Restoration of Elijah (1 Kings 19:5-18)," by J. Hampton Keathley III at the Biblical Studies Foundation.
| "Of all the chapters on the life
and ministry of Elijah, 1 Kings 19 is, in my opinion, the most instructive and, in many

failure." |

on 1 Kings 19:1-18, Dennis Bratcher, Christian Resource Institute.
| "I grew up in a farming area with
diverse crops. Sometimes prayers were interesting. The cotton and corn farmers needed rain
to get the crop started. The wheat and alfalfa farmers wanted sunshine to finish
harvesting. I wondered how God decided. Does God actually arrange when and where it
rains?" |

ministry." |
