THIS EXPERIENCE MUST COME

And he saw him no more.
2 Kings 2:12

It is not wrong to depend upon Elijah as long as God gives him to
you, but remember the time will come when he will have to go; when he
stands no more to you as your guide and leader, because God does not
intend he should. You say - "I cannot go on without Elijah." God says
you must.

Alone at your Jordan. v.14. Jordan is the type of separation where
there is no fellowship with anyone else, and where no one can take
the responsibility for you. You have to put to the test now what you
learned when you were with your Elijah. You have been to Jordan over
and over again with Elijah, but now you are up against it alone. It
is no use saying you cannot go; this experience has come, and you
must go. If you want to know whether God is the God you have faith to
believe Him to be, then go through your Jordan alone.

Alone at your Jericho. v.15. Jericho is the place where you have seen
your Elijah do great things. When you come to your Jericho you have a
strong disinclination to take the initiative and trust in God, you
want someone else to take it for you. If you remain true to what you
learned with Elijah, you will get the sign that God is with you.

Alone at your Bethel. v.23. At your Bethel you will find yourself at
your wits' end and at the beginning of God's wisdom. When you get to
your wits' end and feel inclined to succumb to panic, don't; stand
true to God and He will bring His truth out in a way that will make
your life a sacrament. Put into practice what you learned with your
Elijah, use his cloak and pray. Determine to trust in God and do not
look for Elijah any more.
