ever have to miss a new message. Let's go right into the service recorded at Free Chapel.

I believe it's going to bless you today. I'll begin reading with verse 30 of First Kings

chapter 18.

Then Elijah said to all of the people come near to me.

So all the people came near and he repaired the altar of the Lord that was broken down.

By the way, at five o'clock this afternoon, we'll be building the same altar that Elijah did.

This is the first Sunday of the month, and we always have a prayer and praise one hour's service that is powerful. If you've never been a part of it, it is essential to this church. And it's part of everything that

happens. And Elijah took 12 stones according to the number of the tribes, according to the sons of

Jacob, to whom the word of the Lord had come, say, and Israel shall be your name. Then with the stones, he built an altar in the word of the Lord had come saying Israel shall be your name.

Then with the stones he built an altar in the name of the Lord and he made a trench around the

altar large enough to hold two seas of seed.

And he put the wood in order. Notice that. He put the wood in order.

Cut the bull in pieces. Layed it on the wood, poured water pots of water,

on the burnt sacrifice and on the wood. He said, do it a second time, and do it a third time.

Verse 35, the water ran all over and filled the trench with the water and it came to pass at the time of the

evening sacrifice Elijah the prophet came near and called on the name of the lord the god of

Abraham Isaac and Jacob and he said these words let it be known this day that you are God and

Israel these are the words that got me and that I'm your servant.

I wonder if we have a strong enough want with God that we could say that with assurance.
