Part 1-6: The Fire on Mount Carmel

Bible Reading:

1 Kings 18:1-4—"And it came to pass after many days that the word of the Lord came to Elijah, in the third year, saying, 'Go, present yourself to Ahab, and I will send rain on the earth.' So Elijah went to present himself to Ahab; and there was a severe famine in Samaria. And Ahab had called Obadiah, who was in charge of his house. (Now Obadiah feared the Lord greatly. For so it was, while Jezebel massacred the prophets of the Lord, that Obadiah had taken one hundred prophets and hidden them, fifty to a cave, and had fed them with bread and water.)"

1 Kings 18:16-24—"So Obadiah went to meet Ahab, and told him; and Ahab went to meet Elijah. Then it happened, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said to him, 'Is that you, O troubler of Israel?' And he answered, 'I have not troubled Israel, but you and your father’s house have, in that you have forsaken the commandments of the Lord and have followed the Baals. Now therefore, send and gather all Israel to me on Mount Carmel, the four hundred and fifty prophets of Baal, and the four hundred prophets of Asherah, who eat at Jezebel’s table.' So Ahab sent for all the children of Israel, and gathered the prophets together on Mount Carmel. And Elijah came to all the people, and said, 'How long will you falter between two opinions? If the Lord is God, follow Him; but if Baal, follow him.' But the people answered him not a word.Then Elijah said to the people, 'I alone am left a prophet of the Lord; but Baal’s prophets are four hundred and fifty men. Therefore let them give us two bulls; and let them choose one bull for themselves, cut it in pieces, and lay it on the wood, but put no fire under it; and I will prepare the other bull, and lay it on the wood, but put no fire under it. Then you call on the name of your gods, and I will call on the name of the Lord; and the God who answers by fire, He is God.' So all the people answered and said, 'It is well spoken.'"

1 Kings 18:30-40—"Then Elijah said to all the people, 'Come near to me.' So all the people came near to him. And he repaired the altar of the Lord that was broken down. And Elijah took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, to whom the word of the Lord had come, saying, 'Israel shall be your name.' Then with the stones he built an altar in the name of the Lord; and he made a trench around the altar large enough to hold two seahs of seed. And he put the wood in order, cut the bull in pieces, and laid it on the wood, and said, 'Fill four waterpots with water, and pour it on the burnt sacrifice and on the wood.' Then he said, 'Do it a second time,' and they did it a second time; and he said, 'Do it a third time,' and they did it a third time. So the water ran all around the altar; and he also filled the trench with water. And it came to pass, at the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, that Elijah the prophet came near and said, 'Lord God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, let it be known this day that You are God in Israel and I am Your servant, and that I have done all these things at Your word. Hear me, O Lord, hear me, that this people may know that You are the Lord God, and that You have turned their hearts back to You again.' Then the fire of the Lord fell and consumed the burnt sacrifice, and the wood and the stones and the dust, and it licked up the water that was in the trench. Now when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces; and they said, 'The Lord, He is God! The Lord, He is God!' And Elijah said to them, 'Seize the prophets of Baal! Do not let one of them escape!' So they seized them; and Elijah brought them down to the Brook Kishon and executed them there."

Torn Between Two Hearts

When Solomon ascended the throne, the fire before the temple ignited a revival in Israel, an unprecedented spiritual awakening. Not only did the glory of the Lord fill the temple, but the king and all the people rejoiced in their hearts at all the goodness the Lord had shown. It could be said that the revival had reached its peak. Sadly, in Solomon’s later years, he turned away from the commandments of the Lord. Seduced by his foreign wives, he followed other gods, and the flame of revival dimmed from blazing to flickering. After Solomon’s death, through several generations, by the time Ahab became king of Israel, the fire of revival had been extinguished—only ashes remained, a mournful remnant. The situation had become dark and terrifying. From the king down to the common people, all had fallen into a state of spiritual desolation and unimaginable decline.

