The Rising “Elijah
Generation”
5 Characteristics of the Rising
“Elijah Generation” in this Hour
The
Spirit of the Lord that God is raising up not just a single man in this hour,
but an entire generation that will be a “Last Days” remnant that will have the
same spirit and zeal as Elijah and not coward down but confront the evil of our
day
Ricky Scaparo
When I
study the life of Elijah the Prophet and the timing of when he came on the
scene to confront the evil and wicked rule and reign of Ahab and Jezebel as
well as confronting a generation of compromise, I can’t help but see by the
Spirit of the Lord that God is raising up not just a single man in this hour,
but an entire generation that will be a “Last Days” remnant that will
have the same spirit and zeal as Elijah and not coward down but confront the
evil of our day!
The
following are five traits of Elijah that I believe will be seen again.
1 Elijah showed up to Ahab during a severe famine in the
land.
Elijah
the prophet appeared during a time of political tyranny and great wickedness
from the leadership, and its administration in power.
When we
take a look at the parallel of this with the current administration and even
what may be coming down the road, we can see a scary pattern taking place.
Elijah
was manifest to confront the powers that be and bring the nation back to the
living God!
It
doesn’t take anyone with a lot of discernment and spiritual insight to
know that we have encountered and, could very well continue to encounter a
famine of another Great Awakening, or outpouring, of God’s Spirit on a national
level.
The
churches of America are now full of entertainment, dead sermons, and complacent
saints operating in no power or apostolic anointing.
Our
churches are getting bigger and bigger while the signs and wonders are
diminishing quickly, emphasizing what the apostle Paul said in 2 Timothy 3:5,
that the last day’s churches would have a form of godliness but deny the power
thereof and from such turn away.
This
last-days Elijah generation is going to rise in the midst of this great
spiritual drought and prepare the way of the Lord with an uncompromising
message of repentance followed by demonstration and power!
They
will declare with authority “thus sayeth the Lord” to the nation that
has turned its back on God.
2 Real prophets and people of God who spoke in the name of the
Lord were persecuted
Jezebel
massacred the prophets of the Lord in the time of Elijah, and today we see a
great attack on the modern-day prophets and people of God who speak anything
negative or deemed to be offensive.
Ministers
are now told not to preach on hell, repentance, and even sin because it will
turn members away from the church, resulting in fear and intimidation to
ministers of the gospel to preach the gospel with fire and conviction.
But
this last-days army God is raising up will preach as Elijah and John the
Baptist, with fire and conviction, with “thus saith the Lord!” and will
not be concerned with the consequences it may have.
3 Obadiah feared the Lord and reserved a remnant of God’s
prophets.
There
will be a remnant of God’s people that will still respect the office of the
prophet and fear the Word of the Lord.
Today
we are witnessing an unprecedented level of compromise in the body of Christ
with churches lowering the standard and watering down the message resulting in
the use of all forms of silly entertainment with the hopes of attracting
people.
These
churches are void of the Holy Spirit, conviction, and the power of God!
America
has now embraced major false religions and their gods while rejecting and
condemning those who represent the one true God!
Later
on, in the story of Elijah, the Lord reveals to the prophet that there was a
remnant of God’s people that had not bowed their knees to the false gods of
Baal.
There
is and will be a remnant of God’s people that will not bow to the false gods of
the devil and will serve the true God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
The
time of separating the wheat from the chaff, the sheep from the goat has come
to the body of Christ.
4 Elijah repaired the altar of the Lord.
The
Bible tells us that Elijah repaired the altar of the Lord and today we have
come to a time were preaching and church services are entirely different than
even 20 years ago.
I
remember when the altars of the house of God would be full of souls giving
their hearts to the Lord and people being delivered and set free.
Men and
women of God would come hours early to the services and be at the altars in
intercession and travail over lost souls who would come through the doors of the
church.
Today
in many mainline denominations and churches, this is a thing in the past.
We have
back rooms for prayer and deliverance and even for people receiving salvation,
and trying to gather saints to come even 30 minutes before the service to
pray is nearly impossible anymore.
Thus,
the altar of the Lord has been torn down. It is the altar where I gave my heart
to the Lord; it’s where people are changed and in the Old Testament, it is
where the sacrifices of God were made.
I
believe God is raising up a remnant in this hour that will restore these
principles back to the church, a generation that will repair the altar in this
hour!
5 Elijah prayed with his face to the Earth seven times.
The
Bible says that Elijah prayed for rain seven times while hearing in his spirit
the sound of an abundance of rain.
And
eventually, on the seventh time, the rains fell.
This is
a picture of this last-days remnant that will be the “rainmakers,” intercessors
who will continue to pray in the “latter-day rains,” of God’s presence and
power in the last days in the midst of chaos and uncertainty.
The
Lord is looking to restore those intercessors like Moses, who stood in the gap
for Israel and turned the heart of God when the Lord was about to destroy them.
He is
looking for an Abraham who will go into the enemy’s camp to save his own
bloodline from hell and destruction.
He’s
looking for an Esther in this hour who is willing to risk it all to save her
nation.
He’s
looking for those who are desperate for revival and awakening in this dark hour
of humanity!
Do you
hear the sound of an abundance of rain coming again?
