Elijah

I had Elijah on my mind this morning. I was thinking about him being fed by birds, by the brook, all alone. When the brook dried up, he had to leave.

That's kinda' like me: I've been to different places (churches they called them), and needed every little morsel I was getting there. When it dried up, God always told me to leave.

That all alone feeling, a famine in the land... all too familiar.

Then, I find Curry preaching in South Africa, live on the internet. And, where does he have us turn to in our Bibles, yep, 1 Kings 17- Elijah!

There is something about the widow woman that really strikes a chord with me, but it is something for the future; I don't know what it is, just that it means something for later.

Curry was really hammering raising the dead too...

A famine in the land, living on morsels, wandering through a wasteland, lonely, and a need for the "dead" to rise; interesting...

I don't know Curry Blake, and have never met him in person, but he is the only one that makes any sense any more scripturally. I'm synced up with him and always seem to know what he going to teach about or at least desperately need what he has to offer. I know that's God, via the Holy Spirit.

In contrast, I also realized today that I am "synced up" with somebody else, but this is not good. He is one of the owners where I work, and our "relationship" has been sordid at best. My fear of his reaction (based on previous "reactions") renders me only but half effective at best at work. Most people can't possibly understand, but then it seems that even at his worst, he still treats others better; it is WAY WAY worse than the proverbial red-headed step child thing.

Immediately after the service was done on the internet, I had to pray. I forgave the owner and released him. Other people came to mind and I forgave them and released them too. But, then there's this one guy; something is off about him. I don't know what it is. It's not me; something is just wrong. Praying for that one was hard. It wasn't that I didn't want to forgive him, but there was more to it than I understood. I forgave him for all of the oppression he had caused me and it was followed by "Go. And sin no more."

I'm not sure "how" I am supposed to pray for him, but I'm going to focus some prayer time specifically for him.
