1 Kings 17–19

 Elder Gordon B. Hinckley said: “I draw strength from a simple statement made concerning the Prophet Elijah, who warned King Ahab of drought and famine to come upon the land. But Ahab scoffed. And the Lord told Elijah to go and hide himself by the brook Cherith, that there he should drink of the brook, and that he would be fed by the ravens. And the scripture records a simple and wonderful statement: ‘So he went and did according unto the word of the Lord.’ (1 Kings 17:5.)1 Kings 17:5 “There was no arguing. There was no excusing. There was no equivocating. Elijah simply ‘went and did according unto the word of the Lord.’ And he was saved from the terrible calamities that befell those who scoffed and argued and questioned”

By what power was Elijah able to bring the widow’s son back to life? PRIESTHOOD Interesting: v21 And he a stretched himself upon the child three times, and cried unto the Lord, and said, O Lord my God, I pray thee, let this child’s b soul come into him again. stretched soul

And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between a two opinions? if the Lord be God, b follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word. two follow “The Magic Show”. -Trench Filled with water -4 barrels of water 3 times

 When a news reporter asked President Hinckley how he communicates with God, the prophet responded, “I think the best way I could describe the process is to liken it to the experience of Elijah as set forth in the book of First Kings. Elijah spoke to the Lord, and there was a wind, a great wind, and the Lord was not in the wind. And there was an earthquake, and the Lord was not in the earthquake. And there was a fire, and the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire a still, small voice, which I describe as the whisperings of the Spirit” (in Conference Report, Oct. 1996, 71; or Ensign, Nov. 1996, 51).

 Why was Elijah discouraged? (See 1 Kings 19:10, 14.1 Kings 19:10, 14  Despite the people’s response to God’s spectacular display of power, Elijah felt that he was the only Israelite left who worshiped the true God.) What did he do to gain peace? (See 1 Kings 19:4, 8. He prayed and fasted.)1 Kings 19:4, 8  What can we learn from Elijah’s experience to help us if we feel discouraged, depressed, or despairing?
