Fathering & The Spirit of Elijah

 

“Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet
Before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord.
And he will turn
The hearts of the fathers to the children,
And the hearts of the children to their fathers,
Lest I come and strike the earth with a curse.”  Malachi 4:5-6

• John The Baptist came in The Spirit & Power of Elijah.
• Many today are coming in The Spirit & Power of Elijah.

The Spirit of Elijah turns hearts.

• It turns the hearts of The Fathers to The Children.
• It turns the hearts of The Children to their Fathers.

The Power of Elijah does the works of Elijah.

• Elijah was the first to raise the dead.
• John The Baptist did no Miracles.
• What he did was turn hearts.
• He turned the hearts of Israel to Yeshua.

 

Who seeks who?

• We don’t seek a Father as a Son.
• We seek a Father as a Child.
• Fathers aren’t to seek Sons.
• They are to seek Children who will become Sons.
• Both seek each other.
• But it is Fathers with The Spirit of Elijah who initiate the seeking.
• The Spirit of Elijah turns the hearts of Fathers & Children towards one another.
