In this sermon, the speaker recounts a story from the book of Acts about the Apostle Paul being caught in a powerful storm at sea. Despite the ship being in distress and the crew losing hope, Paul reveals that an angel of God stood by him throughout the storm. The speaker draws parallels between this story and the end times, suggesting that it serves as a reminder of the need for divine intervention in difficult times. The sermon also includes personal anecdotes about the speaker's own experiences of facing challenges and the importance of paying attention to God's attempts to get our attention.

In this sermon, the speaker begins by praying for God to speak a word and birth an event in the church and nation. He then turns to the story of Elijah in 1 Kings 17, highlighting the prophet's sudden appearance and authority to confront the powers opposed to God. The speaker shares his personal testimony of how God arrested his life when he was an atheist and ex-Marxist. He emphasizes the power of a word spoken in authority and how it can turn lives around. The sermon concludes with the story of Elijah's confrontation with the false prophets and the people's declaration that the Lord is God.

Zac Poonen preaches about Elijah's obedience to God's commands, highlighting how Elijah initially depended on ravens for provision but was later taught to trust in the Lord alone. The story of Elijah being sent to Zarephath emphasizes God's unexpected ways of providing through a poor widow, teaching us to rely on God rather than human sources. Elijah's faith in God's promise led to the miraculous sustenance of the widow's flour and oil, showcasing God's faithfulness in times of need.

Charles E. Cowman preaches on the importance of the hidden life, emphasizing that God's servants must learn the value of solitude and seeking refuge in God away from the busyness and distractions of the world. He highlights the need for believers to retreat to their own 'Cherith' - a place of seclusion and communion with God, where they can absorb spiritual power and deepen their relationship with Him. Various examples from history, including Bishop Andrews, John Welsh, David Brainerd, and Christmas Evans, demonstrate the significance of finding one's Cherith for spiritual growth and influence. Just as Jesus and other biblical figures found their Cherith in moments of seclusion and prayer, believers today are encouraged to seek their own place of retreat to experience the quietness and power that comes from a hidden life with Christ.

F.B. Meyer explores the life of Elijah, emphasizing that he was an ordinary man who achieved extraordinary feats through faith and obedience to God. He highlights the importance of taking one step at a time in faith, learning the value of a hidden life of prayer, and trusting God absolutely, even when faced with challenges like drying brooks. Meyer encourages believers to recognize that God often leads them through periods of waiting and uncertainty to deepen their faith and reliance on Him. Ultimately, he reassures that God's provision is always present for those who remain faithful and receptive to His guidance.
