Then listen to Logos Rima Arvid Reverend Dr. Joseph Bowel being head pastor of Harvest Japanese National Commerce. He is a seasoned man of God and a teacher of the Word and his truth and simplicity. Make time with us each and every Monday to Friday at 2 p.m. on Spirit 88.3 FN as we encounter the Word of truth. God richly bless you.

1:04Welcome to Logos Rima Arvid God 7 Reverend Dr. Joseph Bowel being head pastor of Harvest Japanese National Commerce and now to today's message. The theme for this abandoned life conference and IP first number one is I will pray again. Amen. Hallelujah. Amen. Thank you so much. Let's pick a few lessons about Elijah, hallelujah, and so we got to the 6th where Elijah had been supernaturally provided for by the ravings. They brought him bread and meat in the morning and breaded meat in the evening and drank from the brook and some of the lessons that we have picked about the life of Elijah.

2:06As it shows that we know, it's very clear. It's the most trouble that he had been working with called hallelujah and he picks the same lessons. We have said that he knew the Lord was alive. We see that he had a seven heart and attitude, very, very humble, very, very submissive to be fed by ravings, not knowing where the best thing that they meet from and eat in it's hallelujah. That was a very submissive profit or seven dollar. Who knew that in any case God will not send you something that is bad. Say amen. Elijah was trusting enough to believe that this was good bread and good meat and he was enjoying it's hallelujah until the brook run dry. And then the next episode of his adventures with God be games. Then the weight of the Lord came to him saying hallelujah and once again we can pick the

3:11same lessons, the same attitudes that we are seeing him demonstrating hallelujah. What I want to say here is that God is always speaking and the weight of the Lord came to him. God is always speaking to his children. Amen. God is always speaking. Are you imagining it? Amen. God is with us in us and they break we go and when we speak to him we do the prayer start up. God doesn't speak to us. No. As for God is speaking about the problem is who is listening. So we have a listening profit. A listening child of God. A listening son of God. Hallelujah. Who is listening and who is obeying? He could have argued God. Did you say another widow? Is that the brook dried up? And so presumably that is why God says can we move? Maybe Elijah should have argued God when the ravings are bringing the bread and the meat. Can they bring water? So we can't say God is always speaking.

4:14Who is listening? And who is ready to obey? That's the key. Are you willing to be obedient? Because like we keep on saying whenever you feel that you are not hearing God again, go back to your last act. Is it the disobedience or obedience? When was the last time you were willing and comfortable to obey. If you never obey him, he moves on to another person. Now God is constantly speaking. Who is listening? And I pray that we'll link this IP, this conference and go back listening. Listening. God is speaking. And now we're willing to obey. Hallelujah. Amen. I believe that God is looking for the Elijah of our day to sign up and put themselves up as a God. Usually I think God is going to use you. I'm not God that's in conflict for you to do your own thing. You are messengers. We are messengers. We need more listening and obeying the prophets in our days. Because when you hear and you listen and you know his words because of the

5:14interact and you speak none of those words will fall aside or apart. That's the true servants. Those are the true prophets of God. Let's do the next nicest arise. Go to Zarefa where he belongs to Sidon and dwell there. See? I have commanded a widow there to provide for you. Hallelujah. Oh, Jesus. I believe that God there are places in this city country all over the world. The Saripaths that God wants to send us to. And he will send us to bring Anna to him. Is it a thing is I went in here for God. There's so much confidence in you when you are speaking. But the problem is most of us are not listening. I can always say you know when I was in the most difficult aspect of the work with God is when you are sure and said to God God has spoken and we need to do well to kill our ears to hear to listen to this said the voice of God.