1. Forsaking the Word of God

   From the time of King Ahab, nearly all the people of Israel had “forsaken the commandments of the Lord and followed the Baals.” (1 Kings 18:18) Just like in today’s generation, many of God’s people do not fully believe in His Word. Even among us here, brothers and sisters, it’s likely that most do not wholly trust the Word of God. For if we truly believed the Scriptures, our lives would be transformed and bear different fruit. Nowadays, many believers are indistinguishable from unbelievers. Numerous Christian communities have long ceased serving God according to His Word. In fact, they often follow human opinions and traditions more than they obey the commands of God.

2. Setting Up Idols

   Moreover, they “followed Baal” (1 Kings 18:18), with 450 prophets serving Baal and another 400 prophets of Asherah supported by Queen Jezebel—setting up idols apart from the Lord. This illustrates how God's people were no longer wholeheartedly relying on, loving, or serving the Lord. Instead, they secretly placed their trust, affection, and devotion in money, talent, power, and other people or things outside of God. At that time, God's people were already “wavering between two opinions” (1 Kings 18:21), no longer fully committed to following the Lord.

3. Hidden Testimony

   This passage also speaks of some sorrowful realities. Many prophets were killed, and although a hundred prophets of the Lord remained, they were hidden away. In other words, the visible testimony had been lost—only a hidden witness remained. Even the seven thousand whom the Lord preserved for His name were merely passive, having not bowed to Baal, but also not actively bearing witness for the Lord. I’m not saying there are no Christians in this generation, but the testimony of Christ is neither strong nor radiant. Beyond the majority of believers being unfaithful and disloyal to the Lord, even the few who love Him fail to live out a bright and bold testimony. These conditions reveal how God’s people have become double-minded and have fallen from a state of revival.

   
   

The Restoration of Revival

But our God is a God of action. The fire on Mount Carmel clearly reveals His desire to revive His ministry, His works, and His people. In the same way, God intends to restore His work in this present age. There are several key points about the restoration of revival that we need to understand.

1. God Initiates

   First and foremost, we must clearly understand that the work of revival is initiated by God—it is not something that can be achieved through human effort or striving. Though this point has been mentioned before, it bears repeating because of its great importance. Revival is always God's initiative. In 1 Kings 18:1, it says: “The word of the Lord came to Elijah: ‘Go and present yourself to Ahab, and I will send rain on the land.’” It was the Lord who sent Elijah; Elijah did not volunteer himself to do God's work. He was in hiding, helpless and in refuge, when the Lord came to seek him, call him, and speak to him: “Go and present yourself to Ahab, and I will send rain on the land.”

   At that time, the land had suffered a long drought and famine, under the judgment and wrath of God. Now, God was rising to restore His own work. Who initiated this? It was God. So to be honest, although we care about the church, the Lord cares even more. Though we long for revival, the Lord longs for it even more. It was the word of the Lord that came to Elijah; it was God who called him, who sent him, and who actively stepped forward to restore His work of revival. This is the first truth we must recognize.

2. God’s Timing

   Another crucial point to understand is that the work of revival comes according to God’s timing. In 1 Kings 18:1, it says, “After a long time, in the third year, the word of the Lord came to Elijah.” The phrase “after a long time” shows that revival requires patience and waiting. We all long for a great revival to sweep across the earth today—and surely the Lord will act, and He desires to do so. But here it says, “after a long time,” reminding us that we must patiently wait for the Lord’s appointed time. Sometimes we hope our children will love the Lord, our parents will receive grace, and our brothers and sisters will serve the Lord with fervent hearts. Yet they may not respond as we wish. As a result, we become discouraged, thinking the Lord doesn’t hear our prayers and that there’s no hope. But do not lose heart. “After a long time” means we must endure to the end and keep waiting—revival will come.

   God’s word specifically mentions “the third year.” The number three represents the Triune God, so “the third year” symbolizes God’s appointed time. When His time arrives, revival breaks forth. Scripture says, “There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens… a time to heal, a time to tear down, and a time to build” (Ecclesiastes 3:1, 3). Everything has its appointed time. Once God’s time comes, revival will arrive. Though we speak of the fire of revival, the authority rests entirely in the Lord’s hands. He initiates revival Himself, and it comes according to His timing.

