「親愛的主耶穌，感謝你為我的罪釘死在十字架上，我願意在你面前承認我的罪（凡聖靈光照到的，請逐一說出），求你用你的寶血赦免我的罪，我願意打開心門讓你作我的救主，求你救贖我，我願意一生跟隨你讓你作我生命的主，求你帶領我。聖靈，求你充滿我，使我得著恩賜及力量去事奉主、見證主。奉主耶穌基督名求，阿們。」

13 有 一 個 先 知 來 見 以 色 列 王 亞 哈 ， 說 ： 耶 和 華 如 此 說 ： 這 一 大 群 人 你 看 見 了 麼 ？ 今 日 我 必 將 他 們 交 在 你 手 裡 ， 你 就 知 道 我 是 耶 和 華 。
列王紀上 20:13-22
14 亞 哈 說 ： 藉 著 誰 呢 ？ 他 回 答 說 ： 耶 和 華 說 ， 藉 著 跟 從 省 長 的 少 年 人 。 亞 哈 說 ： 要 誰 率 領 呢 ？ 他 說 ： 要 你 親 自 率 領 。
15 於 是 亞 哈 數 點 跟 從 省 長 的 少 年 人 ， 共 有 二 百 三 十 二 名 ， 後 又 數 點 以 色 列 的 眾 兵 ， 共 有 七 千 名 。
16 午 間 ， 他 們 就 出 城 ； 便 哈 達 和 幫 助 他 的 三 十 二 個 王 正 在 帳 幕 裡 痛 飲 。
17 跟 從 省 長 的 少 年 人 先 出 城 ； 便 哈 達 差 遣 人 去 探 望 ， 他 們 回 報 說 ： 有 人 從 撒 瑪 利 亞 出 來 了 。
18 他 說 ： 他 們 若 為 講 和 出 來 ， 要 活 捉 他 們 ； 若 為 打 仗 出 來 ， 也 要 活 捉 他 們 。
19 跟 從 省 長 的 少 年 人 出 城 ， 軍 兵 跟 隨 他 們 ；
20 各 人 遇 見 敵 人 就 殺 。 亞 蘭 人 逃 跑 ， 以 色 列 人 追 趕 他 們 ； 亞 蘭 王 便 哈 達 騎 著 馬 和 馬 兵 一 同 逃 跑 。
21 以 色 列 王 出 城 攻 打 車 馬 ， 大 大 擊 殺 亞 蘭 人 。
22 那 先 知 來 見 以 色 列 王 ， 對 他 說 ： 你 當 自 強 ， 留 心 怎 樣 防 備 ； 因 為 到 明 年 這 時 候 ， 亞 蘭 王 必 上 來 攻 擊 你 。
現在讓你有一段安靜的時間, 給聖靈一個空間, 讓主耶穌可以藉着你剛才讀過的經文, 對你說話:
我的聆聽
Well, Elijah went through all those seven rules of "Don't Quite" and he did not quit but he went back to where he was, waiting for God's another mission plan.
You may be thinking why Ahab did not do anything to kill him from that point on. Was Elijah lucky that he was not found by Ahab? Was Elijah under a very special protection of God just like what God did before so he was not found by Ahab?
The answer is so simple! Ahab did not have the heart and energy to chase Elijah anymore because he was being attacked by Ben-Hada king of Aram to the point of losing everything of what he had got.
When you come back to God and experience His life transformation procedure to you just like He did to Elijah, God has His own way to take you out of your troubles, worries and fear! Do you believe that? Have you experienced that?
The interest thing is that when Elijah was being encouraged, renewed, revived and freshly anointed, God used an unknown prophet to do the big job in todays chapter. Elijah at first thought every prophet died but this chapter shows very clearly that God used a prophet with no name to remove Elijah's fear of being killed.
God does not need you to do His job, He has numerous faithful and humble servants. It is your honour and blessing to be used by Him to bring blessings to other people if you follow Him with no fear!
Just like King David's experience of his personal catch in Psalm 23, from "The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want" to "I shall not fear". Not wanting what he wanted but no fear of unable to meet his "want", no fear of lacking anything even no fear of death! That's how David experienced, that's how Elijah experienced.
How about you?

How about you?
Dear Lord Jesus,
Lead us to be close to you so that we do not fear of all things because we have you with us. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

省察問題
1. What do you think is the reason that Elijah did not afraid of being killed any more? Do you agree with today's message? How can today's message help you to have no fear?
2. Is there anything you need to repent or change before you can experience what Elijah experienced?