6:14And that leaves what happens. How often you are willing to have conversations. The more and more you have those conversations during your quiet time praying we need a way of being going to church you know and getting involved putting your time, treasures and your talents on board. It's facilities. Our hearing from God. Our descendant of the voice of God. Constantly what he wants to do. Constantly this Jesus wants to comment on it. God wants to comment on it. As if to say. Hallelujah. When God commanded in Elijah or St. Elijah to side path. There were widows. There were teeth of heartless. There were nearly widows in Israel. But there were few who were listening to God and willing to be. Look at what God said. I have commanded and we did there to provide meaning that this widow on God had access to this widow. This was a widow who had the voice of God or knew the voice of God. God said I have commanded her. More like seeing she has received me by my

7:16side. And I just want to bless the Hallelujah. Amen. The other aspect that we are looking at is also the provisions aspect. The supernatural provisions that God was making for his seven in trying times and difficulties. God is saying it. Hallelujah. Amen. There is divine provisions for us. Amen. Amen. Hallelujah. I hope we are getting it. Are we prepared to come on these adventures with God? So we can see those supernatural provisions in our lives and break the cycle of poverty and lack. Amen. It can be tough. But we have done it over the years. Over the individual family and then the church level to doubt to be convinced that God is our provider. I have no doubts about that. And you should always be ready for the next adventure with God. God, how are we going to do this? How is it going to be done? This instruction. I wish you be willing to be

8:16Hallelujah. Amen. As I said earlier, Elijah could ask you with God to for naturally provide what are they? Amen. And thankfully Elijah is not like us. Hallelujah. He was willing to go alone to experience the next miracle in his life. So he comes to Zerapa. Amen. And if you look at the text very well, you realize that this whole encounter, this next episode was not just for Elijah alone, but also the video of Sarp. I believe that God was sending to go out there in this period of drought. And well, for whatever, we don't know a lot about this video. But Jesus is commenting on that look God bypassed a lot of videos in Israel during the days of the family. And rather God fixed his eyes on this video. We don't know. But as I like that, can we know that the woman was in a position where she needed her faith to be boosted. Amen. That is what leaders do. Hallelujah. And I'm not just talking about leaders in

9:19positions with title. When you follow God and you descend his voice and you are serving him. You put the time, you put the talents, you put the treasures and you are descending of the voice. You're you're full. God wants to use us anywhere you come. You are you are a vessel of encouragement. And the faith boosted you know, because you know, you are tested and you are seen. The God is a provider. He's the one that working miracle, working God. Hallelujah. As I said, we don't know the genie so far. But number one, we have seen the supernatural provision. We are building an episode number two each year, episode number three, then four, then five, then the race. And when it comes of the race, having not to respond because yes, he has been said. It's a true messenger. So when is that I hear the sound of the abundance of friends. And the sevens I can see in the cloud during this drought situation three and a half. Yes, no cloud. No, he said, no, go again. He said, no, I see

10:22nothing. Papa is a go at that time. Go for five, 60 counts. He said, he said, no, God, it cannot lie. Go again for the seven times. Let us see what he would do. And then he can't find out. There's something insignificant. He says, I see just the face of a cloud. But that probably was soon dispatched. He said, no, that's it. That's it. And the Bible says that meanwhile, the clouds scattered and the whole place was dark and seated so naturally with way in a drought condition and say, they are how you rise up. That's it. That's what James is telling us. He was a man like us. And he prayed again, again, again. I know I have heard from God. But there is a sound of way. And God will do just what he has said. He will do. Hallelujah. So more or less God was telling like I have commanded a willing we do. A willing we do. This was somebody who was willing to accommodate

11:25him. Boss said I have commanded him. And she looked at it. I'm going to post a seven of the Lord or a messenger of the Lord. And my God, I just have been me left. And I'm sure she was also shaking her head. As she went outside the city gates to go and got us some sticks to come and cook that though. I don't think I had from God. It can't be God. It can't be God. And she's shaking her head and said, no, no, God can't do that. You can't do that. Everything has run out. I'm left with. How can I? As I said, God was sending Elijah to come and boost a faith. Oh, Jesus. As we stand here, we communicate and say that God will do it. Hallelujah. God will provide. God will heal. God will supply to boost your faith. God will deliver. What can demons are tormenting you? Hey, the family line. It will be destroyed. Oh, yes, Lord. Mara Sakai. So as I said, the text suggests that this time around, the target of this faith boosting adventure was

