Elijah challenged the prophets of Baal to a duel on Mt. Carmel. He dared them to call on Baal to send fire. From morning to evening they cried. Satan had no response. With the prophets of Baal exhausted and defeated, Elijah \u201crepaired the altar of the Lord\u201d (1 Kings 18:30 NASB).<\/p>\n

Twelve stones symbolizing the twelve tribes of Israel. They saturated the altar with water three times so that everything was soaked. Then Elijah prayed. He didn\u2019t even request fire. But the Lord sent it. A blaze from heaven consumed the water, the rocks, the wood, even the dust. For the first time in three generations, the nation of Israel cried to Jehovah, \u201cThe Lord, He is God!\u201d (1 Kings 18:39 NASB).<\/p>\n

Is it time for our generation to rebuild the altar?<\/p>\n
