The Spirit and Power of Elijah

Michelle McClain Walters

As it was in the days of Elijah, a great number of God's people today dwell in a nation that is on a path of progressive moral decline. America has the most liberal abortion standard in the world. Christians are hooked on pornography. The homosexual agenda is finding acceptance even in the church. Divorce is on the rise in the church. Human trafficking is manifesting as the ugly side of globalization. Those who were once considered great leaders are now preaching a doctrine of inclusion, and many Christian leaders are afraid to say on national television that Jesus Christ is the only way to salvation.

With the turn of a new decade plagued with violence, sickness, disease, and economic instability, the people cry out for the prophets to speak. And God is raising up a prophetic people who will help prepare the way for His purposes. A new company of Elijah prophets—holy, bold, and uncompromising—are being equipped to restore the spiritual destiny of the church in our generation.

In this book, Michelle McClain-Walters challenges readers to awaken to the call God is stirring in the earth and stand up as modern-day Elijahs who will partner with the Holy Spirit to change the culture by turning hearts back to God. Readers will be encouraged to do the following:

• Identify the call of God on their lives in this hour and ask, "Am I an Elijah?"

• Learn what it takes to walk in the spirit and power of Elijah, and discern where they may be in their own journey

• Understand the different roles miracles play during times of revival, reformation, and restoration

• Learn to pray prayers that move heaven and shake earth, as well as how to persist in prayer

This book will empower readers to discover their prophetic destiny in this hour and position themselves to receive a double portion of the spirit and power of Elijah.