3. Talent, Power, and Methods Cannot Bring Revival

   We see how the Lord used Elijah—and likewise, He desires to use us. But before He does, He wants us to deeply understand and clearly recognize that human talent, influence, and strategies are of no use in the sacred work of revival. At that time, there was a man named Obadiah, the steward of King Ahab’s household. He feared the Lord and even hid a hundred of the Lord’s prophets. He had ability and authority, yet he could not bring about revival. At most, he secretly honored the Lord and protected His prophets from harm—but Obadiah did not usher in revival.

   Furthermore, although there were a hundred prophets of the Lord, which is not a small number, they too could not bring revival. Even when adding the seven thousand who had not bowed to Baal, they had no part, no connection, and no remembrance in the revival. This shows that human talent, power, and all human methods are incapable of initiating revival. The only key to revival lies entirely in the fire on Mount Carmel.

The Fire on Mount Carmel Rekindled the People’s Faith

That day, fire fell from heaven onto Mount Carmel! When the people saw it, they fell facedown and cried, “The Lord is God! The Lord is God!” The people all abandoned Baal and turned back to the Lord. Revival broke out among them! This shows that only the fire on Mount Carmel—symbolizing the Holy Spirit—can bring true revival. That’s why Zechariah 4:6 says, “'Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit,' says the Lord of Hosts." It wasn’t through Obadiah, nor through the hundred prophets, nor through the seven thousand who had not bowed to Baal in secret. It was through the fire from heaven on Mount Carmel. Not by might or power, not by chariots or horses, not by strategies or wisdom…but by the fire from heaven—the Spirit of the Lord, the Holy Spirit—can the work of revival be accomplished. So now, let us examine how the fire on Mount Carmel came down. We’ll highlight a few key points.

1. Rebuilding the Broken Altar of the Lord

   The first thing Elijah did was to rebuild the altar of the Lord that had been torn down. We know that the altar symbolizes the cross of Christ. In terms of spiritual experience, we can explore this from three key aspects:

   1. The Power of the Precious Blood

      The first aspect of rebuilding the altar is the restoration of the power of Christ’s precious blood. It’s not that the blood of Christ has lost its effectiveness, but rather that our consciences have become numb and unresponsive. Now we must rise up, receive the Lord’s illumination, and seek cleansing through His blood. As 1 John 1:7 says, “If we walk in the light… the blood of Jesus cleanses us from all sin.” This is the foundation of God’s work of restoration—do not take it lightly, and certainly do not neglect it.

   2. Renewed Dedication

      The second aspect of this spiritual experience is renewed dedication. The altar has been torn down, symbolizing the loss of a life truly consecrated to the Lord. Before the altar is rebuilt, we cannot expect the fire from Mount Carmel to descend. Though we may have dedicated ourselves in the past and once had an altar, that altar is now broken, and we are no longer living a life of dedication. In truth, our daily living has lost its essence of consecration. The altar is destroyed and invisible—only a faint trace remains. Therefore, today we must rededicate ourselves and rebuild the broken altar. That’s why, during this mountain gathering, we must all renew our dedication!

      Scripture specifically records: “Elijah took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob.” The twelve stones represent the twelve tribes, meaning the altar must be built by all of God’s people—every brother and sister restored to a life of dedication. During yesterday afternoon’s group prayer, we said that if any brother or sister had not yet dedicated themselves, we should help them pray. That’s because the altar cannot be built with eight, nine, ten, or even eleven stones—it must be twelve. In God’s eyes, He desires full dedication from all of us. Each person must offer themselves, forming a complete altar, rebuilding what was broken, so that the fire from Mount Carmel may descend.

      Moreover, it says “the tribes of Jacob,” not “the tribes of Israel.” The name Jacob refers to our corrupt, selfish, and deceitful nature. So building the altar with the twelve tribes of Jacob means offering ourselves to God just as we are—flawed and broken—not waiting until we’re “fixed” to dedicate ourselves. So dear brothers and sisters, if anyone among you has not yet dedicated your life to God, seize this opportunity to offer yourself. Join with the saints as twelve stones to rebuild the altar, so that God may send down His holy fire from Mount Carmel!

