  9. The Spirit of Elijah The Holy Spirit in the Old Testament

  10. Setting the scene • One man exemplifies the life of a Spirit-filled man in the Old Testament more than any other. That man was Elijah. He came to prominence during the troubled reign of Ahab and Jezebel (1 Kings 16: 29-34), against whom he represented an implacable opposition. We’re looking at three meetings in his life and asking what that teaches us about ministry in the Spirit. The Holy Spirit in the Old Testament

  11. Elijah and the widow of Zarephath • 1 Kings 17: 7-24 • “I have commanded a widow to supply you with food” (v9) • “The jar of flour will not be used up… until the Lord gives rain” (v14) • “The Lord heard Elijah’s cry and the boy’s life returned” (v22) The Holy Spirit in the Old Testament

  12. Elijah and Obadiah • 1 Kings 18: 10-15 • “The word of the Lord came” (v1) • Obadiah: A man between two worlds • “The Spirit of the Lord may carry you….” (v12) • Who do you belong to, Obadiah? The Holy Spirit in the Old Testament

  13. Elijah and Ahab • Ahab: “Is it you, you troubler?” • Elijah: “Summon the people” • “Summon the prophets of Baal” • Let’s see who’s in charge here. The Holy Spirit in the Old Testament

  14. What is the “ministry of the Spirit”? • Elijah and the widow (1 Kings 17) • Ministry in the Spirit: Provision and Power •  Elijah and Obadiah (1 Kings 18) • Ministry in the Spirit: Discernment and Ownership •  Elijah and Ahab (1 Kings 18:17f) • Ministry in the Spirit: Choice and Division The Holy Spirit in the Old Testament

  15. What is it like to live in “the Spirit of Elijah”? • Choice: choosing God’s way • Division: separating from other ways • Discernment: working with wisdom • Provision: receiving God’s “enough” • Power: seeing God move in miracles The Holy Spirit in the Old Testament
