elijah The Pre-run… You have to decide How you're gonna handle That hill… Hate it? Or embrace it?](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649ed85503460f94be6a4b/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
And you call upon the name of your god, and I will call upon the name of the Lord, and the God who answers by fire, he is God”
![Page 17: Embrace the Hill Elijah The Pre-run… You have to decide How you're gonna handle That hill… Hate it? Or embrace it?](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649ed85503460f94be6a4b/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
And all the people answered, “It is well spoken”
![Page 18: Embrace the Hill Elijah The Pre-run… You have to decide How you're gonna handle That hill… Hate it? Or embrace it?](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649ed85503460f94be6a4b/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Then Elijah said to the prophets of Baal, “Choose for yourselves one bull and prepare it first, for you are many, and call upon the name of your god, but put no fire to it”
![Page 19: Embrace the Hill Elijah The Pre-run… You have to decide How you're gonna handle That hill… Hate it? Or embrace it?](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649ed85503460f94be6a4b/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
And they took the bull that was given them, and they prepared it
and called upon the name of Baal from morning until noon,
saying, “O Baal, answer us!”
![Page 20: Embrace the Hill Elijah The Pre-run… You have to decide How you're gonna handle That hill… Hate it? Or embrace it?](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649ed85503460f94be6a4b/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
But there was no voice, and no one answered. And they limped around the altar that they had made
![Page 21: Embrace the Hill Elijah The Pre-run… You have to decide How you're gonna handle That hill… Hate it? Or embrace it?](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649ed85503460f94be6a4b/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
And at noon Elijah mocked them, saying, “Cry aloud, for he is a god. Either he is musing, or
he is relieving himself, or he is on a journey, or perhaps he is
asleep and must be awakened”
![Page 22: Embrace the Hill Elijah The Pre-run… You have to decide How you're gonna handle That hill… Hate it? Or embrace it?](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649ed85503460f94be6a4b/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
And they cried aloud and cut themselves after their custom with swords and lances, until the blood gushed out upon them
![Page 23: Embrace the Hill Elijah The Pre-run… You have to decide How you're gonna handle That hill… Hate it? Or embrace it?](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649ed85503460f94be6a4b/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Their god desires their bloodTo show devotion to him
Our God went to the crossBecause of his devotion to us
![Page 24: Embrace the Hill Elijah The Pre-run… You have to decide How you're gonna handle That hill… Hate it? Or embrace it?](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649ed85503460f94be6a4b/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
And as midday passed, they raved on until the time of the
offering of the oblation, but there was no voice. No one
answered; no one paid attention
![Page 25: Embrace the Hill Elijah The Pre-run… You have to decide How you're gonna handle That hill… Hate it? Or embrace it?](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649ed85503460f94be6a4b/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
![Page 26: Embrace the Hill Elijah The Pre-run… You have to decide How you're gonna handle That hill… Hate it? Or embrace it?](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649ed85503460f94be6a4b/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Then Elijah said to all the people, “Come near to me.” And all the people came near to him
![Page 27: Embrace the Hill Elijah The Pre-run… You have to decide How you're gonna handle That hill… Hate it? Or embrace it?](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649ed85503460f94be6a4b/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
And he repaired the altar of the Lord that had been
thrown down
![Page 28: Embrace the Hill Elijah The Pre-run… You have to decide How you're gonna handle That hill… Hate it? Or embrace it?](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649ed85503460f94be6a4b/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Elijah took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, to whom the word of the Lord came, saying, “Israel shall be your name”
![Page 29: Embrace the Hill Elijah The Pre-run… You have to decide How you're gonna handle That hill… Hate it? Or embrace it?](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649ed85503460f94be6a4b/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
…and with the stones he built an altar in the name of the Lord.
And he made a trench about the altar, as great as would contain
two seahs of seed(almost 15 liters)
![Page 30: Embrace the Hill Elijah The Pre-run… You have to decide How you're gonna handle That hill… Hate it? Or embrace it?](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649ed85503460f94be6a4b/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
And he put the wood in order and cut the bull in pieces and laid it on the wood. And he said, “Fill four jars with water and pour it on the burnt offering and on the wood”
![Page 31: Embrace the Hill Elijah The Pre-run… You have to decide How you're gonna handle That hill… Hate it? Or embrace it?](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649ed85503460f94be6a4b/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
And he said, “Do it a second time.” And they did it a second
time. And he said, “Do it a third time.” And they did it a
third time
![Page 32: Embrace the Hill Elijah The Pre-run… You have to decide How you're gonna handle That hill… Hate it? Or embrace it?](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649ed85503460f94be6a4b/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
And the water ran around the altar and filled the trench also with water
![Page 33: Embrace the Hill Elijah The Pre-run… You have to decide How you're gonna handle That hill… Hate it? Or embrace it?](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649ed85503460f94be6a4b/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
And at the time of the offering of the oblation, Elijah the
prophet came near and said, “O Lord, God of Abraham, Isaac,
and Israel…
![Page 34: Embrace the Hill Elijah The Pre-run… You have to decide How you're gonna handle That hill… Hate it? Or embrace it?](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649ed85503460f94be6a4b/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
…let it be known this day that you are God in Israel, and that I am your servant, and that I have done all these things at your word
![Page 35: Embrace the Hill Elijah The Pre-run… You have to decide How you're gonna handle That hill… Hate it? Or embrace it?](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649ed85503460f94be6a4b/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Answer me, O Lord, answer me, that this people may know that you, O Lord, are God, and that you have turned their hearts back”
![Page 36: Embrace the Hill Elijah The Pre-run… You have to decide How you're gonna handle That hill… Hate it? Or embrace it?](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649ed85503460f94be6a4b/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Then the fire of the Lord fell and consumed the burnt offering and the wood and the stones and the
dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench
![Page 37: Embrace the Hill Elijah The Pre-run… You have to decide How you're gonna handle That hill… Hate it? Or embrace it?](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649ed85503460f94be6a4b/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
And when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces and said, “The Lord, he is God; the Lord, he is God”
Not a great thing…
![Page 38: Embrace the Hill Elijah The Pre-run… You have to decide How you're gonna handle That hill… Hate it? Or embrace it?](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649ed85503460f94be6a4b/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
And Elijah said to them, “Seize the prophets of Baal; let not one
of them escape.” And they seized them
![Page 39: Embrace the Hill Elijah The Pre-run… You have to decide How you're gonna handle That hill… Hate it? Or embrace it?](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649ed85503460f94be6a4b/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
And Elijah brought them down to the brook Kishon and slaughtered them there

