1 kings 19v9
And he came thither unto a cave and lodged there; and behold, the word of the lord came to him and he said unto him, What doest thou here Elijah? V-11 and he said go forth and stand upon the mount before the Lord.

Elijah ran and hid in a cave. He was running from Jezebel who threatened to kill him. So he went a days journey into the wilderness to Horeb, the mountain of God and hid inside a cave. Now when we think of a cave what do you see? A place of darkness sheltered from the world, A place of isolation? A hiding place? A covering from outside influences? Doesnt sound like a bad idea to me....It was in this darkness of a cave that the word of God came to Elijah!
Elijah stated how bad he felt being the only Prophet left....and alone....with a crazy woman trying to kill him,.But God would not let him find death, he had a ministry as a Prophet to continue on. God tells him in the cave to arise and stand on the mountain.
When he stood there God had him see and feel 3 things!
1st a wind rent by and brake rocks into pieces but he says the Lord was not in the wind. 2nd an earthquake came but the Lord was not in the earthquake, then a fire but the Lord he says was not in the fire but after the fire came then a small still voice!
There are times we may find ourselves depressed withdrawn to a cave in a place of hiding..maybe from a Jezebel type situation. but God calls us to come out of the cave to come stand of the mountain. what mountain? A mountain of prophetic foundation? A mountain of holy fire? whats your mountain?
There are some things we may see on that mountain or feel. Strong winds of emotion turmoil riping through us at times but breaking the hard rocks of obstacles before us.
But God is not in the wind perhaps it is sent as a trial to test us, refine us as for the days comming of greater revelation.....The day we can stand confident before God as his Prophet! the earthquake come and shook everything we stood upon.Can you take a prophetic shaking? Ever had one? Life is not comfortable when we are shaken by our problems in health, family or even or enemies. But God is not in the Earthquake., it is a circumstance leading to strengthen...an instrument of greater opportunity to come!
prophetic strength.....Then the fire came. this fire burned your very soul, nothing is left your alone burned up in the fires of trials tha t haunt you, the heat of pressure, stress, pain till even in after that fire that purifies it say only then did Elijah hear a small still voice. V-13 and the voice asks him "What doest thou here Elijah"?
God asks us what we our doing?
What is bothering us that we should hide away?
withdraw
Why are we hiding in our caves?
running away inour stress?
In this place of aloneness and rejection running from his enemies...that then God gives him a direction and order to return to the Wilderness .
he gave him 3 orders what to do.
1. go anoint Hazael to be king over syria
2. go anoint Jehu as king over Israel
3. go anoint Elisha to be a Prophet
go anoint...go anoint....
Then God showed him there was no need to fear and run away, "yet have I 7000 left in Israel". Surely then Elijah could boldly face only 450 prophets but in fear he fled from
Jezebel anger and domination.

I prophecy unto us today to come out of our caves of hiding, to stand on the great prophetic mountain of God's Word.lllTo face the strong winds of emotion and stress, to strengthen ourselves in the days of shaking and turmoil, to let the fire consume us, burn us into propheticfire. The fire of his spirit...then we will hear the revelations that we seek, the voice small and still calls us to stand on that mountain! We are called out of the dark places of the cave to go forth as Prophets.
Anointing, guiding, instructing, building, bring things to pass!
Calling things forth that are not.
being a voice to a lost peoples.
Standing in the rightful places of Office and Authority of Prophet in that day.
Sometimes we have to travel through the wilderness to find the cave.
Prophetic maturation...we grow into our gifts.."Prophecy according to your faith", As you are built up and moved with the spirit into certain areas, there is prophetic timing.
But when God tells us to stand to come out of the cave we must go forth and stand and revelation will come. Not by power or might but by his spirit.
What doest thou here Elijah, come stand on the mountain I have some things to show you to tell you...I have something for you to do