   3. Putting the Self-Life to Death

      The third aspect of rebuilding the altar is the experience of putting the self-life to death. The altar is not built merely as a model to be displayed—it is meant for the calf to be slaughtered, placed upon it, cut into pieces, and burned to ashes. This represents the deeper work of the cross. Brothers and sisters, in terms of experience, we are all offerings. The first step is to slaughter the sacrifice. Paul said, “I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me.” Killing the sacrifice (the calf) signifies our experience of dying with Christ on the cross. We thank the Lord Jesus that when He died on the cross, He not only bore our sins and shed His precious blood to cleanse us, but He also crucified our old self with Him. This is a glorious truth—praise the Lord! The calf has already been slain; we have already been crucified with Christ.

      But God’s Word doesn’t stop at the slaughter—it also requires the calf to be “cut into pieces”. The slain calf must be cut into parts and placed on the wood. This signifies the deeper work of the cross. In terms of truth, we have already been crucified with Christ. But in terms of daily experience, we must be cut into pieces every day—meaning we must put the self-life to death daily. The apostle Paul said in Romans 8:13, “If by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.” This is what it means.

      In truth, you and I have already been crucified—that’s recorded in Romans chapter 6. But in daily experience, the work of the cross deepens continually. It must work in us every day to put the self-life to death. This is the daily cutting into pieces—cutting one piece today, another tomorrow, and another the day after. Keep cutting: the chest, the abdomen, the waist, the legs, the hands, the feet—until every part of the body is cut into pieces. Today, the Holy Spirit comes with the cross of Jesus within us, working daily to put the self-life to death. This is what Romans chapter 8 refers to: “by the Spirit put to death the deeds of the body.” We must remember that the Holy Spirit within us today carries the cross and is constantly working to put our self-life to death.

      In Galatians 3:1, Paul says, “O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? Before your very eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed as crucified.” This revelation comes from the Holy Spirit—it is the Spirit who opens our eyes and brings us into the experience of the cross. On the other hand, the Holy Spirit carries out the work of putting our soul-life to death daily. He deals with our self-centered nature, putting it to death day by day, cutting it into pieces day by day. Therefore, we must remain in constant fellowship with the Lord, obey the Spirit, and live in the Spirit. When we do, our old nature and flesh will naturally be stripped away, because the Spirit brings the death of the cross into us and works daily to put our self-life to death.

      Dear brothers and sisters, the more you pray and commune deeply with the Lord, the more you’ll find your old nature falling away. Sometimes, while enjoying sweet fellowship with the Lord, you’ll notice that situations which would normally provoke anger no longer do. Because the Holy Spirit, through the cross, has dealt with your flesh. Your new self, your spirit, is released. As Paul says, “There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death.” That day becomes a victorious one. But if you don’t draw near to the Lord, your flesh will take over. Because the Spirit has no place in you and cannot carry out the crucifying work. So I urge you to live daily in the Spirit and allow Him to put your old self to death. Then the powerful effect of the cross will be revealed in you.

      There is also another deeper aspect of the cross, as described in 2 Corinthians 4:10–11: “We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body. For we who are alive are always being given over to death for Jesus’ sake, so that His life may be revealed in our mortal body.” This means we constantly bear the death of Jesus in our bodies. The Lord often places us in situations of death. God arranges environments perfectly suited to us so that our fleshly nature must die. He knows exactly what we need and orchestrates it to bring us to the place of death. So that we carry the death of Jesus and His life may be revealed in us.

      For example, many young believers love freedom and dislike restrictions. They want to act as they please. Yet the Lord may arrange for them to have strict parents—stricter than most. While other parents may give their children freedom, yours may monitor everything: your studies, your friendships, your activities. You may feel annoyed and resent their interference. But God uses your parents to place your reckless nature into death, so you can no longer act freely. Eventually, you submit and accept the discipline, and your “arbitrary self” dies. This is what it means to carry the death of Jesus and be handed over to death for His sake. It’s the deeper work of the cross. We must humbly accept every person, situation, and environment that God uses to put our self-life to death. This is the deeper experience of cutting the calf into pieces. There was a sister with several children. Her eldest was obedient, but her second son was bright and academically successful, so she favored him. Yet he was disobedient. The more she hoped in him, the more God disappointed her. Eventually, he became passionate about dancing, and she couldn’t control him. God reminded her that she loved her son more than she loved the Lord. So she surrendered him to God. Miraculously, her son stopped dancing. God truly works—wherever death is needed, He raises up the environment to bring our self-life to death.

