"Behold, God is great, and we know him not..."
(Job 36:26)
The Bible declares, in no uncertain terms, God is great. Therefore, it goes without saying, He does great things. He is not only great within Himself, but He accomplishes great things for His people. Even the heathen recognize this. In Psalm 126, we hear their testimony concerning God’s children: “The Lord hath done great things for them.” This is followed by the Lord’s people saying, “The Lord hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad.”
As you read the history of the early Christians in the Book of Acts, you are impressed with how these primitive believers were daily telling of God doing great things in their lives—conversions, healings, miracles, needs met, enemies put down, personal victories, the list is unending. They were literally awestruck at God’s greatness.
Something terrible is happening today in the assemblies of God’s elect. No longer do we hear testimonies of our great God doing great things for His people. What is presented is an anemic, powerless, God, Who is bedridden. Elijah made fun of the god of the heathen because of his inability to help them; today, the heathen are laughing at our God, they believe He cannot do great things for us.
My question is not that of the prophet of old, “Where is the Lord God of Elijah?” But rather, "Where is the Elijah of the Lord God."
