The New Life In Christ: So the woman said to Elijah, “Now I know that you are a man of God, and that the word of the LORD in your mouth is truth.” 1Kings 17:24.

Elijah said to her, ‘Do not be afraid; go and do as you have said; but first make me a little cake of it and bring it to me, and afterwards make something for yourself and your son…She went and did as Elijah said…The jar of meal was not emptied, neither did the jug of oil fail, according to the word of the LORD that he spoke by Elijah.

After this the son of the woman…became ill; his illness was so severe that there was no breath left in him. She then said to Elijah, “What have you against me, O man of God? You have come to me to bring my son to remembrance, and to cause the death of my son!...He cried out to the LORD, “O LORD my God, let this child’s life come to him again, and he revived….then Elijah said, “See, your son is alive.” So the woman said to Elijah, “Now I know that you are a man of God, and that the word of the LORD in your mouth is truth.” 1Kings 17:13-24.

If a prophet speaks in the name of the LORD but the thing does not take place or prove true, it is a word that the LORD has not spoken. The Prophet has spoken it presumptuously; do not be frightened by it. Deuteronomy 18:22. Amen.