…they have built the high places of Baal to burn their sons in the fire as burnt offerings to Baal- Jeremiah 19:5

Rain comes…after 3 years
![Page 42: Embrace the Hill Elijah The Pre-run… You have to decide How you're gonna handle That hill… Hate it? Or embrace it?](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649ed85503460f94be6a4b/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
God was looking for:Single-minded Faith in the One who supplies
Rather than self-sufficiencyBackup plans and other sources
![Page 43: Embrace the Hill Elijah The Pre-run… You have to decide How you're gonna handle That hill… Hate it? Or embrace it?](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649ed85503460f94be6a4b/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and how he had killed
all the prophets with the sword
This is that moment!
![Page 44: Embrace the Hill Elijah The Pre-run… You have to decide How you're gonna handle That hill… Hate it? Or embrace it?](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649ed85503460f94be6a4b/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
If they do not hear Moses and the Prophets, neither will they
be convinced if someone should rise from the dead
- Jesus, Luke 16

Discussing the FaithSharing what God has done

Then Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying, “So may the gods do to me and more also, if I do not make your life as the life of one of them by this time tomorrow”
![Page 47: Embrace the Hill Elijah The Pre-run… You have to decide How you're gonna handle That hill… Hate it? Or embrace it?](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649ed85503460f94be6a4b/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Elijah's Response?

Then he was afraid, and he arose and ran for his life and
came to Beersheba, which belongs to Judah, and left his
servant there
![Page 49: Embrace the Hill Elijah The Pre-run… You have to decide How you're gonna handle That hill… Hate it? Or embrace it?](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649ed85503460f94be6a4b/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
But he himself went a day's journey into the wilderness and came and sat down under a broom tree. And he asked that he might die, saying…

“It is enough; now, O Lord, take away my life, for I am no better
than my fathers.” And he lay down and slept
under a broom tree
![Page 51: Embrace the Hill Elijah The Pre-run… You have to decide How you're gonna handle That hill… Hate it? Or embrace it?](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649ed85503460f94be6a4b/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
"I haven't changed anything""I haven't done my job""I can't make a difference"
What's the problem with that?

God didn't call Elijah to be Accountable for results
He called Elijah to be Faithful to the Call of God
On his life

Couldn't the God who answered By fire and brought Great victory
Also protect Elijah? Or…bring him home?
