In 1 Kings 18, we read the amazing account of God's defeat of Bale's prophets.

The story is unforgettable.

At the time, Israel was torn, should it follow Bale, or should it follow the living God?

And as it stood, the people of Israel were limping between two different options.

Most people would climb Mount Caramau to witness two sacrifices laid out.

One sacrifice with a bull would be set on logs by Elijah.

Another bull on logs would be assembled by the prophets of Bale, equal offerings.

Then the prophets would call down divine fire to light the sacrifices.

Bale's 450 prophets went first and called out and called out and called out.

Nothing from their God.

That Elijah, God's lone prophet on the mountain on the scene, set up his sacrifice, had

it doused with water three times over and then called for God to act.

As we read in 1 Kings 18, verses 36 to 39, in the words of Elijah,

O Lord God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel, let it be known this day that you are God and

Israel and that I am your servant and I have done all these things at your word.

Answer me, O Lord, answer me that this people may know that you, O Lord, are God and that

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.