      If you are a proud person, the Lord will use circumstances to bring you failure so that you must become humble. If you love money as your life, God will raise up situations that make you weary of wealth. If you love your family above all else, God will cause you to be disappointed in your family. If you cherish vanity and reputation, God will ensure you are humilated and shamed. I used to be someone who always had ideas—quick to speak and full of opinions. But by the Lord’s mercy, over the past six or seven years, He has placed me under His throne’s control, teaching me to live a life of surrender. Now I hardly dare to assert my own ideas anymore—this is the Lord’s work. In recent years, whenever I insisted on my own plans, the results were often wrong and ended in failure. For example, I once insisted that the church should immediately begin evangelizing, and everyone followed—but the Lord did not confirm it. I had to admit my mistake and ask for His forgiveness. Time and again, anything born of my own opinion led to failure. Gradually, I stopped daring to assert myself. The Lord uses many sacrifices, many methods, and many circumstances to work in us—putting us to death, cutting us into pieces—until we unconditionally bow before Him. This is the deeper meaning of the altar experience.

      Remember, in the Old Testament, the most intense fire from heaven came in this context. On Mount Carmel, when the fire fell, it consumed not only the burnt offering but also the wood, stones, dust—even the water in the trench was dried up. This symbolizes the most powerful and thorough work of the Holy Spirit. If we want the fire of Mount Carmel—the most intense and penetrating work of the Spirit — we must go through the experience of the cross. The deeper our experience of the cross, the stronger the fire falls, and the more powerful and evident the Spirit’s work becomes. If we only accept a little of the cross, then the fire will only be a little. This is a reciprocal relationship.

      First comes the experience of the cross at Golgotha, then the outpouring and filling of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. Elisha had the same pattern—only after crossing the Jordan did he receive the double portion of Elijah’s spirit. The widow first prepared empty vessels, and then the oil was poured into them. All of this shows that we must first go through a deeper experience of the cross before we can receive greater revival fire and stronger work of the Spirit. In the Old Testament, the holy anointing oil could not be poured on flesh. If our flesh has not been cut off and put to death by the cross, the fire will not fall powerfully, and the Holy Spirit will not work deeply in us. So you cannot be full of flesh and still pray, “Lord, pour out Your Spirit on me, fill me, I want to dedicate myself to You, use me.” That prayer cannot be answered. You must first deeply accept the cross’s work of putting the flesh to death—then the Holy Spirit can work powerfully and use you.

      Galatians 5:19–21 says, “The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity, debauchery, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions, envy, drunkenness, orgies, and the like.” Look at all these things—if the Holy Spirit shines deeply into our motives, thoughts, actions, and conduct, we will see that we are full of flesh. How much we need the cross to cut and put to death our flesh—then the work of the Spirit and the fire of revival will come upon us in great measure.

2. The Testimony of Faith

   Elijah not only cut the bull into pieces and laid them on the wood, but he went further by digging a trench around the altar and pouring twelve jars of water over the burnt offering and the wood. The water flowed around the altar and filled the trench. This was an act of faith—a testimony of faith. He believed that God would send fire from heaven to consume the soaking-wet sacrifice and turn it to ashes. This was a powerful demonstration of great faith. Brothers and sisters, the fire on Mount Carmel is always tied to the foundation of great faith. Scripture clearly shows us that we “receive the promised Spirit through faith” (Galatians 3:14). The outpouring and filling of the Holy Spirit comes on the basis of faith. By faith, the Spirit is poured out and fills us. The work of the Holy Spirit is always revealed through human faith. That’s why Jesus Himself said, “If you believe, you will see the glory of God” (John 11:40). For the fire of revival to fall on Mount Carmel, there must be vessels of faith and testimonies of faith on earth—this is God’s principle of operation.

