The spiritlfal man would rather go to Carmel (fruitful) to pray.

I have said that Ahab was the out­standing s inner of hi s time. Possibly he had to thank Jezebel hi s wife for this, for she certainly was the synonym of all that was dark and wicked.

It was Jezebd who induced Ahab to erect a temple to Baal, and to import a ret inue of llaal priests: and from that t ime forward he seemed to follow her in the path of darkest infamy, and rej ection of the true God.

Tn 1 Kings 16 :33 we are told that Ahao did more to provoke the Lord God

w. E. Moody

of bnlcl to anger than all the kings of Israel that wcre before him.

'\l1d in I King .. 2 1 :25 we read that " there was none like unto .\ha1>, which did s(:11 him .. ('1f to work wickedness in till' sight of til{' Lord, whom J ezebcl his wife stirn:d up." And in the preceding 22d n~r~e Cod spoke to him through Elijah, "ThOll hast provoked . .\Ie to an­gcr, and lIlade Israel to ~in,"

On thl' ollll'r haUl!. Elijah was one of til(' gre:lllsl of Cod's prophets. To read hi~ II ft- ll1duding the ft,\\-, wl'ak SpOIs in 11 is 10 ht, thrilled aud inspired hy the marn:loll" ('H'1l1s it ("ontains.

Conc{'rning AhaJJ it was ~aid (I Kings 21 :19), "In the pia((' where dogs licked 111\." hlood of i\ahoth ~hall dogs lick thy hlood, even thille." ,\l1d thb came literal· Iy LO pas ... Sce I I(ings 22 :38.

( )f I-:Jijah. 011 th(' other hand, \\le read th<.' in:-;piri llg record ill 2 K illj..:"s 2 :11, "It Gil lie to pa .. s, as thcy (Elijah and Elisha) .. t ill Wl'1l 1 011, a11(1 talked, that, behold, l11t're apPl..'ar<.'d a {'hariot of fire , and hors(':-, of fire. and parted them both a .. ulH!<..·r; and Elija h wellt lip by a whi rl­willd IIIto h<.'a,·cn."

But let 11 .. r('tUril to 1I10Ullt Carmel. and s('(' what the:-;e men El ijah and \hab a rc doing.

Ahah went to the house of icastillg. Elijah well t to the place of prayer. Elijah had already utt e red the triumphant words, ';Thcre is a sOlll1d of abundance of rain," and he was going to prove to Ahah alld to all brad that he had ut ­tered those words in Ihe power o f the Spiri t, and that they were about to have their fulfillment.

Did E lijah "sit down" a nd await the fulfilling of these words ? No, he went up to the top of Carmcl. Note that he went to the top. This reminds us of the experience of 110ses a s he went to the top of the hill with the rod of God ill his hand, and there took the victory ove r All1alck. See Ex. 17:9·1 3.

And again in Ex. 34:2 the Lord called to Moses, "Be ready in the morning, and come up in the morning unto Mount S inai, and present thyself there to me in the top of the mount." See also 19 :20.

I wonder how many of my readers love to wend their way to the top of the )' l ount of Communion, and thcre hold convcrse with God. Then.: is 110 place morc atlractiyt' to the olle \\lho kllO"<.Vs ~(ld,

"Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; and Ill' e<ht hilllsd f dowll upon the earth, and Jlut hi~ facc bCl\\,~CIl his knees." This twofold attitude "~t()kencd intense COI"J/CStIlCSS_ Btll he had heard the "sound of abundance of rain," and he klll'w hc was on the right track,

J lan' "in' heard that sound? This was a sound that 110 one heard but Elijah , J la\"e 1. ... '1' ('ars to hl"'.II' this sound? Can we hear the conquering tread of our Em­manud?

1. Tlwre is "a sOl1nd Qf abundance o f rain" when ~lll the childre1l of God love one another.

"By this shall a ll men know that yc arc Ill)' disciples, if yc ha vc love olle to a noth~r." J ohn 13:35.

".\nd the g lory which thou gavc:;t me 1 have given them; that they Illay he one, C\'CIl as we a re one.: 1 in thcm, and thou in 111(:, tha t they may he made perfect in o nc; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me." John 17 :22, 23.