12:29not only for Elijah, but this unknown widow, who somewhere somehow had won the heart of God and is singled out for this supernatural provision. Whatever she was doing, you know, but at least we know. Oh, Jesus, my lady, the heart of God. So as a very hospitable lady to be able to say, yes, I'm sending you a prophet and she was willing to be hospitable. But I will say that what people have entertained angels unknown because of their heart and spirit of kindness and hospitality. Amen. God wants us to be nice. He wants us to be hospitable. He said he couldn't find any widow in Israel except this idonian woman who was willing to host his prophet. He said, son, can you go? I've commanded her and she's willing to host go and boost her faith. She has, she's at the point where she thinks that she's going to eat her last meal and die. But go. You'll be a faith booster and an encourager. You host this

13:30a man of God. Somebody who knows God. It comes to your home. They'll come with comfort. They come with cheer. You see the people who know God right interacting right here. They have problems. So they are problems. Do I list my own? We won't finish. Amen. Let's listen. Let's get to three thousand. Let's say eight past three thousand. Yes. But we just ride over them. You wake up. You'll hand it over to God. The ones that you saw this or the ones that you saw. You go through it. Amen. You go through the problems. And I believe that somebody is here. God is also signaling you out tonight to boost your faith. Hallelujah. If only you will be willing to do what God will command you to do. That is a secret and your willingness is as I have commanded and she has said yes. Go. So sometimes the problems that we go is set up and then you stand and confront it and say no. I know. I know my Redeemer lead it. He is the one that we can go. That is what it is out there. This healing

14:32king has decreed has listened to this demonic man. Amen. And as decreed that all of us should die. I know a king. The king of kings and a lot of lots. Guys, can we stand before him for the next three days? We are taking know who we are taking know water. And we know that you give a favorable yes to our cries and our fatigue. We're talking about spirit to our violence. When you know God, you know that he's the masterful God. How long are you going to be tortured by all the demons? No. No. He delivered me. He will deliver you. Those nightmares. No. You have made a bold declaration. You don't want to be changed to your past, to your ancestors, Malamastakaia. Remastakaia. And you are telling God that God, no. No. You think that the demons they just go like that? Oh, please. Don't you know that I'm a university

15:32student and say, tell yourself, and then all kick out all of them. He said, more demons, I'm going to raise up and go to the creator and say, God, I'm tired. I'm tired. I'm tired. I won't really. Can you come through? And God will rise up. So it's a set up for supernatural grace and faith. Let's look at 10. So he arose once again, the heart of obedience and went to Zarepa. And when he came to the gate of the city, indeed, the window was there gathering sticks. And he called to hand said, please bring me a little water in the cup. That I may drink. Hallelujah. How did Elijah recognize hair? Descending. How did she recognize him? Descending. You listen to the conversation. And you knew that they are both recognized each other. This must be the seventh of God that he said he was sending for me to post and be hospitable to him. Elijah recognized this there. She recognized this

16:33statement. I have said, God is always speaking. How many of us are willing and ready to listen and to obey? That's the key. And to obey. So Elijah comes once again, the heart of the descendment. And then the other point about this descendment thing is the fact that God wants to provide us guidance, guidance. We need guidance. We need guidance in this world. That's why Jesus said that it will be with you in you and come alongside of you. Jesus said in this world, you will find problems. But take hearts. Why? I. I will come the world. And he said something. I will never ever leave you until the end of the age. You are walking around. You claim you are born again, believer, tongue speaking, no guidance. Use tumble and you fall. And you say, God does not. God is not. God is not. But God is as the right of evil says. God is. And that's what the first thing that Elijah came and said as long as what the God of Israel lives. God lives. And you need