   Brothers and sisters, you and I must be witnesses of faith. The apostle told the Hebrew believers, “Since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses… let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith” (Hebrews 12:1–2). Because when you look at Jesus, faith arises. We ourselves have no faith—we are like mirrors facing the sun. A mirror has no sunlight in itself, but when it turns toward the sun, the sun enters the mirror. Likewise, we have no faith in ourselves, but Jesus is the source of faith. When we fix our eyes on Him, faith enters us immediately. So we must look to Jesus, continually gaze upon Him, and our faith will increase. If you look to other people, things, or circumstances, your faith will collapse. If Elijah had focused on the prophets of Baal—who danced wildly, shouted frantically, even cut themselves with swords and spears until they bled, yet saw no fire fall—his faith might have wavered. But he trusted in God. He knew God. He looked to God alone. He was a great witness of faith, and that’s why the fire of revival fell on Mount Carmel.

3. Fervent Prayer Born of Faith from Knowing the Living God

   Then Elijah prayed. He said, “O Lord, God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel!” He knew the Lord he believed in was the “God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel” (Matthew 22:32)—the God of the living, the God who reveals Himself through faith. He recognized God as eternal, almighty, and fully responsible. Because he knew God, he offered a prayer of faith. Brothers and sisters, God is the God of the living, not of the dead. The “living” refers to those of us who live by faith. In other words, God reveals Himself as God through our faith. Elijah’s prayer to the “God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel” was a declaration of faith—and the Lord responded by sending fire from heaven. Brothers and sisters, when we pray in faith, the Holy Spirit is poured out. We know the Spirit most readily descends when we praise the Lord, because praise is the expression of victorious faith. When faith reaches its peak, it becomes praises—and then the fire of the Spirit falls.

   Elijah’s prayer was not only one of victorious faith, but also of deep fervency. He cried out, “O Lord, answer me! Answer me, so that these people will know that You, O Lord, are God.” He repeated “hear me” twice—showing the urgency and sincerity of his plea. James writes, “Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly” (James 5:17). Elijah prayed with faith and fervency, and immediately the fire fell on Mount Carmel. Likewise, at Pentecost, the fire of the Holy Spirit came down as a result of persistent prayer.

4. The Holy Spirit Comes to Bear Witness to Jesus

   When the people saw the holy fire fall on Mount Carmel, they fell facedown and cried out, “The Lord—He is God! The Lord—He is God!” There was no other god. Just as the fire on Mount Carmel testified to the Lord, so too the coming of the Holy Spirit bears witness to Jesus Christ. In His farewell discourse, the Lord Jesus said, “When the Advocate comes, whom I will send to you from the Father—the Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father—He will testify about Me” (John 15:26). The primary purpose of the Holy Spirit’s coming is to testify of Jesus. Whether the Spirit is poured out upon us, fills us, or works in various ways, His ultimate goal is to bear witness to Jesus. And when the people declared, “The Lord—He is God,” it meant that when the Spirit moves, God’s people are revived and return to the Lord, becoming witnesses of Jesus Christ. The Spirit’s work always draws us into the testimony of Jesus—that He alone is Lord, and Christ alone is King.

   Therefore, before the fire fell on Mount Carmel, even though we could preach extensively about Jesus, it had little effect. Only when the Holy Spirit comes and bears witness to Jesus as the Christ—causing people to see, believe in, and worship the Lord Jesus—does He receive glory and take His rightful place as first in all things. Dear brothers and sisters, let us not disobey the vision, we should bear witness to the Lord Jesus, by then we may bring in the work of the Spirit as represented by the fire on Mount Carmel. Only then can we truly testify of Jesus Christ.

5. The Son of God appeared to destroy the works of the devil.

   Because fire came down on Mount Carmel, all the people cried out, “The Lord—He is God! The Lord—He is God!” The Lord revealed Himself through fire, and as a result, all the prophets of Baal were destroyed. This signifies the coming and working of the Holy Spirit—Christ revealed through the Spirit—leading to the collapse of Satan’s power. For “The Son of God appeared for this purpose, to destroy the works of the devil.” (1 John 3:8) When the Holy Spirit works, He testifies of Christ, and the works of the devil are torn down. The whole church is revived. May the Lord raise up more people in this generation to bring forth the fire of Mount Carmel!
