@Livingwater Study2B...Elijah by the Brook 1King17:4-7 Brook experience is a must for every faithful Christian.... In verse 4 God promised to supply Elijah’s needs while by the brook. How gracious of the Lord! It is a wonderful truth to know He never sends us anywhere to do anything without His presence and provision. The promise of Scripture is always “my God shall supply all your need . . .” (Phil. 4:19 ). Below are remaining points... 2 . THE PROMISE THAT HE RECEIVED Verse 4. With God’’s command will come His promise –- always. The promise was certain – – it shall be”. It was sufficient –- God’’s supply always is. It was conditional.

Thus Elijah, knowing God’’s mind, prayed for a fulfilling of His word, and spoke boldly to Ahab. The Lord then graciously sent him away to a quiet place to experience Psalm 91:1 to the full (and indeed, the whole psalm). This story of Elijah revolves around two God-given commands: “Go, HIDE thyself……”” (KJV) –- the private aspect of his life and service; the going “in” (John 10:9); the “prayer” ministry (A
