Life of Elijah- the path of the Justice minister

Elijah passionately embraced an unpopular position as he faced the prophets of Baal and Asherah in a showdown of righteousness and justice. Licentious social opinion, ( Jezebel) the religious majority ( compromised Israel and the priests of Baal) and the head of the national government ( Ahab) in a unique, but not rare demonic alignment poised against him.

Elijah is not the exception, he is the rule. He is the example, type and shadow of every person that prophetically speaks up for what is right. The situation back then is the same as it is today. False spirituality characterized by compromise and endorsement of murder of innocent children and sexual slavery all in the name of religious freedom, tolerance and of course profit.

Elijah's love for his his God, his nation and righteousness compelled him unrestrained to stand up against the unrighteousness. The brainwashed, medicated society is unable to see the issues as clearly as the Elijah's and will always accuse Elijah of causing the problems. Why rock the boat and make a mountain out of a molehill?

The Elijah's stand on the word of God to declare his judgments and his grace and even in famine and drought caused by their own word and decision to step out, they are provided for by the Lord at the brook Kidron ( I kings 17) when all others are looking to Ahab and blaming Elijah.

The Elijahs will be tempted to change their word from drought to rain, when the brook dries up, but if they listen to the Lord, they will be instructed to move into covenant relationship with the widows and orphans of Zarephath ( not the governors or kings), where not only the widows and orphans needs are met, but their own and the Lord will be blessed and honored.

Wow!!! You said, "Elijah's love for his God, his nation and righteousness compelled him unrestrained to stand up against the unrighteousness.

Overflow Ministries International- focus

Mike is an abolitionist, with an intense desire to make a difference in the lives of those ( especially children) whose lives are controlled by forced labor and sex slavery. He is a missionary revivalist which means his purpose is to re-kindle the faith and passion in those who have lost it or ignite it in those who have never had it. Mike is a prophetic intercessor/teacher with a seer gifting that enables him to speak with authority and compassion in the revelation of God's heart to the individual as well as the church, with an emphasis on healing and deliverance of the whole person, (physical, emotional, spiritual).

2-3 times a week he ministers in the market place, So. Cal local churches and also the healing rooms at the Refuge HOP in Rancho Cucamonga, operating in signs, visions and words of knowledge.

Mike's desire is to pursue and experience the reality of the kingdom of heaven come to earth and the kingdom's continual expansion in influence and power. In the overflow, the ambassadors of the kingdom walk in the freedom of their identity and in authority with the purpose of fulfilling their commission of finding among the nations Christ's bride and preparing Christ's bride for her end time rule.

Mike's platform is the base of the cross where Christ finished the work. He believes that all of our ministry is ultimately to the Lord Jesus Christ and it is only through the intimacy and pleasure of being in his presence that we can effect any real change for ourselves or for others.

Mike believes that our goal as disciples is to be Christlike and to be Christlike is to abide in the vine and do the things that Christ did and commissioned every believer to do. To bring freedom to the captives in every capacity including: healing the sick, raising the dead, casting out demons, giving generously to the poor, bringing justice, and declaring the kingdom's authority which manifests as righteousness/justice, peace and joy. Mike longs for cities and nations to turn to God transformed by his power and the overflow of his love and presence.

Mike is excited and enthusiastic about the paradigm shift that is taking place in the authority structure of the church. The Apostolic order of the church is being restored, which is evidenced by mutual submission of the office gifts. The supremacy and primacy of vision casting and the revelation of God's heart is again coming through Apostles and prophets who are birthing strategies from Revelation knowledge, dreams, visions and encounters.

Mike is adamant that the church needs to unplug from the matrix and see what is really happening in the spiritual realm. The supernatural ministry of Angels ( and demons) is far more extensive than most believers realize. We are walking way below our authority to extend his kingdom here in this earthly realm and also neglecting our access to God's throne.
