“Encounter with Elijah in the Cave of the Prophets” – 10-30-24
I was just resting in the Lord when I suddenly felt myself pulled upwards into the heavenlies. I found myself in a big cave. I looked around and at the end of the cave was Elijah sitting on a ledge smiling at me. He patted a spot by his side for me to come over and to sit with him. He said, “Welcome Sue, I have waited to speak with you.” I walked to the back ledge and was greeted by Elijah’s warm smile. He was dressed in a simple robe, sandals, and he had a bald head and a beard. “I said, do you know me, Elijah?” He laughed and said, “We all know who you are here Sue. You are in the line of the prophets, and we have trained many schools of prophets for many generations. You are here to understand that your generation is one that will face greatest of spiritual battles just ahead, for harvest of the ages is assigned to all of you on the earth.”
“Just as I fought against the forces of darkness in my day, remember, you also walk in the light that is greater than my day. You have the Lord within you. You must seek the Lord’s face and for His plan for your times. Do not run from the darkness that is raging all around you, but seek the One who knows all things, and who knows what is to come! He will come and reveal His hand right when you need it! The hearts of men are being laid bare everywhere. The Spirit is moving deeply in the earth and so is the resistance to all that is good. Stand your ground. Seek Him and He shall come, and His Hand will be seen as you do! He will give you the answers to that which you currently seek. Nations will clash in your times, and nations will surely realign. You know this. The battle lines have been drawn in the back rooms, but there are more for all of you than those against you. Look at things as they truly are, and see the angelic forces arrayed everywhere! The Hand of the Lord is upon His people and is also fixed upon His Purposes.”
“Watch and pray! Stand your ground, and see the answers fall in place all around! Heavens forces are on the move. Trust in the voice of the Lord who will instruct you all what to do next. Do not fear man, nor the enemies plan, but also trust in the Lord’s coming strong hand! He will show you the hidden way, and you will all understand. Fear not the raging of humanities seas- but look upon the One who will yet unfold His mysteries! He is not finished in the nations! Be strong and encourage your brothers and sisters. Be empowered by the Lord who is with all of you! You are the Watchmen of your times. Look for the sign of the Lords coming hand, and you will understand what He is going to do in your land. Speak the things that the Lord reveals to all of you, and as you all do, the Lord will unfold the next phase of all that He has called you all to do. We are watching all of you. Be faithful to your calls and you will persevere through it all!”
- With that, he smiled and squeezed my hand, and then I was back in my room.
Scriptures:
1 Kings 18:41 And Elijah said to Ahab, Go up, eat and drink, for there is the sound of abundance of rain. 42 So Ahab went up to eat and to drink. And Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; and he bowed himself down upon the earth and put his face between his knees 43 And said to his servant, Go up now, look toward the sea. And he went up and looked and said, There is nothing. Elijah said, Go again seven times. 44 And at the seventh time the servant said, A cloud as small as a man’s hand is arising out of the sea. And Elijah said, Go up, say to Ahab, Hitch your chariot and go down, lest the rain stop you. 45 In a little while, the heavens were black with wind-swept clouds, and there was a great rain. And Ahab went to Jezreel. 46 The hand of the Lord was on Elijah. He girded up his loins and ran before Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel [nearly twenty miles].
2 Kings 6:14 So [the Syrian king] sent there horses, chariots, and a great army. They came by night and surrounded the city. 15 When the servant of the man of God rose early and went out, behold, an army with horses and chariots was around the city. Elisha’s servant said to him, Alas, my master! What shall we do? 16 [Elisha] answered, Fear not; for those with us are more than those with them. 17 Then Elisha prayed, Lord, I pray You, open his eyes that he may see. And the Lord opened the young man’s eyes, and he saw, and behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha. 18 And when the Syrians came down to him, Elisha prayed to the Lord, Smite this people with blindness, I pray You. And God smote them with blindness, as Elisha asked.