17:37guidance. He said you guide us. It's a very complex. Like I always like to say, a complex and a very complicated world. Why would you have been created well with all these dreamers hovering around? And when they sing, why do you need to just do and get rid of them before creating other many? I will see that right in the garden of Eden. Satan was there. The wisdom of God. There's no such in the Bible says office understanding. So the demons are that are preventing us. Go nose. Amen. Amen. Amen. But he seeks to guide us to navigate. He's like a librarian, isn't it? To navigate ourselves and get to heaven and we'll get there. Hallelujah. There's guidance for you. If only you are prepared to be and to seek him. Hallelujah. Amen. Hallelujah. Amen. So discernment guidance by the Holy Spirit. And when God sends you and you and I begin to walk in obedience, God

18:37will accompany us in the adventures. God will accompany us. You're searching for a husband. You're searching for a wife. You're searching God will accompany. God will guide us and will help you. You must believe it. You must believe it. He's a gracious God. He's a good God. You must believe it. And cooperate with him. Hallelujah. Amen. So God in this world as a believer, God never leaves us on guidance. Hallelujah. So we come here and then we are seeing that God is about to challenge the faith of this widow. Last meal commanded to host seven months. Hallelujah. To host a month. And this one, I believe she told God yes, but well. Okay. So as she was collecting the head this thing, she now let's listen to the way that it says. And when he came to the gate of the city, indeed, and we know that God raised six and he called to her and said, please bring me a little water in the cup. Not I may drink. And I believe

19:40you're seeing water. No problem at all. Hallelujah. Is this all that God wants me to do? Ah, it says so. So she wants to get into. Like I said, hold on. Hold on. Can you please bring me a more sense of bread in your heart? It says no. Now when they'll be there's a problem where she says I have a problem. Say, can I hear your problem? Yes. As the Lord your God leaves. So now you see that she has recognized him as the messenger that God spoke to her that he is selling over. As the Lord your God leaves, I do not have bread. I don't even understand why he sent you to me with a last muscle of bread, only a handful of flour in a bin and a little oil in the jar and see I am gathering a couple of sticks that I may go in and prepare it for myself and my son. Not with me. Eat it and die. Hallelujah. So you see a complete. Hallelujah. So the first thing I said she seems to

20:40have recognized the man, the spirit of this statement is so I work. Hallelujah. Amen. And she, she expresses and see those doubts that, you know, whatever she thinks that she must have had from God was going to come to pass. And then she makes her precarious situation made known to them. Like, Elijah Hallelujah. But as we said, Elijah was there to boost her faith. Here was this man coming from the book of sheriff. You see how he tells on this precarious adventure will dovetail into the next adventure that you have as God builds our faith up to the point where we can command the reins to come. So the moment you stop coming along with God in the adventures for your life, your faith is God is typhoon. And your experience tainted growth by Elijah is coming from a place where at the book of sheriff, God said I have commanded Ravens and the

21:40Ravens did their job morning and evening. Every morning timeliness we said it yesterday, they were selling your school fees will be paid timely before the people say that you can come and take the exam. You have been trusting God and just before at some week, supernaturally God provided them God is lifting and building your faith up for the next adventure. So in this next adventure, this is somebody who has seen the Bible vision and is coming to a woman who has something in there. And she's complaining and she's talking about the house. And she said, no, I know listen to him. Hallelujah. And Elijah said to her, do not fear God. I obey God. I went to the book of sheriff. He sent Ravens. There was no human mess in your Korea to sell it. Hallelujah. But God commanded the Ravens and they brought food and water, timely every morning every evening. I know this God that I'm selling. And what

22:42God is telling me, you are a handmade of house. He said I have commanded the widow there. You have access to God. God cares for you. I am here to encourage you. A God will do what he did for me in sheriff. I know he's going to do in your home. Are you ready for this adventure? Look at that. He says, do not fear. Go and do what you have said. But make me a small cake from it first. So let's say number one about the woman who is in a precarious situation. Elijah has come to boost the faith. Hey, in every situation, it doesn't matter how dire it may be particularly when it comes to progress. God says Hallelujah. It doesn't matter how much you end. God says you are not God says you want to see God with me reckless interventions in your life. You must are not God. You are not in your time. You are not in your talents. You are not in your treasures. So this woman in my life, I just had a crew. God says I'm an example of it. I am

