Let It Be Known

1 Kings 18:36 "And it came to pass at the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, that Elijah the prophet came near, and said, LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel, let it be known this day that thou art God in Israel, and that I am thy servant, and that I have done all these things at thy word."

In case you haven't noticed the church and everything/everyone associated with it is under attack. Daily we experience tragedy in many areas of the world that leave people wondering. I've been asked, "Why does God let bad things happen?" "Are you sure God is real?" "Why do you believe?". I'll admit that I have had days where I've had questions on whether or not God cares, hears, and/or still works miracles. When you are saved and doubt begins to creep in that is a sign to immerse yourself in the Word because that is where you'll find ALL of your answers. Remember the Bible consists of historical religious encounters; however, it also foreshadows things to come. Everything that is happening HAS to happen to fulfill the prophecy so trust the process.

Many states have taken prayer out of the school. I recently read an article where a high school student got suspended for telling her classmate, who had sneezed, "bless you". In my place of employment we are not allowed to talk about religion nor can we say "Christmas" during the holiday season. The world is slowly trying to eliminate Christ and all He has done for us. The music industry wants to worship Jay-Z who has been nicknamed "Hova" as an abbreviation for Jehovah. Along with him we have Kanye West who now likes to be referred to as "Yeezus" believing himself to be synonymous to Jesus Christ. The artist that arguably has the largest following in this generation, Beyonce, has been referred to as god by her many fans and her daughter as Jesus. How crazy is all of that?

So, what is my point? Just as Elijah, we must let it be known who our God is, how real He is, and that He is still in the miracle working business. Challenge these people to call on the name of Jay-Z, Kanye, and Beyonce to see what miracles they can work for them. Social media seems to be engulfed with challenges lately so I challenge the fans of each of the artists mentioned here to cry out to their idols while we call out to our GOD. I can assure you neither of them is concerned about a personal relationship with you, providing for you, protecting you, comforting you, and whatever else you need God for.  Let it be known who you worship.
