1.  Eliyahu means "my G-d is Yahu."  Yah is a proper noun.  Yahu means our Yah.  We see in the Tanahk, the Father's name as Y'ah spelled by the Hebrew letters yud and hay or Yahovah spelled by the letters Yud Hay Vuv Hay.  So, we have the y,h,v,and h consonants in his name.  Vowels were not in the written bible text.  We cannot know the correct pronunciation.  Why is Jehovah NOT the correct pronunciation of the Hebrew name of G-d?  For a more definitive answer, go to our page about G-d's name by clicking here

      2.  Eliyahu was able to stand before the king of Israel, Ach'av.  Has Yahovah positioned you to speak to any leaders with a prophetic, corrective, or encouraging word?  What characteristics of Eliyahu could we build into our own lifestyle so that we would be used more by Yahovah to bring people closer to him?

3. We don't see any hesitation or arguing when Eliyahu hears from Yahovah.  He hears and acts. When someone calls you on the phone you recognize a familiar voice.  You should recognize your Father Yahovah's voice.  Ask Yahovah to help you to listen more effectively.  Take time to be totally quiet in your prayer time and to be Yahovah conscious throughout your day.  How can you know, because you know, because you know, you have heard from Yahovah?

4. I once knew a lady who witnessed to a non-believer about Yeshua.  She had prayed for his deaf ears and he received all of his hearing.  In her enthusiasm, she asked him if he was ready to accept "Jesus," (they were both Gentiles).  He said, "No."  What does the widow say when her son is healed?  Was Yahovah her god before the healing? Afterwards, is her first thought to give credit to Yahovah? What should we do that is different from new age practitioners before we pray for someone?

5.  Eliyahu said to Ach'av "As Yahovah the God of Isra'el lives, before whom I stand, there will be neither rain nor dew in the years ahead unless I say so."  Eliyahu speaks with authority and confidence.  He doesn't water down the proclamation of his assignment.  About eleven years ago a single woman left the U.S. to start Messianic Congregations in Latvia.  She went by herself because she KNEW G-d told her to go. There were many skeptics. Before she went there, there were no Messianic groups in the whole country. Now there are at least six groups. She was involved in starting three and the other three were established by encouragement of the first congregations. Are other people skeptical about your assignment?  What helps you to be able to stay focused on Yahovah's goal?

6.  Sometimes, perhaps we forget that our manufacturer can surely repair us.  He made us: He can fix us. We know that the same spirit that raised Yeshua from the dead can heal our bodies.  Eliyahu stretched himself out on a child three times and cried out to Yahovah: "Yahovah my G-d, please! Let this child's soul come back into him and the child's soul came back into him, and he revived. We know that Yeshua was able to raise the dead back to life.  Here is a common person, who prays to Yahovah and watches as the dead person's soul returns to his body.  How many times have you been to the doctor this year?  What can you do to save time and money the next time you get ill or injured?  What causes you to hesitate when you KNOW that Yahovah is telling you to pray for someone that is ill or has been injured? How can you overcome the hesitancy? 

        7.  After the boy had died, Eliyahu took the boy away from his mother and took him to an upper room.  Sometimes when we pray for the sick, we need to either remove ourselves from people who have unbelief or tell them we want to be alone with the person for whom we are praying. When would this  be inappropriate? What can you do if people are present who do not believe that Yahovah is able to heal? 

        8.  Yahovah  told Eliyahu that he had ordered ravens to feed him and they did.  Can you name three other times in the Holy Scriptures when animals helped to fulfill Yahovah 's plans in unusual ways.  Was each time before or after The Flood?  Can Yahovah  use animals in unusual ways today?

9.  Speaking to the widow, Eliyahu said, "this is what Yahovah the God of Isra'el, says:"  Eliyahu knew Yahovah 's voice and quoted him.   Has Yahovah ever told you to speak specific words to someone?  Were you bold enough to say, "this is what Yahovah says?"  What was it? What was the person's reaction?

10.  In studying Eliyahu so far, what is the most important trait that you have noticed in him that you would like to emulate?   

Spend a few minutes now meditating and praying about any issues that the Ruach Hakodesh (Holy Spirit) brought to your heart while taking this first Yeshua Connection study.