23:45a testimony. I have given God priority in my life. My time, my treasures, my talents. I have given him priority in my life. I have learned to say God's best in my life and to honor him. So can you provide me fast and then bring it to me. And then the miracle begin to break for amen. And then he said afterwards, you provide for yourself and your son 14. For that saved the Lord God of Israel. Now he comes with the being of flash and not be used up. Nor shall the jar of oil run dry until the day the Lord sends rain on the air. That was very, very, very, very, very explicit. This is what God is saying. That says the Lord God of Israel. And he's not a promise and can't do God. He's not a promise and feel God. Write it down. God will never feel God cannot be saved. Hallelujah. Amen. And then the important thing

24:47that that gave best to the miracle was that was she was ready to post God or the seventh of God in her life. She was willing to accommodate Elijah. Hallelujah. And therefore bringing the presence of God into her home. That is the secret of divine provision. Peter was telling Cornelius how so Hallelujah. God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power. He went about doing good, bringing healing, bringing deliverance of God was with him the presence of God. Cornelian David, the same testimony was said about he is a very skilled happiest. He can play and sing and get these demons that are tormenting the King's soul, living him. He's a fighter. He's a warrior. He's good in speech and he says, oh my God, one key thing that is so powerful and you cannot fail to see is that God is with him. It's God with you. God is going to supply it is because of you. It

25:50was because of Elijah. Now the provisions was being made for that widow. All she did was I'm willing to host. I'm willing to bring and draw the presence of God in my home. Are you prepared to continue to host God in your room wherever you may be to entertain him, to entertain him, make him feel comfortable in your home. In the morning you wake up, I want to sing you a song. God, can you enjoy this dance that I simply just now compose for you? Look, it's an exciting thing to say God and to know here and to worship him and to give him priority in your life. Hallelujah. Amen. Let's look at 15. Let's go. So she went away and did the same spirit of obedience, isn't it? The same thing that we are seeing and did according to the word of Elijah, the obedience. God is speaking. Are you listening? Are you willing to obey? Look at this widow. She says after Elijah has boosted

26:51her faith, she was willing and she and he and her household ate for many days. Look at what happened next. The beam of blood was not used up nor did the jar of oil run dry according to the weight of the Lord, which is spoke by Elijah 17 was still there in the widow's house. He said now it happened after these things that the son of the woman who owned the house became sick and his sickness was so serious that there was no breath left in him. So she said to Elijah, what do you do with your own man of God? Have you come to me to bring my sin to remember us and to kill my son and he said to give me your son. So he took him out of their arms and carried him to the upper room where he was staying and laid him on his own bed. It's conversation. Very interesting. Then he cried out to the Lord and said, oh Lord, my God, have you also brought

27:51tragedy on the widow, remove my Lord by killing her son and he stretched himself out on the child three times and cried out to the Lord and said, oh Lord, my God, I pray. Let this child so come back to him. Then the Lord had the voice of Elijah and the soul of the child came back to him and he revived. Hallelujah. And Elijah took the child and brought him down from the upper room into the house and gave him to his mother and Elijah said, see your son lives. Then the woman said to Elijah, now by this, I know that you are a man of God and that the weight of the Lord in your mouth is the truth. Whatever. I just give one lesson. If God has not decreed it, those of us who are afraid of death, nobody can take your life unless God approves of a man. He is the giver of life. In him we live and move and talk about our

28:51being. And God is saying it doesn't matter whatever the situation in your life, death situation are coming back to life. In the name of Jesus Christ. And we know about the antics of death, not the IP IP is founded on Hallelujah. And God reversed everything. You see the same thing yet? Through Elijah, he revisited. Hey, no, this child is not meant to die. No, when I am here, no, when the presence of God is in this home. And the Bible says Elijah took it, prayed in the life. God restored this voice. Hallelujah.