11 was the spi r it of uuity il1 prais ing and hl essing God that cansed the glory of God to fill the honse of the Lord, Sec 2 (,hroll. 5:1.1 ,14 .

1t was the spiril uf 10\(' alld ull ity that made poss ible the gn..'<lt outpou ri ng of the S pirit o n the Day of I '(,l1tt'CO::;I, as re· corded in Acts 2; and it was the same unity that brought about a repetition of the same in Acts 4 :29-3 1. "-hencver and wherever thi s love and unity pre­vails today, "there is a sound of abun­dance of rai n."

2. There is " a sound of abundance of rain" whell a deep spirit o f prayer is abroad in the earth.

" .\s soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her ch ildren." l sa. 66 :8.

The revivals under J onathan Edwards, Charles G. Finney, D. L. Moody, the \Vcbh Revival, the Latter H.ain Outpour­ing of the Spi rit, all were the direct re­sult of prevai ling prayer. \\Then pea·

pie crowd to the prayer meetings, there is a clear sign of rain.

3. There is "a sound of ahundance of rain" when an intcnsl.! spirit of givillg gets possession of the people.

Mal. 3:10 is clear on Ihis point. "Bring ye all the tithes into the slon:hotlse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove fill' now herewith, saith the Lord o~ hosts. if I will not opcn you the wll1do\'~'s of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there ~haJl not be room enough to receive it."

4. There is "a sound of abundance of rain" when the people of Cod ha\'c a mind to work."

"So built we the wall; and all Ihe wall was joined together unto the hal f thtre­of: for the Ix:ople had a mimI 10 work." ~eh. 4 :6.

\Vork and pra)'a always go hand in hand.

I laving then heard the SOUI/d, let uS

like Elijah pray until the mighty showers descend.

Our praying lJIIISt be importullate. Elijah not only prayed, but he J.:cpt Ull

praying, and looking for the answer. lle "said to his servant, Go up now,

look (attentively, ?\ewberry) toward the sea. And he went up. anll looked (at­tentively), and said, There is nothing."

JJ ow often we have had a similar ex­peri<:l1cc. \Ve have 10oJ..f.:d, and there was no sign of rain .

But Elijah kept on praying. "Go again seven times. .\n<l it came to pass at the seventh time, that he said, Behold, there ariseth a lillie cloud om of the sea, like a man's hand." Il was at the sevelllh time, when Elijah'5 faith and patience were perfected, that the clouds began to gather, and "there was a great rain . "

A nd now E lijah's chid thought was for Ahah, who was away grati fying h is fleshly appet ites. "Go up, say untO Ahab, IJrepare thy chariot, and g<:t thee down, that the rain stop thee not."

H ad not Elijah thus spoken , the on­coming flood might have cost Ahab his li fe. For "it callle to pass in the mean while , that the heaven was black with clouds a nd wind, a nd there was a g reat rain_"

Are 1-ve looking for showers of ra in in these the closing days of this age? ] las not God promised to send "floods upon the d ry ground"? lsa. 44 :3.

Has H e not told us to ask fo r "ra in in the time of the la tter rain"? Zech. 10 :1. Has H e not promised to pou r out of H is Spi r it upon all fleshY Acts 2 :li. ] 5 !li s power limi ted?

S urely the ra in is " eeded, and su rely God is willing to send it. ] Ie can gi ve us spir itual cloud burst s. Let us " to our knees," and pray unlit t he floods come.

One of the most important things in conncction with this new \\'\iole Bible Course will be the Daily Bible Readings, L.ct every Sunday School t{'acher fol­low these and persuade every pupil to

follow th is 5..'lIllC reading course, which will enable every aile to read the Old TeMament once a year and the ~ew Te!,wtlwnt and P~alms iwice, Our de­sire is to see eve ry one in Pentecost a Ol1e hundred per cent Bihle Christ ian, taking the \\'o rd of God as the sole guide for faith and conduct, and receiv­ing the blessed H oly Spiri t as the power for wi lnessing fo r Christ. In the P.tm­Jccostal F.·wlIgrl of December 26th we hope to print, for the benefit of all our readers, the year's Bible H.eading Course in full.

Free booklets concl'rning our ncw course of uniform lessons which are for the juniors to the adults, and also of our preparatory course for the primary chil­dren, will be gladly sent on application.
